Its the After School Series College Latin Course in English. The copyright date is 1883. There ie a label on the inside front cover that reads Thiz book belongs to Ralph W. Emerson and it has a catalog no. Below.b then on the next page it has the signature Ralph W. Emerson and s date below of 1883. Now if you go to the last page in the book there is s blurg where it looks Emerson is giving his feedback on the book and below the blurb its signed R. Waldo Emerson. Ive added the pactures of the 3 pages. Can yo6 please share any feedback with me please.b thank you, coby
