So, who is this Cavendish guy? Well, he was born into a super-rich family in 1593. As a rich person, he was, of course, a courtier and awarded a number of government appointments and titles.
I learned of The World’s Work when a collection of them, covering the first fourteen years of publication, from January, 1901 through the end of 1914, were brought into the store here at Good Find. Like with all our products, I researched the collection’s marketability and pricing, but as sometimes happens, my interest was captured by these volumes of rich, zesty history.
