The Philippines

This title page belongs to the book The Philippines by A. D. Hall, a work published by Street & Smith in New York. The author is noted for also having written Cuba: Its Past, Present and Future. The presence of the Silliman University Library, Dumaguete, P.I. stamp establishes its provenance within the institution's collection, providing a tangible link to the early development of the library and Silliman's role as a repository of historical and culturally relevant materials in the Philippines, particularly during the American colonial period. The book itself likely reflects American perspectives and interests in the newly acquired territory of the Philippines following the Spanish-American War.

The book is considered valuable. It is advised that researchers use digital copy rather than physical books for preservation purposes. 345 pages : illustrations ; map Date Created: c. 1898 (Based on the map copyright of 1898 and text content detailing the events of the Spanish-American War) Fil. 991.4 H14 APA Citation: Hall, A.
