The books in this list are from the office library of a small-town lawyer, A.H. Ware, who practiced in North Anson, Maine, during the second half of the nineteenth century. They may have comprised his entire library. Most of them have a label from a single bookseller in Portland. The rest bear the signature of an older Maine lawyer, James T. Leavitt.
