How To Find When A Book Was Published?

I have found this book on Education by Herbert Spencer and it was published by A. L. Burt Company in 52-58 Duane, New York. I have done a lot of research in the last couple of days. This book is very old. All the pages are intact, The binding is still holding but there has been pages that have been falling out. There is no Usb # and no date. I need some help.

    There are contact details for the seller and you could try emailing them to see if your two books are a match?

    Thank you very much. This does answer my question. I know a book dealer and he said the same thing. The info page when the book was printed was tore out or lost that is why I could not find the printing date for this book.

      The Online Library of Liberty may help... Ummm, honestly I can't seem to find any information on it. You may need to go to a rare book dealer to get more info on it. I also found this link that might help. Good Luck! Also, ISBN # are fairly new, and most books that are over 30 years old [and some newer] don't have ISBNs for their original publication.

      I was thinking about those book dealers that we have here in NH. Because the book I have has no info about it.

        There is a page on the book that tells you all that kind of information

        Like I said there is no info in this book about when it was published. All it says is that it was published by A. L. Burt Company but no date. Sorry I already said that there was no info about the date.
