Additional Description

Custodial History

These volumes were originally owned by Sidney L. Samuels. Upon his death, these volumes, along with the rest of his 7,000-volume library, were bequeathed to Texas Wesleyan College. They were added to the library's circulating collection (accession nos. W166835-W166844) at that time. It is unclear when they were transferred to the Special Collections and University Archives.
