Handbook Of Charities

By John Visher

Book Overview

The Handbook of Charities, written by John Visher and originally published in 1894, is a comprehensive guide to various charitable organizations and institutions in the United States. The book is divided into sections, each of which focuses on a specific type of charity, such as hospitals, orphanages, and homes for the elderly. Within each section, Visher provides detailed information on the history, purpose, and operations of the featured charities, as well as their funding sources and the types of services they offer. The book also includes profiles of prominent philanthropists and information on the legal and financial aspects of charitable giving. Despite being over a century old, the Handbook of Charities remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history and development of charitable organizations in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
