A single octavo volume titled The Court Circles of the Republic, or the Beauties and Celebrities of the Nation, authored by Mrs. E. F. Ellet with sketches by Mrs. R. E. Mack. The work is bound in the publisher's dark burgundy textured cloth with a decorative gilt-stamped title plate on the front board and gilt lettering and ornamentation on the spine. The title page indicates the book was sold by subscription only and was published in 1869 by the Hartford Publishing Co. of Hartford, Connecticut, in conjunction with several regional distributors including J. A. Stoddard & Co. (Chicago and St. Louis), Jones Brothers & Co. (Cincinnati), J. D. Denison (New York), Geo. P. Hawkes & Co. (Boston), and J. Laws & Co. (San Francisco). The text illustrates American life and society under eighteen presidents, from Washington to Grant, and features steel-engraved portrait plates throughout.
