Publisher Description: 1911. This subject is very comprehensive, and the material required was obtained, in most instances, from the original records of Probate and Court Registers in various parts of the world, by exhaustive research in libraries at home and abroad, and by reference to magazine and newspaper files. It was Mr. Harris' effort to select from this collection the wills which appeared most interesting and entertaining. Contents: Importance of wills; Ancient wills; Wills in fiction and poetry; Curious wills relating to husbands, wives and children, animals, charity, burial and miscellaneous; Testamentary and kindred miscellany; Wills of many famous foreigners and Americans. |
