Les Misérables is one of the longest novels ever written, with the unabridged English version being around 1,500 pages long. The French version is about 1,900 pages long. The novel was originally published in French in 1862 and was an immediate success. It was quickly translated into many languages.

Two bookbinders, Michael A. Donohue (of Cox & Donohue) and William P. Henneberry started the company at 407-425 Dearborn in 1871. First publishing 1879 and launched series of editions of popular novelists, concentrated on libraries (i.e., sets and series) until 1890, making these books printed sometime between 1879 and 1890 I believe, based on my research and conversations with antique bookdealers.
