These sorts of books are easy to pick p in second-hand book shops, because they have almost no commercial value. So you could buy copies from the years 1912-1915 if you really wanted to find out. Or it's just possible that a very good library might have copies in their archives. The chance of acquiring copies of the missing pages is very slight, unless the library allowed photocopying.

Maybe you could help to tell me which edition I have and how many pages are missing at the back.Is it possible to have a copy of the missing pages to keep with the rest of the book? For identification: Page 726 show last page of dictionary of Events up to year 1912 (last event was Señor Canalejas, Spanish Premier, assassinated, 12 November). I presume it was then published in 1913. It is an amazing book which brings all sorts of different feelings. I inherited it from my husband’s family who are South African since 1886. I will be very grateful if you could help. Isa I do not collect The Pears’ cyclopaedia but have one that is missing the front cover up to page 3 and back cover back to page 1062.
