The Story of the Nations Library was a British book series started by Thomas Fisher Unwin in 1885. It reflected his views, which were liberal and internationalist; and also his wife's interest in abolitionism and suffragism.[1] The series was published in the USA by G. P. Putnam, though not in identical form.[2]
