Information on the Werner Encyclopædia Dictionary?

I was wondering if you knew if Day Otis Kellog created a dictionary called the Werner Encyclopædia, Akron Ohio 1910? It has his name on the articles along with other copyrights like A.R.R and Saalfield publishing. Any information would be appreciated.

This book is over 100 years old, so it is considered antique. Take it to an antique book dealer. He or she should give you a free verbal appraisal.

It appears that you are asking for information and not an appraisal/value.

You do not say if you have a set of books or maybe just a volume?
Your question is complicated because you are actually asking about several different people as well as information about a publication.

It seems that Day Otis Kellog, along with other names, did help in creating dictionaries called Werner Encyclopedia and Saalfield was part of this. Here is one excerpt: Saalfield published the New Americanized in 1903, and was sued for copyright violation.
All of this seems to be a complicated mess so you will have lots of reading material if you do your own research.
There is abundant information on the Internet in regards to all parts of your question.
I did some research and will provide some links but you will be able to find much more with a simple search of each name.
Take your pick of what you wish to read. (Actually, this was interesting research for me.)
