4) Makers of Philadelphia - An Historical Work
Charles Morris, 1894, 308 pages
The full title of this publication is: "Makers of Philadelphia - An Historical Work Giving Portraits and Sketches of the Most Eminent Citizens of Philadelphia From the Time of William Penn to the Present Day."
From the Preface:
    "The History of a city is, to a very considerable extent, the history of the men who, by their energy, ability, and public spirit, have made it what it is; the men to whose well-directed efforts is due the development of its municipal institutions, industrial interests, and standing in public estimation.  This may be particularly said of Philadelphia, which has been the nursery of a succesion of able and patriotic citizens, whose influence has been steadily felt in the growth of its civic institutions, while many of them have won a reputation that extends throughout the civilized world.  These men have been, in the fullest sense, the "Makers of Philadelphia," and deserved all the honor that can be given them by placing on record their careers.  To them the city owes its origin and its prosperity, and it is due to them that the story of their lives and doings shall be preserved for future generations of Philadelphians to read and take example from."

Each of the hundreds of biographies of these important men also includes a small portrait.  This is a wonderful reference for historical or genealogical research in the Philadelphia area.

5) Philadelphia and Notable Philadephians
Moses King, 1902, 232 pgaes
This is an amazing collection of photographs dealing with the city of Philadelphia and prominent residents thereof.  The Introduction notes the extent of this pictorial record: "Twenty-one hundred and fifty-two Philadephia portraits and views are brought together in this volume:  Fifteen hundred and sixty classified uniform portraits of Philadephians; a half hundred historic prints and nearly six hundred historical and photographic views, including one hundred and sixty-eight city and country homes.  It is hoped they will intereste the present generation and be of permanent biographical and historic value."

The publication starts with brief history of the city in general and then some of the more historic areas of the city.  It then proceeds into the pictorial record, highlighting what is mentioned above.  Each picture and portrait has a brief description.  The pictures themselves are of good quality, but are not high resolution.  There is an index included in the back, however, the last page is missing approximately half of its content due to page loss.

6) Old Historic Germantown
Naaman Henry Keyser, 1906, 104 pages
According to the Preface:
    "This little volume was prepared at the request of the Pennsylvania-German Society.  It is not intended as a history of Germantown, its purpose is rather to illustrate the German influence in the settlement and development of the most unique town in Pennsylvania in not in America."
It includes a general discussion of the town and its settlement, and its early residents, homes, mills, taverns, churches, etc. There are numerous photographs and engravings of historic buildings included as well.

11) Quaint Corners In Philadelphia (Revised Edition)

John Wanamaker, 1883, 1922, 435 pages
This publication is a collection of history and anecdotes from the Philadelphia region.  It is liberally illustrated and makes a nice addition to other resources for historical research in Philadelphia.
From the Preface:
    "Originally written for one of the best weekly magazines ever issued in the United States, Our Continent, the various chapters were written by writers who not only knew their Philadelphia, but had a deep sympathy with their subject.  They appeared in the pages of that publication during 1882 and 1883.  At the close of the series they were collected and issued in the form in which they now appear under the title, A Sylvan City; or, Quaint Corners in Philadelphia.
    It was a lively, entertaining, informative book, and gave an excellent idea of Philadelphia, its history, its institutions, and its own peculiar viewpoint, as they then existed.  Moreover, the narratives were charmingly illustrated by some of Philadelphia's most attractive young illustrators..."

12) Philadelphia in the World War 1914-1919
The Philadelphia War History Committee, 1922, 780 pages
This publication is a rather extensive collection of information concerning the involvement of Philadelphia and its resources and residents in the efforts of World War I. 
From the Foreword:
    "Philadelphia's patriotism and unswerving loyalty to the Nation were never more plainly manifested than during the World War.  Her people gave without stint, of their time and their means; many were wounded, and some, alas, made the supreme sacrifice at their Country's call.  It is appropriate that a record of their work shall be preserved in permanent form for widespread circulation.  Interest and sentiment alike suggest that all information concerning the activities of Philadelphians, whether in military, naval, civil, industrial or financial circles during the war, shall be preserved for historical reasons, and is an inspiration to future generations."
There is no index included, however, the publication is fully bookmarked and text-searchable.

13) Old Churches and Meeting Houses In and Around Philadelphia
John T. Faris, 1926, 337 pages
This is a chronicle of various meeting places in the Philadelphia area, written to give some permanence to their record and place in history. 
From the Preface:
    "Some years ago, when the author was preparing the book "Old Roads Out of Philadelphia," he began to gather information about the Old Churches an Meeting Houses of Philadelphia and its neighborhood.  The desire to put in permanent form some of the information secured was held in abeyance, partly because there was such wealth of material.
    Now that the book has been prepared, it has, of course, been found impossible to tell of all the institutions that have claim to a place among the Old Churches and Meeting Houses in and about Philadelphia.  Limitation of space has made necessary the selection of typical organizations which dated to the years before the Revolution and, in the selection, interest for the general reader has been one of the author's guiding principles."
Unfortunately, there are simply too many churches and meeting houses to list, but the publication is fully bookmarked and includes a complete index at the end.

14) The Wissahickon Valley Within the City of Philadelphia
Francis Burke Brandt, 1927, 144 pages
This publication contians descriptions of a very scenic area in the Philadelphia region.  It included a pictorial review of a number of locations in the Wissahickon Valley, which is good for historical research of the Philadelphia area.

15) Germantown, 1683 - 1933
Edward W. Hocker, 1933, 330 pages
This publication contains a discussion of the history of Germantown from its founding up into the 20th century.  It begins with coverage of the town's founding in 1683 and discusses it's early settlers and history.  It then goes into the Colonial period relates the changes that came to the town with the advance of years, new immigrants and shifting influences.  The account then progresses through the Revolutionary War period and its growth and development afterwards.  Next, the period from its incorporation in 1854 to the beginning of the 20th century is discussed, noting its continued development.  It finally moves into the 20th century, and relates the further changes that came with time, including the technological and social forces that shaped it.  The publication also includes a full index at the end.
