It feels almost...sacrilegious to find such books just sitting on an ordinary library shelf. Over 100 years old. Never scanned or cataloged. Totally offline knowledge. And you'll never find any reviews to help you to decide what to make of these books.
You could easily be the only person to read it in 40 or more years. This is the most likely description of The Most Obscure Book in the World.
An honor that will move to another book... the moment you tell another soul that it exists.
