He also wrote biographies on figures such as Oliver Goldsmith, George Washington and Muhammed.Bound in contemporary leather.A Parisian edition in English, produced for use in schools. In a contemporary half calf binding. Externally rather worn; the leather corners are all lacking, and the corners are bumped as a result. Spine has just a little rubbing, as do the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with a few contemporary instances of underlining and annotations. Good
