| Summary |
This is a compilation of biographies of prominent writers and thinkers during the reign of King George III. Lives ofℓMen of Letters and Scienceℓincludes authors Voltaire, Rousseau andℓHume, just to name a few. Steel engravings compliment each segment. Rousseau's love of the fictional novel inspired some mixed opinions about the validity of his philosophical reputation, although it is argued that his fictional work maintains his philosophical themes.ℓℓℓ |
