This was Godwin's first published work, ".... it was issued anonymously, probably because it was his first effort, and the author was yet uncertain of his own powers as well as his own opinions..... The book is rare, but for those who can lay their hands on it thoroughly worth reading in itself, and also as showing how the commanding figure of the great Tory statesman drew the enthusiastic and admiration of one who was so soon to startle his contemporaries by asserting in 'Political Justice' that all government was an infringement of the Rights of Man". - Charles Kegan Paul, Godwin: his Friends and Contemporaries.

Insegno' dialettica e lingua greca all'Universita' di Pisa e nel 1807 fu nominato ordinario della cattedra di filologia e di storia comparata delle lettere e delle belle arti dell'Universita' di Varsavia, dove rimase fino al 1822.

Assai interessante la seconda parte dell'opera dedicata ai tanti artisti e scienziati italiani che operarono in Polonia.

Andy Paull [1892-1959] was a Squamish leader, native rights activist, coach, and lawyer. The author got to know Mr. Paull during his tenure at St. Pauls Church on the Squamish Indian Reserve at North Vancouver in the early 1940s. "This book is Andy Paull as I knew him and understood his times. I make no apology. Perhaps this book fits into the category of an historical novel. It does however catch the spirit of the man. I knew him well." - iii. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Appears unread. An exceptional copy of this significant remembrance. Book
