What Our Customers Say...
Description
Folding Plates, Illustrated, Leather Binding
A set complete in ten volumes, exploring the ancient history of Egypt, Carthage, Assyria, Babylonia, Medes and Persia, Macedonia, and Greece. The ninth edition in uniform full calf bindings. By Charles Rollin, French historian and educator. This once famous historical study is uncritical and somewhat inaccurate, nonetheless important as it interested and instructed various generations.
