Synopsis

Originally published in 1864, this early work on Passages from the life of a Philosopher is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. This is a fascinating read for any historian. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
