Item description from seller

First Edition. Octavo, green cloth, brown labels, gilt letters, 797 pp. Very Good+ in a chipped dust jacket. 'This new collection of Henry Adams letters throws fresh light on the man. Here is the well-known Adams brusqueness and eccentricity, and here also is his litt-known warmth and tenderness. This is the most complete picture yet presented of Henry Adams. He emerges as a scholar, teacher, writer, and warm-hearted dilettante. There are about 650 letters in this collection, written to a hundred different people, and they date from 1858 to 1918.An important introduction brings out many significant details of Adams's life.it also offerrs a much needed interpretation of his autobiography. The book resents a picture of sixty years of American and world history with pungent and spicy comments on life in Boston, Washington, and the capitals of Europe, with a shrewd appraisal of many important public figures.' American Biography, United States History, American History, Journalism, Biography, Historian, Politics. …
