North's son Montagu published the three lives after his father's death, that of Francis in 1742 and those of John and Dudley in 1744. While he heavily edited his father's manuscripts of the two latter, the version which Montagu produced for publication of Francis's Life, the longest of the three, grossly distorts both the form and content of his father's final version. North's theory of biography, discussed in his 'general preface' (published in 1984 as Roger North: General Preface and Life of Dr John North, edited by Peter Millard), is among the earliest in English, and his longest biographythat of Francis Northdemonstrates not only his theoretical concerns but, in its innovative form, his ideas of combining chronological and thematic structure .

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
