Though he attracted much attention during his life for his irascible, aggressive personality, editorship of famous periodicals, and friendship with the talented and famous, he is remembered mainly for his multiple-volume memoir My Life and Loves, which was banned in countries around the world for its sexual explicitness."

Disbound. XLib. (Boston Athenaeum - Withdrawn). 8vo. 220 mm. Nicolas Gouin Dufief (1776?-1834) was a native of Nantes. In 1792 he followed the Royalist sentiments of his parents, and joined the Royal Naval Corps. In the same year he sought refuge in England, but soon afterwards he sailed for the West Indies, and was attracted thence to Philadelphia, which he reached in July 1793. During his sojourn in America, he became acquainted with Dr. Joseph Priestley, Thomas Jefferson, and other eminent men. In Philadelphia he published an essay on The Philosophy of Language, in which he first explained to the world how he was led to make those discoveries "from which my system of universal and economical instruction derives such peculiar and manifold advantages". For nearly twenty-five years he taught French with success in America and in England. With this set I offer Vol. I of the 1810 Philadelphia Edition for FREE. ** PRICE JUST REDUCED! FRENG 4
