He became famous for his effortless ability to merge serious intellectual exercises with casual anecdotes. His massive volume 'Essais' (translated literally as "Attempts" or "Trials") contains, to this day, some of the most widely influential essays ever written. Montaigne had a direct influence on writers the world over, including René Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, William Hazlitt, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Friedrich Nietzsche, Stefan Zweig, Eric Hoffer, Isaac Asimov, and many others.

Scott, Sir Walter.
THE LIFE OF NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE, Emperor of the French. With a Preliminary View of the French Revolution. In Two Volumes. By the Author of "Waverly" &c.
Two volumes. Engraved frontis. Double column. Tall 12mo. 220 mm. Original full gold gilt decorated full leather bindings, slightly worn. Volume II front joint fragile. Nice set. To supplement information gleaned from reading and from correspondence with military and political figures, Scott made a research trip to London in October 1826, where the government had granted him free access to archives dealing with Napoleon's exile in St. Helena. Later in the same month he visited Paris to speak with former colleagues of Napoleon, and was lionized by the social and literary world. Among Scott's influential network of correspondents in both the British and French governments was the Duke of Wellington himself who provided a first-hand account of Napoleon's Russian Campaign. This is a very early American edition of Scott's massive work. FRENG 5
