The reason this particular text was chosen was that later versions have been stripped of the first person accounts and have interpreted them for the reader. This writing leaving them intact allows the reader to interpret the original accounts for himself. These narratives are quoted exactly complete with misspellings - Introduction."

In-8 gr.

Wells Cahmpney, New York”. “Sketches and records of noted events, celebrated persons and places, national and international affairs in France, Spain, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Roumania, Turkey-in-Europe, Switzerland, and Italy”. Come si sottolinea nella prefazione “it would be impossible in the limits of a single volume to describe even in the simplest fashion, all the great events which have taken place in Europe from 1867 to the present time. The author has contented himself with embodying in his narrative those with which he was most familiar..”. Con tracce d’uso ma complessivam. in buono stato.
