About This Item
New York: The Literary Guild, 1930. hardcover. Book VG: spine sunned, shelf wear, text clean, binding tight./no DJ. 8vo 364pp. from Preface: "The family whose story is told in this volume (and with which I am in no way connected) is the most distinguished in the United States. Suddenly passing from village obscurity into international fame in the latter part of the eighteenth century, it has ever since maintained a preeminent position, due neither to great wealth nor to a hereditary title, but to character and sheer intellectual ability. It is this, in part, which gives it a unique interest, although the life of efach of its members here chronicled ahs an interest also of its own. The volume, however, is not intended to be merely a series of biographies. It is essentially a biography of a family, thrown against the changing background of its times for a hundred and fifty years." #01692.
