About This Item
Newburyport: William B. Allen & Co, 1817. First edition, 12mo, pp. 143, [1]; original printed orange paper-covered boards; near fine. In nine instances in the text where a name has been given in asterisks, an early owner has filled in the name in full. Knapp was a lawyer who practiced in New York and Boston, and whose chief literary output consisted mostly of historical and biographical works. As a biographer "he was laudatory and patriotic, but not trustworthy" (Kunitz & Haycraft). Nicolas Jean-de-Dieu Soult, 1st Duke of Dalmatia, was a French general and statesman, named Marshal of the Empire in 1804 and often called Marshal Soult. Soult was one of only six officers in French history to receive the distinction of Marshal General of France. The Duke also served three times as President of the Council of Ministers, or Prime Minister of France. Wright I, 1592; American Imprints 41208.
