Dealer: AbebooksUK, James Fergusson Books & Manuscripts
Description: ISBN10: 0195206355, ISBN13: 9780195206357, [publisher: New York/Oxford: Oxford University Press] Hardcover 24 vols. Second printing in the year of publication of an invaluable work of reference: some 17,000 signed biographical notices of the great, good, and not so good - 20 million words in all. "WASHINGTON, George (11 February 1732-14 December 1799), first president of the United States, was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, the son of Augustine Washington and Mary Ball . . . The gentry to which the young man aspired had adopted stylized forms of behavior and embraced values that became central components of Washington's makeup. Some practices were less than admirable; for example, Washington shared with the gentry a passion for gambling. The gentry was also avid in the pursuit of wealth, mainly through land speculation and tobacco planting, and exploited slave labor with no qualms. There was, however, nothing miserly about the society; indeed Virginians sought riches mainly to be able to offer lavish hospitality and to pay for extravagant consumption (Washington spent enormous amounts on clothing, for a gentleman must be clad as a gentleman). Most important, the gentry embraced English country party ideology, which equated manhood with independence and independence with the ownership of large tracts of land as well as proficiency with firearms and skill in horsemanship . . ." This multi-volume set is at a bargain price but will inevitably incur extra shipping charges. [London, United Kingdom] [Publication Year: 1999]

Review "Over 10 years in the making, American National Biography is a fascinating study of the people who have shaped the United States. Why replace the Dictionary of American Biography instead of merely updating it through supplements? Because the editors include new scholarship and people who were missed in the original, especially women and ethnic minorities. Numbering 24 volumes and containing 17, 500 entries, the work offers readable, informative, and critical biographies for each subject, the location of their papers (if they exist), and selective bibliographies. Excellent indexes--subject, contributor, place of birth, and occupation--enhance use. This is an outstanding set that will be heavily consulted for many years to come."--"Outstanding reference sources 2000", American Libraries, May 2000.
