In two volumes. Lacking the supplementary volume. Uniformly bound in the publisher's original full embossed cloth. The life and letters of Barthold Georg Niebuhr, with essays on his character and influence by the Chevalier Bunsen, and Professor Brandis and Loebell. Barthold Georg Niebuhr (1776 - 1831) was a Danish-German statesman and historian who became Germany's leading historian of Ancient Rome and a founding father of modern scholarly historiography. By 1810 Niebuhr was inspiring German patriotism in students at the University of Berlin by his analysis of Roman economics and government. Historians generally view Niebuhr as a leader of the Romantic Era and symbol of German national spirit that emerged after the defeat at Jena. But he was also deeply rooted in the classical spirit of the Age of Enlightenment, his use of philologic analysis, and his emphasis on both general and particular phenomena in history.
