Seller's Description:
Good. Contains Pages 87-197. Oversized volume, measuring 11-3/4 by 9-1/4 inches. Footnotes. Illustrations. Index. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some edge soiling. Richard Beale Davis (3 June 1907-30 March 1981), literary historian and documentary editor. From 1936 to 1940 Davis taught at Mary Washington College (later the University of Mary Washington) and from 1940 to 1947 at the University of South Carolina, though from 1943 to 1946 during World War II he was on leave serving in the United States Navy. In 1947 he joined the English department of the University of Tennessee, where he taught until he retired in 1977. Davis became the preeminent literary historian of the early South. Davis published more than twenty books and nearly a hundred scholarly essays, many of them treating important or neglected Virginia writers. The Abbe Correa was a philosopher, diplomat, politician, and scientist. One of the most remarkable achievements of the career of this sixty-two-year-old chronic invalid--his health is mentioned in almost every other letter that he wrote--is that he set out to see as much as he could of America. By traveling for a few months of each of his first four years in America, despite the real hardships of the road, this old man saw more of the United States than all but a handful of U.S. citizens did in a lifetime. In 1813, he left Europe for the New World, arriving first in New York City. His travels took him several times to Monticello, the home of former President Thomas Jefferson where his political views found a fulsome reception. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1815. In a letter of August 17, 1813 to a mutual friend, Jefferson described Serra as, "I found him what you had described in every respect; certainly the greatest collection, and best digest of science in books, men, and things that I have ever met with; and with these the most amiable and engaging character.".
