An impressive early eighteenth-century volume from Charles Rollin's celebrated Ancient History. Rollin's monumental work was among the most influential historical publications of the Enlightenment and was widely read throughout Europe by scholars, statesmen, and collectors. This volume covers the civilizations of Egypt and Carthage preserving both historical text and an original engraved map that greatly enhances its desirability. A distinguished and visually striking artifact that brings nearly three centuries of history directly into the modern library.
