THE EDUCATION OF HENRY ADAMS
                                         by Henry Adams (THE FRANKLIN LIBRARY HC 1983)



Franklin Library, 1983. Leather bound, 530 pp. Illustrated with Portraits of Leading Figures of the Day. The book has never been opened, has a light partial wear to the gilt page edges.


Education of Henry Adams records the struggle of Bostonian Henry Adams (1838-1918), in early old age, to come to terms with the dawning 20th century, so different from the world of his youth. It is also a sharp critique of 19th century educational theory and practice. In 1907, Adams began privately circulating copies of a limited edition printed at his own expense. Commercial publication had to await its author's 1918 death, whereupon it won the 1919 Pulitzer Prize.
