About this Item

Priest was known for integrating many types of sources into his writings, seeking to create a semblance of authority and credibility for a popular audience. Priest's fantastic assertions persist today in the works of pseudoscience, pseudohistory, and New Age pop culture. In this respect, he can be considered a pioneer in popular but highly erroneous publishing. The popularity of his works allowed Americans of his time to indulge in romantic fantasies about the past that encouraged their own racism.Wikipedia. THIS is the book in its original 1825 binding showing general wear of a 200 year old book--wear to the leather cover and general, foxing discoloration of the pages but with a tight, straight binding. The book will be carefully wrapped and boxed for safe shipping. Seller Inventory # 004260
