{"product_id":"james-bowdoin-and-the-patriot-frank-e-manuel-9780871692474","title":"James Bowdoin and the Patriot Philosophers: Memoirs, American Philosophical Society (Vol. 247)","description":"A history of the early years of the American Academy of Arts \u0026amp; Sciences, \u0026amp; the life \u0026amp; career of James Bowdoin, the Academy's first president. The strength of the work rests in a combination of its subject matter \u0026amp; execution. The subject matter is both intrinsically interesting \u0026amp; simultaneously neglected. Neither the accomplishments of Bowdoin nor the contributions of the members of the Academy have been adequately studied, \u0026amp; the Manuel's careful exploration is a valuable addition to our understanding of the founding of the nation. Using primary manuscript sources, the work is, by turns, witty, learned, \u0026amp; often simply fascinating. An incomparable account of one of Revolutionary America's most elusive \u0026amp; fascinating figures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank E.
