Industry Reviews"Eidam...is good at reporting unsubstantiated eighteenth-century gossip, which always makes for entertaining reading. As to his complaints about previous biographers, they are often well founded, but most of them have been known and widely discussed for several generations....Indeed, Eidam's own work is deeply marred both by errors in fact and profound misunderstandings."First Things - Michael Linton (01/19/2002)eBay Product ID: EPID1661963
