3847. Chancellor Robert R. Livingston of New York 1746-1813, by George Dangerfield (17 Jan) I was inspired to read this unimaginatively titled book for two reasons: (1) I was much impressed by the account of the superb work Livingston did in France to facilitate the Louisiana Purchase as told in the great book I read in December, A Wilderness So Immense: The Louisiana Purchase and the Destiny of America, by Jon Kukla; and (2) I have such great memories of the other books by George Dangerfield I've read: The Era of Good Feelings (read 5 Dec 1970), The Strange Death of Liberal England (read 9 Dec 1970), The Damnable Question: A Study in Anglo-Irish Relations (read 25 Dec 1977) and The Awakening of American Nationalism 1815-1828 (read 21 Jan 1978). However this book did not catch me up, and though Livingston had an interesting life much did not interest me, somehow. ( )
