The Heritage Press operated from 1937 - 1982 and was created by George Macy, who managed with editors the reprinting of volumes from the Limited Editions Club, thus enabling fine printing exemplars to trickle down to a broader public still thirsty, newly thirsty, for classic nineteenth-century novels and biographies. This title is augmented by the full-color paintings of Pierre Brissaud, and translated from the original French by Desmond Flower. Folded genealogy of Saint-Simon is laid in.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
