This copy is enhanced by a long autograph dedication signed to Jacques de Ricaumont, “whose trusting friendship and discerning taste have encouraged me for so many years to bring back to life, as was finally only right, the most fascinating figure in history. “*The Youth of Alexander*” is therefore a book written for him, and it is from him, too, that this book has received one of its finest accolades. With all my grateful affection. “In the love of Alexander””.
