Title: Poorly condensed version, get the original
Review: It seems to be derived from a Project Gutenberg redaction from which the credits were unethically stripped. I find scan-editing errors that match up.This edition merges many paragraphs, making it more difficult to read than the original, and there are no chapter divisions. It's been made into a messy condensed book, only a fraction of the original set.-- It begins with Chapters 19-22 of Volume I of the 2-volume set. (In the 4-volume set, it's in Volume II). So right away there's a problem. You can't start a biography in the middle.-- On Kindle Page 33 it jumps to an incident much later, in 1815.-- Then Page 36 jumps back to cover Chapters 24-25.-- As nearly as I can figure, Kindle Pages 57-62 jump around to various locations I couldn't match.-- Then Pages 62-88 cover Chapters 14-15.At best it's probably 7% of the original, and not the best selections.
