I only read chapter one and quit reading after noticing at least five errors therein.

An interesting account of George Wythe, the first Virginian to sign the Declaration of Independence, a beloved lawyer who rewrote his state's law codes and taught some of our country's greatest men.
Perhaps this is petty of me, but I give this book only three stars because of a brief mention of Lucrezia Borgia and her supposed love of using arsenic poisoning. Added to the comment that she had an illegitimate child via an incestuous affair with her father, I could not help but wonder what other information in this book was also so inaccurate.
Still, it's an interesting history of the city of Richmond, Virginia and of the medical practice of the 18th and early 19 th century.

The photographs are good. The text is trite and self-evident. It's a history, and so should show some references, and it doesn't. The "modern" chapter (the book was published in 1994, so don't expect too much) is fluff.

Good read. Packed with historical context. However, if the author stated ONE MORE TIME that Thomas Jefferson was George Wythe's close personal dearest friend...I was going to scream. Be prepared to jump all over time and topics with each chapter.
