Description of the Book

It is clear that ambition consumed more talent than those given to Pyrrhus. The interest he gave in force was so profound, that a group of enemy soldiers abandoned his standard at one time.

Consumed by his lust for military glory, his work shows a series of useless victories and many flashy things without a goal. His personal prowess was second to none and Hannibal considered him the first of all generals, and his name survives in modern speech as an adjective for his precious victories.

About the Author

Abbott graduated from Bowdoin College in 1820. At some point during his years there, he is said to have added a second “t” to his surname, to avoid being “Jacob Abbot the 3rd” (he was although one source says he didn’t actually start signing his name with two t’s until many years later).

Abbott studied at Andover Theological Seminary in 1821, 1822, and 1824. He taught at Portland Academy and then at Amherst College the following year.
