Books to Adopt

The History of Appian of Alexandria (1692)

by Appianus of Alexandria Return to list Adopt this book

Appian of Alexandria was born into a wealthy family c.95AD and worked as a barrister in Rome from around 120AD. He wrote this history in 24 books, which gives an account of a number of peoples and their incorporation into the Roman empire. An ideal choice for historians!

I use the British Library often for research, but I LOVE adopting books as gifts for people. My most recent adoption was in honor of my English professor in college. I am not just a literary scholar because of her influence--I am also a better human being.

My daughter and I both love the ambiance of the British Library and feel proud to be Readers. Supporting the Adopt a Book scheme is the least I can do.
