In Volume 1 of this three-part biography, originally published in 1878, Seeley records Stein's life from his birth until 1807, when he was central to negotiations with Napoleon at Tilsit and abolished the institution of serfdom. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the Napoleonic Period or the history of Germany.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
