History of Art in Phoenicia and Its Dependencies (Volume 1) Book

This book was written 170+ years, which explains part of the set up, language and interpretation that is currently no longer supported.
And I liked to discover a book that old that celebrated women throughout history.

But I also felt it was riddled with bias: the writer clearly did not like Catherine the Great, she is desribed as the devil incarnated, while for instance Isabel of Spain is excused for most of the terrible things she did. I am not sure where this stems from, but it did bother me.
