The book provides a detailed account of the life and times of Sir Christopher Wren, one of the most renowned architects in British history. Wren is best known for his work on some of London's most iconic buildings, including St Paul's Cathedral and the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. The book explores Wren's early life, his family background, and his education at Oxford University. It also delves into his career as an architect, his involvement in the Royal Society, and his relationships with other notable figures of his time, including Isaac Newton and King Charles II.

The book is well-researched and provides a wealth of information about Wren's life and legacy, making it an essential read for anyone interested in British history, architecture, or the arts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
