About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Influence of Monarchs by Frederick Adams Woods. Read in English by Leon Harvey Frederick Adams Woods presents compelling evidence to support the great man theory of history and his own category scientific inquiry known as historiometry, or the study of history. In this work, the summarised history of fourteen European nations that have achieved renown at some point in their recorded timeline is compared to the biography of their monarchs and demonstrates the strong link between the intellect and willpower of the supreme leadership and the condition of their country. - Summary by Leon Harvey
