""A Memoir of Zerah Colburn"" is a biographical work written by Zerah Colburn himself and published in 1833. Colburn was a child prodigy who gained fame in the early 19th century for his remarkable mental arithmetic abilities. The book chronicles his life from his early childhood in Vermont to his travels in Europe and his eventual retirement in the United States. Colburn's story is one of both triumph and tragedy, as he experienced both great success and personal hardships throughout his life. The memoir provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a gifted individual and the challenges he faced in a world that often misunderstood and exploited his talents. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the cultural and social attitudes of the time towards intelligence, education, and fame.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
