The Author of the following Inquiry has had his thoughts long employed, and will be for some time engaged in arranging and composing a system of Political Philosophy, in which he will have occasion to consider the Strength, Wealth. Health, Virtue, and Liberty of Nations. This work will require several years before the Author can venture to publish it to the world. In the mean time the state of his country is such, that he feels himself called upon to turn his attention from a general to a particular subject. He has therefore drawn up as concisely as possible the following Inquiry, in which he certainly meant to be impartial; and he was obliged to adopt the formality of divisions and subdivisions, that the view, though extensive, might not be obscured by objects seen in groups, or by too great a quantity of matter ill arranged.
As, however, many of his readers may dislike this dry, didactic manner, he has taken the liberty of adding an Allegorical Representation of the principal parts of this Inquiry, which may be useful to readers of a certain description: and he hopes to be excused for taking every method to influence the public mind, and to give information, where he thought it was wanted, on a most important subject.
In both the didactic and allegorical parts he has purposely avoided whatever he thought could give offence to any person; but he owed it to himself not to go any lengths to please a party, either in office or in opposition.

An Impartial and Comprehensive View of the Present State of Great Britain
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive investigation into Britain's complex social issues, historical advantages, and the impact of luxury on the health and virtue of the nation. The author, a reasoned and impartial observer, provides an accurate representation of Britain's current strengths and weaknesses. Unlike the celebratory accounts of other writers or the overly critical tones of the opposition, this book acknowledges that good and bad ministers have existed throughout history, and that each political viewpoint has its merits and drawbacks. The author takes care to distinguish real national advantages from exaggerated ones, focusing on Britain's geographical situation and moderate climate, productive agriculture and manufacturing capabilities, and its unique status as an island nation. However, the author also discusses disadvantages such as press gangs and the enlisting of soldiers for life, the nation's game laws, the payment of tithes in kind, and the widespread practice of poor rates. The book also takes aim at the multiplicity of weights and measures and the labyrinthine nature of Britain's laws. Finally, the author examines the corrosive effects of luxury, which produces prodigality, effeminacy, imprisonment for debt, and overly harsh penal laws. Through this careful examination, the book provides new insights into the complex forces shaping British society and their long-term historical significance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331067450_0
