Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a scholarly, observant examination of the British people, culture, and customs as viewed through the lens of a German philosopher living in England during the late 18th Century. The author's sharp wit and astute observations create a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of a society poised on the precipice of great social and political change. The author takes a microscope to what he sees as the unique and curious idiosyncrasies of the society and people around him. The nation's rise to economic and military prominence, its tumultuous relationship with its American colonies, and its global reach at the apex of its imperial power are contextual backdrops to the author's musings on the nature of liberty, honor, political participation and corruption, social stratification, the evolving nature of the press, and the role of women. This book includes important historical anecdotes about significant events such as the American Revolution, the Wilkes Riots, and the Gordon Riots. Readers glimpse key figures, including Benjamin Franklin, Lord North, and George III, through the author's eyes. This book is a valuable record of a pivotal moment in British history and an interesting study of a people and their institutions in a time of great societal change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
