Synopsis

A foreign view of England in the reigns of George I and II: insightful, contemporary letters about a changing nation.

This volume collects the letters of Cesar de Saussure as he travels from the Continent to England, describing sights, people, and everyday life during the early 18th century. Read through his eyes to gain a vivid sense of London, its streets, institutions, and social norms, as well as the king’s court, ceremonies, and the evolving English character.

- Discover London’s layout, daily life, and institutions from inns and coffee houses to hospitals and charity schools.
- Learn how the English people, government, and social customs are portrayed through anecdotes, portraits, and reflections.
- Explore topics from public ceremonies and the court to religion, education, and urban beggars.
- Get a sense of travel from the Rhine to the Thames, and the mix of danger, hospitality, and cultural contrasts.

Ideal for readers of travel writing, historical letters, and early modern cultural observations who want a window into English society and its governance during this era.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
