Excerpt from Letters on England, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Descriptive Scenes, With Remarks on the State of Society, Domestic Economy, Habits of the People, and Condition of the Manufacturing Classes Generally, Interpreted With Miscellaneous Observations and ReflectionsIf this be true of countries generally, and espe cially of the unenlightened portions of Asia, Africa, and Europe, how much more forcibly will it apply to Great Britain, Where the subjects are so copious, and where so vast a field is presented, from which the most idle or heedless gleaner may collect some thing pleasing and useful. How far my gleanings have been judicious or instructive, must be decided by the taste and judgment of my readers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
