A Freak of Freedom: Or The Republic of San Marino, written by James Theodore Bent in 1879, is a detailed account of the tiny independent state of San Marino, located within Italy. Bent, a British archaeologist and explorer, provides a comprehensive overview of the country's history, culture, and political system. He describes the physical landscape of San Marino, including its mountains and valleys, and discusses the various industries and agricultural practices that sustain the population. Bent also delves into the country's unique political structure, which is based on a system of direct democracy and has remained unchanged for centuries. He explores the role of the Captains Regent, the country's two heads of state, and the Council of the Great and General, the legislature responsible for passing laws. Throughout the book, Bent highlights the ways in which San Marino's small size and isolation have contributed to its preservation and independence, and he reflects on the country's enduring spirit of freedom and democracy. A Freak of Freedom provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known corner of Europe and offers valuable insights into the workings of a truly unique political system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
