Letters Concerning The English Nation is a collection of essays written by the French philosopher and writer, Voltaire. Originally published in 1733, the book is a series of letters written by a fictional Persian traveler named Usbek, who is visiting England and reporting back to his friends in Persia about the customs, culture, and government of the English people.In these letters, Voltaire praises the English for their tolerance, religious freedom, and their system of government, which he describes as a model for other nations to follow. He also criticizes some aspects of English society, such as the treatment of women and the harshness of the criminal justice system.The book is a significant work of Enlightenment literature, as it reflects the ideas and values of the Enlightenment period, such as reason, tolerance, and progress. It was also influential in shaping the way that Europeans viewed England and its political and social institutions.Overall, Letters Concerning The English Nation is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on English society and culture during the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
