Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Compleat View of the Present Politicks of Great-Britain A Man grows sick of some Nations, as he grows weary of some Places, because he quickly sees them in all possible Lights, and when once we are forc´d to view Things over and over again, the Appetite must pall, and the Understanding grow uneasy. Here, at London there is no Danger of feeling any such unpleasant Sensation; even in the Course of a long Life, every Day, nay every Hour, produces something new; the Face of the Country, and the Humours of the People, are for ever changing. The Diversions which were in vogue when I was first here, in the latter End of the Reign of King William, are now not only difus´d, but forgot; nay, Things are as much alter´d since I attended Prince Eugene, during his Visit to the English Court in 1711, as in some other Countries they would have been in a Century ac least; and then to mention the Vicissitudes of the three last Years, would not only require the Pen of a true German, but the Patience also of a Swiss Reader. After this Opening, you may possibly expect a curious Detail of the present State of Things here, considered in every Light, and reduc´d, for the Sake of so good a Judge, and so kind a Friend, into a neat and succinct Discourse.
