Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Early Days of the Nineteenth Century in England, Vol. 1 of 2: 1800 1820 Viewed from a social and domestic standpoint, the early days of the nineteenth century of the Christian era constitute a period of the national history which cannot be surveyed without interest. Separated as that period is from the present by the space of nearly a hundred years, its manners and customs are nevertheless those of an age widely dissimilar from that in which we are living. Recollections of the French Revolution, and of the excesses by which that event had been accompanied, were still fresh in the public mind. Nor had the passions and the prejudices, which the Revolution had evoked throughout the country, subsided to any material extent. The proclamation by the French Government of free and equal rights to all men had resulted only in making Englishmen cling as for their very life to the cause of monarchy and of social order. Liberty they loved as ardently as ever, but equality they suspected, and fraternity they abhorred. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
