Book Description

Excerpt from The History of Poland, From Its Origin as a Nation to the Commencement of the Year 1795: To Which Is Prefixed an Accurate Account of the Geography and Government of That Country, and the Customs and Manners of Its Inhabitants Interesting as the affairs of Poland have been for some years past, it is a little remarkable that no Historical Account of that Country has been lately published, to enable Englishmen to trace the progress of its political state, and, by connecting causes and effects, to account for the phaenomena there recently exhibited. The Reverend and ingenious Mr. Coxe, in an account of his Travels, has given a sketch of the Polish Constitution, &c. which, though necessarily brief, is yet, perhaps, as far as it goes, more to be depended upon than the work of any other modern writer; but it does not profess to be a History.
