Bøger af Henry Bolingbroke

This 1932 book consists of numbers 6-8 from Henry Bolingbroke's Letters on the Study and Use of History. The letters provide an account of the events leading up to the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, justifying the Treaty whilst at the same time admitting to the inadequacy of some the terms.

Viscount Bolingbroke was one of the most creative political thinkers in eighteenth-century Britain. This volume includes some of his most important work, A Dissertation upon Parties, the letter, 'On the Spirit of Patriotism', and The Idea of the Patriot King, which influenced radicals in Britain as well as revolutionaries in both America and France.
