Bookseller Notes

A lively and opinionated cultural tour of the low countries, concluding with a critique of the government of the day, and a postcript: 'They have now got a step further, and chosen a king - may they long keep him, and treat him better than they did their first one! - But he, too, is a Protestant, and on that account alone, he will have a difficult card to play.'One of Murray's Family Library series of non-fiction works, issued between 1829 and 1834, and edited by John Gibson Lockhart.
