Sobre este artículo
Dublin: Printed by William Sleater, For P. Wogan..., et al, 1790. FIRST IRISH EDITION. 2 volumes. 12mo, 173 x 97 mms., pp. xii, 316; vi [vii - viii blank], 374 [348 blank], contemporary calf, red and olive morocco labels; very slight wear to binding, but generally a very good to fine set. Wendeborn (1742 - 1811) published Der Zustand des Staats, der Religion, der Gelehrsamkeit und der Kunst in Grossbritannien gegen das Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts in 1788. He came to live in Britain at the age of 25 and remained here for another 25 years. The Analytical Review was very pleased with the work: "The author of this valuable work has taken a patient, tranquil view of this island, which is as just as it is instructive.... In every page we meet the sober enlightened philosopher, the rational Christian, in a word the humane, intelligent man...." The European Magazine was just as enthusiastic: "In this performance we announce to the public a very valuable and curious work. It is the production of an ingenious and [a] learned foreigner...who has made a variety of just and acute remarks on the character, manners, and customs of its inhabitants, and on the general state of the kingdom."
