Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Colloquies On Society"" is a collection of essays written by the English poet and writer Robert Southey. The book is divided into four parts, each containing a series of dialogues between various characters discussing a range of social and political issues of the time. The topics covered include education, religion, government, poverty, and the role of women in society. Southey uses these dialogues to express his own opinions and beliefs, often advocating for conservative values and criticizing the liberal ideas of his contemporaries. The book was first published in 1829 and has since been regarded as a significant work of social commentary from the early 19th century.Sir Thomas More.--The same in kind, but greater in degree; or at least if not greater, or so general in extent, it was more directly felt. When that ruinous fashion prevailed in your age there were many resources for the class of people who were thus thrown out of their natural and proper place in the social system. Your fleets and armies at that time required as many hands as could be supplied; and women and children were consumed with proportionate rapidity by your manufactures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
