An Introduction to the History of the Principal Kingdoms and States of Europe

More about the book

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration, and rapidly growing technology, with expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. This collection spans the world as it was known to eighteenth-century historians and explorers, including a wealth of travel accounts and diaries, histories of nations from throughout the world, and maps and charts of a world that was still being discovered. Students of the War of American Independence will find fascinating accounts from the British side of the conflict.
