Reflections on the Rise and Fall of the Ancient Republics (häftad, eng)

In 1759, at the height of the Seven Year''s War, when Great Britain was suffering a series of military reversals, Montagu considered his country''s plight in an historical contect formed by the study of five ancient republics: Sparta, Athens, Thenes, Carthage and Rome. Montagu''s focus on the ancient republics gives his contribution a distinctive twist to the chorus of voices lamenting Britain''s decline, and his analysis exerted influence in three momentous eighteenth-century crises: the Seven Year''s War, the American War of Independence, and the French Revolution This is the first modern edition of Montagu''s work.
