AUSTRIA - NARRATIVE OF TRAVELS - PETER EVAN TUR...

In the various countries wherein I have happened to be a temporary resident  I have felt great
interest in the acquisition of such knowledge as might be within my reach  with respect to the
genius and the effects of their established institutions. Without the slightest idea of
publication  I continued the same line of inquiry during my stay in the Austrian dominions.
Circumstances of a peculiar nature favoured my pursuit  and  on my last return to England  I
found myself possessed of much information  tending to elucidate a variety of points hitherto 
as it appeared to me  very imperfectly understood  and leading also to views  both as to the
government and the people  materially different from those which I had myself  in common
probably with most of my countrymen  previously entertained. The second volume comprises the
notices on the social and political condition of the empire  arranged with reference to its
various most important elements  - religion  education  morality  jurisprudence  feudal and
municipal institutions  civil and military administrations  and domestic and foreign policy.
[...] This book is a reprint of the original published work from 1840.
