From the original translation by Sarah Austin, edited with an introduction by E.M. Butler. Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871) was a German aristocrat, landscape designer, and travel writer. In this work he offers a vivid and detailed view of British society, culture, and landscapes during the late Regency period. His observations are witty and critical, providing valuable insight into the values, eccentricities, and politics of Britain in the 1820s.
