This volume contains selections from Heads of the People, a
two-volume set (published in 1840) that portrays "the many faces of
the English with their faults as well as their virtues." Detailed
essays introduce the reader to an old squire, a young squire, an
English peasant, a farmer's daughter, and a farmer. These character
sketches, that reflect the values of their times, along with
glimpses of daily life (including vivid descriptions of everything
from attire to carriages), are presented in an entertaining
narrative style that keeps the pages turning. The chapters
reproduced in this volume provide a fascinating view of the changes
taking place in society at this time. Most of the English
population still consisted of country-dwellers, rather than
town-dwellers, at the time these chapters were written. Charming
period illustrations enhance the text.
