Nathaniel Wraxall (1751 1831) worked for the East India Company
before becoming an MP in 1780. He travelled extensively in Europe
and moved in royal and diplomatic circles, collecting anecdotes
which later made their way into several popular travel narratives
and memoirs that were to bring him great fame. In this work,
published in two volumes in 1799 and using an epistolary form,
Wraxall gives his impressions of a number of European courts that
he visited in the late 1770s. Volume 2 describes Poland as a
country in decline, and discusses the historical background to its
present condition. He also provides anecdotes of the court and
people of Vienna, and especially of the Habsburg monarchs Maria
Theresa and Joseph II.
