Sir William Temple (1628 99) was a renowned English diplomat and
author, his written works for the most part consisting of short
essays. Originally published in 1673, and first published as this
Cambridge edition in 1932, the Observations upon the United
Provinces of the Netherlands is an ambitious collection covering a
diverse range of topics relating to the area. Views are provided on
politics, economics and history, together with geology, human
character and medicine. The detail and scope of the text confirmed
Temple's position as the foremost English authority on Dutch
culture. This is a fascinating book that will be of value to anyone
with an interest in historiography, historical geography and
European history.
