In 1782 an enthusiastic young German landed in England. Through the
fresh eyes of a foreigner we get a wonderful insight into what has
or hasn't changed within the last two hundred years. In a series of
letters home he describes his amazement at the number of English
people who wore spectacles, the amount they drank, the dreadful
food they ate, the expense of a simple salad, the drunkenness of
the dons, the riotous behaviour in Parliament, and the high level
of education among ordinary people.
