Peter P.J. Kean To Julian Niemcewicz, July 22, 1805, Peter P.J. Kean

Since Peter wrote Julian last, he began reading Hume’s England (History of England by David Hume), particularly the part that treats the House of Stuart. The fanaticism that was displayed by the English during that period, their blind love of liberty, and their persecution of the …
