Publisher's Synopsis

The Citizen of the World V1 is a collection of letters written by a fictional Chinese philosopher who is residing in London and corresponding with his friend in the East. The book was originally published in 1762 and was written by Oliver Goldsmith, an Irish writer and poet. The letters are written in the form of social commentary and satire, and they touch on a variety of topics including politics, society, and culture. The letters provide a unique perspective on life in London during the 18th century and offer insights into the cultural differences between China and England. The book is considered a classic of English literature and is still widely read and studied today. This edition, published in 1794, is the first volume of the complete collection of letters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
