About the Book

- All The Forms, Both Of Nature And Society, Are Presented There On A Grander Scale Than In Other Regions. Its Empires Are More Vast, Its Capitals More Splendid, Its Population Greater Perhaps Than That Of All The Rest Of The World United. Its Palaces, Blazing With Gold And Gems, Seem To Eclipse All The Splendour That Shines In The Courts Of Europe.
