Political Suicide: Or The Death Of England By Her Own Hands is a book written by Nimrod in 1831. This book is a political satire that criticizes the British government and its policies during the early 19th century. The author uses humor and irony to depict the social and political issues of the time, such as poverty, corruption, and the lack of representation for the working class. The book is written in the form of a fictional narrative, where England is personified as a woman who commits suicide due to the actions of her own government. The author uses this metaphor to highlight the destructive nature of the government’s policies and their impact on the country as a whole. Throughout the book, Nimrod also criticizes the political and social elites of England, who are portrayed as selfish and out of touch with the needs of the people. The author argues that the government’s policies are designed to benefit the wealthy at the expense of the poor and working-class citizens. Overall, Political Suicide: Or The Death Of England By Her Own Hands is a thought-provoking and satirical critique of the British government and society during the early 19th century. The book remains relevant today, as it raises important questions about the role of government in society and the need for social and economic justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
