Explore the insightful observations of Oliver Goldsmith in 'Works: The Citizen of the World. Polite Learning in Europe.' This collection presents a series of letters purportedly written by a Chinese philosopher, Lien Chi Altangi, as he journeys through 18th-century England. Goldsmith’s satirical wit shines as he critiques English society, customs, and manners through the eyes of an outsider. Alongside 'The Citizen of the World,' this volume includes additional essays and works that showcase Goldsmith’s breadth as a writer and thinker. Delve into topics ranging from literature and philosophy to social issues and the pursuit of knowledge. This edition, carefully curated by J. W. M. Gibbs and Henry George Bohn, offers a valuable glimpse into the intellectual landscape of the Enlightenment and Goldsmith’s enduring contribution to it.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
