Description
|
|
|
|
In August 1818, the Napoleonic Wars had ended, King George III was on his deathbed, and this little book was published by "Mr. Collins," an unknown publisher, who took upon himself the unenviable task of presenting to the public of Britain the unvarnished truth about its past rulers. Veering from affectionate ridicule to idealized adoration, Mr. Collins offers this refreshingly irreverent overview—with colored engravings and succinct assessments—that ranges from Caesar, Emperor of Rome, to George, Prince of Wales, the future king.
