Letters Concerning the English Nation
by Voltaire
Lettres anglaises is a series of essays written by Voltaire based on his experiences living in England between 1722 and 1734. It was first published under the name Lettres philosophiques in 1734. In 1778, Voltaire, who was fluent in English, rewrote and published the work as Letters on the English. However, most modern English versions are based on a translation of the French text rather than Voltaire's English one.
