The second edition of this historical work by travel writer and MP Edward Wortley Montagu Junior on the ancient republics of Sparta, Athens, Thebes, Carthage, and Rome, with reflections also on the British constitution.

Montagu (1713-1776) was the son of his namesake-father, the British MP and diplomat Edward Wortley Montagu, and his wife, the aristocratic writer Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, who is chiefly remembered today for her Turkish Embassy Letters. The younger Montagu accompanied his parents to Constantinople in 1716, and was the first Englishman to be inoculated for smallpox.
