1825biblio267<p>This is an extremely rare copy of volume 2 of Mudie's biting observations and reportage of the British social scene in 1825. The book is very old in private hands all this time and therefore remarkable for its decent condition---nay for its existence at all! Agree with his many opinions or not Mudie was an amazing self-directed man of many talents---not just opinions having taught Gaelic written for and edited newspapers novels polemics Natural History he was a bird watcher and a respected writer and master of many other fields.
