Description

""A View of the Danger and Folly of Being Public-Spirited, and Sincerely Loving One's Country"" is a book written by William Hamill in 1721. In this book, Hamill argues that being too committed to one's country and being overly public-spirited can lead to dangerous and foolish behavior. He suggests that patriotism and public-spiritedness can cause people to act irrationally and make decisions that are not in their best interest. Hamill also warns against blindly following political leaders and urges readers to think critically about their actions and beliefs. Overall, ""A View of the Danger and Folly of Being Public-Spirited, and Sincerely Loving One's Country"" is a thought-provoking critique of patriotism and nationalism in the early 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
