Two intriguing glimpses, both previously unpublished, into the history of a single family. George Cadogan Morgan's accounts of his travels in France at the very start of the French Revolution are a fascinating addition to our knowledge of that event; the autobiography of his son offers an equally compelling narrative of the hopes and disappointments of an immigrant from Britain trying to make a living in 19th-century America. Both are wonderfully readable, and have been expertly introduced by two outstanding scholars. Professor John Barrel, University of York
