"A View of Society and Manners in France, Switzerland, and Germany, Vol. 2" by John Moore is a travelogue written in the late 18th century. The work captures the author's observations and reflections regarding social customs, manners, and notable characters encountered in various European countries. The author travels through these regions while engaging in conversations that provide insights into national characteristics and behaviors. The opening of the second volume begins with the author recounting a conversation with a foreign man of letters in Frankfort. This individual praises the English nation's qualities, expressing admiration for their history, literature, and advancements in various fields. The author counters by discussing the potential biases in judgments formed from limited interactions with a few English travelers, emphasizing the need for deeper understanding based on prolonged exposure to a culture. This exchange sets the tone for Moore's explorations of societal behaviors and manners as he travels through Germany, ultimately leading into intriguing observations about French and German cultures, hospitality in inns, and unique local customs.
