Letters Concerning the English Nation is a series of essays written by Voltaire based on his experiences living in England between 1726 and 1729. The volume was first published in English in 1733 and then in French the following year, where it was seen as an attack on the French system of government and was rapidly suppressed. Most modern English-language versions are based on a translation of the French text rather than Voltaire's English one.
