The book is a reflection on the social and cultural norms of the 19th century and how they might be perceived by future generations. Hovenden explores the themes of excitement, hypocrisy, and idolatry in the context of the 19th century, drawing on examples from literature, politics, and religion. He argues that the excitement of the era was often superficial and misguided, leading to a culture of hypocrisy and idolatry that placed undue emphasis on material wealth and social status. The book is written in a philosophical and reflective style, with Hovenden using a mixture of prose and poetry to convey his ideas. He also includes fictional dialogues between characters from different historical periods, exploring how their perspectives on the 19th century might differ.Overall, A Tract of Future Times provides a thought-provoking analysis of the cultural and social norms of the 19th century, and how they might be viewed by future generations. It is a fascinating insight into the mindset of a 19th-century philosopher, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
