Dimensions are for one volume. The History of Helvetia is the History of Switzerland as perceived by Francis Hare-Naylor at the turn of the 18th century to 19th century. The History of Helvetia containing the rise and progress of the Federative Republics to the middle of the fifteenth century Switzerland officially the Swiss Confederation is a landlocked country at the confluence of Western Central and Southern Europe. It is a federal republic composed of 26 cantons with federal authorities based in Bern. Switzerland is bordered by Italy to the south France to the west Germany to the north and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. It is geographically divided among the Swiss Plateau the Alps and the Jura spanning a total area of 41285 km2 15940 sq mi and land area of 39997 km2 15443 sq mi. Although the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory the Swiss population of approximately 8.5 million is concentrated mostly on the plateau where the largest cities and economic centres are among them Zürich Geneva Basel and Lausanne. These cities are home to several offices of international organisations such as the WTO the WHO the ILO the seat of the International Olympic Committee the headquarters of FIFA the UN's second-largest office as well as the main building of the Bank for International Settlements. The main international airports of Switzerland are also located in these cities. The establishment of the Old Swiss Confederacy in the Late Middle Ages resulted from a series of military successes against Austria and Burgundy. Swiss independence from the Holy Roman Empire was formally recognised in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. The Federal Charter of 1291 is considered the founding document of Switzerland which is celebrated on Swiss National Day. Since the Reformation of the 16th century Switzerland has maintained a strong policy of armed neutrality; it has not fought an international war since 1815 and did not join the United Nations until 2002. Nevertheless it pursues an active foreign policy and is frequently involved in peace-building processes around the world. Switzerland is the birthplace of the Red Cross one of the world's oldest and best known humanitarian organisations. It is a founding member of the European Free Trade Association but notably not part of the European Union the European Economic Area or the Eurozone. However it participates in the Schengen Area and the European Single Market through bilateral treaties. Switzerland occupies the crossroads of Germanic and Romance Europe as reflected in its four main linguistic and cultural regions: German French Italian and Romansh. Although the majority of the population are German-speaking Swiss national identity is rooted in a common historical background shared values such as federalism and direct democracy as well as Alpine symbolism. Due to its linguistic diversity Switzerland is known by a variety of nativenames: Schweiz German; Suisse French; Svizzera Italian; and Svizra Romansh. On coins and stamps the Latin name Confoederatio Helvetica – frequently shortened to "Helvetia" – is used instead of the four national languages. A developed country it has the highest nominal wealth per adult and the eighth-highest per capita gross domestic product; it has been considered a tax haven. It ranks highly on some international metrics including economic competitiveness and human development. Its cities such as Zürich Geneva and Basel rank among the highest in the world in terms of quality of life albeit with some of the highest costs of living in the world. In 2020 IMD placed Switzerland first in attracting skilled workers. The WEF ranks it the fifth most competitive country globally.

Herstmonceux Castle is a brick-built castle dating from the 15th century near Herstmonceux East Sussex England. It is one of the oldest significant brick buildings still standing in England. The castle was renowned for being one of the first buildings to use that material in England and was built using bricks taken from the local clay by builders from Flanders. It dates from 1441.

Per Wikipedia "Richard Mervyn Hare 1919 - 2002 Usually Cited As R. M. Hare Was A British Moral Philosopher Who Held The Post Of White's Professor Of Moral Philosophy At The University Of Oxford From 1966 Until 1983. He Subsequently Taught For A Number Of Years At The University Of Florida. His Meta-Ethical Theories Were Influential During The Second Half Of The Twentieth Century. Hare Is Best Known For His Development Of Prescriptivism As A Meta-Ethical Theory Which He Argues Is Supported By Analysis Of Formal Features Of Moral Discourse And For His Defense Of Preference Utilitarianism Based On His Prescriptivism. In A Series Of Books Especially The Language Of Morals 1952 Freedom And Reason 1963 And Moral Thinking 1981 Hare Gave Shape To A Theory That He Called Universal Prescriptivism. According To This Moral Terms Such As 'Good' 'Ought' And 'Right' Have Two Logical Or Semantic Properties: Universalizability And Prescriptivity. By The Former He Meant That Moral Judgments Must Identify The Situation They Describe According To A Finite Set Of Universal Terms Excluding Proper Names But Not Definite Descriptions. By The Latter He Meant That Moral Agents Must Perform Those Acts They Consider Themselves To Have An Obligation To Perform Whenever They Are Physically And Psychologically Able To Do So. In Other Words He Argued That It Made No Sense For Someone To Say Sincerely: "I Ought To Do X" And Then Fail To Do X. Oxford / Clarendon Press hardcover
