| 1822 | Europe: or, A General Survey of the Present Situation of the Principle. An overview of European politics since the fall of Napoleon. It is most notable for its effort to determine the political trends and events that led to the birth of America. Everett was a Boston diplomat who served in Russia, Holland, and Spain between 1809 and 1829. |
| 1827 | America; or, A General Survey of the Political Situation of the Several Powers of the Western Continent, with Conjectures on Their Future Prospects. This well-received work lucidly contemplates the political role of the United States and would be translated into several languages. Conservative in spirit, it shows disdain for radical experiments in ideas such as gender equality but defies expectations by criticizing slavery. |
