Sir Thomas More, Or, Colloquies on the Progress and Prospects of Society
Written in the early 19th century by Robert Southey, 'Sir Thomas More, Or, Colloquies on the Progress and Prospects of Society' is a philosophical dialogue that features conversations between the narrator, Montesinos, and the ghost of Sir Thomas More.

“A part how small of the terraqueous globeIs tenanted by man! the rest a waste,Rocks, deserts, frozen seas and burning sands,Wild haunts of monsters, poisons, stings, and death.Such is earth’s melancholy map! But, farMore sad, this earth is a true map of man.””
— Robert Southey
