Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Robert-Houdin, Ambassador, Author, and Conjuror, Vol. 1 of 2 In my humble capacity of translator of Robert Houdin´s life, I may be permitted to make one or two remarks, and answer in anticipation the objections which I feel confident will be raised. In the first place, I am perfectly well aware that this English copy of Houdin´s book will strike many of my readers as even more Gallicised than the original; but I beg to assure them I have produced this impression from malice prepense. It would have been a very easy task for me to have made the book thoroughly English; but I feel, had I done so, it would have been as flat as yesterday´s champagne.
