Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mildred Vernon, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale of Parisian Life in the Last Days of the Monarchy Let no one imagine that, because the following pages profess to treat of "Paris in the nineteenth century," the lines I have chosen for my epigraph are addressed to the French nation. They are not so, and are meant to be taken precisely in the sense given to them by their illustrious author. The morality or immorality of our continental neighbours, is but of small consequence to us; but of great import is it that we should know them better and judge of them more justly. All our faults come from our ignorance, and from our profound contempt of every thing "foreign." The travellers of every other nation seek, in the study of each different race, to decypher a fresh page of that endless volume, called the human heart; the English, on the contrary, travel to see sights, or rather, to have seen them.
