Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Perils of Beauty, Vol. 3 of 3 France, after a ten years continuation of the most frivolous debates, had begun to think of railroads and steam engines, and Macintosh, having discovered a hole in the ground near Nantes, bethought him of buying the same for a trifling sum - calling it an iron and coal mine - raising shares - managing the concern, and, very shortly after enriching himself, leave the company to be buried in the grave of their own purchase. It was true that some coal and some iron was once got from this mine; but it was nearly exhausted, was half filled with water, and was not now working. No sooner, however, did the proprietor of this valuable property find that an Englishman was eager to buy it, than he began to raise, not the water, but the price. He had offered it, until he was tired of mentioning it, for one hundred thousand francs. Now he raised his price to two hundred and fifty thousand francs.
