Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Victims of Society, Vol. 2 of 3 You possess both in a pre-eminent degree; which you must not be offended if I attribute to your long residence in France, where they are indigenous: while in your island they are exotics, that rarely flourish, and still more rarely are successfully exhibited. Chez vous, ma chère, notre esprit, when imported, is like our fashions, which are so clumsily adopted, but not adapted, that they disfigure, rather than embellish, your compatriots. Witness the bedizened English ladies, whose laborious exertions to appear well dressed, and still more laborious efforts to shine in conversation, in the spirituelles réunions in our gay capital, have afforded, and still afford, us so much amusement.
