About This Book

A series of travel letters composed after the 1801 preliminaries presents a descriptive tour of Parisian public life, covering palaces, museums, gardens, and notable antiquities alongside portraits of three social groups and domestic arrangements. The writer reports official ceremonies, legislative sessions, parades, and popular fêtes, and offers detailed visits to charitable and scientific institutions for the deaf, the blind, and a celebrated wild child. Theatre performances, balls, and salon conversation are described, together with practical remarks on lodging, roads, and everyday manners, yielding a practical, comparative portrait of early postwar urban society.

ERRATA.
