In Two Volumes, Octavo, Price 16s. Boards.

LETTERS FROM FRANCE; describing the Manners and Customs of its Inhabitants, with Observations on the Arts and Manufactures, Public Institutions and Buildings, Learned Societies, and the Mode of Travelling; interspersed with interesting Anecdotes of celebrated public Characters. By HENRY REDHEAD YORKE, ESQ.

"It has long been our wish that some person, who had known France previous to the Revolution, would undertake to describe it in its present state. Mr. Yorke has fully gratified that wish, and with his fund of previous knowledge, an acute and penetrating mind, an aptness of classical allusion, no small portion of humour, and very considerable talents, he could scarcely fail to produce a work, upon this subject, at once instructive, interesting, and amusing. These Letters are written in easy, perspicuous, and flowing language. Whether amusement or information be the object of the reader, they may be perused with advantage, for they contain a copious fund of both.”—Anti-Jacobin Review.
