Excerpt from Les Anglais Chez Eux: Suivi de Hogarth Et Ses Amis ou Londres au Siècle Passé
Le soleil est couché depuis cinq heures et le temps est si clair qu'on limit aisément les papiers publics. Décidément, Monsieur, nous n'aurons pas de nuit, phénomène que j'ai plus d'une fois observé à la pleine lune dans les mers du Sud... aux environs de Marseille.

Exploring 19th-century England through the eyes of a bourgeoisie on holiday, the author explores the heart of the country's complex social and cultural fabric.
