PREFACE, 



The contents of the following pages were chiefly extracted 

 from a Journal of events kept by the author during a 

 residence in Britanny. 



On his return to England this Journal was perused by a 

 few friends, and at their desire he was induced to present 

 parts of it for publication. 



There is nothing of surpassing interest in the facts given, 

 nor anything of novelty in the sentiments expressed ; 

 nevertheless, the Author felt pleasure in them at the tim^, 

 and hopes his readers may feel the same now.
