birth or his death. “My intention,” 
{ays the anonymous author in his preface,

This is a kind of abridgment of the 
works of St. Foix, Dulaure, Mercier, &c. 
Une Fournée de Paris, &c. A Day’s 
Rambie through Paris, 18mo. This lit- 
tic work 1s in imitation of Sterne, bur has 
likewrfe origina) pi€tures. The author is 
rather inclined to place the new inftitu- 
tions in a ridiculous point of view; but, 
that ridicule is a teft of truth, isa maxim 
now completely exploded. Two of. the 
beft piétures are the eating-houfe, in which 
the charaéters are delineated on the-La- 
vaterian fyftem of phyfiognomy; and the 
chefs-room, prefenting a fingular delinea- 
tion of the enthufiafm and abftraétion of 
the devotees of that enchanting game.
