Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Summer in Brittany, Vol. 1 of 2
When, therefore, I determined to attempt a description of the country which had so much interested me, I allowed myself what then appeared to me the ample space of two octavo volumes, in the hope of being able to present to my reader a full-length portrait of the Breton peasant, in all his different varie ties, and marked by all those peculiarities of habits, manners, modes of thinking, dress, &c., which distinguish him from the peasants of any other race.
