Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Diary of a D�sennuy�e, Vol. 2 of 2
Expansion - still expansion One wide, vast plain (with the exception of the monticule at Cas sel) from Calais to Lille; fertile, well cultivated much ?ax, now cut and drying; much tobacco, with its rich broad leaf; and long avenues of lofty abele trees shading the road. A hard featured but healthy-looking peasantry; their bright and many-coloured garments cleaner than their hands and faces, just as our cotters are clean in their persons, and dirty and tattered in their attire.
