Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Paris by Sunlight and Gaslight: A Work Descriptive of the Mysteries and Miseries, the Virtues, the Vices, the Splendors, and the Crimes of the City of Paris
These things I saw with American eyes, and if the View I have given is not as thoroughly French as the lovers of the gay city could wish, this must be my reason for writing as I have; for Paris is not all beauty, all pleasure. It has some ugly defects, some hideous wrinkles, to which I could not shut my eyes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
