Life of Henriette Sontag, Countess de Rossi. - with Interesting Sketches by Scudo, Hector Berlioz, Louis Boerne, Adolphe Adam, Marie Aycard, Julie de Margueritte, Prince Puckler-Muskau & Theophile Gautier.

"NEW-YORK LIFE, by a New-Yorker, clever, sparkling, and life-like. A set of daguerreotypes, in which figure the drawing-rooms of the Avenue and Union Placethe most noted salons of the townthe butterfly crowds of the watering-places, and pre-eminentlythe Course. The hero of the book, a modern fast young man, who has in a measure outgrown his fastness, and looks patronizingly on the aspiring efforts of a very young New-Yorker, cicerones you about, showing up the lions of town and country, and all with a cool blase sort of air that is wondrously telling. With a stroke of the pen he annihilates the huge pretensions of some parvenu or bestows the final stab on the waning virtue of some dashing belle. In the same moment giving a pithy rationale of American Society, and the best recipe for concocting a sherry cobbler; discussing, in the same breath, the popular theology of the town, and the winning pacer on the Long Island course. Throughout, quietly satirical yet seldom exaggerated. Looking at American life and manners from no distant point, but as one who has been in, and of, and through it all, pausing now and then to take down a jotting here, put in a bit of shadow there, making more of life than 'John Timon;' not mere squints through a Lorgnette, but broad, steady stares with the naked eye, with now and then the help of a quizzing-glass."New-York Evening Mirror. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
