Vijftien dagen te Londen, op het einde van 1815.

A French traveler spends about two weeks in London and records a series of lively, often humorous vignettes about arrival formalities, urban life, and English customs. The account moves from ports and city streets to theaters, coffeehouses, the British Museum, markets and the Tower, touching on funerals, public entertainments, boxing, cleanliness, newspapers, caricatures, crime and social manners. Descriptive sketches alternate with anecdotal episodes concerning artists, an unexpected meeting and a Latin performance, producing a curious, satirical portrait of daily routines and institutions as observed by a foreign visitor.
