Summary: "A Rough Sketch of Modern Paris" by J.G. Lemaistre is a collection of letters documenting society, manners, public curiosities, and amusements in Paris, written in the early 19th century. The work captures the author's observations and experiences as he navigates post-revolutionary France, exploring interactions in a city ripe for social change. Through his letters, Lemaistre provides insights into the contrasting classes within Parisian society and the vibrant life of the capital during this transitional period. At the start of the volume, Lemaistre describes his journey from England to Paris, detailing his impressions upon arrival. He recounts his travels, highlights the differences between English and French customs, and expresses his amazement at entering a city that had been embroiled in revolutionary turmoil. The opening letters mainly focus on his experiences with customs officials, the challenges of finding lodging, and the early impressions of the city's architecture and residents. He sets the stage for further exploration of the Parisian landscape, promising readers future insights into the city's rich cultural and social life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
