Excerpt from The Deputy of ArcisBefore beginning to describe an election in the provinces, it is proper to state that the town of Arcis sur-aube was not the theatre of the events here related.The arrondissement of Arcis votes at bar-sur-anbe, which is forty miles from Arcis, consequently there is no deputy from Arcis in the Chamber.Discretion, quired in a history of contemporaneous manners and morals, dictates this precautionary word. It is rather an ingenious contrivance to make the description of one town the frame for events which happened in another, and several times already in the course of the Comedy of Human Life, this means has been employed in spite of its disadvantages, which consist chie¿y in making the frame of as much impor tance as the canvas.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
