12C (Vol. 2)

Transcription

The earnestness and interest which are expressed by all ranks of people in this country, on the subject of the French Revolution, best evinces how strong the principle of liberty Is implanted in the breasts of Englishmen.

ASTLEY’s journey to Paris promises to pay him well.—The Grimacier is perhaps the most surprising fellow ever seen—Les Tours du Chapeau, and the amazing command of his body in comic attitudes, favours the exercises of his hat so well, that the whole house is kept in one continual roar for near 20 minutes.—The Man in Miniature is very amusing; as is also the beautiful Woman with the head of hair measuring nine feet. In short, the above three curiosities are an exhibition of themselves.—Astley has judiciously arranged them so as to fill up the intervals of the performances. The Paris Jubilee, or Confederation, from its being given in so exact a manner, pleases much, particularly since the long processions have been omitted.
