'Famous good Reading' (Tackeray)

SCOTT, John. A Visit to Paris in 1814; being a Review of the moral, political, intellectual and social Condition of the French Capital … Third Edition, Corrected, and with a new Preface referring to the Late Events [together with:] Paris Revisited, in 1815, by Way of Brussels: Including a Walk over the Field of Battle at Waterloo … Second Edition. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown. 1815 and 1816.

Two volumes, 8vo. Contemporary half-calf over marbled boards, spines with red lettering-pieces and ruled in gilt; pp. lxxv, 343; viii, 405; wear to extremities; light offsetting from endpapers, otherwise very good with contemporary ownership inscriptions Robert Bower to heads of title-pages.

The author and journalist Scott (1784-1821) was a friend or associate of many writers of his period, including Byron, Leigh Hunt, Hazlitt and Wordsworth, and edited a number of radical and liberal journals, including The Statesman, The Censor, and Drakard's Stamford News, and was also the owner of Drakard's Paper (later renamed The Champion). Following a trip to France in 1814, Scott wrote A Visit to Paris in 1814 (London: 1815), and the following year he returned, publishing the subsequent volume in 1816. Scott's lively reports from Paris attracted much praise and reached a fourth edition in the following year; the DNB records that "On Scott and these volumes Bishop Heber wrote in 1816: 'Who is Scott? What is his breeding and history? He is so decidedly the ablest of the weekly journalists, and has so much excelled his illustrious namesake [who was also an admirer] as a French tourist, that I feel considerable curiosity about him'" (Life, i. 432). Thackeray described these books as "famous good reading" (The Newcomes, ch. XXII.). Wordsworth wrote of the second of them, "Every one of your words tells". One particularly interesting part of the second work is chapter X (Stripping of the Louvre), which considers the question of the works of art, scientific collections, and books and manuscripts seized by Napoleon and sent back to France, and the ethical issues surrounding their ownership and the problems of restitution (the chapter includes tables listing various objects plundered by the French and subsequently lost).

Great product
Color: Rechargeable with Storage Box - Black
It’s great! Very powerful, even on low speed. Mixes fiber, and powdered mix-ins very well as well as frothing milk. Nice sturdy little case to keep the components in. Stays charged for a long time.

Best Hand-Held Frother EVER
Color: Rechargeable with Storage Stand and Box - Black
I have had many hand-held frothers over the years; hand-held as well as counter top. None of them have really given me the froth that I want which is dense foam to the point that it almost forms "peaks" and needs to be spooned into my coffee. Additionally, the one that I always went back to (hand-held) only lasted for 3-6 months at best before breaking and sometimes it lasted only a few weeks. Additionally, it drained batteries to the point they needed to be replaced every 2-3 weeks. The Circle Joy DOES make thick, dense froth (I use very cold skim milk on the high speed), has 3 speeds and is rechargeable so no more battery issues. Once I froth the milk, I pop it in the microwave for 40 seconds or so to heat/warm it up. It also comes with an attachment for beating eggs as well as an attachment for stirring in protein powders. I don't need the egg beater and I use the low speed to mix in chocolate collagen powder. I just got this frother so reliability is yet to be proven but I figure at $20.00 even if it needs to be replaced every six months ... it is still a winner.

Works well, worth buying.
Color: Rechargeable with Storage Stand and Box - Black
Works really well. I wish the attachments were easier to get off without feeling like you are going to break them. I use a butter knife to pry it off carefully. I like having the case too, it works well if you need to travel with it.
