Excerpt from The Devil Upon Two Sticks in England, Vol. 4 of 6: Being a Continuation of Le Diable Boiteux of Le Sage
Your power, my most admirable friend, said the Count, is, not more evident in the scenes you display, than your superior judgment in the happy, contrasted succes sion of them. Variety, replied the Demon, is the soul of such an excursion as ours; and I am about to add to it, by taking you again from living objects; but it will be to a very fine series of their painted resemblances.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to the scintillating world of 18th century London, as seen through the eyes of a Spanish grandee.
