Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
To M, at Parts, January 15, 1864. Do you know anything more disagreeable than an entracte? You sit uneasily in your chair and stretch your limbs and yawn discreetly. Your eyes ache ;wandering about the house, they fix themselves for the hundredth time on the jaded features of the musicians: on the first violinist showing himself off, on the clarionette player taking breath, and on the patient basso resembling a hack horse resting after a relay. You turn round to the boxes, and over snowy shoulders perceive a big black spot, an enormous lorgnette, which like a huge proboscis seems to conceal the face behind it. A thick deleterious atmosphere hangs over the crowded parterre and orchestra ;through the cloud of illuminated dust you detect a multitude of uneasy faces grimacing and smiling hypocritically; bad humour reveals itself beneath politeness and de - corum. You buy a newspaper and find it stupid. About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.
