Although I had paid due homage to the solid glories of Flanders, and was of opinion with the ex* cellent author of many invaluable works upon agriculture, " that in estimating hu- man happiness, it is not a bad rule to sup- pose that where there is most show and splendour there is least enjoyment;" yet I was very sensible to the advantages of a temporary elevation, such as mine, in society, which gave me an opportunity, with the countenance, and under the protection of England's most valued cha...racter upon the continent, of beholding every thing inte- resting in Paris. Our books were now laid aside. The busy town was before us. Entering one of the Fauxbourgs, we passed through the triumphal arch erected, I think, for Louis the 14th, and shortly found ourselves at the 189 Hotel de Richelieu, which had been engaged for Mr. Fox. It was a striking fact, at our first opening our eyes in Paris, to find our- selves in the hotel of the ci-devant Marechat Due de Richelieu, one of the first and oldest peers of France, under the old regime.
