4, ENGLISH FASHIONABLES ABROAD. In 3 vols. post 8vo. 1l. 11s. 6d.
“In the article of young ladies, unlike all other national manufactures, our exports considerably exceed our imports. Gentlemen may travel to study laws and politics, artists may travel to improve themselves, but few girls leave their home, except on speculation.”—Introduction.
This text is amusingly illustrated and exemplified by the author of this work, who has given some sketches of speculating aunts, flirting daughters, and manœuvring mothers, that will startle some of our fashionable Anglo-Italians.
