A fifteen days' tour to Paris, containing [...] the origin and progress of the present revolution [...]. By an English gentleman of veracity, just returned.

Notes

Partial re-edition of the 1780 translation of Remarques historiques et anecdotes sur le château de la Bastille. Only the first half, with the description of the castle, is included. It is annexed (p. 79-105) to a travel account of Paris in 1789 which, although not radical, displays sympathy with the French uprising against oppression.
