'Famous good Reading' (Tackeray)

SCOTT, John. A Visit to Paris in 1814; being a Review of the moral, political, intellectual and social Condition of the French Capital … Third Edition, Corrected, and with a new Preface referring to the Late Events [together with:] Paris Revisited, in 1815, by Way of Brussels: Including a Walk over the Field of Battle at Waterloo … Second Edition. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown. 1815 and 1816.

Two volumes, 8vo. Contemporary half-calf over marbled boards, spines with red lettering-pieces and ruled in gilt; pp. lxxv, 343; viii, 405; wear to extremities; light offsetting from endpapers, otherwise very good with contemporary ownership inscriptions Robert Bower to heads of title-pages.

The author and journalist Scott (1784-1821) was a friend or associate of many writers of his period, including Byron, Leigh Hunt, Hazlitt and Wordsworth, and edited a number of radical and liberal journals, including The Statesman, The Censor, and Drakard's Stamford News, and was also the owner of Drakard's Paper (later renamed The Champion). Following a trip to France in 1814, Scott wrote A Visit to Paris in 1814 (London: 1815), and the following year he returned, publishing the subsequent volume in 1816. Scott's lively reports from Paris attracted much praise and reached a fourth edition in the following year; the DNB records that "On Scott and these volumes Bishop Heber wrote in 1816: 'Who is Scott? What is his breeding and history? He is so decidedly the ablest of the weekly journalists, and has so much excelled his illustrious namesake [who was also an admirer] as a French tourist, that I feel considerable curiosity about him'" (Life, i. 432). Thackeray described these books as "famous good reading" (The Newcomes, ch. XXII.). Wordsworth wrote of the second of them, "Every one of your words tells". One particularly interesting part of the second work is chapter X (Stripping of the Louvre), which considers the question of the works of art, scientific collections, and books and manuscripts seized by Napoleon and sent back to France, and the ethical issues surrounding their ownership and the problems of restitution (the chapter includes tables listing various objects plundered by the French and subsequently lost).

Amazing!
Color: Midnight Green
The Hamile Keyboard Case for iPad (11th & 10th Generation) is a practical accessory for turning your iPad into a more laptop-like setup. Designed with a detachable wireless keyboard and protective case, it’s aimed at students, professionals, and anyone who types frequently on their tablet. One of its most appealing features is the 7-color backlit keyboard, which makes typing easier in low-light environments while also adding a customizable, stylish look. The backlighting can usually be adjusted in brightness and color, making it both functional and fun to use. The keys are generally responsive and comfortable enough for everyday typing tasks like emails, notes, and document work. The case itself provides decent protection for the iPad, helping guard against scratches and minor bumps. It also holds the tablet at a stable viewing angle, which is useful for video calls, studying, or streaming. The wireless connection is typically simple to set up via Bluetooth, and the keyboard can be detached when not needed.

Great quality case, keyboard doesn’t work as intended
Color: Dark Cherry
Case is fine and good quality but the keyboard doesn’t work as intended. Bluetooth connects great but the keyboard is formatted incorrectly. For example, when I try to use a dash, it puts an apostrophe instead. I have no idea how to reformat it myself. I’d love just a replacement keyboard
