About this book
This volume combines The Paris Sketch Book and The Irish Sketch Book, by William Makepeace Thackeray. The contents list, under The Paris Sketch Book, names An Invasion of France, A Caution to Travellers, The Fêtes of July and On the French School of Painting, among others. The writer introduces Major British, his worthy friend, who is on half-pay and occupies a modest apartment in the very hotel which Pogson had patronised at the writer’s suggestion.
The text says it is clear that for a stranger the Irish ways are the pleasantest, for here he is at once made happy and at home, or at ease rather. The writer says nothing could be more delightful to witness than the evident affection which the children bore to one another and to their parents, and the cheerfulness and happiness of their family parties. The writer heard of a gentleman arriving from shipboard at Kilrush on a Sunday, when the pious hotel-keeper refused him admittance.
