The King of the Mountains: Translated from the French

Excerpt from The King of the Mountains: Translated From the French

This is a brief summary of a few of the things which About said about the Greece of Otho, in his La Gréce Contemporaz'ne. The book is unde niably witty, but much of it is conceived in the spirit of the Society Journalist. M. About was particularly facetious under the solemn shade of the lion-gate of Mycenm. The lions reminded him of his early sketches in school note-books.
