Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine, Vol. 17: January to June, 1842 Jan. 24. Looked into Mrs. Stothard's Tour in Normandy. By not pursuing my designed route on my return in my last tour, I seem to have avoided wretched roads, miserable accommodation, and a brutal race of inhabitants, as distinguished from the French nearly as the Welch from the English, but far more rude, and without their interesting peculiarities and traditions. The country, however, I suspect to be sylvan, wild, and delightful, though her praise of the scenery near Tours damps one's con fidence in her taste for the picturesque. I am glad she considers the celebration of high mass at the cathedral of Amiens as the most impres sive display of that ceremonial, in the finest gothic structure in France, and far exceeding its exhibition at Notre Dame at Paris. Her character of French manners seems perfectly just a Frenchman, with all his po liteness, she truly observes, is naturally coarse; and I quite agree with her, when she says France is very well to be visited, but this is the country to live in.
