Abbes and Parisian wit shape social life and manners
A long discourse discusses the Abbes as a numerous, learned class shaping literature and culture in colleges and private circles. It notes their devotion to the fair sex, their witty, lively manners, and how French ladies prize charm and passport-like gaiety. The piece contrasts English sincerity with French sociability and ends with a local notice about Hoxton field access being blocked by workmen on Aug. 11.
