FROM THE TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE:
A series of adventures wilder and more fantastic than the wildest ofromances, written down with the exactitude of a business diary; a viewof men and cities from Naples to Berlin, from Madrid and London toConstantinople and St. Petersburg; the 'vie intime' of the eighteenthcentury depicted by a man, who to-day sat with cardinals and salutedcrowned heads, and to morrow lurked in dens of profligacy and crime;a book of confessions penned without reticence and without penitence;a record of forty years of "occult" charlatanism; a collection of talesof successful imposture, of 'bonnes fortunes', of marvellous escapes,of transcendent audacity, told with the humour of Smollett and thedelicate wit of Voltaire. Who is there interested in men and letters,and in the life of the past, who would not cry, "Where can such a bookas this be found?"
