My Uncle Thomas, Vol. 1 of 2: A Romance (Classic Reprint) by Pigault-Lebrun Pigault-Lebrun (Paperback / softback, 2015)

Excerpt from My Uncle Thomas, Vol. 1 of 2: A Romance If the reader has t forsworn laughter, I am convinced the following work will irresistibly excite that pleasing emotion to its full extent: I shall, therefore, t think the time lost which may have the effect of producing a smile, and beguiling a few tedious hours of mortal existence. I have endeavoured to infuse the spirit of the original into this translation: the nature of my success must be left to the decision of others. All I have to add is, that the person who can peruse the History of My Uncle Thomas, without yielding to the impulse of mirth, must possess organs very differently constituted from mine. I introduce my adopted Uncle to the public with all his failings, and with all his virtues. Candour I need t bespeak - it is the characteristic of my countrymen.
