JOURNEY TO CHINA 1: THE DISEMBARKATION. Each traveller who lands at a port in China is immediately conducted, like a wrong-doer, between two rows of inquisitive people to the passport office: hardly has he touched the soil of the Celestial Empire, than he becomes the prey of luggage-porters, hotel-boys, interpreters, messengers and other highwaymen authorised by the Chinese police

PROFILES 7: THE FREQUENTER OF FÉLIX'S SHOP: Paris is at once the centre of civilisation, of the fine arts and of small pies; the love of the galette is pushed to fanaticism. Pastry cooks abound here, and today Paris is perhaps the city in the world where most brioches are made

NEWS 99: IMPRESSIONS OF A JOURNEY BY A GREAT POET: “One of the curiosities of Frankfurt that will soon disappear, I fear, is the butcher's shop. it [sic] is impossible to see a more splendid pile of fresh flesh. The bloody butchers and pink butchers’ wives chat gracefully under garlands of legs of mutton. A red stream, its colour barely altered by two gushing fountains, runs and smokes in the middle of the street!” (The Rhine by Victor Hugo Volume 2 page 357)

Caricaturana 92: Sir, I despise the charlatanism of the poster, I despise the Puffs of the advertisement, I abhor everything which smells of the charalatan, the tumbler, the rope-dancer, and I limit myself to producing with all naivete and foolishness my merchandise. Read my catalogue! Scent of love, esteem and friendship, in phials from the Middle-Ages... Extract of the smile of infancy －Perfume of Adolphe's first steps－ Water of the peoples' alliance, for the handkerchief, with Beranger's song. Perfume of General Foy, a scent to strengthen the brain's fibre and to remind the French of their liberties and rights guaranteed by the constitutional charter. Surrounded by an oration given upon the tomb of the immortal deputy by one of his honourable colleagues. You see, it's impossible to be more simple

JOURNEY TO CHINA 9: A CHINESE DANCE.One is greatly mistaken if one believes the Chinese people to be giddy, joyful and the friend of pleasure: they are on the contrary serious and morose, since their greatest amusement consists in a type of lugubrious walking in which the men and women walk one in front of the other, or one beside the other, and seem to be saying among themselves: brother we should die! In order also to point to the philosophical intention behind this ceremony, the opposite of dancing, they call it: Counter-dancing

JOURNEY TO CHINA 16: THE MUSIC LESSON. The Chinese man of independent means likes to occupy his leisure by cultivating music: very willingly he takes lessons on the clarinet, the accordion or the hunting horn, and in spite of the contrary opinion of his unfortunate neighbours, persists in calling this an accomplishment!
