Product Description: from the jacket..."Restif's jottings open a new layer of historical evidence and are of immense value to the social historian. He is the historian of the intimate and the personal rather than of the collective and the general, and his sketches reveal the individual in bed, in his family, at play, drunk, in the pursuit of vice,etc. He writes with artistry and simplicity of the sprawling, dirty city, noisy with the curses of its three-quarters of a million unruly, disrespectful and brutal inhabitants; many of his brief sketches are poems to urban delight; but, beyond this, his record of nightly wanderings issues into an extraordinary man-in-the-street account of the French Revolution."
