Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Farington Diary, Vol. 6: January 13, 1810, to June 9, 1811

Serjeant George Heath, a son of James Heath, the famous engraver, went to Paris in the autumn of 1810 with sentiments favourable to Buonaparte, but came back with a wholly different Opinion of him. The effect of his tyranny was great beyond all former example. He was universally detested and nothing preserved him but the dread of another revolution. When he went to the opera or to the playhouse, the mass of the people were quite silent, although a small claque in a corner made a slight clamour of applause. He was a little fat man, with what is called a pot - belly, - with a sallow, greasy - looking countenance like that of a butcher.
