Here, in this little-read collection of letters from his travels, Cooper shares his wry insights on life as an American abroad for readers back home.

London pickpockets . horse-racing in Paris . ladies in coffee-houses . diplomatic etiquette . English prejudice against Americans . the gardens of Versailles . on being presented at foreign courts . Continental manners . and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47585376272535,"sku":"9781602068131","price":1693.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781602068131.webp?v=1774960092","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/recollections-of-europe-9781602068131","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
