'The renowned Bergami is now in Paris. His appearance is just suited to his character, and you would suppose that he was playing a part in a melo-drama. He is a huge fellow, with shaggy hair—immense whiskers and mustachios—large diamond ear-rings in his ears—a magnificent diamond broach in his shirt—superb diamond rings on the fingers of both hands—the key of a chamberlain attached to the back of his coat—a half dozen of orders upon his button holes—in fact a curiosity to see; and I am sure any showman would make a fortune by carrying him about the world to exhibit.'
