Reviews

Morning Advertiser (May 30, 1827): 2.

Some of the Papers enlarge with extacy [sic] on a grand dinner given by Mr. Rothschild to some fashionable individuals on Monday, at his mansion in Piccadilly. This was a very good thing for the company, but we cannot possibly conceive what interest the public can have in the luxurious eating and drinking of Mr. Rothschild and his guests.

In May, 1827, a dinner was given to the distinguished foreigner by his countrymen, Mr. Rothschild—

‘A concert,’ he says, ‘succeeded the dinner, at which Mr. Moscheles played as enchantingly as his wife looked.’
