General Introduction 
 
The Pleasures of Romance are sampled by this foursome as they linger after dinner to enjoy with studied amusement, the reading aloud of a love letter.  Such entertainments were as much a part of Court life as balls or theatricals.

This painting by Pietro Longhi shows a bourgeois family taking a lesson in geography--one of many signs of the age's expanding intellectual horizons.
