Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paris in Its Splendour, Vol. 1 of 2 A capital is often described as the heart or brain of a country, and the metaphor in the case of Paris conveys more truth than such epigrams usually express. But Paris is also more emphatically than some other Euro pean capitals its countenance as well. Paris, like Lon don and Rome, is not only the political, commercial, social, and intellectual centre of France, but it is an epitome and reflection of the national life and an illus tration of the past history. In it, observes Mr. H. D. Trail], the genius and the temperament of the people Who built it and Who inhabit it are almost always re flected; it bears in many cases the indelible marks of their historic experiences and the unbroken chronicle of their growth; it is the enduring monument of their labours and achievements; here and there it may reveal to us, as by the lines of care on the faces of the aged, the sombre vestiges of their calamities and crimes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Paris, Vol. 1 of 2: Its Court and Literary Salons The seventeenth century, in its literary and social aspects, is regarded by French writers generally as the most brilliant period in the history of their nation. It has been termed "the epoch of the true greatness of France," - "the true Renaissance of literature and les beaux arts." It is indeed a period of very varied and romantic interest. Woman played an important part in it - contributing largely towards the reform then achieved in the French language, and in the corrupt and gross manners of the age, and introducing into the social relations of life that peculiar grace, fascinating ease, vivacity, and undefinable charm still vainly sought for in society out of France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stones of Paris, Vol. 1 of 2: In History and Letters It is easier, to-day, to put one's hand on the Paris of the sixteenth century than on that of the eighteenth century. In those remoter days changes were slow to come, and those older stones have been left often um touched. A curious instance of that aforetime leisureli ness is seen in the working of the ordonnance issued on May 14, 1554, by Henri II. For the clearing away of certain encroachments made on the streets by buildings and by business, notably on Rue de la Ferronerie; that street being one of those used for our way from our royal chateau of the Louvre to our chateau of the Tour nelles. It was fifty-six years later, to the very day, that the stabbing of Henri IV. Was made easy to Ravaillac, by the stoppage of the king's carriage in the blockade of that narrow street, its obstructions not yet swept out, in absolute disregard of the edict. From the death of the royal mason, Charles V., who gave a new face and a new figure to his Paris, to the coming of Henri IV.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Year of Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2: From a Journal Kept in Paris in 1848 The fact is, that surprising incidents followed each other in such rapid succession that even to myself, living upon the Spot, it seemed more like reading the heads of chapters only of some history within whose limits might be comprised the trans actions of many years. I have glanced at some of the reasons which make me think it of importance that the impressions, daily growing more shadowy and confused, of the wonderful chances and changes of the year 1848, should be revived for the correct appreciation of the recent past, and as a beacon whereby to shape our course for the future. Be lieving, therefore, that this is a task no longer to be neglected, I cannot conceal from myself that, from the personal as much as from the official position I then occupied, I had'peculiar facilities for collecting the materials for its impartial execution. For some time before, as well as for long after, the period which I would specially comprise in these Memoirs, I was a constant and most attentive observer of all that was passing in France.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paris, Vol. 2 On the afternoon of that same day such a keen desire for space and the open air came upon Guillaume, that Pierre consented to accompany him on a long walk in the Bois de Boulogne. The priest, upon returning from his interview with Monferrand, had informed his brother that the government once more wished to get rid of Nicholas Barthes. However, they were so perplexed as to how they should impart these tidings to the old man, that they resolved to postpone the matter until the evening. During their walk they might devise some means of breaking the news in a gentle way. As for the walk, this seemed to offer no danger; to all appearance Guillaume was in no wise threatened, so why should he continue hiding? Thus the brothers sallied forth and entered the Bois by the Sablons gate, which was the nearest to them. The last days of March had now come, and the trees were beginning to show some greenery, so soft and light, however, that one might have thought it was pale moss or delicate lace hanging between the stems and boughs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diary of a Citizen of Paris, Vol. 1 of 2: During 'the Terror' This does not pretend to be a history either of the Revolution or even of that period which, though so short, was yet so full of crime and anguish, and which will for ever bear the dread name of the Terror. The most that is attempted in these pages is to present to the world a phase of this lugubrious epoch in the form of a rough and simple sketch. I have read the greater part of the newspapers of the time, and have perused a considerable number of pamphlets; I have paid particular attention to bills and posters, and M. Gustave Bord was good enough to place at my disposal his collection of miscellaneous documents, made with great care and diligence. Living for months together amidst these witnesses of events long past, almost seemed to me that I had become their contemporary; that, like the 'awakened sleeper' of poor Cazotte - one of the first victims of the Terror - I, too, walked in the streets of the Paris of '93; that I frequented its public places; that, after a sitting of the Convention, I strolled into a cafe of the Maison Egalite; that I mingled with the crowd in the squares and the theaters, waiting my turn with the people in front of the bakers'-shops, following them sometimes with a heavy heart and swimming eyes as far as the Place de la Revolution or the barrier of the Trone Renverse, where the tumbrel came jolting along through midst of the hooting mob, and the heads fell to the cry of 'Vive la Republique!'
