Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stones of Paris in History and Letters, Vol. 2 of 2 IN preceding chapters we have come upon the small beginnings of the Scholars' Quarter; we have had glimpses of the growth of the great mother Univer sity and of her progeny of out-lying colleges; and we have trodden, with their scholars and students, the' slope of the whole Latin Mountain, as it was named by Pantaleon, that nephew of Pope Urban IV who extolled the learning he had acquired here. Looking down from its crest, over the hill - side to the Seine, we have had under our eyes the mediaeval Pays Latin, filling up the space within its bounding wall, built by philippe-auguste and left untouched by Charles V.; we have seen that wall gradually obliterated through the ages, its gate-ways with their flanking towers first cut away, its fabric picked to pieces, stone by stone; while, beyond its line, we have watched the building up, early in the seventeenth century, of the Faubourg Saint - Germain, over the pré-aux-clercs, and in the fields beyond, and along the river - bank toward the west. In the centre of this new quarter the nobility of birth was soon intrenched behind its garden-walls, and in the centre of the old quarter the aristocracy of.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paris, Vol. 2 Pierre and Guillaume followed the Allee de Long champ as far as the road going from Madrid to the lakes. Then they took their way under the trees, alongside the little Longchamp rivulet. They wished to reach the lakes, pass round them, and return home by way of the Maillot gate. But so charming and peaceful was the deserted plantation through which they passed, that they yielded to a desire to sit down and taste the delight of resting amidst all the budding springtide around them. A fallen tree served them as a bench, and it was possible for them to fancy themselves far away from Paris, in the depths Of some real forest. It was, too, of a real forest that Guillaume began to think on thus emerging from his long, voluntary imprisonment. Ah! For the space; and for the health-bringing air which courses between that forest's branches, that forest of the world whichby right should be man's inalienable domain! How ever, the name of Barthes, the perpetual prisoner came back to Guillaume' s lips, and he sighed mourn fully. The thought that there should be even a single man whose liberty was thus ever assailed, sufficed to poison the pure atmosphere he breathed.
