Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Rouen HE story of a town must differ from the history of a nation in that it is concerned not with large issues but with familiar and domestic details. A nation has no individuality. No single phrase can fairly sum up the characteristics of a people. But a town is like one face picked out of a crowd, a face that shows not merely the experience of our human span, but the traces of centuries that go backward into unrecorded time. In all this slow development a character that is individual and inseparable is gradually formed. That character never fades. It is to be found first in the geographical laws of permanent or slowly changed surroundings, and secondly in the outward aspect of the dwellings built by man, for his personal comfort or for the good of the material com munity, or for his spiritual needs.

Download or read book Journal of the Siege of Rouen 1591 Classic Reprint written by Thomas Coningsby and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Siege of Rouen, 1591 The present fragment, though belonging to the history of another country, claims the attention of the Camden Society, not merely from having been written by an Englishman, but also because it relates principally to the services of an army of English auxiliaries. The narrative does not include the whole period of their campaign, but it supplies an account of the greater part of it. It appears to have been written in the form of letters, which were despatched to some friend at a distance, and afterwards transcribed in a consecutive form. Commencing on the 13th of Aug. 1591, when the earl of Essex, the English general, was still near Dieppe, the port at which he landed, it proceeds day by day to the 6th of September. It is then suspended until the 3rd of the following month; when it is resumed, and thenceforward continued to the 24th of December, at which period it was again closed, in order to be transmitted to the friend for whose information it had been written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Churches of Rouen The descriptive chapters of this little book are the result of personal observations made during a visit to Rouen in May 1900, undertaken for the purpose of examining and photographing the chief churches of the city. While thus employed I made use of sundry guide-books, French and English, and collected all the information I could from vergers and others connected with the churches. The scaffolding which at that time covered the west front of the Cathedral rendered it impossible for me to examine this part of the church; any description, moreover, that I could have given would have been of little value in pointing out features to be studied, as many, when the scaffolding is removed on the completion of the restoration, will have been altered, if they have not entirely vanished. The west front of St. Maclou was also undergoing some repairs, and owing to the overhead wires of the tramways it is no longer possible to get a satisfactory general photographic view of St. Ouen from the N.W., so that in three cases the blocks illustrating the book have been made from photographs taken some time ago; all the rest are from my own negatives taken in 1900. I obtained much historical information from a book published in 1847, entitled Album Rouennais, illustrated by lithographs and written by Charles Richard, Keeper of the Municipal Archives and permanent Secretary of the Royal Academy of Rouen; also from a charming and picturesquely written book, the Story of Rouen in the "Mediaeval Towns" series by Theodore Andrea Cook, published in 1899. My thanks are due to Canon Barrie for permission kindly granted to photograph the interior of the Cathedral, and to M. Edouard Julien, the intelligent sacristan of St. Ouen (well known to most visitors to Rouen), who obtained for me a like permission from the Cure of his church.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wanderings by the Seine: From Rouen to the Source For a short period in summer, it is possible to travel from Rouen to Paris by a passage steam - boat on the Seine: the voyage, however, is long, and not always pleasant. Our eyes, accustomed to the magnificent panorama presented by the lower part of the river, become discontented even with beauty itself the towns, villages, and castles, flit past us like shadows, and carry away with them, like shadows, their historical associations; till, by the time we reach our destination, we heartily regret having forsaken the moral world of the past and present, for the cold, dead face of external nature.

This book was released on 2018-07-14 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rouen, It's History and Monuments A Guide to Strangers by Theodore Licquet Cæsar, in his Commentaries does not speak of Rouen; Pomponius Mela, does not mention it in his Geography; Ptolemy is the first author who has noticed it. This observation alone will shew the absurdity of the numerous etymologies assigned to its name of Rothomagus, of which we have made Rouen. The least unlikely are those which have been taken from the primitive language of the country; but, even then we can only form conjectures more or less vague, as, in deriving Rothomagus from two celtic words, some have considered that this name signifies a great town; others, a town on the bank of a river; while others again a town where duties were paid. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Download or read book Rouen Classic Reprint written by Camille Enlart and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-07 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rouen C'est, malheureusement, tout le contraire qui s'est produit. Au debut du XIXe siecle, le passe, a Rouen, genait le present et l'avenir: obligee pendant des siecles de se developper dans une enceinte trop etroite, la ville avait retreci ses rues au dernier point; a leurs extremites subsistaient des etranglements crees autrefois dans un but de defense, mais nulle autre cite ne pouvait alors se vanter de conserver autant de souvenirs anciens et precieux. A l'heure actuelle, Rouen est traverse en tous sens par de grandes arteres que parcourt un reseau de tramways electriques et que bordent des boutiques a grandes glaces; les enseignes hors d'echelle et les trolleys enlaidissent presque toutes ses rues; Rouen a autant de musees, d'ecoles, de statues, de theatres, de cafes concerts que toute autre grande ville, et ces floraisons de la civilisation actuelle y sont identiques d'aspect a ce qu'elles sont dans le monde entier: Rouen pourra devenir la ville la plus banale du monde et il semblerait, a voir l'entrain qu'ils apportent a moderniser, que ce soit la l'ideal de beaucoup de ses habitants. S'il est vrai que des travaux d'assainissement et de viabilite s'imposaient, et que les vieilles maisons avaient souvent besoin d'etre adaptees a la vie moderne, il faut, d'autre part, avouer que les ediles du dernier demi-siecle et la majorite des particuliers ont transforme sans aucune discretion et meme avec une remarquable lourdeur de main. Rouen a, par bonheur, un site qui mettra longtemps a perdre son charme, s'il le perd jamais. Ses tresors d'art s'encadrent dans un gracieux paysage: la ville occupe un palier en pente douce entre la Seine et un amphitheatre de collines crayeuses dont les flancs, d'un jaune clair lumineux, se parent de larges bouquets de verdure. Vues des rives de la Seine, ces collines forment un fond qui se marie d'une facon charmante avec l'ondulation grise des toits d'ardoise, et que depasse ca et la l'envolee d'un clocher aerien; du haut des collines, Rouen offre une suite de panoramas varies, toujours gracieux et pittoresques, avec au fond le large ruban d'argent de la Seine traversant la verdure des pres et des bois, tandis que, dans les premiers plans, les eglises dominent de leurs masses imposantes le grouillement des maisons, ou des pignons aigus alignes indiquent le trace des vieilles rues encore subsistantes. Ces aspects s'eclairent le plus souvent d'une lumiere douce, inegalement tamisee a travers un ciel pommele, et dont les caprices ajoutent a l'effet et au pittoresque. Trop souvent, ce ciel deverse des ondees, mais elles entretiennent la fraicheur des verdures, et le sol crayeux absorbe vite l'humidite.
