Two or three of these original chapters, form part of a work I had once projected, on the Poor of Paris, but which other avocations compelled me to abandon.

Book Description
Excerpt from Paris the Beautiful Paris is neither mediaeval nor modern; it refuses to be assigned to any definite chronol ogy; it is unique, and there is a suggestion of a vast realm of life that is aglow with wonderful possibilities. Infinite trains of thought are inspired: one realizes that he is in the centre of art, of scientific activity and discovery, and that he treads on the very threshold of sur prises that may, any morning, quite transform the course of progress. There is a curious sense of satisfaction with one's environment, as being that which contains and offers everything, and stimulates the purposes of life in myriad dirce tions. The French capital is a paradise of beauty it is also a paradise of opportunity. The spirit experiences a sense of liberation from barriers and obstacles inseparable from all other cities or localities; a sense of being set free to observe.

Excerpt from Studies of Paris Here I am caught once more in this vast gilded net, into which one is drawn again and again, whether willing or not. The first time I remained here four months, thoroughly dissatisfied with myself, and glad to make my escape, but now that I return somewhat older and more mature and settled, I see the fault lay in myself, for woe to him who comes to Paris too young, and without any fixed aim in View, his head filled with vague notions and his pockets empty! Now I see Paris calmly - in com pany with a dear friend, Whose presence aids me in feeling more freshly and vividly all my impressions of the former visit. Here are those of the first day as they can be rendered by a weary brain and a pen borrowed from the landlord.
