Book Description
Excerpt from Aspects of Paris In avoiding all political paths, and pursu ing only those which allured me by their novelty or their picturesqueness, I have met with far more agreeable scenes than I could have expected to meet with had I followed a less inviting route. I can only hope that I have sketched those scenes with fidelity, and painted them in pleasant colours. In this hope I place my pictures - with a somewhat trembling hand perchance - before the public, and leave them to the fate for which they may be re served.

Book Description
Excerpt from Imperial Paris: Including New Scenes for Old Visitors Some of the papers contained in this book have already appeared in Household Words; but there are many which are now published for the first time. 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. They may, however, stimulate some inquirer who has the leisure to finish a task that could not fail to interest the English public. Chifi'ons and Cliifi'oniers; the Four Seasons in Prose; the French Waiter' s Story; Departed this Life in Paris; street-note and Paris under the Bees, are original chapters, in which the reader will find, if I am not mistaken, views of Parisian activity with which no book has yet made him acquainted. In the paper entitled The English Painted by the French, I have woven into one narrative, a series of quotations from various French writers, who have written recently on En g land. It presents, at a glance, a series of whimsical. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Souvenir of Paris Factory feeling that the money is well spent. Rich and poor are catered for abundantly, and a multitude of cafés enables the Parisian to survey Paris from count less points of vantage.

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.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Garden of Paris To-day the garden has been deluged with rain. Sometimes the rain comes in quick pattering big drops, and then the garden looks like an impressionist landscape, with queer looking spots and dabs. Sometimes it comes in thin steady streams, and then my landscape changes into a pen and ink sketch with fine lines across its surface.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shadows of Old Paris To most Anglo-Saxons and Americans, Paris of the Twentieth Century is almost as familiar as their native cities. Its crowded Boulevards, brilliant cafes, theatres, and shops are the playground of hundreds of thousands of English-speaking tourists, whose yearly trip to the "Gay City" is a regular chapter in the programme of diversion. Though every man is not a Frenchman, each may become, to a certain extent, a Parisian; for the asphalt is hospitable to all nationalities alike, if they will but bring with them a capacity for enjoyment and the wherewithal to pay for it liberally. Yet, amongst the crowds of idlers and pleasure-seekers, of students even, who make the French capital temporarily their home, there are few lovers of tradition curious enough to turn from the dazzling modern city of pleasure, and plunge into the dingy Paris of the past, itself a town within a town, rapidly being swallowed up by the hydra-headed demon of improvement, with its insatiable appetite and power of destruction. Along the quays, some of the older houses yet remain; in the streets adjoining, slumbering amid gardens, lie the stately homes of the nobility, a few still occupied by the great families who have inhabited them for generations. But they are fast disappearing, and many have fallen from their high estate to serve as warehouses, or for commercial purposes, or, even, as tenements for the poorest classes of artisans and workmen. Here and there, in the narrow streets of a sordid quarter, mouldy with grime and dampness, a proud frontage will rear its graceful proportions, keeping, though in dilapidated surroundings, its birthright of dignity and beauty.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Mysteries of Paris: A Novel The stranger replied not, but listened eagerly to her musical voice. Never had a more silvery sound greeted his ear. He longed to catch a glimpse of her features, but in vain; the night was too dark, the lamp too dim. After having remained motionless for several minutes, Chourineur began gradually to move his legs, his arms, and finally assumed an upright posture.

Book Description
Excerpt from Twenty Centuries of Paris So it happens, rather humorously, that the earliest written account of Paris is that telling of the destruction which left its site a clean slate upon which the Romans might begin to write its story. For five hundred years they wrote, until the Frankish invasion swept its destructive might across Romanized Gaul.
