Book Description
Excerpt from Paris and Its Historical Scenes, Vol. 2 of 2: The Revolution of 1830 Of the Historical Scenes of which Paris has been the theatre, none are so extraordinary, or calculated to awaken so deep an interest, as those by which that city has been illustrated in our own day. The last week of July, 1830 - deservedly styled La grande Semaine - may probably vie, for the magnitude of the movements which formed its rapid drama, with any period of the same brevity in the annals of the modern world. For within this little space we have not only the mighty result of a throne overturned, and a nation revolutionized, but the beginning of that Revolution, a swell as its consummation, - not merely the crash of the downfall following the last of many successive shocks (an incident sufficient of itself to make a memorable epoch), but the whole process of the assault as well as the catastrophe of the overthrow.

Book Description
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.

Excerpt from Paris From the Earliest Period to the Present Day, Vol. 2 It would scarcely have been thought that this gracious sovereign lady, one of the noblest figures among the women of France, could have been made the object of malicious slander; but one of her latest biographers, M. Elie Berger, thinks it Worth while to defend her seriously against the legend born of jealousy and impotence of having been the mistress of the Cardinal de saint-ange and of the Comte Thibaut de Champagne. His defence, apart from the inherent improbability of the story, seems to be quite convincing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Paris, Vol. 2 of 2 Paris began to spread beyond the boundaries of Lutece from Roman times onwards. The rays emerging from this centre have absorbed all the villages in the neighbourhood, and for many miles in every direction all is now one vast and crowded city. But the island, where the first palaces were grouped around the fishermen's huts, has ever been as it were the axis of the kingdom, the point whence the laws were disseminated, and where the metropolitan cathedral has existed for fifteen centuries. In early times two islets broke the force of the river beyond the point of the Ile de la Cite. These were the Ile de la Gourdaine, or du Passeur aux Vaches, and the Ile aux Javiaux, or Ile aux Treilles. Upon the latter, which was then opposite the end of the royal gardens (march 11, r Jacques de Molay, grand master of the Templars, and Guy, dauphin d'auvergne.

Book Description
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.

Excerpt from Recollections of Paris, Vol. 2 of 2 It was with a feeling of stupor that Paris learned M. Jules Favre had gone to Versailles to treat with Count Bismarck. It could no longer be a question of "not a stone of our fortresses, not an inch of our territory." France had been brought to her knees. Fob victis! After several trips between Paris and Versailles, matters were arranged. Had peace been concluded when M. Thiers went to negotiate at the end of October, France would have been let off with a war indemnity of 120,000,000, and the loss of the German portions only of Alsace and Lorraine. She would have retained Metz. Now she was called upon to make much heavier sacrifices, and had to submit. Count Bismarck at first said that he would treat with the Emperor only, but he did not persist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
