tailieunhanh - PARIS: WITH PEN AND PENCIL

The contents of this volume are the result of two visits to Paris. The first when Louis Napoleon was president of the Republic; and the second when Napoleon III. was emperor of France. I have sketched people and places as I saw them at both periods, and the reader should bear this in mind. I have not endeavored to make a hand-book to Paris, but have described those places and objects which came more particularly under my notice. I have also thought it best, instead of devoting my whole space to the description of places, or the manners of. | PARIS WITH PEN AND PENCIL ITS PEOPLE AND LITERATURE ITS LIFE AND BUSINESS BY DAVID W.

The contents of this volume are the result of two visits to Paris. The first when Louis Napoleon was president of the Republic and the second when Napoleon III. was emperor of France. I have sketched people and places as I saw them at both periods and the reader should bear this in mind. I have not endeavored to make a hand-book to Paris but have described those places and objects which came more particularly under my notice. I have also thought it best instead of devoting my whole space to the description of places or the manners of the people a subject which has been pretty well exhausted by other writers to give a few sketches of the great men of Paris and of France and among them a few of the representative literary men of the past. There is not a general knowledge of French literature and authors either past or present among the mass of readers and Paris and France can only be truly known through French authors and literature. My object has been to add somewhat to the general reader s knowledge of Paris and the Parisians of the people and the places whose social laws are the general guide of the civilized world.
