Old and New Paris: Its History, Its People, and Its Places, v. 1

BY H. SUTHERLAND EDWARDS AUTHOR OF IDOLS OF THE FRENCH STAGE THE GERMANS IN FRANCE THE RUSSIANS AT HOME ETC. ETC. VOL. I WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS C A S S E L L AND C O M P A N Y LIMITED LONDON PARIS & MELBOURNE 1893 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PARIS, said Heinrich Heine, is not simply the capital of France, but of the whole civilised world, and the rendezvous of its most brilliant intellects. The art and literature of Europe were at that time represented in Paris by such men as Ary Scheffer, the Dutch painter, Rossini, the Italian composer, the cosmopolitan Meyerbeer, and Heine himself. Towards the close of the eighteenth century most of the European Courts, with those of Catherine II. and Frederick the Great prominent among them, were regularly supplied with letters on Parisian affairs by Grimm, Diderot, and other writers of the first distinction, who, in their serious moments, contributed articles to the Encyclopdie. At a much remoter period Paris was already one of the most famous literary capitals of Europe; nor was it renowned for its literature alone. Its art, pictorial and sculptural, was also celebrated, and still more so its art manufactures; while of recent years the country of Auber and Gounod, of Bizet, Massenet and Saint-Sans, has played a leading part in the world of music. Paris, too, has from the earliest times been a centre of science and philosophy. Here Ablard lectured, and here the first hospitals were established. Then, again, Paris has a military history of singular interest and variety. It has been oftener torn within its walls by civic conflicts, and attacked from without by the invader, than any other European city; while none has undergone so many regular sieges as the capital of the country of which Frederick the Great used to say that, if he ruled it, not a shot should be fired in Europe without his permission. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
