Excerpt from Paris: Past and PresentSo old is this wondrous city, yet all that is new sifts through its heart, and nothing is neglected. Nowhere else is the last word in literature or the last painted thought so willingly accepted or so readily absorbed. A world within itself, a town within a town, it concerns itself little with the art and matters of another race, but as freely as it receives you it, too, as freely gives. Its outlook and life to-day have little changed since the Middle Ages, and not amongst the least picturesque aspects are the primitive methods used in maintaining its traditions. Yet its crowds are most orderly, and despite their impulsive nature, each man systematically takes his place and if another unfairly usurps his position, alljoin with one accord to see him regain it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
