Excerpt from Paris Vistas But may not one's vistas be memories, with the years acting as intervening objects? Has not distance as much to do with time as with space? Vistas in words can no more convey the impression of things seen than Lester Hornby's sketches. If you want a substitute for Baedeker, please do not read this book! If you want a substitute for photographs, you will be disappointed in Lester's sketches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Paris Vistas: Look inside the book: If I were literal-minded, I suppose I should either abandon my title or make this book a series of descriptions of Sacré Coeur, crowning Montmartre, as you see the church from dark gray to ghostly white, according to the day, at the end of apartment-house-lined streets from the allée of the Observatoire, from the Avenue Montaigne, from the rue de Solférino, and from the Rue Taitbout. ...Then I would have my long walk with Papa, who didn't stay like Marie on the Champs-Elysées or in the Tuileries, but who would take me (Emily was too little) where there were crowds. ...And then he told me the story of how young Bonaparte, called upon to prevent a mob from rushing the Tuileries, put his guns on the steps of Saint-Roch, swept the street in both directions, and demonstrated that he was the first man since '89 who could dominate a Parisian crowd. About Helen Davenport Gibbons, the Author: 1 She made known the facts of the massacres that she herself witnessed in Tarsus and Adana in a book entitled, The Red Rugs of Tarsus, a series of letters in which she chronicled her and her husband’s (Herbert Adams Gibbons) first hand experiences. ...Shortly after her marriage to Herbert Adams Gibbons in June 1908 at the age of 25, she traveled with her husband to Turkey where he was working on his doctoral thesis, teaching and also writing as a foreign correspondent for the New York Herald.4 In 1916 Herbert published The Blackest Page of Modern History: Events in Armenia in 1915 – The Facts and Responsibilities.

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.

Excerpt from Vie De Boheme: A Patch of Romantic Paris If there is one reason for which the growth of newspapers during the last century may be looked at askance, it is the journalist's persistency in perpetuating phrases. Phrases and catchwords at the moment of invention are works of a peculiar genius, of which some men have an abnormal share, though it may crop out suddenly in the most unlikely places; but a good catchword, that crystallization of a drop of some elusive current that is momentarily passing through public opinion, that apt naming of some newly formed group of men or ideas, never comes out of an inkpot: it is essentially, as the French finely recognize, a mot, a pearl of speech.

Excerpt from The Other Paris BY the time they decided what Carol would wear for her wedding (white with white flowers), it was the end of the afternoon. Madame Germaine removed the sketch books, the scraps of net and satin, the stacks of Vogue; she had, already, a professional look of anxiety, as if it could not possibly come out well. One foresaw seams ripped Open, extra fittings, even Carol's tears. Odile, Carol's friend, seemed disappointed. White isn't original, she said. If it were me, I would certainly not be married in all that rubbish of lace, like a First Com munion. She picked threads from her skirt fastidiously, as if to remove herself completely from Carol and her unoriginal plans.

Excerpt from Pilgrimages in Paris It is generally more difficult to introduce a small personage anxious to make his way in the world than a great one, when both are alike strangers to the public; and I fell that it is equally so with a book.

Excerpt from Before the Dawn: A Story of Paris and the Jacquerie At the distance of several leagues from Paris, on the edge of the forest of Ermonne, stood a cottage built of logs, turf and clay: a miserable dwelling, the home of a peasant, that is to say of a despised creature, a wretch derisively called Jacques Bonhomme. Let us enter. We see a rude table formed of slabs, two stools, on which are seated a man and a woman, a heap of straw in one corner serving for a bed, and a hearth on which smoulders a feeble fire, whose smoke escapes as best it may through an open hole in the roof. On the clay floor are crouched three or four small children with wan pinched faces; for hunger is here, here within easy reach of the game that crowds the forest. What prevents the miserable wretch from taking his bow and shooting one of the deer that come fearlessly to his very door, from snaring the hares that frisk about in the neighboring thickets? What compels him to endure the sight of his famishing children, who stretch out their hands and ask for food? This prevents him; death, or his right hand stricken off, if he is detected in the act of killing the game that belongs to the nobles! Are these the thoughts of this man as he slowly raises his head?
