Side 439 - The choir is separated from the nave by a magnificent and elaborate screen, consisting of a low elliptical arch, formerly divided by mullions and tracery ; two spiral staircases, of exquisite beauty and lightness, wind round the pillars at the entrance, and two finely-wrought door-ways, crowned with figures, separate the aisles. The parapets of the staircases are particularly remarkable for their rich perforated tracery.
Side 518 - The style throughout the nave and choir is the vigorous early Gothic. In the centre of the nave a maze or labyrinth, of intricate circles, is marked out on the pavement in coloured stone ; to follow it through its windings (1,320 feet long), saying prayers at certain stations, was probably at one time a penitential exercise.
Side 468 - It is under the control of the Minister of the Interior ; and consists of, 1st, a botanical garden, with spacious hot-houses and green-houses; 2d, several galleries, in which...
Side 106 - It meets on Saturdays, at noon. A perpetual secretary is attached to each academy, except to that of sciences, which has two. BUREAU DES LONGITUDES.— This society, formed in 1795, for the discovery of methods for the more accurate determination of longitudes at sea, and for the improvement of navigation by means of astronomical observations, holds its meetings at the Observatory.
Side 36 - Great regularity is observed in the numbering of houses. In the streets parallel to the Seine the numbers follow the course of the river ; in those perpendicular to it or nearly so, the lowest number begins at the extremity nearest the Seine. In either case the even numbers are to the right, and the odd ones to the left of the visitor following the course of the river, or turning away from it.
Side 458 - The carpels manufactured here are considered far superior to the Persian for the evenness of their surface, the fineness and the strength of their texture. The colours and designs are perfect. Some of the carpets take as long as 5 to 10 years to be made, and cost from eo,ooo to 150,000 fr., and even at these high prices the workmen are very inadequately paid.
Side 83 - This is a place in which are deposited for three days the bodies of unknown persons who are drowned, or meet with accidental death. They are laid upon inclined slabs, open to the inspection of the public, in order that they may be recognized by those interested in their fate. Their clothes are hung up near them, as an additional means of recognition. If not claimed, they are buried at the public expense. The average number of bodies exposed annually is about 300, of which five-sixths are males.
Side 424 - The masonry of this hall is composed of alternate rows of squared stones and bricks, covered in some places with a coat of stucco four or five inches thick. The thickness of the walls is surprising. From this hall, a small room, giving access to the cellars, (which cannot be visited without a guide, who receives a small fee) leads to the tepidarinm, or chamber for warm baths, now entirely divested of its vaulted roof.
Side 196 - On the north are two edffices, between which the rue Royale opens a view of the Madeleine ; to the south are the Pont de la Concorde, and the Legislative Palace, behind which is seen towering the dome of the Invalides. The two edifices on the north side are each 288 feet in length ; and the rue Royale, which separates them, is 90 feet wide. The fronts are terminated by projecting pavilions, between which, on the ground-floor, is a line of arcades forming a rusticated basement.
Side 263 - Fers, and sculptured by the celebrated Jean Goujon, who was shot during the massacre of St. Bartholomew, while working at one of the figures, was removed to its present situation in 1786. It originally consisted of only three sides ; the fourth, or northern side, was added by Pajou at the time of its removal . Four arches, the piers of which are faced...
