THE History of Paris, says Michelet, is the history of the French monarchy. The aim of the writer in the following pages has been to narrate the story of the capital city of France on the lines thus indicated, dwelling, however, in the earlier chapters rather more on its legendary aspect than perhaps an austere historical conscience would approve. But it is precisely a familiarity with these romantic stories, which at least are true in impression if not in fact, that the sojourner in Paris will find most useful, translated as they are in sculpture and in painting on the decoration of her architecture both modern and ancient, and implicit in the nomenclature of her ways. Within the limits of time and space allotted for the work no more than an imperfect outline of a vast subject has been possible. The writer has essayed to compose a story of, not a guide to, Paris. Those who desire the latter may be referred to the excellent manuals of Murray, Bædeker and of Grant Allen-the last named being an admirable companion for the artistically-minded traveller. In controversial matter, such, for instance, as the position of the ancient Grand Pont, the writer has adopted the opinions of the most recent authorities.

This book is a comprehensive treatise on Parisian history from Graeco-Roman Paris to modernity. A fascinating and insightful volume, "The Story of Paris" will appeal to those with an interest in French history, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Gallo-Roman Paris", "The Barbarian Invasions-St. Genevieve-The Conversion of Clovis", "The Merovingian Dynasty", "The Carlovigians-The Great Siege of Paris by the Normans-The Germs of Feudalism", "The Rise of the Capetian Kings and the Growth of Feudal Paris", "Paris under Philip Augustus and St. Louis", et cetera. Thomas Okey (1852-1935) was a master basket-weaver, translator, and writer. Other notable works by this author include: "Venice and its Story" (1904), "Paris and its Story" (1925), "The Story of Avignon" (1926). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Story of Paris by Katherine Kimball In recasting Paris and its Story for issue in the "Mediæval Towns Series," opportunity has been taken of revising the whole and of adding a Second Part, wherein we have essayed the office of cicerone. Obviously in so vast a range of study as that afforded by the city of Paris, compression and selection have been imperative: we have therefore limited our guidance to such routes and edifices as seemed to offer the more important objects of historic and artistic interest, excluding from our purview, with much regret, the works of contemporary artists. On the Louvre, as the richest Thesaurus of beautiful things in Europe, we have dwelt at some length and even so it has been possible only to deal broadly with its contents. A book has, however, this advantage over a corporeal guide; it can be curtly dismissed without fear of offence, when antipathy may impel the traveller to pass by, or sympathy invite him to linger over, the various objects indicated to his gaze. In a city where change is so constant and the housebreaker's pick so active, any work dealing with monuments of the past must needs soon become imperfect. Since the publication of Paris and its Story in the autumn of 1904, a picturesque group of old houses in the Rue de l'Arbre Sec, including the Hôtel des Mousquetaires, the traditional lodging of Dumas' d'Artagnan, has been swept away and a monstrous mass of engineering is now reared on its site: even as we write other demolitions of historic buildings are in progress. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Written by Thomas Okey in 1906, "The Story ofParis" is a beautifully written historyof the City of Lights with lovely penand ink illustrations by Katherine Kimball throughout the book. This is an EXACT reproduction of Mr. Okey's books and we have chosen to remain true to the publication,which may include an occasional blurred page or poor picture, but hopefully those will not keep you from enjoying this very special work. We wanted to present you with the original work as it was published over 100 years ago.Thomas Okay does a masterful job of story-telling that makes you want to keep reading. Here is just a little excerpt from the chapter called "Paris under Philip Augustus"The king, who had owed his life to the excellenceof his armour, was received in Paris witha frenzy of joy. The whole city came forthto meet him, flowers were strewn in his path,the streets were hung with tapestry,Te Deums sung in all the churches, and forseven days and nights the popular enthusiasmexpressed itself in dance, in song and joyous revel. It was the first nationaleven in France.History buffs and anyone with even a slight interest in France will find unexpected pleasure in reading this wonderful work.(Timeless Classic Books)
