Product Description

Excerpt from My Paris Note-Book I am beginning this book on the last day of the year (1893), and not without a certain feeling of sadness; for I cannot help remembering that exactly thirty-eight years have elapsed since I first caught sight of the Paris Boulevards. It was on the occasion of the return of some of the troops from the Crimea (December 31, 1855). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
