The Historical Monuments of France (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Historical Monuments of France

These monuments are widely scattered, and are so numerous that descriptions must be limited to those that are representa tive. The selection for this purpose is a fair one, although it may not be faultless. Notes of the many hundred others are placed in an Appendix. An examination of the chief works may, indeed, give a more vivid or a less confused conception of the series. Only a gazetteer could hold a full account of all the objects; probably no one American, and few among the French, have visited them, or even a large part of them. For reference, a long list is made out from official and other sources, with addi tions and notes that seem proper. But all of the Old or curious structures in the country are by no means mentioned persons well acquainted with them can find some omissions.
