It has long been proverbially said, “Vedi Napoli, e poi mori! ” “See Naples, and die!” as if no scene or city could thenceforward interest the attention. It might be said with equal justice, “See Paris, and live!” To the hypochondriac, to the invalid, better advice could scarcely be given. The elasticity of the atmosphere, the dryness of the soil which forms a perpetual filter, and, above all, the clearness of sky produced by the consumption of wood instead of coal, unite to lend a cheeriness to the scene highly advantageous to the spirits.
This book gives you an opportunity to acquaintance yourself with the beauty of 1841 Paris.
