[234] According to Sir Thomas Browne, bodies soon consumed there. "Tis all one to lie in St. Innocents' churchyard as in the sands of Egypt, ready to be anything in the ecstasy of being ever, and as content with six feet as the moles of Adrianus."
"Tabesne cadavera solvat

[235] Open Tuesdays and Fridays, 10 to 4.
[236] A description of this and of other public balls of the Second Empire will be found in Taine's Notes sur Paris, which has been translated into English.
