Under the headings, The old city, The isle of Saint-Louis, The left bank of the Seine, and The right bank of the river, M. Cain has set forth both the historic and artistic points of the city of by-gone days. “Though it is in no sense a guidebook, the prospective sojourner in Paris would do well to read the work, especially if he is at all interested in noteworthy sights outside the ken of the ordinary tourist.” (N. Y. Times.)
“The present translation cannot be praised, but the illustrations and the printing of the volume are admirable, and it thus forms an excellent gift-book.”

“There is nothing aloof or academic in M. Cain’s account of the landmarks of the Paris of by-gone days; he takes his readers on four delightful rambles through four divisions of the region that held the germs of the great city of to-day.”
