A TOUR IN THE TOURAINE. 
(Illustrated by Lantern.) 
By F. S. MARVIN. October 6th, 1891. 
The first series of views were of places in Rouen and Paris, 
those of Paris being displayed in order that a contrast might be 
geen between the modern geometrical style of architecture and 
the picturesque examples of ancient times. Paris represented 
only the most modern development of France, whereas in the 
Touraine the towns and villages remained almost undisturbed 
through the course of centuries. Orleans was a modernised 
French town, all its interesting ancient memorials having been 
swept away. Pictures of some of the many remarkable castles 
which crown the hills were shown, and the chief historical 
events associated with them graphically told. Mr. Marvin 
dwelt at length upon the town of Loches, which he had made 
his centre. It was a small place of 5,000 inhabitants hardly 
touched by manufacturing pursuits, and had changed very little 
in the course of 800 years. Speaking of the provincial French- 
man, Mr. Marvin observed that he was quiet and conservative. 
His Republicanism was not of a revolutionary kind, but he 
desired things to remain as they were. Socially, he was 
industrious and serious, and there was not that passion for 
amusement which exists in English towns.
