2. Paris (Plates 34, 35). 



Paris, the time-honored capital of France, lies in a plain traversed by the 

 Seine. At the last census, of 1846, it had a population of about 1,053,897 

 inhabitants, amongst ^vhich 945,721 belonged to the fixed population, and 

 88,475 to the floating, or those in schools, hospitals, &c. ; and 19,701 to the 

 garrison. Paris is about fourteen miles in circumference, with an area of 

 three millions and a half of hectares, and is divided into twelve Mairies 

 or Arrondissements, with forty-eight Quartiers or Police districts. The 

 Seine separates it into a south and north part, the latter of which is the 

 larger. It is inclosed by a continuous wall, twelve to sixteen feet high, 

 through which lead fifty-eight entrances or Barrieres. The city contains 

 30,000 houses, 113 churches and chapels, 43 public libraries, 40 convents, 

 22 theatres, 27 hospitals, 33 barracks, 22 bridges, 80 fountains, more than 

 80 public squares, and some 1700 streets and quais. The principal points 

 of interest are as follows : 



a. In the City Proper, north of the Seine : the Tuileries, formerly the 

 residence of the French king, 1071 feet long, with a garden 2000 feet in
