House and Garden 
useless by changes of method in modern 
warfare. Paris may soon be considered a 
finished city. 
Facilities for transportation have changed 
greatly since Fulton launched his steamboat 
on the Seine precisely one hundred years 
ago. The homes of the people whose in¬ 
terests are in Paris are scattered over a vast 
territory. Any charming valley or pictur¬ 
esque hill, any convenient locality within 
fifty miles may house elements of popula¬ 
tion, which, in the time of Napoleon III., 
were obliged to reside within the fortifica¬ 
tions. But thanks to the taste, intelligence 
and skill of Baron Haussmann, the old city 
of Philippe-Auguste, Louis XIV. and Na¬ 
poleon III. is still the center of this enor¬ 
mous population.

Note.— The most important treasury ot material con¬ 
cerning the monumental history and topography of Paris 
is the Hotel Carnavalet, the palace of Mine, de Sevigne, 
which was built in the reign of Henry II. and decorated 
by the great sculptor Jean Goujon. This building con¬ 
tains the Museum of the City of Paris, with the remains 
of all sorts of monuments, and its library, composed of 
about 40,000 volumes and 20,000 prints and plans, all 
concerning the history of the city. 
The first Bibliotheque de la Ville was destroyed with 
the old Hotel de Ville in 1871. The present enormous 
collection has been created by its librarian, M. Jules 
Cousin, since that occurrence. 
Probably the best collection of Books on Paris in 
America is that included in the Henry O. Avery Archi¬ 
tectural Library of Columbia University. The late Mr. 
S. P. Avery, in collecting material for this library, made 
a specialty of those relating to the monuments and topog¬ 
raphy of Paris.
