As see NOTE.
"Paris, April 20, 1803.
" The Minister will draw up a plan for placing the statue of Charlemagne in the so-called Place Vendome.
" BONAPARTE. " And in September came DECREE.
" 1st. There shall be raised in Paris, in the centre of the Place Vendome, a column similar to that erected in honour of Trajan. " The dimensions of the column were duly laid down, and the shaft was to be ornamented with allegorical figures in bronze representing the departments of the i Republic. And on the to...p was to be placed the statue of Charlemagne !
When the above decree was issued Austerlitz had not 1S8 RECOLLECTIONS OF PARIS been fought, nor had Austria and Russia furnished the bronze with which the shaft was afterwards plated. On August 26, 1806, matters had changed. There was a new Charlemagne. Bonaparte was Emperor, and having furoished the metal for the column, he con- sidered that he it was who should adorn its summit. As for the allegorical figures representing the depart- ments of the Republic, there being no longer a Republic, nothing more was heard of them.
