To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
II. — 13 194 THE STONES OF PARIS are hardly altered since their construction by his good friend Achille de Harlay, President of Parliament, whose name is retained in the street behind the place and in front of the Palace of Justice. The King looks out, a genial grin between his big, ugly, Gascon-Bour- bon nose and his pushing chin, over his beloved Paris, well worth the mass he gave for it ; for, from the day he got control, it grew in form and comeliness for him. His kindly, quizzical eyes see...m to see, over the Island and the river, his own old Alarais, the quarter which held the hotel of his menus plaisirs, and which it was his greater pleasure to rebuild and make beautiful. And " la perle du Marais " — his Place Royale — deserves his unchanging regard, almost unchanged as it is, since he planned it and since its completion, which he never saw. It is the grand tangible monument he has left to Paris, and speaks of him as does nothing. Else in the town.
When he came into his capital on March 22, 1594, he found the enclosure of the Tournelles en friche.
