Excerpt from Paris Herself Again in 1878-9 M. Maxime Ducamp but these eminent publicists naturally write and think as Frenchmen do, and (sometimes) as though there were no other metropolis in the world save Paris whereas English readers, I apprehend, would prefer an exhaustive picture of the gay city as seen through spectacles, which in their time have been turned on most of the cities in the civilised world. But this is not to be, I am afraid. As it is, I have done my best, and am very thankful for the reception given to my (i hope) harmless production.
