Excerpt from Cathedral Cities of France
The following chapters are the result of notes put together during summers spent in France in the course of the last five years. They are not intended to mark out any particular geographical scheme, though considered as isolated suggestions they may possibly prove useful to the intending traveller; nor do they aim at covering all the Cathedral cities of France.
The authors are indebted for much valuable help from the following books: Viollet-le-Duc"s "Dictionnaire de l"Architecture"; Mr. Phene Spiers"s "Architecture East and West"; Mr. Francis Bond"s "Gothic Architecture in England"; Mr. Henry James"s "Little Tour in France"; Mr. Cecil Headlam"s "Story of Chartres"; Freeman"s "History of the Norman Conquest" and Sketches of French Travel"; Dr. Whewell"s "Notes on a Tour in Picardy and Normandy"; M. Guilhermy"s "Itineraire archeologique de Paris"; M. Hoffbauer"s "Paris a travers les ages"; M. Enlart"s, "Architecture Religieuse"; Mr. Walter Lonergan"s Historic Churches of Paris"; the "Chronicles" of Froissart and Monstrelet; and to the letters in The Times of its war correspondent, 1870 and 1871.
