Excerpt from Paris in 1841

IT has long been proverbially said, e poi See Naples, and die! As if no scene or city could thenceforward interest the attention. It might be said with equal justice, See Paris, and live! To the hypochondriac, to the invalid, better advice could scarcely be given. The elasticity of the atmosphere, the dry ness of the soil which forms a perpetual filter, and, above all, the clearness of sky produced by the consumption of wood instead of coal, unite to lend a cheeriness to the scene highly advantageous to the spirits.
