Balzac was never tired. He said + that the men who were tired were those who rested and tried to work + afterwards. + </p> + <p> + "A Street of Paris and its Inhabitant" was in its author's mind when + Hetzel, engaged in collecting a copy for the work entitled "Le Diable a + Paris" that all book lovers admire, asked Balzac for an unpublished + manuscript. + </p> + <p> + Balzac gave him this, after retouching it, in order that it should have + the air of a finished story. Why Hetzel did not use it in "Le Diable a + Paris," no one knows. He went into exile, in Brussels, at the military + revolution that made Napoleon III Emperor and, needing money, sold "A + Street of Paris and its Inhabitant" with other manuscripts to Le Siecle. + </p> + <p> + Balzac's work was printed entire in three pages of the journal Le Siecle, + in Paris, July 28, 1845. M. le Vicomte Spoelberch de Lovenjoul owns + Balzac's autograph manuscript of it. These details are given by him and + might be reproduced here with his signature. But the publishers wish not + to be deprived of the pleasure of paying homage to the Vicomte Spoelberch + de Lovenjoul. + </p> + <p> + He has made in the biography of Balzac, in editions of his books, in the + pious collection of his unpublished writings, the ideal literary man's + monument. + </p> + <p> + H. P. du B. + </p> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%"> + <img alt="01a.jpg (44K)" src="images/01a.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <a name="linkc1" id="linkc1"></a> <br /><br /> + </p> + <h1> + I + </h1> + <h2> + PHYSIOGNOMY OF THE STREET + </h2> + <p> + <br /> + </p> + <p> + Paris has curved streets, streets that are serpentine. It counts, perhaps, + only the Rue Boudreau in the Chaussee d'Antin and the Rue Duguay-Trouin + near the Luxembourg as streets shaped exactly like a T-square. The Rue + Duguay-Trouin extends one of its two arms to the Rue d'Assas and the other + to the Rue de Fleurus. + </p> + <p> + In 1827 the Rue Duguay-Trouin was paved neither on one side nor on the + other; it was lighted neither at its angle nor at its ends. Perhaps it is + not, even to-day, paved or lighted. In truth, this street has so few + houses, or the houses are so modest, that one does not see them; the + city's forgetfulness of them is explained, then, by their little + importance. + </p> + <p> + Lack of solidity in the soil is a reason for that state of things. The + street is situated on a point of the Catacombs so dangerous that a portion + of the road disappeared recently, leaving an excavation to the astonished + eyes of the scarce inhabitants of that corner of Paris. + </p> + <p> + A great clamor arose in the newspapers about it. The government corked up + the "Fontis"—such is the name of that territorial bankruptcy—and + the gardens that border the street, destitute of passers-by, were + reassured the more easily because the tax list did not weigh on them. + </p> + <p> + The arm of the street that extends to the Rue de Fleurus is entirely + occupied, at the left, by a wall on the top of which shine broken bottles + and iron lances fixed in the plaster—a sort of warning to hands of + lovers and of thieves. + </p> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%"> + <img alt="03a.jpg (29K)" src="images/03a.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <p> + In this wall is a door, the famous little garden door, so necessary to + dramas and to novels, which is beginning to disappear from Paris. + </p> + <p> + This door, painted in dark green, having an invisible lock, and on which + the tax collector had not yet painted a number; this wall, along which + grow thistles and grass with beaded blades; this street, with furrows made + by the wheels of wagons; other walls gray and crowned with foliage, are in + harmony with the silence that reigns in the Luxembourg, in the convent of + the Carmelites, in the gardens of the Rue de Fleurus. + </p> + <p> + If you went there, you would ask yourself, "Who can possibly live here?" + </p> + <p> + Who? Wait and see. + </p> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a name="linkc2" id="linkc2"></a> <br /><br /> + </p> + <h1> + II + </h1> + <h2> + SILHOUETTE OF THE INHABITANT + </h2> + <p> + <br /> + </p> + <div class="figleft" style="width:20%;"> + <img width="100%" src="images/04a.jpg" alt="Illustrated 0." /> + </div> + <p> + One day, about three in the afternoon, that door was opened. Out of it + came a little old man, fat, provided with an abdomen heavy and projecting + which obliges him to make many sacrifices. He has to wear trousers + excessively wide, not to be troubled in walking. He has renounced, long + ago, the use of boots and trouser straps. He wears shoes. His shoes were + hardly polished. + </p> + <p> + The waistcoat, incessantly impelled to the upper part of the gastric + cavities by that great abdomen, and depressed by the weight of two + thoracic bumps that would make the happiness of a thin woman, offers to + the pleasantries of the passers-by a perfect resemblance to a napkin + rolled on the knees of a guest absorbed in discussion at dessert. + </p> + <p> + The legs are thin, the arm is long, one of the hands is gloved only on + most solemn occasions and the other hand ignores absolutely the advantage + of a second skin. + </p> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%"> + <img alt="05a.jpg (23K)" src="images/05a.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <p> + That personage avoids the alms and the pity that his venerable green frock + coat invites, by wearing the red ribbon at his button-hole. This proves + the utility of the Order of the Legion of Honor which has been contested + too much in the past ten years, the new Knights of the Order say. + </p> + <p> + The battered hat, in a constant state of horror in the places where a + reddish fuzz endures, would not be picked up by a rag picker, if the + little old man let it fall and left it at a street corner. + </p> + <p> + Too absent-minded to submit to the bother that the wearing of a wig + entails, that man of science—he is a man of science—shows, + when he makes a bow, a head that, viewed from the top, has the appearance + of the Farnese Hercules's knee. + </p> + <p> + Above each ear, tufts of twisted white hair shine in the sun like the + angry silken hairs of a boar at bay. The neck is athletic and recommends + itself to the notice of caricaturists by an infinity of wrinkles, of + furrows; by a dewlap faded but armed with darts in the fashion of + thistles. + </p> + <p> + The constant state of the beard explains at once why the necktie, always + crumpled and rolled by the gestures of a disquiet head, has its own beard, + infinitely softer than that of the good old man, and formed of threads + scratched from its unfortunate tissue. + </p> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%"> + <img alt="06a.jpg (25K)" src="images/06a.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <p> + Now, if you have divined the torso and the powerful back, you will know + the sweet tempered face, somewhat pale, the blue ecstatic eyes and the + inquisitive nose of that good old man, when you learn that, in the + morning, wearing a silk head kerchief and tightened in a dressing-gown, + the illustrious professor—he is a professor—resembled an old + woman so much that a young man who came from the depths of Saxony, of + Weimar, or of Prussia, expressly to see him, said to him, "Forgive me, + Madame!" and withdrew. + </p> + <p> + This silhouette of one of the most learned and most venerated members of + the Institute betrays so well enthusiasm for study and absent-mindedness + caused by application to the quest of truth, that you must recognize in it + the celebrated Professor Jean Nepomucene Apollodore Marmus de Saint-Leu, + one of the most admirable men of genius of our time. + </p> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%"> + <img alt="07a.jpg (20K)" src="images/07a.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a name="linkc3" id="linkc3"></a> + <br /><br /> + </p> + <h1> + III + </h1> + <h2> + MADAME ADOLPHE + </h2> + <p> + <br /> + </p> + <div class="figleft" style="width:20%;"> + <img width="100%" src="images/29a.jpg" alt="Illustrated W." /> + </div> + <p> + When the old man—the professor counted then sixty-two summers—had + walked three steps, he turned his head at this question, hurled in an + acute tone by a voice that he recognized: + </p> + <p> + "Have you a handkerchief?" + </p> + <p> + A woman stood on the step of the garden door and was watching her master + with solicitude. + </p> + <p> + She seemed to be fifty years of age, and her dress indicated that she was + one of those servants who are invested with full authority in household + affairs. + </p> + <p> + She was darning stockings. + </p> + <p> + The man of science came back and said naively: + </p> + <p> + "Yes, Madame Adolphe, I have my handkerchief." + </p> + <p> + "Have you your spectacles?" she asked. + </p> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%"> + <img alt="09a.jpg (22K)" src="images/09a.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <p> + The man of science felt the side pocket of his waistcoat. + </p> + <p> + "I have them," he replied. + </p> + <p> + "Show them to me," she said. "Often you have only the case." + </p> + <p> + The professor took the case out of his pocket and showed the spectacles + with a triumphant air. + </p> + <p> + "You would do well to keep them on your nose," she said. + </p> + <p> + M. de Saint-Leu put on his spectacles, after rubbing the glasses with his + handkerchief. + </p> + <p> + Naturally, he thrust the handkerchief under his left arm while he set his + spectacles on his nose. Then he walked a few steps towards the Rue de + Fleurus and relaxed his hold on the handkerchief, which fell. + </p> + <p> + "I was sure of it," said Madame Adolphe to herself. She picked up the + handkerchief and cried: + </p> + <p> + "Monsieur! Monsieur!" + </p> + <p> + "Well!" exclaimed the professor, made indignant by her watchfulness. + </p> + <p> + "I beg your pardon," he said, receiving the handkerchief. + </p> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%"> + <img alt="10a.jpg (40K)" src="images/10a.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <p> + "Have you any money?" asked Madame Adolphe with maternal solicitude. + </p> + <p> + "I need none," he replied naively, explaining thus the lives of all men of + science. + </p> + <p> + "It depends," Madame Adolphe said. "If you go by way of the Pont des Arts + you need one sou." + </p> + <p> + "You are right," replied the man of science, as if he were retracing + instructions for a voyage to the North Pole. "I will go through the + Luxembourg, the Rue de Seine, the Pont des Arts, the Louvre, the Rue du + Coq, the Rue Croix-des-Petits-Champs, the Rue des Fosses- Montmartre. It + is the shortest route to the Faubourg Poissonniere." + </p> + <p> + "It is three o'clock," Madame Adolphe said. "Your sister-in-law dines at + six. You have three hours before you—Yes—you'll be there, but + you'll be late." She searched her apron pocket for two sous, which she + handed to the professor. + </p> + <p> + "Very well, then," she said to him. "Do not eat too much. You are not a + glutton, but you think of other things. You are frugal, but you eat when + you are absent-minded as if you had no bread at home. Take care not to + make Madame Vernet, your sister-in-law, wait. If you make her wait, you + will never be permitted again to go there alone, and it will be shameful + for you." + </p> + <p> + Madame Adolphe returned to the threshold of the little door and from there + watched her master. She had to cry to him, "To the right! To the right!" + for he was turning toward the Rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs. + </p> + <p> + "And yet he is a man of science, people say," she muttered to herself. + "How did he ever manage to get married? I'll ask Madame when I dress her + hair." + </p> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%"> + <img alt="12a.jpg (16K)" src="images/12a.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a name="linkc4" id="linkc4"></a> + <br /><br /> + </p> + <h1> + IV + </h1> + <h2> + INCONVENIENCE OF QUAYS <br />WHERE ARE BOOK STALLS + </h2> + <p> + <br /> + </p> + <div class="figleft" style="width:20%;"> + <img width="100%" src="images/13a.jpg" alt="Illustrated A." /> + </div> + <p> + At four o'clock, Professor Marmus was at the end of the Rue de Seine, + under the arcades of the Institute. Those who know him will admit that he + had done nobly, since he had taken only one hour to go through the + Luxembourg and down the Rue de Seine. + </p> + <p> + There a lamentable voice, the voice of a child, plucked from the good man + the two sous that Madame Adolphe had given to him. When he reached the + Pont des Arts he remembered that he had to pay toll and turned back + suddenly to beg for a sou from the child. + </p> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%"> + <img alt="14a.jpg (27K)" src="images/14a.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <p> + The little rascal had gone to break the coin, in order to give only one + sou to his mother. She was walking up and down the Rue Mazarine with her + baby at her breast. + </p> + <p> + It became necessary for the professor to turn his back on the veteran + soldier who guards against the possibility of a Parisian passing over the + bridge without paying the toll. + </p> + <p> + Two roads were open to him: the Pont Neuf and the Pont Royal. Curiosity + makes one lose more time in Paris than anywhere else. + </p> + <p> + How may one walk without looking at those little oblong boxes, wide as the + stones of the parapet, that all along the quays stimulate book lovers with + posters saying, "Four Sous—Six Sous—Ten Sous—Twelve Sous—Thirty + Sous?" These catacombs of glory have devoured many hours that belonged to + the poets, to the philosophers and to the men of science of Paris. + </p> + <p> + Great is the number of ten-sous pieces spent in the four-sous stalls! + </p> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <div class="fig" style="width:60%"> + <img alt="16a.jpg (37K)" src="images/16a.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> + </div> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> + </p> + <p> + The professor saw a pamphlet by Vicq-d'Azyr, a complete Charles Bonnet in + the edition of Fauche Borel, and an essay on Malus. + </p> + <p> + "And such then is the sum of our achievements," he said to himself. + "Malus! A genius arrested in his course when he had almost captured the + empire of light! But we have had Fresnel. Fresnel has done excellent + things!—Oh, they will recognize some day that light is only a mode + of substance." + </p> + <p> + The professor held the notice on Malus. He turned its pages. He had known + Malus. He recalled to himself and recited the names of all the Maluses. + Then he returned to Malus, to his dear Malus, for they had entered the + Institute together at the return to Paris of the expedition to Egypt. Ah! + It was then the Institute of France and not a mass of disunited Academies. + </p> + <p> + "The Emperor had preserved," said Marmus to himself, "the saintly idea of + the Convention. I remember," he muttered aloud, "what he said to me when I + was presented to him as a member of the Institute.

Ah, he was a very great man and a man of wit!

"I saw him reviewing his sublime troops!

The professor walked slowly toward the Chamber of + Deputies, asking himself if his theory might have had Napoleon's support. + He could no longer judge Napoleon save from that point of view.

The cab stops + at the Institute; the janitor sees the Academician and bows to him + respectfully. The cab driver, his suspicions dispelled, talks with the + janitor of the Institute while the illustrious professor goes—at + eight in the evening—to the Academie des Sciences. + </p> + <p> + The cab driver tells the janitor where he found his fare. + </p> + <p> + "At the Iena bridge," repeats the janitor.

He must be her nephew." + </p> + <p> + Madame Marmus, a little woman, lithe, graceful, mirthful, was divinely + dressed and in a fashion too young for her age, counting her twenty-five + years as a wife. Nevertheless, she wore well a gown with small pink + stripes, a cape embroidered and edged with lace, boots pretty as the wings + of a butterfly. She carried in her hand a pink hat with peach flowers. + </p> + <p> + "You see, Madame Adolphe," she said, "my hair is all uncurled.

I will go to him as soon as I change my dress." + </p> + <p> + Madame Adolphe returns to the pavilion to propose an emetic, and scolds + the professor for not having returned with Madame Marmus. + </p> + <p> + "Since you wished to come in a cab, you might have spared me the expense + of the one that Madame Marmus took. The charge for your cab was an hour. + Did you stop anywhere?" + </p> + <p> + "At the Institute," he replied. + </p> + <p> + "At the Institute!

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + + + +</pre> + </body> +</html> diff --git a/8150-h/images/01a.jpg b/8150-h/images/01a.jpg Binary files differnew
