These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Old and New Paris, v. 1 Its History, its People, and its Places: Look inside the book: In the centre of the so-called "town"-Paris in general, that is to say, as distinct from the city-was "la Maubuee" (derived, according to Victor Hugo, from mauvaise fumee), where Jews innumerable were roasted over fires of pitch and green wood to punish what a chronicler of the time terms their "anthropomancy"; and what the Counsellor de l'Ancre further describes as "the marvellous cruelty they have always shown towards Christians, their mode of life, their synagogue, so displeasing to God, their uncleanliness, and their stench." ...IF the Place de la Concorde, with the line of the Champs Elysees leading from it in one direction, and that of the Rue Royale and the line of boulevards in another, may be regarded as one of the most central points of Paris, the administrative centre is to be found in the Hotel de Ville on the east side of that Place de l'Hotel de Ville which was the heart of ancient Paris, or at least of so much of ancient Paris as stood on the right bank of the Seine.
