The capricious ravine of streets did not cut this block of houses into too disproportionate slices. The forty-two colleges were scattered about in a fairly equal manner, and there were some everywhere. The amusingly varied crests of these beautiful edifices were the product of the same art as the simple roofs which they overshot, and were, actually, only a multiplication of the square or the cube of the same geometrical figure. Hence they complicated the whole effect, without disturbing it; completed, without overloading it. Geometry is harmony. Some fine mansions here and there made magnificent outlines against the picturesque attics of the left bank. The house of Nevers, the house of Rome, the house of Reims, which have disappeared; the Hôtel de Cluny, which still exists, for the consolation of the artist, and whose tower was so stupidly deprived of its crown a few years ago. Close to Cluny, that Roman palace, with fine round arches, were once the hot baths of Julian. There were a great many abbeys, of a beauty more devout, of a grandeur more solemn than the mansions, but not less beautiful, not less grand. Those which first caught the eye were the Bernardins, with their three bell towers; Sainte-Geneviève, whose square tower, which still exists, makes us regret the rest; the Sorbonne, half college, half monastery, of which so admirable a nave survives; the fine quadrilateral cloister of the Mathurins; its neighbor, the cloister of Saint-Benoît, within whose walls they have had time to cobble up a theatre, between the seventh and eighth editions of this book; the Cordeliers, with their three enormous adjacent gables; the Augustins, whose graceful spire formed, after the Tour de Nesle, the second denticulation on this side of Paris, starting from the west. The colleges, which are, in fact, the intermediate ring between the cloister and the world, hold the middle position in the monumental series between the hotels and the abbeys, with a severity full of elegance, sculpture less giddy than the palaces, an architecture less severe than the convents. Unfortunately, hardly anything remains of these monuments, where Gothic art combined with so just a balance, richness and economy. The churches (and they were numerous and splendid in the University, and they were graded there also in all the ages of architecture, from the round arches of Saint-Julian to the pointed arches of Saint-Séverin), the churches dominated the whole; and, like one harmony more in this mass of harmonies, they pierced in quick succession the multiple open work of the gables with slashed spires, with openwork bell towers, with slender pinnacles, whose line was also only a magnificent exaggeration of the acute angle of the roofs.
At the establishment of Christianity, when the Apostles commanded a community of riches among their disciples, the miseries of the poor became alleviated in a greater degree. If they did not absolutely live together, as we have seen religious orders, yet the rich continually supplied their distressed brethren: but matters greatly changed under Constantine. This Prince, with the best intentions, published edicts in favour of those Christians who had been condemned, in the preceding reigns, to [Page 365] slavery, to the mines, the galleys, or prisons. The Church felt an inundation of prodigious crowds of these unhappy men, who brought with them urgent wants and corporeal infirmities. The Christian families formed then but a few: they could not satisfy these men. The magistrates protected them: they built spacious hospitals, under different titles, for the sick, the aged, the invalids, the widows, and orphans. The Emperors, and the most eminent personages, were seen in these hospitals, examining the patients. Sometimes they assisted the helpless, and sometimes dressed the wounded. This did so much honour to the new religion, that Julian the Apostate introduced this custom among the Pagans. But the best things are seen continually perverted.
There are Slaves even with savages; and, if force cannot establish servitude, they employ other means to supply it. The Chief of the Natchès of Louisiana disposes at his will of the property of his subjects: they dare not even refuse him their head. He is a perfect despotic prince. When the presumptive heir is born, the people devote to him all the children at the breast, to serve him during his life. This petit Chief is a very Sesostris; he is treated in his cabin as the Emperor of China is in his palace. Indeed, the origin of his power is great: the Natchès adore the Sun, and this [Page 369] Sovereign has palmed himself on them for the Brother of the Sun!
The use of single combat, at first designed only for a trial of innocence, like the ordeal fire and water, was, in succeeding ages, practised for deciding right and property. Challenging by the Glove was continued down to the reign of Queen Elizabeth, as appears by an account given by Spelman, of a duel appointed to be fought in Tothill Fields, in the year 1571. The dispute was concerning some lands in the county of Kent. The Plaintiffs appeared in Court, and demanded a single combat. One of them threw down his Glove. [Page 411] which the other immediately took up, carried off on the point of his sword, and the day of fighting was appointed; but the matter was adjusted in an amicable manner by the Queen's judicious interference.
WAX-WORK has been brought sometimes to a wonderful perfection. We have heard of many curious deceptions occasioned by the imitative powers of this plastic matter. There have been several exhibitions in London, which have pretended to an excellence they did not attain. It must be confessed, that a saloon, occupied by figures that represent eminent personages, forms a grand idea. To approach Voltaire, Franklin, or the great Frederick, yields to their admirers a delightful sensation. If we contemplate with pleasure an insipid Portrait, how much greater is the pleasure, when, in an assemblage, they appear wanting nothing but that language and those actions which a fine imagination can instantaneously bestow!
The Golden Age of the Latin Language began in the reign of Circero, and finished with the reign of Augustus; so that, without a metaphor, it is but an Age. Then flourished Varro, Cicero, Julius Caesar, Cornelius Nepos, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Severus Albinovanus, Sallust, and others; a part of whose works have happily escaped the ravages of Time.
The Age of Brass commences from the reign of Antonine, and reaches till Honorius, under whose reign the invasions of the Barbarians took place. Besides profane Authors, who abound in this Age, it produced Tertullian, Arnobius, Lactantius, Cyprian, Saint Hilary, Prudentius, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustin, Damases, and Sulpicius Severus.
When the august tribunal assembled in the SenateChamber, fifty-five Senators, presided over by Salmon P.Chase, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, constituted thetribunal. They took their seats in a semicircle in front ofthe Vice-president's desk at which the Chief Justice sat.Behind them crowded the one hundred and ninety membersof the House of Representatives, the accusers of the rulerof the mightiest Republic in human history. Every inch ofspace in the galleries was crowded with brilliantly dressedmen and women, army officers in gorgeous uniforms, andthe pomp and splendour of the ministers of every foreigncourt of the world. In spectacular grandeur no such scenewas ever before witnessed in the annals of justice.
Through the narrow crooked entrance they led Gus into the cave which had been the rendezvous of the Piedmont Den of the Klan since its formation. The meeting-place was a grand hall eighty feet deep, fifty feet wide, and more than forty feet in height, which had been carved out of the stone by the swift current of the river in ages past when its waters stood at a higher level. 2ff7e9595c
