Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1828 edition. Excerpt: .Genevieve, the patroness of Paris, is regarded as having originally been a poor shepherdess; she lived in the vth century, and to her prayers was attributed the precipitate departure of Attila, king of the Huns, who with his army desolated Gaul in 451. But the first historian who speaks of saint Genevieve, and who wrote 18 years after her death, makes no mention of her poverty; he merely relates that saint Germain, bishop of Auxerre, and saint Loup, bishop of Troyes, journeying to England, stopped on their way at Nanterre, and that saint Germain took notice of Genevieve, who was then only seven years old, and exhorted her to consecrate herself to the service of God, and to renounce wordly affairs, to adorn her garments neither with gold nor with silver, to wear neither bracelets, rings nor jewels; but to preserve the copper medal he gave her, on which the figure of the cross was imprinted. An exhortation of this nature must certainly have been given to the daughter of a rich person; for it is probable that saint Germain would have found something else to say to a poor peasant, he would not have entreated her to renounce luxuries with which she never could have been acquainted. M. Guerin has given to the face of saint Genevieve a remarkable naivete, blended with an inspired air, which accords well with the subject; he has clothed her with the greatest simplicity, and given heran occupation without pretension. This picture is in the gallery of the Luxembourg. Height, 3 feet 10 inches breadth, 3 feet 4 inches. UN FILS DE NIOBE. La famille de Niobe dont nous avons deja donne une statue sous le n 71 est une des choses les plus remarquables de la galerie de Florence, tant par la beaute du travail que par le nombre.<
