20 imposing, in fact, as It appears in historic
imagination, for it was but SIXTY feet high,
sixty feet wide, and varying in length from
100 feet upwards, by the projection Of towers.
The building was begun in 1859, under orders
Of Charles V, and by an odd coincidence the
man who designed it and laid the founda-
tions, Hugue Andriot, was the first prisoner.
His alleged crime was love FOR beautiful
JeweSs, and yielding to her 80 far as TO re
ject some tenets OF the established religion.
Tho word "bastilen or ''bastidon was applied
70 many prisons in France, and there were
two Bastiles in Paris, but the noted one was
the Bastile Of the st. Antoine quarter.
It's strength was enormous There were
eight round towers, connected BY walls of
massive masonry, making the quadrangle;
the walls were nowhere less than twelve
feet thick, and around them was a deep ditch
twenty-five feet wide, flooded from the Seine,
and in turn protected by a lower wall In
this gloomy fortress wero fifty solitary cells
for state prisoners, besides tho great "herd-
ing rooms for common criminals, the quar-
ters for officials and guards, and many dark
cells and dungeons. These last were nine
teen feet below the surface level Of the
prison, and consequently below the bottom
Of the ditch, and each dungeon was lighted
by three narrow gratings two inches wide.
And to these secluded cells year after year
tho monarchs and favorite mobiles Of France
consigned their personal enemies-some-
times a real conspir0tor against the govern
ment and sometimes a man Of rank who had
actually committed Q crime: but as often a
husband whose wife was taken by some lord
Of the court, a creditor, a rival or other un-
fortunate. There was neither habeas corpus
nor judicial inquiry; the process was by
"lettre de cachetn from the minister Of jus
tics or the king, and once imprisoned the
fate OF the unfortunate hung upon the
cAprioes Of despotism.
