writes:

gazed on charred pieces of brickwork
which were once houses. Here and
there perhaps half a house would be

bricks was strewn across the street.

Of the building are attributed to Jean

said to have been partly planned by
the monk Hughes Labergier and the
two Roberts de Courcy.
The magnificent west facade was
one Of the most famed parts Of the
cathedral. Three beautiful recessed
portals containing $50 statues adorned
this, Of which Ferguson, the archi-
tectural critic, has written:
Nothing can exceed the majesty Of
its deeply recessed portals, the beauty
Of the rose window that surmounts
them or the elegance Of the gallery
that completes the facade and serves
as a basement to the light and grace
full towers that crown the compost

The interior of the cathedral was
cruciform, being 455 feet long and
90 feet wide. while the highest point
of the roof above the middle aisle was
125 feet. Hundreds Of statues reposed
in inches along the walls Of the in
