In this volume OF nine essays, Mr..
Reed has attcmpted-with what sue

of the reader-to look into the hidden,
the spiritual side Of cities. forests,

For instance, looking over Paris
from the Eiffel Tower, he sees: Paris
the ancient. Paris the new, Paris the
superstitious. Paris the free minded,
Paris the player Paris the toiler. Paris
the philosopher, Paris tho mad, Paris
the saint and Paris the beast"
He views, and describes his imagina-
