Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The White Fields of France, or the Story of Mr. M'all's Mission to the Working-Men of Paris and Lyons
While I am writing this, Paris has been moved by the news of the death of the Prince Imperial. In former days, an event like this would have been the signal for a Republican illumination, especially in what I may call the Mission faubourgs. But all has been quiet and the newspapers specially inform us that attempts to get up these displays in Belleville and Montmartre have failed and the lantern sellers went home with their stock unsold.
