Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Les Hermites en Liberte, Vol. 2
Calme ?ans 'ces lieux jadis si animes qu'in nondaient les ?ots d'une bruyante et active multitude; le silence general n'est inter rompu que par le faible murmure des eaux du fleuve. Ce qui excite aujourd'hui l'ardeur de nos desirs, ce qui ?atte notre orgueil est oublie. Les temples, les palais tous ces grands edifices, acheves avec tant d'efforts, sont detruits; je me trompe, un seul reste debout, c'est celui de la Bourse c'est ce monument du siecle que le genie des arts eleve au genie de la finance.
