Abstract
ORNAMENTAL gardening, among other things that added to the attractions of the city of pleasure, was greatly fostered during the latter part of the reign of Napoleon III., and does not appear likely to languish under the Republic. The magnificent publication, “Les Promenades de Paris,” by the author of the book now before us, is a costly work, known to comparatively few people in this country. We presume that the present volume is regarded as an appendix or supplement to the work named, otherwise we cannot account for the publication of what is little more than a catalogue of names in so unwieldy a form.
