Excerpt from Paris in 1814: Or a Tour in France After the First Fall of Napoleon From the Journal of William Roots, M.D., F. S. A After having read the interesting records of the original journal reproduced within this work, I prevailed upon Mr. William Henry Roots, M.E.C.S., the grandson of Dr. William Roots, F.S.A., the writer of the records, to allow them to be placed within reach of the general public. It will be interesting in the following pages to note the comparatively rude conveyances, , both by sea and land, of those days, that differ so immensely from those of the present day, but which had such a distinctive interest of their own that even the present ease of travel of these days is felt, in many ways, to be a loss. The French King's evident appreciation of the English, shows the value he set on his treatment in England during his exile - for the English had especial courtesy shown to them and frequent entree to places denied to others.
