Description:Excerpt from The Democratic Party You will perhaps remember in Thackera '8 Paris Sketch Book the two pen-and-ink figures of the rench monarch of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in whose reign of seventy years French civilization took on its modern form. In the first sketch we have Louis the Great in robes of ermine and purple, his brow surmounted by a superb and well-nigh impossible head of hair, his shoulders broad and firm for cares of sovereignty, and his hand grasping a scepter; altogether it is a s lendid figure of conscious power. In the second view t e monarch, bavin retired from the public gaze to his chamber, has, much to is com fort, been reduced to the reality of his own manhood. The heavy vestments have been thrown off no wig conceals the royal baldness; the shoulders and legs are no longer padded out to lines of beauty; the paint and powder are gone, so that the eyes are seen to be sunken, and the wrinkled feat ures of old age are plain. In this bald, feeble, Spindling creature there is, however, all that ever there was of genu ine man or genuine ruler, all that had been so successfully idealized by the disguise and harness of the first sketch. There we had the king of tradition, of po ular imagination, ruling his people from an Olympian beig t of unspeakable wisdom and sacred power. Here is the king of reality, a feeble man, selfish, narrow, short-sighted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
