The maps reproduced in this issue,
which show Paris before and during the French Revolution, are taken
from
the Plan de la Ville de Paris en 1789
and the Plan de la Ville de Paris,
Période Révolutionnaire, 1790-1794. These maps
were prepared, in 1887, at the direction of the Municipal Council of
Paris, and are valuable as historical and comparative documents. They
are reproduced in detail for greater legibility and convenience of
reference.
