poplar-bordered roads of Normandy.

THE CHATEAU GAILLARD FROM THE ROAD BY THE SEINE The village of Le Petit
Andely appears below the castle rock, and is partly hidden by the
island. The chalk cliffs on the left often look like ruined walls.

side great chalk cliffs rise precipitously, and on the other are broad
flat pastures.

THE CATHEDRAL AT ROUEN Showing a peep of the Portail de la Calende, and
some of the quaint houses of the oldest part of the City.

THE CATHEDRAL OF EVREUX SEEN FROM ABOVE On the right, just where the
light touches some of the roofs of the houses, the fine old belfry can
be seen.

A TYPICAL FARMYARD SCENE IN NORMANDY The curious little thatched
mushroom above the cart is to be found in most of the Norman farms.

THE BRIDGE AT BEAUMONT-LE-ROGER On the steep hill beyond stands the
ruined abbey church.

IN THE RUE AUX FEVRES, LISIEUX The second tiled gable from the left
belongs to the fine sixteenth century house called the Manoir de
Francois I.

THE CHURCH OF ST JACQUES AT LISIEUX One of the quaint umber fronted
houses for which the town is famous appears on the left.

overlooks the steep valley of the Ante.

THE CHATEAU D'O A seventeenth century manor house surrounded by a wide
moat.

DOMFRONT CASTLE Down below can be seen the river Varennes, and to the
left of the railway the little Norman Church of Notre-Dame-sur-l'Eau.

THE CLOCK GATE, VIRE

A VIEW OF MONT ST MICHEL AND THE BAY OF CANCALE FROM THE JARDIN DES
PLANTES AT AVRANCHES On the left is the low coast-line of Normandy, and

THE PURPOSE OF THE FOOTNOTES

Having always considered footnotes an objectionable feature, I have
resorted to them solely for reference purposes. Therefore, the reader
who does not wish to look up my authorities need not take the slightest
notice of the references to the footnotes, which in no case contain
additional facts, but merely indications of the sources of information.
