"Paris from the Earliest Period to the Present Day; Volume 1" by William Walton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the evolution of Paris, examining its rich history from the Gallo-Roman and pre-mediæval periods through the influences of various classes and socio-political changes. The text aims to illuminate the complexities and nuances of Parisian identity as shaped by significant historical events and figures. The opening of the volume sets the stage by reflecting on the multifaceted nature of Paris, describing it as a city that embodies both grandeur and moral complexities. Walton introduces the ancient roots of Paris, tracing its origins back to the Parisii tribe and the Roman influence that laid the groundwork for the city’s governance and infrastructure. He paints a vivid picture of early societal structures, highlighting the interplay between different classes and the city’s evolution through successive eras, contextualized by the broader historical forces of the time. This foundation promises a thorough exploration of how Paris emerged as a central cultural and political force in France. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
