"The American in Paris; vol. 2 of 2" by John Sanderson is a travel narrative written in the early 19th century. The book provides a detailed exploration of Paris, focusing on its churches, cultural practices, and society through the eyes of an American observer. It likely reflects the author's observations and experiences while traversing Parisian life, offering insights into both French and American cultural contrasts. The opening portion introduces readers to the various religious practices and notable churches in Paris, beginning with a visit to St. Roch for a mass. Sanderson provides rich descriptions of the liturgical environment, reflecting on the influence of the clergy and the changing status of religion in French society. He also contrasts the grandeur of the churches with the secular pursuits of the French people, highlighting the elegance and ritual of mass while also acknowledging the cynicism and fashion that often accompany such religious observances. The narrative captures a sense of both reverence and irony, providing a vivid portrayal of Paris's religious landscape interwoven with the complexities of changing societal values.
