1919. Wolff writes in the Preface: Paris Churches, many of them,
have an entrancing historical as well as a precious architectural
interest. Curious old legends are often connected with their
foundation. I have aimed at giving in concise and simple form their
history rather than a mass of architectural detail. Those who have
time can study for themselves from personal observation, by far the
best way, and with the help of books of reference, the intricacies
of the architectural features of the Churches. It is a rich field
of study. Many people from habit and knowledge are able to take in
at a glance the most salient points of architectural interest. What
we all love to know in looking upon and wandering through a grand
building which has stood for ages, are the circumstances of its
birth, the course of its growth, the stories connected with it. A
wonderful collection of vignettes describing the great churches of
Paris.
