"Bilingual Parallel text in English and French -- Texte bilingue
francais et anglais en parallele." Sir Richard Wallace, who was
most probably the illegitimate son of the 4th Marquess of Hertford,
inherited a vast fortune including the Chateau de Bagatelle and the
world's finest collection of 18th Century Art, now the Wallace
Collection in London. During the siege of Paris in 1870, he used
this fortune to aid the citizens of the city and donated the
Wallace Fountains, which are today an integral part of its charm.
However his role as a benefactor did not stop there. He founded the
Hertford British Hospital for his compatriots, so often without
resource in a foreign country. The saga of the Hertford British
Hospital is the history of the British community, of royal
patronage and the evolution of healthcare, during the turbulent
period of Paris from 1876 to the present day. Sir Richard Wallace,
