ROUTE III. Distance 6 Miles. Starting from the Place de la
Madeleine, the Rue Duphot leads to the Rue Cambon.?No. 49 was the
residence of Casimir Prier, statesman and banker. A writer in "
Blackwood's Magazine" (1838) calls him "the conqueror of the
revolution of 1830. He found it arbitrary, he made it legal; he
found it warlike, he made it pacific; he found it destructive, he
made it conservative; he found it tumultuous and anarchist, he
reduced it to order and obedience." From the same source we take

which often contrasted well with his imposing energy. His air, his
manner, were prompt, and even imperious, and he would say, smiling,
when speaking of the efforts made by his political opponents to
compel him to yield, ' Why expect me to give up the game with the
cards that I hold ?'.... He was by no means a pleasant companion or
adapted to the politeness or courtesies of life. Rigorous towards
others and severe towards himself, though he loved few, he hated
none He had, however, some tenderly attached friends; in his family
he was gay in his conversation and lively in his sallies." So far
the English writer. Guizot says: " His physiognomy, his gait, his
attitude, his look, his accents?everything in hispersonal
attributes impressed this conviction [' that he was always
seriously in earnest.'] .... In private conversation he listened
coldly, argued little, and nearly always evinced himself determined
beforehand. In the tribune he was not often either eloquent or
dexterous; but ironically effective and powerful" ("Memoirs"). At
his death, in 1832, Perier was fifty-fiv...
