| Summary | "Twenty Centuries of Paris" by Mabell S. C. Smith is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the rich, complex history of Paris from its earliest days to modern times, chronicling significant events, people, and transformations that have shaped the city. The book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Paris's evolution over the centuries, capturing the essence of its culture and the milestones that mark its development. The opening of the book presents a detailed examination of Paris's origins, beginning with prehistoric inhabitants and advancing through significant historical eras, such as the Roman period when it was known as Lutetia. The narrative highlights the transition from a simple village surrounded by marshlands to a site of cultural and commercial significance under Roman influence. Smith introduces various aspects of early Parisian life, including the tribal dynamics, architectural developments, and the establishment of social and religious structures, setting the stage for the city’s historical journey. The chapter emphasizes the resilience of the Parisians amidst invasions and their capacity for adaptation, establishing a foundation for understanding the growth of Paris as a major European capital.
