[37] It is about 180 English feet in width, by about 150 in the highest
    part of its elevation.  The plates which I saw at Mr. Frere’s,
    bookseller, upon the Quai de Paris, from the drawings of Langlois,
    were very inadequate representations of the building.

[38] The ravages committed by the Calvinists throughout nearly the whole of
    the towns in Normandy, and especially in the cathedrals, towards the
    year 1560, afford a melancholy proof of the effects of RELIGIOUS
    ANIMOSITY.  But the Calvinists were bitter and ferocious persecutors. 
    Pommeraye, in his quarto volume, Histoire de l’Eglise Cathedrale de
    Rouen, 1686, has devoted nearly one hundred pages to an account of
    Calvinistic depredations.

[39] [Mr. Cotman has a plate of the elevation of the front of this south
    transept; and a very minute and brilliant one will be found in the
    previous edition of this Tour—­by Mr. Henry le Keux:  for which that
    distinguished Artist received the sum of 100 guineas.  The remuneration
    was well merited.]

[40] [Mons. Licquet says each clustered pillar contains thirty-one
    columns.]

[41] This chapel is about ninety-five English feet in length, by thirty in
    width, and sixty in heighth.  The sprawling painting by Philippe de
    Champagne, at the end of it, has no other merit than that of covering
    so many square feet of wall.  The architecture of this chapel is of the
    XIVth century:  the stained glass windows are of the latter end of the
    XVth.  On completing the circuit of the cathedral, one is surprised to
    count not fewer than twenty-five chapels.

[42] [Mons. Licquet is paraphrastically warm in his version, here.  He
    renders it thus:  “les atteintes effroyables du vandalisme
    revolutionaire,” vol. i. p. 64.]

[43] Sandford, after telling us that he thinks there “never was any
    portraiture” of the Duke, thus sums up his character.  “He was justly
    accounted one of the best generals that ever blossomed out of the
    royal stem of PLANTAGENET.  His valour was not more terrible to his
    enemies than his memory honourable; for (doubtful whether with more
    glory to him, or to the speaker) King Lewis the Eleventh being
    counselled by certain envious persons to deface his tomb (wherein with
    him, saith one, was buried all English men’s good fortune in France)
    used these indeed princely words:  ’What honour shall it be to us, or
    you, to break this monument, and to pull out of the ground the bones
    of HIM, whom, in his life time, neither my father nor your
    progenitors, with all their puissance, were once able to make flie a
    foot backwarde? who, by his strength, policy and wit kept them all out
    of the principal dominions of France, and out of this noble duchy of
