public library at the town-hall.

There are twenty five chapels in the circumference of the Cathedral. The
most spacious, and the first to the right on entering, is that of
Saint-Stephen, _la grande eglise_. It was formerly the _Parish church_
of Notre-Dame.

At the extremity of this aisle of the nave in going up, is the chapel of
_petit Saint-Romain_, where the tomb of Rollo, the first duke is
situated. This prince had formerly been buried in the sanctuary, near
the great altar, which, at the time, was situated at the higher end of
the present nave. The altar having been removed farther back, the
remains of Rollo were deposited in the corner arcade where they now are.
Above the arcade is the following inscription on a table of black
marble, of which the following is a translation.

Here lies Rollo, the first duke, the founder and father of
Normandy, of which he was at first the terror and the scourge, but
afterwards the restorer. Baptised in 912 by Francon, archbishop of
Rouen, and died in 917[5]. His remains had formerly been deposited
in the ancient sanctuary, where is at present the upper end of the
nave. The altar having been removed to another place, the remains
of the prince were deposited here, by the blessed Maurille,
archbishop of Rouen, in the year 1063.

On the opposite aisle, and exactly opposite the chapel we hare just
left, is that of Saint-Anne. The remains of Guillaume-Longue-Epée, the
son and successor of Rollo, who was assassinated in an island of the
Somme, by order of Arnould, count of Flanders, are deposited in this
chapel. His remains are placed like those of his father, in an arched
