[Footnote 21: According to these manuscripts, the three heads represent
_Logic_, _Philosophy_ and _Metaphysics_. They were surmounted by a crown.] MINERAL WATERS. Rouen has also its mineral waters, which, even in the neighbouring towns, have a sort of reputation, I will point out three of the principal sources, after _Lepecq de la Clôture_: The first, to the east, is known under the name of _la Marèquerie_, to which we arrive by the rue Martainville; the second, to the south east, named _de Saint-Paul_; the third is situated at _Déville_, in the neighbourhood of Rouen. The learned doctor, on whose authority I speak, assures us that sick people to whom he ordered the water of the last named spring, were cured by the use of it. He also adds, that this spring might become very valuable to the inhabitants of the western quarter of the town. Nevertheless, it has never been much known, and even at the present day very few people are acquainted with its existence. SQUARES AND MARKET PLACES. OLD MARKET AND PLACE DE LA PUCELLE. |
