is really Gambetta, just as he might have looked when he made his famous balloon voyage over the Prussian lines and away to Tours, or when he ascended the tribune of the Chamber to reply to some thrust from his opponents. Over the orator is a winged figure holding a flag and representing the Soul of France, which is stirred to its depths by the eloquence of Gambetta. The awakening of the nation by the fervid accents of the fiery patriot is finely represented by a soldier leaning on the breech of a big gun with a broken weapon in bis hand, a workman in a blouse stooping to rik up a sword, and another citizen shouldering arms and ready to march to battle. The group is called the National Defense, or the Marseil- jaise of 1870. Underneath is a tablet of black marble inscribed with the words, "To Gambetta, the Country, and the Republic." The monument is certainly striking and effective, but the mixture of classicism and romanticism, and the blending of bronze, iron, stone and,marble make it rather incoherent. It also looks too fragile and loo modem in the shadow of the more magnificent and antique monument, the foundations of which were laid by Philip Augustus.
