Notre Dame de Sacre Coeur was designed in simple, flowing lines by Georges Serraz of Paris, a grey little man who is considered France's finest religious artist. Cost of his colossus was 1,000,000 francs, raised during the past two years by the energetic cure of Le Mas-Rillier. Holding the child high in her arms and gazing down, the Virgin of Le Mas-Rillier will face south over 100 miles of the French Alps. Her weight: 440 tons. Her height with foundation: 174 feet...

There is a warmly-written, fact-laden essay on medieval Liibeck, centre of the Hanseatic League, sections devoted to business in Venice and Florence, to booms & crashes in Nurnberg, Antwerp, Bremen, the rise and fall of the Fuggers, the spectacular careers of Jacques Coeur, financier of Joan of Arc, and of Gresham, who backed Queen Elizabeth.
