Nearly three centuries ago, a guidebook to Paris marveled at the city's ''infinite diversities'' and its ''prodigious number of inhabitants.'' 1 Early in the twentieth century, a Parisian boy named Julien Green expressed similar awe: How could such a small word, Paris, ''designate so many things, so many streets and squares, so many parks, so many houses, roofs, chimneys''? 2 Historians today have even more reason to be awed-if not overwhelmed-when they take up Paris as the object of their study. How does one write and teach the history of the multifaceted, vast metropolis? How does one describe it, analyze it, and recount its formative events and development? How does one do justice to the sprawling ''agglomeration'' of current Paris, with its ten million inhabitants, its many ethnic ''colonies,'' its varied quartiers and banlieues
