After the fire in London in 1666. the streets were impassable. and so people of quality went on their business or pleasure in sedan chairs. They became in time encha nuisance as to obstruct the highways. Sedan chairs continued in use in Paris n to the time of the Revolutim. and pose: ly longer in the provinces. When the Duchees of Nsmoure went in state from the French capital to her pried- pality cl Neutehatel. she undertook a journey of twelve days, and her anunet arson was “ toted ” by relays of carriers orty in number. It was thought to enhance the high quality of the person in the chair to have what was called an or howler.
