Abstract
Some months ago the writer happened to gaze at a bookseller's window in the rue du Musée in Brussels, little thinking of Charlotte Brontë, whose feet must often have trodden its pavé on her way from the Pensionnat Heger to the Protestant Chapel two doors away. A book entitled “La rue Isabelle et le Jardin des Arbalétriers,” by Mr. Victor Tahon, attracted his attention. On looking through it he noticed a fine photograph, apparently unknown to Brontë readers, of the Brussels street and school where Charlotte spent the two most fateful years of her life. The views hitherto published of the Pensionnat give but an imperfect idea of the school buildings and garden. I t is difficult, if not impossible, to gather from them a definite notion of their plan and of the disposition of the rooms and classes.
