The revolutionary disturbances im peded the operations still requisite to render the vast quarries and catacombs of Paris stable and safe. The ordinary vaults became, consequently, full of cracks, water filtrated through the roofs, and fresh downfalls seemed impending. The air was rendered noxious by the want of circulation.
