Translations for contemplation in French
Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
The crowd was caused, not by the expectation of a man to be
hanged, but by the contemplation of a man who was hanged.
The carriage, which had been stopped for a minute, resumed its
way, passed through the crowd, threaded the Rue St. Honore,
turned into the Rue des Bons Enfants, and stopped before a low
door.

Le rassemblement était produit, non point par l’attente d’un homme
qu’on devait pendre, mais par la contemplation d’un pendu. La voiture,
arrêtée un instant, reprit donc sa marche, traversa la foule, continua son
chemin, enfila la rue Saint-Honoré, tourna la rue des Bons-Enfants et
s’arrêta devant une porte basse.
