THE PALACE OF VERSAILLES HISTORICAL MUSEUM It was mere chance which transformed the marshy forest where v the seigneurs of Versailles had built their feudal manor, into a magnificent palace and park. Man's genius has taken advantage of every undulation of the ground and converted it into vast but regularly designed pleasure grounds coutaining water works of unrivalled magnitude and canals, to supply which much science has been displayed, avenues of regal length, and woods which have attained immense height and age. It would have startled Hugo de Versaillis, the cotemporary o( our first Capelian kings, had he been assured that a time would come when Europe itself would visit his estate and there do hommage “to the great monarch who collected so many chefs-d'œuvre of art around him. He little dreamt that the soumis of revelry and feasting the elo- quence of Bossuet and Massillon, the deep tones of the organ in the iGorgeous chapel, would one day replace the tolling of the bells be- ; longing to the little priory of Saint-Julien, which solitary sound disturbed the echos of the valley of Versailles. > The seigneurs as well as his descendants, on their return from' slighting in Italy under their sovereign's standard, or from skir- . mishing in Spain with the moors, or from attacks on the Normans : returned to the Ile de France, and thanking Saint- Julian for thesuc- f cess of their arms, hunted in the w'oods where now stands the palace and park. , The treachery by which Martial de Leomenie, Lord of Versailles, became the victim of Gondi marshal of Retz is well known, as veil as the intrigues by which he was forced to give up his property to the latter in the hope of thus securing his power ful protection and ^escaping the massacres of Saint-Bartholomeus. Notwithstanding ? which Gondi murdered him on the 28 of August, and at the fête ol > Saint Julien had himself acknowledged the rightfal feudal lord, : sitting in Lomenie’s place and under his dais. In 162-4, Louis XIII ordered Jacques Lemercier his architect to build the chateau, of which the filial piety of Louis XIII had pre- 6 served a portion which is now in the cour de marbre, on the spoi where he had often rested after a days hunting in an humble lodgf near a mill, Mansart in obedience to his sovereign’s orders has placed this curious fragment, as a jewel in the centre of the splen- did setting his genius devised and created. Louis XIII. resided part of the year at Versailles and the resta Saint-Germain where he died 14 march 1643. j Louis XIV was born the 5 septembre 1638 of Saint-Germain anc 1 visited the chateau for the first time, 18 april 1631 , after which h( ! often returned there for the purpose of hunting. En 1664 « Molièn I gave the first grand fête of Versailles with his troupe » , to act om i of his comedies ; the subject was, les plaisirs de Vile enchantée , the Æ poet Benserade and the president de Perigny wrote the reci w tative in verse. r Lulli composed the music and directed the ballet, the Italian ar- tist Vi gar an i, undertook the decorations, the illuminations and the fireworks. At the same time la princesse d 1 Elide and les Fâcheua by Molière. Fêtes and entertainments succeeded each other at Versailles where Louis XIV ordered immense works to be commenced by his architects Levau, Dorbay and Mansart. The grand gallery wa: begun in the wing called des princes, in 1675, Mansart built tm great and small stables in 1680 and on the 6 of may 1682, Louis XN inhabited the new chateau for the first time. Mansart, Lebrun, Mignard, Houasse, Philippe de Champagne Puget, Couslou, Coysevox, Girardon, Le Hongre de Marsy, L< Notre, have all contributed to the creation of this regal dwelling where the magnificent king hirnself always surrounded by a cour compose of beautiful women and brilliant nobles. , The doge of Genoa*, the ambassador Vateville , deputies fron \ , Algiers, etc., all arrived from their different countries to pay hin ^homage. It was absurd of the doge of Genoa to say that his greates ^surprise at Versailles was to see himself there, he could not have re /sisted the fascination which all the dazzling splendour of the court threw around the spectators. The memoirs of the time inform us lha on the 15 of may 1485 Louis XIV had his throne placed at the end o the great gallery, which is nearest to the saloon of Peace. Af twelv< o’clock the state apartments and the gallery were crowded. Th< doge entered with four senators whom the republic had sent to ac company him. His costume was of crimson velvet ; he wore a caj of the same material. The four senators wore dresses of black vel- vet and caps to match. In order to preserve as much dignity as hi* misfortune allowed of, the doge remained covered while speaking K the king. The king permitted the princes to remain covered during the au dience. The doge accomplished his humiliating mission with adi mirable sell possession, liis proud and dignified manner impressed the audience even more forcibly than the address he delivered, at the conclusion he took of his velvet cap, the princes, to show their respect for the king followed his example. After the king had replied, each senator spoke in turn. They had stood un covered while the doge spoke, and during their speeches, he remained with his cap in his hand. The doge of Genoa was treated not as a sovereign but a plenipo- tentiary. When he took leave, the king presented him with a magnificent box in which his portrait was mounted , he did the same to each of the senators and also presented to them splen- did gobelin tapestries. Historic annals have recorded the remarkable scenes which took place in this sumptuous palace, enlarged by Gabriel and Peyre. It owes its fame to the monarch who ordered its astonishing magnificence, to the artists who so perfectly executed his designs, and to the historic events which took place there. Our limited space prevents our doing more than alluding to them, as we merely aim at offering a hand book to visitors who may wish for a guide through this immense edifice. We shall notice, the former occupants of each apartment now al- tered into galleries of painting, and by a number corresponding to the numbers on the place, the reader will be able to trace their pre- sent destination. PALACE OF VERSAILLES The palace consists of a central building and two wings which extend along one side of the park. Its length is four hundred and twenty five metres and on the eastern facade it covers a space of six hundred metres, from ihe place d armes the stranger is struck I with admiration for its grandeur, although its whole extent cannot I be seen from that spot. The gate, which is one hundred and seventeen metres in length is divided into eleven parts by pillars surmounted by gilt ornament! among which a lyre and fleurs de lis are most prominent. The arm,® of France occupy the centre. Four groups of statue, placed at each side represent, on to right. \° Victorious France at the time of the empire. 2° Peace by July on the left. France victorious over Spain. 3° Abundance by Coysevox. Two wings called des ministres , complete the square of the grand court, in the middle of which is placed an equestrian statue of Louis XIV, by Petitot (The horse is by Cartellier). This court is or- namented by sixteen statues, each four metres in height. They represent : 8 ON THE RIGHT. Richelieu , by Ramey. Bayard, by Montoni. Colbert, by Milhomme. Jourdan, by Espercieux. Masséna, by Espercieux. Tourville , by Marin. Bnguay-Trouin , by Dupasquier. Turenne , by Gois. ON THE LEST. Suger , by Stouf. Duguesclin , by Bridan, Sully, by Espercieux. Lannes , by Callamard.

On the left is the court of Princes; on the right the court of the chapel, on each side are two modern pavillions with Co- rinthian pillars. On the frontispiece is the inscription « A toutes les gloires de la France . Between these pavillions is the cour royale . The part of this court nearest the centre is called the cour de marbre , from its being paved with marble. Louis Xlll erected a theatre in his part of the palace, where Lulli and Quinaulfs opéras were played. The fêtes given here, have heen drawn and engraved by Lepautre. The engravings are to be seen at the depot of imperial Chalcogra- phy in the museum of the Louvre. They are perfect representations of the appearance of la cour de marbre. The façades which surround this court are the original views of the old chateau built by Jacques Lemercier. Louis XIY added the vases trophys, statues and busts. The stone statues on the balustrades are : ON THE RIGHT. Magnificence , by G. Marsy. Justice, by Coy se vox. Wisdom, by Girardon. Prudence , by Masson. Diligence , by Raon. Peace, by Legros.

The clock which is placed over the central façade (of the old building) was stopped three limes; the motion less hands, according to ancient custom, marked the hour of Louis XIlFs death , then of Louis XV’s and of the death ot Louis XVIII This ceremony was performed for the last time on tha* occasion. On the 6 October 1789, the people of Paris, exasperated by the scenes which nad taken place during the banquet given to the guards in the opera-house, marched on Versailles. Marie-Antoinette, appeared on the balcony of the first floor accompanied by Madame and the Dauphin.There was a shout of; No children! The queen un- daunted by the danger which this shout so clearly foretold, advanced alone, and unattended. Lafayette presently appeared, and placing 3 himself next to her, appeased the rage of the mob... The next shout was for the king, who showed himself at once. He replied to the ery of the mob the king must come to Paris, » that he would accede to their wish confiding all he most dearly prized to the care of his good and faithful subjects. The royal family left the chateau at one in the after- noon, since that day the palace has been uninhabited. THE CHAPEL N° i she the plan The chapel is erected on the right of the spot where formerly .the grotto of Thetis existed, which has since been placed in khe Bosquet d’Apollon. The chapel attached to the ancient chateau of Louis XIII, situated near the marble staircase, was des- troyed , Louis XIV rebuilt it, on the ground now occupied by the salle Id'Hercule under Madame de Maintenons influence, Mansart remo- ved the grotto, which Girardon had adorned with statues in very doubtful taste, whose beauties however Lafontaine has sung, and he constructed the present chapel, this was his last work, it is a chef - d'œuvre f and has escaped uninjured through so many revolutions, lhat one is surprised to learn it required but slight retouching and cleaning to restore it to its original freshness. One is struck by the purity of the Corinthian columns which adorn the exterior, and by the beauty of the architraves of the large windows, on which are sculptured children bearing the symbols of the catholic faith. These sculptures are by Juby, Offement, Armand Defer, Bourdict, Raon, Grettepin, Yigier, Rousseau, de Corbeil, de Dieu, François and Yoiriot. The upper balustrade is ornamented by twenty stone eight statues each three feet high those on the side of the park repre sent saint Thomas and saint James the lesser, by Manière. Saint James the grater, by Théodin and saint André also by him. Saint- Paul et saint Peter by Poirier, saint Jerome and saint Augustin, by Coustou , saint gregory and saint Ambroise by Lepautre on the edge, the four evangelists by Yan Clève, on the north Saint-Basile and saint Athanasius by Poultier; saint Chrysostome by Flamen, saint Gregory of Naziance by Hurtrel, saint Philippe and saint Bartholomeus by Flamen, saint Simon and saint Jude by Lemoine, saint Barnabe by Bourdict, saint Mathias by Lapierre. The upper drnaments are of lead, originally gilt, at each end there are two groups of angels, by Lepautre and Coustou. & The elegance and beauty of the decoration of the interior is unri- valled. The grand altar is of marble and gilt bronze, the altars and side chapel are richly adorned by bas reliefs, from the chisel of Coiis- tou, Adam the alder, Yinache, Bouchardon; Lepautre, and Siodtz. 40 The paintings are by Jouvenet,Coypel has painted the ceiling. The subject is : the glory of the Eternal Father. La Fosse has placed in the apsis the resurrection of our saviour and the descent of the Holy Spirit, by Jouvenet,is a master piece, placed over the king's pew which is in the gallery opposite the grand altar. In former days, Gorgeous ceremonies added their lustre, to ali this magnificence. Several royal marriages look place here among others. The Duke of Berri , grand son of Louis XIV and Ma demoiselle d’Orleans, the Duke of Bourbon and Mademoiselle de Conti, the Prince of Conti and mademoiselle de Bourbon, Madame, eldest daughter of Louis XV and Don Philippe, Infant of Spain, the Duke of Chartres and Mademoiselle de Conti, the Dauphin and the Infanta of Spain, the Dauphin (Louis XVI) and the Archiduchess Marie-Antoinette. In all these fêtes , royal pomp dit not always yield to divine majesty and we abstain from entering in to the details of etiquette required even in the chapel. Saint-Simon tells us, that Louis XIV insisted on his courtiers imitating his devotion, and would not permit them to attend to the external forms of their reli- gion less punctually than he did himself. To illustrate this, he relates an amusing story which several authors have quoted. It appears that the major of the guards Brissac was of a peculiarly ft*ank dis- position and detested hypocrisy. He had remarked, that even on the coldest winter days the benches were filled by ladies every Thurs- day and Sunday. On which days the king was most punctual in his attendance at the salut, and that if on the contrary, he was preven- ted from appearing, the attendance of ladies was remarkably small , under the pretence of requiring light to read their missals these ladies had each a small taper lighted in front of their prie- Dieu, by which likewise, they were more easily recognised. One evening when the king was really expected, the benches were fil- led to overflowing, the guards were at their posts as usual; when \ suddenly major Brissac appeared in front of the king's empty pew and raising his stick, shouted to the Guards, to with draw, his majesty ! will not he present to day. The order was scarcely obeyed when a I murmur was heard among the ladies, the tapers suddenly were extin- I guished, and with the exception of a few who were simerely pious the whole congregation disappeared. When Brissac felt quite cer- tain that they had really gone, he recalled the guards. The king almost immediately arrived, very much surprised to find so many empty benches, and inquired the reason Brissac instantly related the trial to which he had put the piety of the fair dames, of his majes- ty's court, on which the king and his attendants laughed heartily. The major however brave though he undoubtedly was, never ven- tured again to appear alone on the ladies side, least they should execute some terrible vengeance. THE PALACE & PARK OF VERSAILLES & TRIANON TWENTY SIX VIEWS EDITOR’S OF THE IDITOR(*) Several works have been published on the historical galleries of Versailles, the collection de Havard is the most remarkable. The views, drawn an pantographe, are most correctly executed; but the, engravings being done with black pencils are not as interesting as prints which have been engraved from drawings and paintings, whose artistic merit and picturesque effect complete the illu- sion. The size and high price of this collection, make it naturally quite unalainable, except to librarians and amateurs. Some smaller works have been published, chiefly with illustra- tions on wood or steel, some very beautiful, others of an inferior stamp, and only giving imperfect impressions to the visitors of the Palace and Museum. While endeavouring to offer to the public some views of the most remarkable parts of the palace and galleries, we have tried also to unite the requisite conditions : talented and faithful sketches, in a portable form, and of a very moderate price. Fourteen engravings have been executed on wood, from pho- tographies by our celebrated engravers Best and Hotelin. Twelve prints, by the same artists have been taken of the parks of Versailles and Trianon. (*) The Album with twenty six engravings, which is a necessary accom- paniment to this work, are sold by its editor. PLAN OF THE GROUND FLOOR NORTHERN WING. 1. Chapel. 2.

STAIRCASE OF THE NORTHERN WING N° 14 On this staricase are placed the marble busts of Louis A/F, Colbert , Mansart , élibien (historiographer of the buildings of the king). THEATRE OF THE PALACE N° 15. This salle is very magnificent. Molière, Racine, Qainault, Lulli, had only had the honor of being represented on theatres improvised either in the marble court or in the bosquets of the gardens. Louis XV had this salle constructed to please Madame de Pompadour, who was passionately fond of theatricals, but who died before it was completed. Begun in 1753, on the plan of the architect Gabriel, and finished 1776, it was inaugurated at the fêtes given on the occasion of the marriage of Louis XVI and Marie- Antoinette. The opera of Versée by Quinauit and Lulli, Athalie with the choruses, Tancrede and Semiramis by Voltaire were represented; an opera called A line Queen of Golconda, was played there in 1777, before the emperor Joseph II. Twelve years later, on the 1 of October 1789, a ball and banquet, given by the gardes-du- corps to the officers of the regiment de Flanders, caused the riotsthat led to the fatal days of the 5 and 6 of October. The secret object of this fête, to which the officers of the national guard of Versailles had been invited was to excite the loyalty of the officers of the regiment of Flanders who had lately arrived at Versailles, 32 A horse shoe table, was laid for three hundred on the stage : — the mu sicians of the regiments were in the orchestra; and the soldiers who ha< fraternised, were in the pit : numerous spectators were admitted withou tickets to fill the boxes. Towards the end of the fêle , the king and queei accompanied by the Dauphin and his sister appeared in the royal box just as the orchestra was playing the air of: O Richard , O monroi l’univers f abandonne ! They were received with enthusiasm, and th( orchestra struck up the air of ihe Déserteur : Peut-on affliger ce qu’oi aime? The excitement was at its height ;some young men of the national guard to show their contempt for the civil uniform, tore off their tricoloj rosettes. The crowd, escorted the royal family back to their apartments. The enthusiasm was immense: the people danced under the windows: of the king uttering threats of death against his enemies. The report of this banquet, of the threats uttered against the assem bly, the famine that then prevailed exasperated the Parisians win rushed out to Versailles, headed by Lafayette, who accompanied th< insurrection in order to restrain it. In our description of the marbh court, we have given an account of the scenes that took place there and which were followed by the departure of the royal family Iron the palace. At the opening of the Museum the king Louis-Philippe had the Mi santhrope , two acts of Robert -le-Diable, and a work of Scribe repre- sented therein his presence. In 1848, the members of the provisiona government had a concert given there. A charity ball organised by tin national guard, also took place there. On the 12 of July 1855, tin queen of England, prince Albert and the princes of the royal family supped in the ro^al box with the emperor Napoleon III, the empress prince Napoleon, and the princess Mathilde.

If the visitor wishes to examine in detail this second floor, he ought to piocure thti notice of the Museum (Notice du Musée). The visit to the palace once terminated, you go out by the vestibule of the chapel and passing under the vault, you enter the park. PARK OF VERSAILLES GARDENS. — The gardens are divided into squares, formed by alleys, quincuns, bosquets, sheets of water, statues and pieces of architecture all of which must admire connaisseurs. This squares are indicated on the Plan, by alphabetical letters as are also the different sheets of water, the sculpture and the architecture con- tained in those squares. SQUARE A. — THE ORANGERY AND THE SHEET OF Rater Called des suisses. — The parterre of the orangery, the principal gates of the Park and the two great flights of stairs (called dea Cent Marches) lead to the upper terrace. — *56 — * The orangery contains the finest collection of orange-trees in the world i a fountain is in the centre of four squares of grass and flowers. Some ot the orange-trees are very ancient ; and the oldest is also the finest; if tra*^ dition is correct, it is upwards of four hundred years old. Planted in 1521 by a princess of Navarre, who gave it to Anne of Britan- ny, it became the property of the constable of Bourbon, and then passed to Francis I, when that seigneur’s property was confiscated. ) The building of the orangery consists 'in a gallery hundred and sixty metres long by thirteen metres broad. In a niche made in the wall is a sta- tue of Louis XIV, in a Roman costume ; it was given to king by the duke of Lafeuillade, who had it made by Desjardins, to decorate the place des Victoires the Paris. Besides this principal gallery, there are two others, one hundred and twenty metres long each. From the terrace and the balustrade which overlook those galleries can be seen the dome of the cathédral, the roots of the palace, the seminary j and heights of Satory, the sheet of water des Suisses, the alleys which I border it ; and at the other end, is the statue of Louis XIV, the unsucces- ful work of the itaiian sculptor, knight Bernin, which had been brought to Paris, at great expense; some flames were thrown round the horse, and Louis XIV was turned into Marcus Curtius, and then the statue was sent into exile. SQUARE B and C,-S©IITIIEM PARTERRE. — Under this parterre and under the upper part of the flight of steps des Gent Marches, extended the green house of the orangery, an immense work of architec* ture ; two fountains are placed in. the centre of four alleys, ornamented with grass and with design in box. At the extremity, in front of the left wing of the palace, is the bronze sta- tue of Napoléon I, and lower down, in the same direction in the equestrian statue of the duke of Orléans, by Marochetti, which was taken from the cour of Louvre, in 3 848. PARTERRE D’EAlSJ (WATER). — Oblong sheets of water com- posing this parterre would not have been placed there but for the dryness of the soil, on account of its great height; twenty four groups in bronze, re- presenting rivers, nereides, mermaids, adorn these two bassins. They were designed by Lebrun and cast by the brothers Keller. The astonishment of visitors would be still greater, if they were allo- wed to go over the vast subterranean passages that contain the pipes, which carry water to the park. We Can well assert that the enormous sums which were lavished to adorn the soil above ground do not greatly exceed the cost of the hydraulic works hidden under ground. At the angles of the terrace, which serves as bases to the central part of the building, are placed two vases of great beauty : the one on the right, is the work of Coysevox, and represents the victory gained over the Turk’s in Hungarie by our arms. The one on ( the left is by Tuby, and it repre- sents the conquests made in Flanders. Four bronzes figures, Apollo, Bacchus, Antinous and Silene are placed against the facade. Those statues were cast by the brothers Keller. Then come the two great sheets of water, the description of which accompany the engraving. The left of this parterre is ornamented by twelve vases and two marble sphynxs, on which are mounted two bronze Cupids by Duval. — 157 — the end the balustrade of the southern Darters • tiful statue of Cléopâtre sleeping, the work of Vandeve d ' 1S a beau- P? 1 u 6 rigb J : ste ^ s ^ ead i fl g to the northern parterre * are nl«A n ted by beautiful vases, on each side of the staircase’ are n .ho warned Kero of the conspira,* laid hi„“ y ota'^S'*' KOBTHIERS PARTERRE _ Three fount-.:™ .i, sheaves of water, in the midst of which Tritons »?,!?« throw up immense et le Hongre).

Three groups are placed near the wall which forms the highest side of this bassin. The middle one is by Adam senior , it represents Neptune a^j Amphi trite, seated in a shell, surrounded by horses and sea monsters which throw out a prodigeous quantity of water ; the two other groups re- present : Océan, father of rivers, by Lemoine, and Proteus, his son, by Boucharclon. On each side are dragons, carrying Cupido, spouting out jets d’eau, these remarkable groups are also by Bouchardon. This bassin is surmounted by a grassy amphitheatre, on which a great crowd assembles on the days when the grand-water works play he whole forms a beautiful and curious coup d'œil. In the middle of the alley sur- i rounding the amphitheatre is a statue representing Fame writing the his- tory of Louis XIV, and trampling on Envy ; this piece of sculpture is the \ work of Guidi. Two other statues ornament this alley ; Berenice, by Lespm - / gola ; and the empress Faustina, by Rr emery . SQUARE F. - This square is formed by a beautiful grassy carpel and by alleys indicated on the plan ; four figures copied from the antique border this lawn; and close to the hedges are busts mounted on small pe destals In the centre of the alley which leads to square R, is a small bassin where exquisite figures of children play in the water. The other alleys ar( ornamented by different groups and statues : Pan, teaching Syrina to plaj the flute : Bacchus, by Coustou ; Marsyas, teaching Olympus to play th( flute, by Goy , a bust of Antinous, the favorite of the emperor Adrian ; ant two Termes representing wise men of antiquity. In the rond-point sépara ting square F from square M is the fountain of Ceres. This goddess is sur rounded by children and sheaves of wheat; this group designed by Lebrui was executed by Regnaudin. SQUARE G. — THE BATHS OF aPOWLO. — This bosque is composed of winding alleys all couverging to a grassy lawn ; from whicl rises an artificial but most picturesque rock. . It represents the mouth of a deep grotto, over which cascades fall into ; bassin, which seems hewn out of the rock. At the entrance of this grotto 1 Apollo surrounded by Thetis and the Océan nymphs, who all hasten to re fresh him, and bring him food this splendid group, is from the chisel o Girardon , under Louis XIV, it was the principal ornament of the group o Thetis ; then placed where the chapels is now ; Perrault designed the arcln tecture and Lebrun the figures. Girardon, rival of Coysevox, sculptured tli principal group La Fontaine has celebrated in a poem this delicious grotto hich vanished, when Louis XIV, made religious, by Madame de Main wnon, ordered it to be demolished, andin its stead appeared the splendi. chapel, which is till so beautiful. On the right and left of the group c Apollo, are two groups, representing the horses of the sun s chariot ; tn one on the right is by Guérin ; the other on the lett by Marsy, THE FOUNTAIN OF LATONA. — Between the squares G and H the pasin ofLatona, the twoflightsof steps leading to it, and the two Ion and slobing alleys which surround it. On the upper part of this parterre are eight splendid vases from the an- tique; in the middle is the fountain, surmounted by a pedestal on which ire placed Latona and her children, Apollo and Diana, who hide under llieir mother’s mantle. The goddess invokes the vengeance of Jupiter against the boorish peasants, who refused to give her a draught of water to refresh herself. The peasants, who for the most part are being changed to frogs, thrown round the Goddess jets d’eau, surrounding her with a veil of water which producies a charming effect. On each side of the lower part of this par- terre are gardens and flower s plots and orange-trees. At the extremities of the sloping alleys are first-rate copies on the left of the dying Gladiator by Mosnier ; on the right of the nymph of the shell, by Coysevox. Eigthteen statues ornament two sloping alleys , on the left : the muse Erato, Fire, the king Tiridate, Vénus Callipyge, Siienus holding the infant Bacchus, Antinous, Mercury, a muse and Apollo; on the right : Melancholy, Anti- nous, king Tigran, a young Faun, Bacchus, Geries, the emperor Commo- dius, a muse and Ganymede. From the terrace is seen in beautiful vie- wot the Tapis vert (the green carpet), the chariot of Apollo, and the canal in his extense. SQUARE H. — THE BALL R©»M (Or the Rock-Work). A grassy amphitheatre, surround’s a second amphitheatre formed of shells and co- loured stones; over which sheets of water fall in a cascade, from vases placed on the upper part. Eight great candelabras are placed round the cascade, and when lit up illuminates^effect the water to such a degree that the effect is quite dazzling. It is here the duchess of Burgundy enjoyed balls most. Nothing seemed to please her so much as this light, produced by fire and water and as the music caused by designed instruments and rippling water. This beautiful bosquet was by Le Nôtre. SQUARE I. — The queen’s bosquet fills up this square, it is composed of alleys and labyrinths planted with rare exotics. In this middle is a hall of grass, in which is placed a bronze copy of Venus de Medicis, opposite a bronze gladiator. Four vases adorn the hall in the angles of Venus de Me- dicis, opposite a bronze corps of the gladiator. Four vases adorn this hall in the angles of which are grass’y nooks where are placed richly a domed seats, at the angle of this square which corresponds to the squares K L and H, is a rond-point where is a group by Marsy, representing Bacchus sur- rounded by little grape gatherers. SQUARE K. — EE BA§SIŒ HU MsROlR. — The shape of this bassin reminds one of certain mirrors used in the sixtenth and seventeenth centuries. A grassy slope surrounds this bassin, where ancient carps, the favorites of passers-by, swim about and receive every day some mark of thoir bounty. The upper alley is adorned with vases" and statues, at the point of intersection between the alleys R, Q and H, is a bassin in the mid- dle of which Saturn is represented playing with shells. This beautiful group is by Girardon. SQUARES L» and M. — The squares L and M are composed of two , quincunces, each of which contain eight marble termes, eight are placed near the hedges and four in the angles of the grassplot in the middle, this termes represent Alcinoüs crowned with leaves, a Bacchante holding grapes — 1 60 — and arranging her hair. Hercules holding the horn of Amaltea, a Jannus holding figs, on Nymph of Flora, Hercules holding his club and the appels of Hesperides and an Autumn. Square M is arranged in the same manner as L. The termes with whiclS,' it is adorned are near the hedges, Winter covered with fur, Cybele crowned with wheat; which slightly ressembles madame de Montesp'an. At the an- gles of the grass plot, a young Faunus adorning himself with naivy wreath* Abondance Sylvus crowned with pine apples, and Flora crowned with flo- wers and holdinga wreath. | The tapis vert extends to the middle of the squares L, M. Q and P. At the four sides of this circle where this tapis (carpet) begins are placed four groups, those of L represent, first Castor and Pollux, chefs-d’œuvre of Coy- sevox. The second, Poetus killing himself with the same dagger as his wife Arria killed herself. Those of M represent, the first group, the young Pa- J pira and his mother. Papira having followed his father to the senate was ' questioned by his mother as to what had happened. This young man had recourse to a lie rather than reveal secrets. The senate admiring his discretion, allowed him to be for the future the only child admitted. The second group represents Laocoon and his chil- dren. On each side of the tapis vert, vases of great value, separate splendid vases, which are, on the sides L and Q, Fable, Venus leaving her bath, Cyparissa carrying a kid by Legros, an Amazon by Burnet. Achillis at the court of Lycomède by Vigier. Dido by Pouletier. The statues on the sides of P are Arthemise holding the urn in which are enclosed the ashes of Mau- soleus her husband. Cyparissus chaining with flowers her favorite kid, a copy of Venus de Medicis, one of the Hesperides, the emperor Commo- dius in the power of Hercules by Jouvenet, Thiering by Lecomte. At the. entrance of the tapis vert is a small guard-room belanging to claset the guardians : they are permitted to show strangers places to the public. SQUARE N. — This square is traversed by an alley in the midst ofjj which is a green hall; five other alleys form a pentagone, surrounding by‘ alleys lesser the grassy salon. This circular part is called the labyrinth. Six figures are placed in the angles of the pentagone, they are very remarkable and represent : Ganymede and Jupiter transformed into on eagle, by Laviron ; a dancing Faunus holdinga bunch of graphes, by Hurtelle. Apollo, a muse, Mercury and a Bacchante. At the rond-point formed by the angles of this square, and by those of the squares M, P and O, is a bassin in the midst of which is an admirable figure of Flora surroun- ded by children, and holding wreaths of flowers. This group is by Tuby, trom drawings by Lebrun. SQUARE O. — BASSINT DE I/OBEEISQUE. — The jets which rise from this basin, commonly called the hundred tubes , on account of tho numerous jets which spring from a kind of obelisk ; they fall in sheets of water, on the stairs, into a canal which surrounds this basin. SQUARE P and Q. — These squares are traversed by the upper part of the tapis-vert. The square P contains the bassin of the Cyclop ; the giant is represented half covered by masses of rocks of mount Ossa and^ mount Olympus, which he and his brothers had accumulated in order to" ascend to heaven; the giants figure is very fine it is by Marsy. — 161 — The masses of rocks near the giant, are not effective, as for such a subject to be well treated, immense space would be necessary. The bosquet des Dômes is close to the square M, it formerly contained two pavillions, the roofs of which were in the shape of a dome, in the centre is a basin of a hexagonal shape, surrounded by a gilt balustrade, ornamented with basso-relievos. Eight statues ornament this bosquet, Am- phitrite, Arion playing on his lyre, Day, a daughter of Nereus, the nymph Galatea, the shepherd Acis, Jno, daughter of Cadmus, a nymph of Diana. It is a pity this bosquet is not open to the public, as the eight statues are all chef-d’œuvre. A diagonal alley traverses square P and from it is a view of the bassin of Apollo. TOE COliOHHTADE. — Under Louis XIV, concerts were given here in summer. White marble arcades are overshadowed by green tress. This was a favorite spot of Lully, the great compositor, who thought it particularly suited to his music. The peristyle which is circular is com- posed of thirty two precious marbles, twelve of Languedocian marble, and twelve of dark blue marble. Jets d’eau rise from thirty small white narble bassins placed under arcades. The key-stones of the archs are >rnamented by the most exquisite figures of children, are and by Matière . Grenier , le Hongre , Lecomte and Coysevox. In the centre is the famous groupe of Girardon representing the rape of Proserpina ; it is a complete dief-d’œuvre ; the basso-relievos on the pedestal, equal in beauty the prin- cipal group. Every body knows the fable : Pluto, wishing to see by his own ;yes the disasters caused by earth-quake’s in Sicily, visited that island. In i solitary glade he met Proserpina, daughter of Ceres and Jupiter, gathe- ing flowers. He loved her at first sigh, and carryed her off. Cyana vainly ried to prevent the rape of her beloved friend, she drew on herself Pluto’s vrath, and was turned into a fountain. The salle des Antiques (of the antiquités) is also a part of this square. It is grassy plat round which are placed eight busts, Annibal, Octavius, ►everus, Antonius , Marcus-Aureluis, Otho, Apollo, Alexander. On each side are statues of Meleagre and Antinous. From a diagonal ai- ey which traverses this square we again see the basin of Apollo. In the long alley which separates square L, M, Q and P in front of the osquet des Domes and of Colonade are placed two vases of most beau- iful workmanship. They are ornamented by trophys, by instruments for ountry and warlike music, by wreaths of flowers and rams head all of diich are carved with exquisite delicacy. QUARE R. — On this site was formerly a small and by no means icturesque island; Louis XVIII ordered a garden to be planted in its stead, l imitation of the one of the chateau of Hartwell where the prince lived du- ing the emigration. It is called jardin du roi (Garden of the king) .The public s allowed in at certain hours, but from the outside we can always admire the tagic effect of its rich and varried plots; the most exquisite flowers, the arest trees, all make this garden a little Paradise; fountains throw up early jets d’eau, which constantly refresh the grass and flowers, and reen like springs. At the bottom of this rich parterre is a marble pillar urmounted by a bronze figure of Flora. Behind thp garden in the alley irrounding it are colossal statues of Flora and Hercules. — 162 — ^ SQUARE 8 aad T. — île BASSIN d’âPOUO^.- This basin is half enclosed by a grass plot which reaches the great canal. In the middle, Apollo is represented driving his chariot drauwn by four horses, and surrounded by tritons, whales and dolphins who mingle theit t numerous water spouts with the three principal jets d’eau, the middle one is 19 meters in height like other. The groups, etc., are by Baptiste Tuby after drawings by Lebrun. On the left in the hémicycle which surrounds this basin, a group repre- enting Melicertes and Ino, by Granier is to be seen, the U terms which accompagny this group are the god Pan, Flora, Bacchus and Pomona. On the right is a group representing Aristeus binding Proteus, by Stodtz, and h terms which represent the nymph Syrinx, Jupiter, Juno and Vertumna.; Twelve statues adorn the alleys S and T; those of the alley S represent Cicero, a leader of a Gymnaseum, Love, Matera, or goddess to whom Jupiter. Was entreested during his infancy, Hercules and a supplicating slave. The figures of alley T represent Hercules, an acolyta, a young Bacchus, Or- pheus, Clytea and Gleopatre. The alleys S and T each lead to a gate, the left leading to St-Cyr the right to Trianon, or to the woods which surround it. THE TRIANONS. — The Trianons have a different origin ; the grand Trianon dates from the reign of Louis XV. Trianon was the name of a village on the site of which was built the pa- lace. The king having realised his great dream Versailles, tired of all its pomps, and if we believe Saint-Simon, the historian of this splendid court: « Weary of the splendour and of tumult, was at last convinced that he sometimes required solitude and quiet. » A small but elegant chateau, cal- led the palace of Flora, had been built ner the gardens ; in its place a marble palace was built which was named from the village it replaced, the chateau is in the italian style, it is built in the ionic order, and though only possessing a rez de chaussée, the building is very fine. The pillars, the frise, and the pilasters are of Languedoc marble ; the capi-v tals are of wdrile marble. On entering the grand avenue, one see the pa- lace. A graceful and elegant gallery connects the side avenues, which look on the garden. The building is of great extent ; the southern wing is in the shape of a horse shoe, and has received the name of Trianon-sous-Bois , as it is surrounded by the woods which shade the gardens. Le Nôtre, expended on this garden ail the ressources of his art. Mi- gnard, Lebrun , Lafosse and the famous flower painter, Fontenay, de- signed it. The fine pictures of the park of Versailles which are now in the museum, then decorated the gallery of Trianon ; they are now replaced by pictures of different master’s. One picture is sup Marie Leczinska, queen of Louis XV. Napoléon has enriched those g&lleries with a service of China given by the emperor Alexander of Russia. After the death of the king, Versailles and Trianon were abandoned. The regency being over, the prime minister, cardinal Dubois, brought back, Louis XV and his court to Versailles ; it was then the mistresses of the young king suggested the small apartments and petits soupers ; and as they had contrived to divide large apartments into smaller ones so the little of Trianon, designed by the architect Gabriel, was built up be- hind the grand Trianon of Louis XIV and Mansart, in order to give an apartment to madame Dubarry. The palace of the petit Trianon consists of a square pavillion ; two sto- — 463 — ries high ; the staircase is very beautiful ; the rooms are richly decorated md well arranged : the offices and the chapel are entirely separated from Jhe palace. On ascending the throne, Louis XVI gave the petit Trianon to Marie- Antoinette. Micque, the architect of this princess setting a side the tradi- tions of Le Nôtre, designed this garden in the English style ; the rarest trees were collected and offered a piquant contrast to the formal hedges and quincuns of the great park. It was above all under the care of Bernard de Jussieu, protege of the count of Artois, that these exotics were planted with success. The celebrated Adanson, Boucher, under Louis XV, by his pictures and compositions, had given an arcadian coloring to the little Trianon. The queen begged the celebrated painter Robert to carry out Boucher’s idea, and soon an entire village (the suiss village) with its ma- nor, parsonnage, bailiff’s house, those of the farmers, gamekeeper’s and his cows, fowl, and sheep ladies dressed in gauze kerchiefs, straw hats, be- came its inhabitants. They lived in perfect solitude, for those who where invited seldom came from Versailles before the dinner hour. The king and queen regularly had supper in Malborough’s tower, which is on the left of the lake and which then was the music hall. Trianon had also its theatre. The king used to be present at the rehear- sals. Marie-Antoinette, M me Elisabeth, count d’Artois, were the principal ac- tors. Kings and foreign princes have made numerous pilgrimages to Tria- non. The Czar Peter-the-Great, came there during the regency; the king of Danemark, 1763; the king of Sweden, Gustavus III, towards 1780; the em- peror Joseph II; the grand duke of Russia, Paul I, went there. In our own dme, the queen of England, the grand duke Constantin, the king of Pied- mont, the archiduke of Austria, the king of Bavaria, all the illustrious visiters which the wise policy of Napoléon III has invited to visit France, have visited this residence of which many hare been jelous. Louis-Philip and his family often spent a short time in Trianon, where they had the sub- terraneous passages mede. In 4851, a new museum was established under the inspection of M. Questel, a very distinguished architect. All curiosities in the shape of harness and saddlery, uniforms worn at the various courts are to be seen : the coronation carriage of Napoléon I is there also that of Charles X. His a chef-d’œuvre of immense value which cost with the harness nearly 400,000 frs. and is well worth seeing. Three historic halls consecrated to Louis XVI, Napoleon and Charles X, also contain the carriages used during these various reigns. There are also sledges and chais of great value and little carriage belonging to the duke of Bordeaux. The museum also possesses a beautiful collection of arab saddles, bridles, stirrups, etc.; also arms of all sorts, daggers, pistols, ya- tagans, taken in Algeria or presented by arab chieftains who have bee ’, conquered by the French. 3 165 RENSEIGNEMENTS SUR LES SERVICES DES CHEMINS DE FER.
