strongly when we come out of the quadrangle by the east entrance, and then look back on Perrault's front. In all the alterations executed about the palaces nobody has ever touched that front ; and, indeed, it is evidently one of those works that do not admit of change.

Until our own time this west front looked upon an accidental agglomeration of the commonest dwelling- houses, which filled what are now the Squares du Louvre and the Place du Carrousel.
