This library, one of the richest in Paris, formerly belonged to the

Count d'Artois. It is destined for the _Conservative Senate_, in

whose palace a place is preparing for its reception. However, it is

thought that this removal cannot take place in less than a year and a

half or two years. It has acquired little since the revolution, and

is frequented less than the other libraries, because it is rather

remote from the fashionable quarters of the town. There are few

inquisitive persons in the vicinity of the Arsenal; and indeed, this

library is open only on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays of every

week from ten o'clock till two. AMEILHON, of the Institute, is

Administrator; and SAUGRAIN, Conservator.

Before I quit this library, you will, doubtless expect me to say

something of the place from which it derives its appellation; namely,
