Description:Excerpt from The Rise and Fall of Louis Philippe, Ex-King of the French: Giving a History of the French Revolution, From Its Commencement, in 1789 The Palais Royal is to Paris what that metropolis is to Christendom - the centre of its pleasures and its political intrigues; nor is there, perhaps, another locality in the world, to which are attached so many and such varied associations. The spacious garden, with its surrounding colonnades, was long an arena for the free indulgence of every depravity which can stigmatize human nature - the stage upon which many a frightful interlude in the drama of revolution was enacted; and it is yet a forum where the popular voice first sounds the tocsin of discontent. At one extremity is the Palace itself, historically interesting to every one; for its ink-stained council tables have, for upwards of two hundred years, served as a fulcrum upon which the pen - that great political lever - has moved the destinies, not only of the nations of Europe, but of the Western Continent. It was at the Palais Royal that Cardinal Richelieu founded a company of an "Hundred Associates," for the purpose of planting a colony on the banks of the St. Lawrence, which was to extend its limits southward, and gradually exterminate the "heretic English at Plymouth," and "the Dutch" at New York, that the lilies of France might alone wave over the new world.
