Note 168 — LECTURE X. FRENCH ART IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.

O. W. (Orlando Williams) Wight translation

Lenoir, Musée des Monuments Français, vol. v., p. 87-91, and the Musée Royale des Monuments Français of 1815, p. 98, 99, 108, 122, and 140. This wonderful monument, erected to Henri de Bourbon, at the expense of his old intendant Perrault, president of the Chambre des Comptes, was placed in the Church of the Jesuits, and was wholly in bronze. It must not be confounded with the other monument that the Condés erected to the same prince in their family burial-ground at Vallery, near Montereau, in Yonne. This monument is in marble, and by the hand of Michel Anguier; see the description in Lenoir, vol. v., p. 23-25, and especially in the Annuaire de l' Yonne pour 1842, p. 173, etc.
