The Faubourgs retain their ancient names; but those of many of the streets have been changed in the course of the revolution.

Browning, its two most perfect exponents. His description of Lancret's Repas Italien, in which 'a dark-haired girl, "amorous of mischief," lies on the daisy-powdered grass, is in some respects very charming. Here is his account of 'The Crucifixion, by Rembrandt. It is extremely characteristic of his style:
The Faubourg St. Antoine, hearing of what was going on at the Theatre Italien, flocked together, and began to talk of marching towards the scene of action.
