THE CHURCH OF ST. OUEN, ROUEN, WEST VIEW. The Royal Abbey of St. Ouen enjoyed for many generations the veneration of tbe faithful. The foundation of the Monastery is generally ascribed to Clothair, in the year 535; but some authors would make it a hundred and thirty years older. The Church was at first dedicated to the Twelve Apostles; but in the year 689 the body of St. Ouen was deposited here, and numerous miracles were reported to have been performed at his tomb. In the year 1142, William, the Abbot, son of Richard the Second, Duke of Normandy, laid the foundation of a new church, which was completed eighty years afterwards by Abbot Bolet. Ten years later the Church and Abbey were burnt down. Richard Cceur de Lion readily embraced this opportunity to display his munificence, and proceeded to rebuild it; but in 1248 it was visited with another fire, and the whole was not completed, or rather brought to its present state, till the prelacy of Bohur, who died at the beginning of the sixteenth century. The west front, represented in the annexed Plate, is still imperfect. According to the original plan, it was to have been flanked by two magnificent towers, but they were raised only to the height of fifty feet. The Vignettes accompanying this Plate, represent an ancient Portal, at Rouen, and the Tower of the Church of St. Lawrence in that city.
