The architecture of the palace of Nymphenburg is by no 

 means proportionate to the magnificence of the gardens ; but, 

 we believe, it is more intended as a simple country house, than 

 as a splendid regal residence. In the view of the entrance 

 front \jig' 104.), and in the plan (^^.99.), the multitude of 

 parts into which this palace and its dependent buildings are 

 divided, give the whole more the air of a market-place sur- 

 rounded by dwellings, than of a palace residence in the 

 country. This impression, however, is counteracted by the 

 trees, the long canal, and the grandeur of the jets d'eau.
