COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, JAN. 1, 1800] [Illustration: JULIEN HOUSE.] =Julien's Restorator=, corner of Congress and Milk streets. One of the most ancient buildings in Boston, when taken down in 1824, it having escaped the great fire of 1759. It stood in a grass-plot, fenced in from the street. It was a private dwelling until 1794. Then Jean Baptiste Julien opened in it the first public eating-house to be established in Boston, with the distinctive title of "Restorator,"--a crude attempt to turn the French word _restaurant_ into English. Before this time such places had always been called cook-shops. Julien was a Frenchman, who, like many of his countrymen, took refuge in America during the Reign of Terror. His soups soon became famous among the gourmands of the town, while the novelty of his _cuisine_ attracted custom. He was familiarly nicknamed the "Prince of Soups." At Julien's death, in 1805, his widow succeeded him in the business, she carrying it on successfully for ten years. The following lines were addressed to her successor, Frederick Rouillard: JULIEN'S RESTORATOR. I knew by the glow that so rosily shone Upon Frederick's cheeks, that he lived on good cheer; And I said, "If there's steaks to be had in the town, The man who loves venison should look for them here." 'Twas two; and the dinners were smoking around, The cits hastened home at the savory smell, And so still was the street that I heard not a sound But the barkeeper ringing the _Coffee-House_ bell. "And here in the cosy _Old Club_,"[4] I exclaimed, "With a steak that was tender, and Frederick's best wine, While under my platter a spirit-blaze flamed, How long could I sit, and how well could I dine!
