This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  have  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 

We  also  ask  that  you:

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use.  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  countiy  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe.

PREFACE. 


Ok  the  First  of  June  The  Gentleman's  Magazine  will 
undergo  ui  entire  ch^uigi:.  It  will  appcur  in  a  new  cover,  under 
new  editorship,  and  at  One  Shilling,  instead  of  Half-a-crown  as 
heretofbre. 

Henceforth,  leaving  the  records  of  Learned  Societies  to  their 
own  pirticular  media.  The  Gentleman's  Macazlne  will  be  a 
work  of  general  literature.  In  a  man\y  and  healthy  tunej  it  will 
treat  of  everything  in  which  the  modeni  gentleman  is  interested. 
Dealing  with  his  spurts  and  pastimes  from  a  high  standard,  it  will 
discourse  pleasantly  of  the  Ans,  Music,  the  Drama,  and  Society. 
Fiction  of  the  best  class  will  be  duly  represented  -,  and  space  will 
be  allotted  to  Sylvanus  Urban  for  the  continued  publication  of 
ipectil  letters  from  his  numerous  correspondents. 

Judiciously  chosen  Memoirs  of  notable  men  will  link  still 
ftirthcr  the  present  with  the  past  history  and  character  of  this 
bmouf  periodical,  which,  it  is  hoped,  will  prove  as  useful  aiid 
rotertaining  to  this  new  generation  as  it  was  to  our  forefathers, 
when  Cave  the  Founder,  and  Johnson  the  Contributor,  were 
bimliar   friends   together. 

It  only  remains,  in  closing  this  the  last  volume  of  ihc  present 
«cfic>  of  Thi  Gbntlcman'!!  Magazine,  for  its  Kditor  lo  express

his  best  thanks  to  the  many  kind  friends  and  contributors  who 
have  endeavoured  to  lighten  what  has  been  truly  a  labour  of 
love  during  the  last  three  years,  and  to  record  his  earnest  wish 
and  prayer  for  the  continued  and  increasing  success  of  Sylvanus

MADEMOISELLE     MATHILDE. 
By  Henry  Kinxslsv. 


CHAPTER  XXXIV. 


THE   SHBIPSDEN    LETTEK*BAG. 


|T  was  night,  and  MathilJe  was  alone,  when  Mrs.  Bone 
came  in  to  her  by  the  fire,  holding  three  letters  in  a 
corner  of  her  apron,  between  her  Anger  and  thumb, 
"  Letters,  miss,"  she  said,  "  from  France."  Whereupon 
Mathildc  fell  upon  her,  and  kissed  her,  after  the  manner  of  her 
oatioiu  The  three  letters  flew  for  and  wide  in  the  struggle,  and  the 
first  one  which  Mathilde  got  hold  of  was  from  her  father. 

M.  D'liitiNY  TO  His  Daughter  Mathilde. 

•'My  Child, — A  fortnight  ago  I  received  a  letter  Irom  Sir  Lionel 
Somcrs — much  delayed  in  the  transmission — which  I  am  bound  to 
uy  gave  me  the  deepest  grief  and  pain. 

'*  I  thought  that  there  was  one  single  soul  left  in  this  false  and 
hollow  world  in  which  I  could  tmst.  I  actually,  at  my  time  of  life, 
MIeved  that  there  was  one  being  whom  I  loved,  who  was  not 
ffltirdy  false  and  treacherous  to  mc.  How  I  have  been  deceived 
Sir  Ltonel's  letter  has  shown  me. 

**  I  am  myself  utterly  at  a  loss  to  conceive  in  what  manner  I  have 
to  entirely  forfeited  your  confidence  and  your  dut)*.  1  am  unaware 
in  what  way  I  have  &ilcd  in  my  duty  to  you  as  a  parent.  That  I

un  an  imperfect  character  I  am  aware,  and  I  may  not  have  done  my 
duty  by  you  ;  I  may  have  erred  iii  my  affection  for  you,  by  hesi- 
tating to  point  out  with  sufficient  cmphnsis  and  persistency  the  faults 
which  1  saw  in  you.  Let  all  that  be  granted.  But  how  much  belter 
would  it  have  been  had  you  cklmly  pointed  out  these  ^oncomings 
of  mine,  ijistead  of  treating  me  with  what  I  am  forced  to  call 
treachery  and  deceit. 

*'  I  had  designed  you  for  nobler  things.  I  bch'evcd,  as  I  told  you 
once  last  year,  that  you  could  be  trusted  as  iciK  women  could.  I 
then  asked  you,  were  you  prepared  to  act  with  me  in  any  compli- 
cation which  might  occur.  Your  answer  was  'Yes;  that  you  could 
die  mute.'     Your  conduct  says  '  No  ;'  and  I  have  done  with  you. 

'*  Done  with  you  \  that  is  to  say,  as  a  trusted  friejid  and  an  obedient 
dnughter,  I  can  trust  no  longer  now.  I  can  only  command  ;  and 
when  the  time  comes  I  thall  command,  and  you  will  obey.  For  you, 
with  the  traditions  of  our  family,  to  have  taken  up  with  the  discarded 
and  deceived  lover,  and,  without  consultation  with  me,  to  have 
engaged  yourself  to  him,  is  a  dereliction  of  duty  and  propriety  so 
utterly  monstrous  that  I  confess  my  inability  to  deal  with  it  in  any- 
thing like  a  reasonable  temper.  I  can  go  tio  further  with  the  subject 
at  present. 

"  At  the  same  time  I  call  your  attention  to  one  fact.  In  case  you 
ve  required  here,  to  look  after  your  sister,  I  shall  demand  and 
command  your  attendance.     I  have  no  more  to  say. 

«  D'lsiGKY." 


Three  days  before  he  had  quietly  toM  Andre  DcslHes  that  the 
marriage  was  a  good  and  convciiablc  one  ;  but  there  arc  men  who 
will  bully  these  women  as  long  as  these  women  will  let  them  \  and 
so  D'Isigny  revenged  the  fearful  bullying  he  had  got  ftom  his  own 
wife  on  poor  Mathildc. 

It  maddened  her.  She  believed  every  word  of  his  foolish  ilJ- 
tcmper,  and  abased  herself  utterly.  Her  horror  at  his  silly,  cruel 
letter  was  so  great  that  she  could  not  weep, — only  walk  to  and  fro, 
moaning,  believing  hcrselt'  to  be  the  most  worthless,  false,  and 
ungrateful  being  under  the  sun.  Mrs.  Bone  and  William  heard  her 
walking  up  and  down,  talking  to  herself,  and  forbore  to  go  in  as 
usual.  **  Mademoiselle  has  heard  bad  news,"  they  said.  Indeed, 
she  had. 

"  He  canoot  trust  me  ?     Ah,  heavens !  he  might,  if  he  knew  all.

Yes,  by  the  holy  presence " 

She  paused,  .is  if  shot.  Her  great  Protestant  lover  stood  before 
facft  looking  down  on  her,  and  on  her  raving  with  a  disturbed  and 
puzzled  hce.  For  one'instant,  and  for  one  instant  only,  she  felt 
ashamed  that  he  should  have  seen  her  in  her  passion  and  her  despair. 
Another  moment  she  had  wound  herself  around  him,  and  was  crying, 
"Lionel  '  Lionel!  I  have  no  one  left" me  in  the  world  but  you. 
Kill  roc  before  you  cast  mc  off,  dear.  I  will  die  mule,  as  my  father 
ado.  But  kill  me  before  you  leave  mcj  for  I  have  none  left  -but 
yon." 

English  gentlemen,  in  those  days,  had,  if  all  stories  be  true,  a 
remarkable  faculty  of  making  themselves  agreeable  to  women,— a 
tort  of  lovc-malcing  instinct,  in  fact,  more  or  less  dangerous,  which 
they  seem  to  have  lost  in  the  march  of  civilisation.  Sir  Lionel, 
though  not  a  man  of  the  world,  seems  to  have  had  some  dim  idea  as 
to  what  was  the  best  thing  to  do  under  the  circumstances ;  for  he 
f)uiedy  drew  her  to  a  chair,  and  said  only,  "  Come,  and  tell  me  all 
about  it,  dearest,"  [t  was  not  much  i  but  the  little  was  well  done. 
There  was  s  quiet,  cool  strength  about  this  yout^  man,  which  had  a 
wonderful  clTcci  in  quieting  Mathildc.  He  took  the  letter  from  her, 
and  read  it,  keeping  his  arm  round  her  waist.  When  he  had  done 
he  said — 
"  K .  [iledgcd  yourself  to  go  to  France,  if  he  demands  it  ? " 

**  "l  I  .1,      You  will  not  Itave  me  all  alone?  " 

"  I  will  never  leave  you,  my  beloved." 
"  Thank  God  !  for  I  hiivc  no  one  left  but  you  now." 
*^  There  you  arc  luiuakcn,  my  little  one,"  said  Sir  Lionel ;  "  you 
do  IKK  uodcratand  ywa  Either  as  I  do.     This  letter  is  mere  temper. 
Me  evidently  approves  of  our  engagement.     Be  quiet,  now  ;    if  you

arc  forced  to  go  to  France  by  any  bargain  with  him,  I  will  go  with 
you,  and  will  never  leave  your  side.  I  tell  you,  point  blank,  that 
there  is  great  danger  in  going  to  France  just  now.  Your  mother  is 
behaving  with  the  greatest  indiscretion  on  the  Royalist  side;  and 
Jonkinsun  believes  that  there  will  be  a  Jacquerie  which  will  throw 
the  old  Jacquerie  into  the  shade.  Yet,  if  you  have  to  fulfil  your 
bargain  with  your  fiithcr  and  go,  I  will  go  with  you.  Now,  to 
pleasanter  matters  :  is  this  the  only  letter  you  have  got  ?  '*  H 

"  Nay,"  said  MathiWc,  cheerfully ;  "  there  were  two  othciff 
Mrs.  Bone  brought  them  in  on  the  corner  of  her  apron  ;  and  I,  Uk 
kissing  her,  dispersed  them  somewhere.     There  they  are."  ■ 

Sir  Lionel  picked  iKcni  up,  and  brought  them  to  her.  The  first 
she  read  was  more  pleasant  than  her  father's  letter  \  it  made  her 
smile  and  laugh  with  honest  happiness.

"  Dearest  Dauchtsr,— The  blessing  ofour  Lord,of  the  Virgi 
and  of  all  saints  be  upon  you  !  until  wt.-  both,  after  our  necessary  trial 
and  purification,  meet  face  to  face  in  Heaven. 

*'  1  thank  the  I.ord  always  for  you.  In  your  rising  up  and  in  your 
sitting  down  ;  in  your  going  and  your  coming,  I  praise  God  for  you. 
I  praise  God  because  he  has  let  mc,  in  these  later  times,  behold  a 
Christiaji.  Christianity,  my  daughter,  means  an  utter  abnegation  of 
Self  I  and  I  have  seen  that  in  you.  I,  therefore,  praise  God  for  you 
always. 

*'  They  say  that  yuu  arc  to  marry  this  Sir  Lionel  Somcrs.  I  am 
content ;  for  he  is  noble,  good,  and  Christian.  1  could  have  wished 
him  a  Catholic  ;  but  one  cannot  have  everything.  He  will  hold 
your  faith  sacred  ;  be  careful  to  hold  his  equally  sacred.  I  am 
no  believer  in  proselytes,  now-a-days.  He  has  had  time  to  form 
his  opinions.  1  think  them  erroneous;  but  if  they  arc  disturbed, 
you  will  have  dajigerously  to  disturb  much  else  with  him.  My 
daughter,  always  remember  that  the  duty  of  a  Christian  is  edifi- 
cation— the  building  up  of  fiiith  of  any  kind,  not  the  deitruclien  of  it. 
Our  own  Voltaire,  of  whom,  as  a  Frcnchm.in,  I  should  be  proud, 
has  pulled  the  edifice  about  our  cars.  Enfiti.  But  ht  puts  nothing 
in  its  place.  My  dear,  the  destruction  of  the  Christian  religion  was  as 
well  done,  eighteen  hundred  years  ago,  by  the  Scribes  aiid  Pharisees, 
as  it  has  ever  been  done  since,  even  by  Volt.-iirc.  The  petty  and 
miserable  formulas  which  these  destructives  give  you  in  the  place  of 
our  gr^nd  Christian  morality,  developed  through  so  many  centuries,

"  I  say  this  to  you  because  you  are  about  to  many  a  Protestant^

about  with  every  wind  of  doctrine  i  going  In  here,  goii^  in  there, 
unlit  he  has  lost  the  respect  of  hts  best  friends.  /  would  sooner  see 
you  a  Protestant  than  sec  you  such  as  your  father  is. 

"  fCccpt  my  daughter,  to  the  Catholic  fiiith,  in  which  you  were 
bom.  Ixt  no  man  delude  you  into  the  idea  that  you  can  ^  change 
your  £nth.'  Such  a  thing  is  utterly  impossible.  A  change  of  faith 
presupposes  an  examinauon  of  arguments.  Na  faith  will  stand  such 
an  examination.  Stay  by  our  old  Catholic  formulas  ;  ihcy  may  not 
be  absolutely  perfect,  but  they  are  well  enough. 

"One  Word  more.  I  spealc  these  words  in  the  face  o( death.  Do

"  So  they  do  not  all  hate  me  and  despise  me,  you  see,  Lionel," 
she  said.     *^  There  arc  some  who  think  mc  worthy  and  good."

(DC  such  letters  as  that,  and  if  I  let  you  read  them  ?  " 

"Do  you  think  they  would  make  any  difference  to  mc,  knowing 
your  worth  as  1  do  ?  "

"  Ytu  think  not  j  but  I  do  not  know.  Your  respect  for  me  ma 
Survive  this  attack  on  my  sincerity,  made  by  my  own  father ;  but 
would  not  survive  many  such  attacks.  You  arc  in  love  with  me 
just  now,  and  all  that  I  do  Is  beautiful  in  your  eyes.  The  time  will 
come  when  the  mere  sentimental  love  which  you  have  for  mc  now, 
must  dcvclupe  into  something  nobler  and  higher — into  respect,  con- 
fidence, and  perfect  trust:  so  thatwc  two  may  go  hand  in  hand  to- 
wards the  grave  together,  without  one  single  cloud  between  us. 
How  then  will  it  be,  Lionel,  when  our  honeymoon  is  over,  when  my 
beauty  is  gone,  when  I  am  grey  and  cross,  and  old  and  unattractive  \ 
and  you  and  I  are  left  all  alone  together  in  this  weary  world,  waiting 
for  death  \  Will  you  not  say  then,  '  I  cannot  trust  this  old  woman  ^_ 
her  own  father,  a  just  man,  accused  her  of  treachery  and  of  deceit  \  ^| 
The  bitter  words  which  you  have  read  to-day  will  come  rankling  up 
in  your  heart  then,  and  wc  shall  go  to  our  graves,  side  by  side,  bi 
not  hand  in  hand.     Ah  !  hut  it  is  cruel  of  him." 

Sir  Lionel  was  very  quiet  with  her.  Hs  was  some  time  before  he 
spoke,  for  the  simple  reason  that  he  thought  over  what  he  was  about 
to  say  before  he  said  it ;  and  when  he  spoke  it  was  to  the  purpose. 

"  MathiUle,  I  do  not  wish  to  speak  hardly  of  a  father  to  his 
daughter,  unless  it  were  absolutely  necessary.  But  it  is  necessary 
that  I  should  tell  you  that  I  have  a  growing  contempt  for  your 
Either,  and  that  selfish  attacks,  from  him  on  you,  tike  this  one,  only 
bind  mc  to  your  side  more  closely." 

"  So  you  [hink  now,  Lionel  \  but  if  he  attacks  me  thus,  you  will 
get  in  time  to  believe  in  his  accusations,  and  they  will  undermine 
your  respect  for  mc.  You  think  nor ;  but  a  woman  knows,  when  a 
man  thinks.  Instinct !  Ah  !  yes,  then,  instinct.  Your  dog  knows 
to  which  bush  the  wounded  bird  has  crept,  aiid  leads  you  to  it,  when 
you  yourself  would  tread  upon  it  without  seeing  it." 

Sir  Lionel's  reply  to  this  was  that  of  a  lover,  silly  and  foolish  beyond 
measure.  A  kiss, andafcw  affectionate  sentimental  platitudes^  earnest 
enough  and  sincere  enough,  but  utterly  out  of  place  with  hft:  The 
woman  was  in  earnest,  the  woman's  heart  was  on  fire ;  she  had  been 
bitterly  wronged  by  her  father,  the  man  in  whom  she  trusted  beyond 
all  9ther  men.  She  had  tried — clumsily  enough,  perhaps — to  state 
her  case  to  Sir  Lionel  and  make  him  understand  it,  and  he  ended  by 
answering  her  by  a  mere  common-place  sentimental  love  passage: 
put  his  arm  round  her  waist,  and  by  doing  so  showed  her,  once  for 
all,  that  he  was  incapable  of  understanding  her.

She  acquiesced  to  his  embrace  with  a  sigh,  which  he  did  not 
iindcntand  cither.  Yet  she  felt  that  there  was  some  one  left  who 
loved  her  i  and  in  weariness  kJd  her  head  upon  his  shoulder,  and 
looked  up  into  his  face. 

The  next  Icrtcr  was  from  Adeic : — 

"  St.  &ruim. 

"  1  st^pposE  that  you  thought  I  was  dead.  I  am,  however,  not

wntlcn  to  me.  1  do  nut  ask  cither  for  commiseration  or  for

by  my  own  family  seems  to  be  utterly  heartless  and  cruel.  1  say  no 
more.     I  can  bear  my  own  burden. 

"  I  suppose  that  you  will  reply,  that  you  did  not  know  where  to 
write  to  mc,  and  also  that  1  had  never  written  to  you.  I  should  con- 
cave such  2  line  of  conduct  on  your  part  to  be  highly  probable.  I 
am  not  at  all  clever,  and  am  but  a  ptwr  judge  of  motives  and  actions, 
but  I  should  not  be  at  all  surprised  if  you  touk  that  line.

Val<^nes,  I  am  forced  to  show  them  ihcdttfefciicc  in  our  ranks  ;  and

me.  /  heard  (hem.  Aha  !  my  Lady  Spencer^  you  laugh  then. 
This  is  well  enough  in  times  of /»r«ftf,  when  one  herds  with  anyone. 
Wait,  my  Baroness,  till  I  meet  you  in  Parisian  soclctj*,  wilh  all  the

attractions.  Wait  then,  my  lady,  until  we  meirt  in  the  old  Parisian 
suciecy.  She  is  Orleanist,  this  woman  I  She  is  Palais  Royal,  this 
woman  !  Let  us  wait  until  wc  meet  at  Versailles  i  when  the  King 
has  stamped  the  Jacquerie  out  under  his  feet." 

Wait,  indeed,  my  poor  Adele  i  and  if  you  will  forgive  a  vulgarism, 
wait  a  very  long  while. 

"  I  have  enraged  myself  about  this  wom:in,  and  have  wandered.' 
It  matters  not,  my  dearest  old  Mathildc ;  I  tell  you  that  she  is  un- ' 
bearable,  and  that  Lord  Courtenay  is  a  pig.     I  will  say  not  one  other 
word  about  either  of  them.      Lady  Siiencer  is  Catholic,  and  Lord 
Courtenay  ts  Protestant ;  yet  they  buth  court  favour  with  tlic  people 
by  fussing  about  among  the  wounded.     They  were  welcome.     But 
when  Lady  Spencer^  after  laughing  at  me,  finds  that  I  am  in  the  way 
to  become  the  mother  of  a  Marquis  ;  then  that  she  should  suddenly: 
change  her  tone,  and  become  pitifully  afFcctionate  to  me  ;  then 
but  I  will  $pi~ak  of  these  people  no  more,  not  one  wocd. 

"  1  heard  Lord  Courtenay  say, '  She  is  a  terrible  little  fool  i'  and 
Lady  Spencer  said,  'She  seems  so.  Lionel  Soniers  will  do  better 
with  the  elder  sister.'  For  my  part,  my  dear  Mathilde,  1  am  sure  1 
hope  he  may.  You  have  qualities  which  I  am  sure  will  grace  the 
fireside  of  Ashursi,  when  dear  Lady  Somcrs  is  in  Heaven  j  but  I 
have  a  growing  conviction  chat  it  would  never  have  done  for  me." 

Mathilde  had  a  precisely  similar  conviction.  And  it  is  remarkable 
that  the  Rector,  the  Rector's  wife,  Mrs.  Bone,  William  the  Silent, 
Lady  Somcrs,  the  Dissenting  Preacher,  and  even  Martin  the, 
Poacher,  all  held  this  same  fact,  put  above  by  Adele  herself,  as  an 
article  of  faith.  They  said ,  in  ditTcrcnt  ways  :  **  Mathilde  is  the  one 
for  him.  When  she  is  Lady  Somers  there  will  be  good  times  in  the 
Valley."     Ah,  my  dear  people !

pitve  forests,  and  the  hotel  in  Paris,  and  ninny  other  things.  He  did

them  all  up  on  my  fingers  often  enough.

looked  up  off  his  shoulder  into  his  dear  face,  1  saw  that  he  was  in  a

dpatcd  me ;  and  turning  from  mc,  he  said  to  some  one  who

grey  as  I  fainted  again  ;  for  the  voice  which  I  had  heard  was  the 
voice  of  our  mother. 

"  That  foolish  Sister  Veronica,  who  says  she  knows  everything 
about  something,  says  that  I  can't  be  too  careful  about  the  impres- 
sions I  receive.  Heavens  and  earth  ! — what  may  not  happen  ? — and 
a  marquisate  ! " 

'■*■  She  was  gone  when  I  came  to  myself  a  second  time ;  there 
were  only  Father  Martin  and  Louis.  Louis  said,  'My  love,  the 
country  is  very  disturbed,  and  I  cannot,  under  present  circumstances, 
take  you  to  Paris.  We  have  many  chateaux,  but  the  only  one  which 
is  safe  over  our  heads  is  Montauban,  to  the  south  in  Brittany.  My 
uncle  seems  to  have  known  that,  for  he  has  made  it  his  treasure- 
house.     Will  you  go  there  ?  " 

'^  I  said  I  would  go  anywhere  with  him. 

'*  *  But  I  mean  without  me,'  he  answered.  '  I  am  a  peer  of 
France  now,  and  must  take  my  place.  A  D'Isigny  would  scarcely 
persuade  a  De  Valc^nes  to  desert  his  post  at  this  time  ?  ' 

"What  could  I  say,  dear  Mathilde,  I  do  love  him  so:  I  never 
loved  him  so  dearly  as  I  did  then  i  he  becomes  more  and  more  a 
necessity  to  me  day  by  day.  Yet  I  am  not  all  a  fool :  I  am  not  all 
frivolous.  Ah  !  I  could  die  for  him,  or  for  you,  old  sister.  I  was 
ill :  I  felt  almost  as  though  he  was  deserting  mc ;  yet  I  knew  his 
truth,  and  I  said,  as  a  D'Isigny  should, — *  Go,  dearest  j  but  come 
back  as  soon  as  you  can.'     I  did  well,  I  think  ;  did  I  not  ? 

*'  And  he  is  gone,  and  I  am  here  at  Montauban.  I  can  write 
little  more  now.  Father  Martin  brought  me  here,  and  stays  with 
me.  He  is  very  charming,  this  Father  Martin :  he  shows  one  little 
things  which  one  never  saw  before.  There  arc  no  leaves  now,  and 
no  insects,  yet  he  can  show  one  the  swelling  bud  of  the  horse- 
chestnut,  and  asks  me, — 'Can  I  believe  that  this  tar-smeared  bud 
will  ever  develop  into  the  glorious  frond  of  the  full-blown  tree  ? ' 
and  I  say  Yes,  I  have  seen  it  do  so  ;  and  he  says  in  reply  that  I  could 
not  take  my  oath  of  the  lact.     And  he  brings  me  chrysalises,  and

CHAPTliR  XXXV. 

MO?n*AUBAN. 

PooK  little  Adclc  had  had  a  very  hard  time  of  it.  The  Rcvolu- 
ttMists  bad  done  their  revolutionary  business  in  St.  Malu  In  a  very 
diiagreeable  manner.  They  had  suddenly  attacked  the  regiment  in 
which  Louis  was  capuin,  had  crowded  i;  in  Uie  narrow  streets,  had 
Iratcnused  with  some  of  it,  and  taken  the  arms  out  of  the  hands  of 
another  moiety.  I'hcre  had  been  nearly  half  a  day  of  scuffling  and 
crowding  from  street  to  street,  a  great  deal  of  squabbling  and 
ipeecbifymg,  and  a  little  fighting — a  very  little  fighting.  Opposite 
the  north  cathedral  door  the  mob  had  let  o(F  their  firc-arins,  and  in 
duing  so  had  severely  wounded  the  niaire,  a  man  of  their  own  patty, 
who  was  at  that  moment  negotiating  with  the  Bishop  of  Coutances, 
wlio  appeared  on  the  side  of  the  troops  \  whereupon  the  regiment 
"let  fly,"  as  Dc  Toe  says,  and  killed  their  own  man,  the  Bishop  of 
Coutanccs,  stone  dead. 

After  thii  wonderful  passAgc  of  arms  there  was  a  parley.  It  was 
ultimately  agreed  that  no  one  was  bound  to  agree  on  any  subject 


12  The  Gmtlefuan's  Magazine.  [Jan. 

under  the  sun  ;'  that  any  person  who  should  express  any  decided 
opinion  on  any  subject  should  be  considered  as  no  good  patriot,  and 
"  hors  de  la  loi."  The  assassination  of  tyrants  was  pronounced  to 
be  not  only  legal,  but  admirable  ;  the  domination  of  Christian 
priests  was  resolved  to  be  abominable ;  any  one  who  said  anything 
against  the  new  doctrine  *'  that  every  man,  unattainted  of  crime,  of 
the  age  of  twenty-one  years,  should  be  allowed  to  think  and  do 
exactly  as  he  lilted,"  was  declared  to  be  an  enemy  of  the  State. 
These  and  other  vague  resolutions  were  passed  very  quickly.  But 
the  concluding  resolution  was  by  no  means  vague,  and  I  think  was 
the  only  one  which  reduced  itself  to  action.  It  was,  "that  the 
Regiment  de  Morbihan,  and  the  company  of  the  Regiment  de 
Dauphiny,  commanded  by  Captain  de  Valognes,  immediately  leave 
this  town  of  St.  Malo;"  which  that  regiment  immediately  did, 
saying  to  itself,  "  Heh  blen,  done ! "  and  also,  "  Mais  c'est 
incroyable." 

There  was  a  great  deal  of  noise  over  these  first  passages  of  the 
French  Revolution,  but  there  was  little  bloodshed.  Both  parties 
were  afraid  of  each  other.  Neither  had  got  warmed  to  their  work. 
In  their  fear,  both  parties  saw  that  the  quarrel  was  a  deadly  and  a 
desperate  one,  and  so  both  parties  were  afraid.  The  democracy  of 
France  did  not  as  yet  know  its  strength.  The  wolf  and  the  dog  had 
quarrelled,  and  the  wolf  was  perfectly  ready  to  kill  the  dog ;  but, 
then,  the  master — the  man  with  the  whip  ?  He  out  of  the  way,  it 
would  take  three  dogs  to  kill  a  hungry  wolf.  However,  there  was 
the  master  with  the  gun  and  the  whip,  and  so  the  regiment  of 
Morbihan  was  let  to  march  over  to  St.  Servan  peaceably. 

Adele,  however,  was  deeply  annoyed  by  the  misfortune  of  the  Mor- 
bihan regiment,  and  thought  most  decidedly  that  the  main  part  of  their 
own  regiment  should  have  crossed  in  small  boats,  under  fire,  into  the 
narrow  streets  of  St.  Malo.  She  thought  but  little  of  the  officers  of 
her  husband's  regiment  ;  nevertheless,  they  knew  perfectly  well 
what  they  were  about.  The  operation  would  have  been  a  very 
difficult  one,  even  if  conducted  by  the  gardes  du  corps  itself,  with  all 
its  loyalty,  even  when  disguised  in  liquor.  With  a  regiment  like  that 
of  the  2nd  of  Dauphiny,  unpaid,  consequently  sober,  and  with 
no  Swiss  regiment  near,  the  thing  was  absolutely  impossible.  To 
keep  quiet,  and  to  get  their  men  to  stay  by  them  until  they  were 
paid,  was  as  much  as  they  dared  hope  for.  It  is  doubtful  if  even 
they  would  have  moved  on  the  Revolurionists  at  La  Garaye,  had  it

not  been  for  the  Influence  which  a  frantic  woman  always  has  on 
iftci  in  times  of  excitement ;  the  frantic  woman  in  this  instance 
bong  Madame  D'Isigny. 

Adcle  was  utterly  uuc  of  humour  with  everything.  Louis  was 
oceedingly  poor,  and  she  really  was  leading  a  lifb  little  better  than 
Am  of  a  sergeant's  wife.  She  had,  since  her  break  with  Sir  Liond 
Socwn,  taken  it  into  her  head  eo  hate  the  English,  call  them  Orlean- 
iitf,  Palais  Royalists — all  kinds  of  names — and  gave  herself  ultra- 
Roralist  airs.  It  so  happened  chat  Lord  Courtenay,  and  his  sister. 
Lady  Spencer,  having  French  connections,  had  come  over  here  on 
Iraaaess,  and,  as  wc  have  seen,  put  her  in  the  exceedingly  bad  fit  of 
temper  during  which  she  had  written  the  first  part  of  her  letter  to 
MuhtUe. 

Louis  had  come  to  her  with  the  news  of  thvir  splendid  succession. 
She  was  utterly  dazed  and  stunned  by  it.  The  Marquis  was  not 
nnfly  expected  to  die.  What  Adcle  said  about  his  dangerous  illness 
tite hardly  believed  in;  he  had  been  so  ten  times  before:  she  only 
Bid  It  in  self-assertion  against  I-ady  Spencer,  He  was  a  hale  old 
mm  of  sixty,  who  had  had  illnesses,  uf  indigestion  mainly,  and  had 
woetimes  been  crapulous  for  days  and  days  alter  an  insular  drink- 
ir^bout  with  some  of  his  ]!lnglish  friends ;  hut  that  he  should  die 
suddenly  no  one  ever  dreamt.  It  was  no  '*  insular "  brandy  drinking 
iritidi  killed  him  \  it  was  that  he  overdid  himself  with  too  much 
consideration.  Cardinal  Lcroy,  prince  of  the  Holy  Roman  Church, 
iriio  was  found  gxtping  on  his  bed  the  next  morning,  and  praying  for 
urine.  Said  thut  when  he  left  the  Marquis  the  night  before,  the 
Vbr^uis  was  as  sober  as  himself  Valets  might  laugh,  but  the 
Tiotilcsse  did  not.  The  Marquis  dc  Valogncs  had  ovcr-excitcd  him- 
self about  the  state  of  public  affairs. 

.Adcle  had  not  at  first  taken  in  the  full  magnificence  of  her  new 
ttition.     She  3t  once  began  to  give  herself  airs  with  Lady  Spencer 
and  Lord  Courtcnay,  and  to  write  to  Mathitde  a  more  or  less  true 
account  of  her  astonishing  good  fortune;  but  she  kept  her  ill  temper 
Mb    It  might  suit  hci  to  be  good-iempcred  and  amiable,  but  that 
^n|uiicd    consideration.       No    one    better   than    herself  knew    the 
tnonnous  sociaJ  advanoge  of  getting  a  name  for  having  a  difficult 
(nnper.     She  was  not  inclined  to  forego  that  advantage  just  at  present. 
It  IS  so  very  difficult   to  decide  between  two  ladies,  when   ihcy 
fcoth  give  an  entirely  contradictory  account  of  the  same  fact.     We 
fcare  heard  Adelc's  account  of  the  matter,  which  seems  entirely 


probable;  but  thcn>  just  look  at  Lady  Spencer,  from  her  dtar)*: 
"  Feb.  1 8  [  1 7go,  of  course).  "  Our  silly  little  new-made  Marquise," 
says  her  diaiy,  "  more  absurd  than  ever.  Yesterday  when  her  hus- 
band brought  her  news  of  her  astounding  good  fortune,  and  told 
her  of  the  awful  death  of  this  wicked  old  Marquis,  whom  she  had 
never  seen  ;  having  no  grievance  left,  she  was  determined  to  make 
a  new  one;  she  burst  into  lears,  and  walked  up  and  down  the 
caserne,  lamenting  that  her  dear  old  uncle  had  died  without  her 
having  been  there  to  smooth  his  pillow."  When  ladies  disagree  on' 
facts,  we  had  better  not  try  to  decide  between  them.  ^| 

One  thing,  however,  seems  to  be  perfectly  certain  ;  that  when 
she  had  fully  realised  her  splendid  inheritance,  her  temper  returned ; 
and  she  behaved  most  reasonably  and  most  well.  Her  devotion  to 
the  Marquis  (whom  we  will  continue  to  call  Louis  de  V'alognes) 
was  excessive  ;  yet  she  very  nobly,  under  the  circumsianccs  (I  do 
not  speak  ironically),  made  no  opposition  to  his  going  to  Paris,  and 
consented  to  go  to  Montaiiban  with  Father  Martin.  She  cried 
very  bitterly  on  parting  with  Louis,  but  said:  **  You  will  not  be 
long,  my  love ;  not  long."  She  may  have  been  perverse  and 
foolish,  but  :>hc  was  very  loveable. 

Here,  for  the  sake  of  telling  the  story  properly,  I  must  call  youi 
attention  to  the  parting  words  between  Louis  and  Father  Martin. 

"  I  would  sooner  she  went  to  Paris  with  me  out  of  mischief,' 
said  Louis.     *'  But  it  is  impossible." 

"More  the  pity,  it  is  impossible,"  said  Father  ^lartin. 

*'  Do  not  let  her  get  into  trouble,"  said  Lours. 

"  I  wilt  not,  if  I  can  help  it.     Is  she  to  admit  her  mother  ? " 

"How  can  we  stop  it?"  said  Louis.     *'i   know  not  how. 
wish  your  wife  was  further  from  her  mother-in-law." 

"  But  you,"   said  Louis,  "  can  manage  Madame  D'Isigny. 
have  heard  you  say  things  to  her  absolutely  terrible." 

"  And  with  what  result  ?  "  asked  Father  Manin.     "  What  is  one's 
purpose  in  pouring  water  on  a  duck's  back.     As  to  m/,  she  wtOH 
listen,  but  act  her  own  way  after  all  j  as  regards  Adeic,  Madame" 
D*lsigny  will  not  even  so  much  as  listen.     She  will  play  AdeIc  as  a 
card,  mark  you.      1  thank  God  that  Mathildc  is  safe  married  in 
England." 

"  Not  married  yet,"  said  Louts. 


Adcle  had  not  seen  the  Revolution  as  ycc.    She  hated  it,  as  a  chil

haics  the  FTench,  the  itlolnterSy  ihe  pagans,  the  Roman  cmptrore, 
inbred  sin*  or  the  Jesuits, — from  hearsay.  She  knew  hut  little  of 
their  purposes,  and  less  as  to  how  they  were  to  be  carried  out.  In 
bet  joumcy  to  Montauban  her  knowledge  and  her  hatred  were  con- 
siderably increased. 

She  WAS  a  tolerably  good  hand  at  bullying  or  coaxing,  or  both, 
every  one  whom  she  met,  to  let  her  do  exactly  as  she  pleased  \  and 
ibe  rery  soon  tnanngcd  the  gentle  and  tcndcr-hc;irtcd  Father  Martin. 
He  tried  hard  to  prevent  her  from  taking  the  old  Chateau  D'Isigny 
on  their  way  south  to  Montauban.  He  told  her  that  it  would  shock 
her  -,  that  it  was  merely  a  moss  of  charred  ruins  -,  hut  for  some 
reason  she  was  dctemiincd  to  sec  it,  and  prevailed.  As  usual, 
Father  Martin  was  right,  the  effects  of  the  sight  upon  her  were 
almost  disastrous. 

They  alighted  from  their  coach  u  the  ruined  gateway,  and  walked 

arm-in-arm  through  the  winding  but    now  neglected  shrubberies ; 

Father  Martin  silent  and  anxious,  and   she  rallying  him  and  prattling 

on  about  their  rebuilding  it  with  their  money  as  a  surprise  to  her 

hlber,  when  the  king  should  have  stamped  out  this  embroglio.     She 

remembered  every  step  of  the  way.      Here  yn&  the  place  where 

Andre  and  Louis  had  hidden  in  black  masks,  made— do  you  undcr- 

gaad  ?— of  an  old   laWstr  rtoJr   of  Madame,  then    aunt  of   Dinort 

(which  was  droll  again,  if  you  thought  of  it),  and  had  rushed  on  her 

ml  Mathilde  as   brigands,  and  made   Mathildc   cry — the    foolish 

Madiilde.      Here  again,  in  this  very  spot  they  had  played,  those 

l^nir,  the  stot}'  of  Job  !  and  Andre  Desilies  had  been  the  devil,  going 

up  and  down  the  earth  growling  ;  and  he  had  played  so  well  that  he 

luit  frightened  Mathilde,  and  she  had  run  away,  **  for  she  has  no 

puiooil  courage,  that  foolish  old  Mathilde  j  and  here  is  the  end  of 

the  wall  by  Use   flower-garden,  and  we   shall  sec  the  dear  old  place 

Sj^n — aJid — ah,  great  Lord  I  you  should  not  have  brought  me  here. 

Yuu  should  not  have  shown  me  this,  you  cruel  man.     I  shall  die  ! 

Mahildc!   Mathilde!— owe/" .'  iimw.'— Mathilde!   Mathilde!" 

Mk  had  buried  her  pretty  eyes  in  Father  Martin's  cassock,  and 
lad  clutched  his  strong  arm  with  her  tiny  fingers,  for  they  had  come 
iwUcdIy  on  the  old  home  of  her  childhood,  and  she  had  seen  the 
tuis,  and  had  appreciated  tt  in  one  instant,  in  her  keen,  narrow  little 
bnu).  Only  otte  suck  blackened  gable  rising  from  among  the 
fcorchod  trees  ;  and  that  solitary  flame-eaten  gable  pierced  by  one 
lulf-ruined  window — the  window  of  their  old  nursery,  where,  years

agonc,  she  had  pntilcd,  pUyed,  and  quarrelled  wich  poor  old  lame 
Mnthilde.     She  had  luuked  on  the  Revolutiofi  at  last. 

She  lay  moaning  un  Father  Martin's  cassock.     A  wolf,  disturbed 
from  among  ihe  niins^  with  arched  tail,  rais«d  lips,  and  grinning 
fangs,  fled  past  them  to  his  lair  in  the  forest  i  but  this  she  did  not 
see.     Father  Martin  got  her  away,  and   by  the  time  they  reached      i 
the  carriage  she  was  quite  silent,  and  sat  silent  beside  him  for  thfl^H 
rest  of  the  journey — quite  hilcnt.     Father  Martin  got  thinking  some-" 
how  of  a  pretty,  charming  little  kitten  he  had  had  once^  while  study* 
ing  in  the  ecclesiastical  seminary  ac  Coutatices — the  nicest  Uttte 
kitten  in  the  world  i    how  the  hishop's   forester,  hringing  home  a 
present  of  quail  to  his  room  had  brought  his  dog,  which  had  hunted 
his  kitten  into  a  comer.     Why  did  he  think  of  that  expression  of 
utter  terror  and  unutterable  hate,  which  he  saw  in  the  face  of  his 
dear  little  kitten  just  now,  with  the  lovely  and  loveablc  little  Marquise 
de  V'alogncs  beside  him  in  the  carriage?     Who  shall  say  ? 

The  glories  of  Montauban  were  veiled  in  night  as  they  ap- 
proached it.  He  handed  Adcle,  the  Marquise,  out  of  the  carriage  ; 
and  as  he  look  her  up  the  steps,  cast  a  look  right  and  left  at  the 
splendid  fiiyade  of  the  almost  unequalled  buitdtiig.  There  was  iJttJe 
to  be  seen  except  a  broken,  apparently  interminable  mass  of  peaked 
towers,  with  blinking  stars  behind  themj  there  was  little  to  be  heard 
except  a  plashing  of  fountains,  and  the  howl  of  a  wolf,  far  awa] 
in  the  broad  forest,  with  which  the  seigneur  had  fenced  this  home 
of  unutterable  selfishness  and  sin. 

Nothing  had  been  changed,  for  the  old  Marquis  was  buried  but 
yesterday.  The  house  was  lit  and  warmed,  and  cver)'thing  was 
prepared  for  them.  The  hall,  a  very  noble  one  uf  marble,  was  filled| 
with  liveried  servants,  mostly  young  men,  mostly  (one  may  say  wH| 
€X  poit  facts  wisdom)  of  the  fhnriat  type.  Silent,  obedient,  watct 
ing.  Father  Martin  shuddered  as  he  looked,  and  said  to  himself; 
'■'■  Htrt  is  the  Revolution  \ "  and,  fur  my  part,  I  do  not  think  that 
the  good  Father  was  far  wrong. 

The  person  who  tx  sffido  received  Adele  was  a  very  quietly-^ 
dressed,  lady-like  woman,  in  grey  silk,  with  a  few,  very  few,  rather 
handsome  jewels,  but  who,  in  mark  of  her  being  a  menial,  wore  a 
cap  i  which  Father  Martin  recognised  as  the  cap  of  Coucinces  j  but, 
as  he  remarked,  worn  with  a  diScrencc.  There  was  a  bit  of  lace 
about  it  somewhere,  or  there  was  something  which  a  stupid  male 
eye  could  not  detect;    but  although  it  was  of  the  same  shape  as

the  very  queerest  places  to  which  he  had  been  called  to  perform 
the  last  offices  of  his  religion,  he  always  thought  of  a  certain  squarc- 
bced,  middle-aged  woman,  in  »  cap  smarter  than  an)'i;>nc  ctsc's, 
however  dirty  she  might  be.  And  here  was  this  same  woman,  m 
ulitind  diamonds  now,  receiving  Adclc  with  emprasemtnt^  and  pre- 
paid to  conduct  Madame  la  Marquise  to  her  apartment.  Was  it 
tk  wjnr  woman,  or  was  there  a  race  of  them  r 

If  Father  Martin  had  known  his  Hogarth  he  would  have  seen  his 
ftieod  looking  out  of  window  on  the  right-hand  side  of  the  street  in 
the  "March  to  Finchlcy,"  not  to  mention  elsewhere.  Curiously 
enough,  Shakespeare,  who  got  nearly  everything,  never  got  her. 
Poor,  ibolisb,  nonsensical  old  Quickly  and  she  are  miles  apart. 
Deft*  got  her  as  "  Mother  Midnight  \ "  as  did  also  Hogarth. 
Bitketu  iitety  and  only  once,  in  the  "  Uncommercial  Traveller.** 
The  IcaiC  said  about  her  the  soonest  mended.  Nothing  on  earth  if 
|tiMd  by  the  contemplation  of  unmeasurablc  wickedness.  Defoe  tried, 
holding  up  the  character  in  its  native  wickedness  (that  is  the  formula, 
Ibdieve),  and  did  less  than  no  good  at  all ;  merely  disgusting  the 
EDOil,who  did  not  want  disgusting,  and  telling  the  wicked  a  great 
iol  more  than  they  knew  before,  I  would  not  have  touched  on 
tiuiiibject  unless  1  had  been  in  good  and  pure  company.  I  would 
lave  dvoidcd  the  subject  if  I  could. 

Fittfan  Maniii  saw  this  woman  advance  to  greet  Adele,  with  a 
cihtt  stare  in  her  wicked  old  eyes — a  esnne'tueur  stare — which  made 
him  clench  his  tcvth  and  clench  his  haj]d».  He  saw  his  own  Adcle, 
!■  own  little  silly  cwc  lamb,  innocent,  foolish,  lovcable,  careless, 
gp  toiling  up  the  great  marble  staircase  with  this  woman  holding  the 
t^ht  for  her,  and  suring  down  on  hci  as  she  lighted  her.  Did  he 
*»ar: — there  are  many  kinds  of  swearing  j  he  resolved,  which  is 
fore  to  the  puqiosc.  He  resolved  that  this  wicked  household 
tiBuU  be  broken  up  the  next  day.  "  I  have  full  powers  to  act 
&«n  Louis,"  he  thought.  "But  will  they  go?  1  wonder  what  I 
^  better  do  ?  "  He  had  assistance  the  next  day,  from  a  quarter 
*icnce  he  neither  desired  nor  expected  assistance. 

He  was  utterly  lost  in  thought,  until  turning  round  he  found

himself  &CC  to  face  with  a  Too! tsh -looking  old  major-domo,  wH 
seemed  as  though  it  would  be  a  criicliy  to  expect  him  i<>  be  sober,uu 
ridiculous  to  suppose  that  he  ever  had  sufficient  strength  of  character 
to  get  drunk.  'I'hc  young  Mamelukes  in  embroidered  liveries  still 
stood  round,  and  among  them  Father  Martin  looked  on  the  face  of 
this  half-tipsy  old  fool  as  on  the  face  of  a  friend.  The  Mamelukes 
scared  at  Father  Martin,  in  their  way  respectfully,  as  at  something 
they  had  not  seen  lately.  They  had  seen  many  queer  things,  and 
expected  doubtless  to  sec  many  more ;  but  the  spectacle  of  a  priest^ 
Montaubanu'as  almost  too  much  for  even  their  highly  finished  mannefl 

'■'■  Monseigncur  L'Evcquc  "  (the  major-domo  thought  he  would  be 
on  the  safe  side,  though  he  knew  that  Father  Manin  was  only 
secular  priest)  *'will  be  desiring  his  supper.     It  is  prepared." 

*' My  supper,"  said  Father  Martin,  recovering  himself, 
talnly.     Send  these  young  men  to  bed.     You  can  serve  me.'* 

That  was  impossible.     Monsieur  the  Msrijuis  had  given  ord 
hat  llis  eminence  was  to  have  every  attention  paid  him.     There 
a  supper  of  nine  plau  ready  for  Monsieur. 

**  Put  them  on  all  together  then,  and  send  these  fellows  to  bed. 
Wait  on  mc  yourself.  I  want  to  talk  to  you.  I  shall  stay  here 
until  the  supper  is  on  the  table.  Then  come  you  and  serve  me; 
and  mind  that  you  are  sober." 

1'he  major-domo  was  about  as  sober,  or  about  as  drunk  as  evfl 
he  was,  when,  having  put  on  the  supper,  he  sent  the  Mamelukes  to 
bed,  he  stood  behind  Father  Martin's  chair,  ready  to  serve  him  \  but 
Father  Martin,  leaning  his  elbows  on  the  table,  left  some  priceless 
dish  untasted  while  he  thought,  *'  Can  I  get  this  kindly- looking 
tipsy  old  fellow  to  ulk  confidentially  with  mc  ?  I'll  try  him  with 
scntimcm  ; "  and  this  determination  of  Father  Martin  led  to  a  little 
incident,  possibly  illustrative  of  those  times. 

"  My  friend,"  he  said,  rising  from  his  untasted  supper,  and 
Jronting  him,  **  I  fear  this  has  been  a  very  wicked  house?  " 

The  major-domo  nodded. 

^*A  litry  wicked  house?" 

He  nodded  again,  more  strongly. 

*'  There  arc  rooms,"  he  said,  "  which  will  do  very  well  without 
■airing  at  the  present  \  of  these  rooms  1  hold  the  keys,  which  will 
most  probably  be  better  in  the  custody  of  Monscigneur  the  Father 
Confessor,  until  the  return  of  Monsieur  the  Marquis.  I  will  yield 
them  to-night.     Monsieur  the  Marquis  is  very  innocent;  he

'"My  friend,"  said  Martin,  "I  think  you  arc  an  honest  man.     I 
Vkt  your  Jace,  and  I  wish  to  trust  you.     Had  you  ever  a  sister  ?  " 
J  "I  had  once,"  said  the  major-domo,  rcucating  from  him,  and 

ffing  pale.      "  But  I  have  none  now." 
\^  Do  you  remcmlKr  her  when  she  was  young,  innocent,  gentle  ?  " 

"1  remember  her  well.  A  light-footed,  bright,  beautiful,  angcl 
d^a  gtrl,  who  sang  always  till  the  birds  in  the  wood  sang  in  emu- 
IiQon :  gentle,  innocent,  ambble,  with  a  laugh  for  the  rich,  and  a 
heart  for  the  poor.  LuctUe  was  the  pride  and  the  darling  of  our 
iwn ;  why  do  you  torture  me  ?     Is  she  not  gone  ?  " 

•*  I  do  not  wish  to  torture  you,"  said  Father  Martin,  gently.  "  I 
with  to  call  forth  your  better  and  older  nature.  But  I  ask  you  to 
ronember  your  lost  sister  as  she  was,  and  to  think  of  our  poor  tittle 
Alirquise  in  her  place.  Would  yuu  have  had  your  sister  lighted  to 
Airbedroom  by  the  horrible,  hideous,  wicked-looking  woman  who 
iujust  dot«r  so ** 

He  was  as  nearly  frightened  as  ever  he  was  by  the  effect  of  his 
?ftech.  The  major-dumu,  deadly  pale,  advanced  towards  him  again, 
pointing  one  finger  at  him,  and  said,  with  a  rapid,  hoarse,  guttural 
aiiculition — horrid  to  hear — "  You  are  no  priest — you  are  a  fiend 
Mt  of  hell.  That  hideous  hag  who  has  just  lighted  up  the  pretty 
fcriie,  IS  my  sister,  the  tender,  gentle,  little  sister,  in  answer  to 
■km  the  birds  sang.  He,  the  late  Marquis,  who  now  " — (I  will  spare 
■n?  readers) — '■^  He  made  her  what  she  is.  Is  it  a  wonder  that  1 
■otde  myself  what  /  am,  and  tried  to  forget  it  \  " 

So  the  major-domo  departed  like  a  hot  Breton  as  he  was,  leaving 
Faikcr  Martio's  appetite  for  the  supper  of  twelve  plats^  by  no  means 
improved.  He  had  thoroughly  roused  the  old  Adam  in  this  Breton's 
heart  now,  for  he  was  in  most  furious  rebellion  ;  he  only  appeared 
once  again  that  night.  He  appeared  suddenly  at  the  door  of  the 
^injag-room,  and  said,  ''  if  Monsieur  requires  nothing  more  brought, 
'  *J1  retire.  There  are  the  keys  of  which  I  spoke  to  Monsieur." 
He  then  laid  them  on  the  table  and  departed. 

Fither  Martin  took  the  keys  and  wandered  over  the  house.  Above, 
^  the  higher  stories,  the  footmen  were  wrangling  and  laughing  altcr- 
'"'cly.  The  open  rooms  he  left  for  daylight  ;  but  the  few,  iu  a  verj' 
^niua  wing,  which  he  foiuid  locked,  he  opened  with  his  keys,  and 
<*«niDcd.     Verily  here  was  the  Revolution. 

c  a 


If  it  could  be  stajred^  even  only  at  the  threshing  floor  ofAraunah! 
Prayer  had  done  greac  things  in  the  history  of  the  world  ;  but  could      , 
prayer  change  the  counsels  of  the  All-wise  ;ind  All-mighty.     He  fl 
was  bound  to  believe  so :  he  believed  that  he  believed  so :  and  yet  ™ 
this  evening  his  faith  had  left  him  utterly ;  and  nil  that  his  prayers 
came  to  that  long  and  dreadful  night,  was  a  wild  ad  miierksrSam  h 
cry  to  God  not  utterly  to  desert  him  in  the  darkness.     Father  Martin 
was   not   the  first   who  cried  "Eloi!   Eloi !   Lama  Sabachthaili "  in 
gloom  of  a  dark  wild  evening,  rapidly  closing  into  the  mirk  of  an 
unnatural  midnight,  which  gave  promise  of  no  dawn. 

He  was  a  man  who  hated  to  excite  himself  and  get  into  an  ecstatic 
state  over  his  religion.  No  man  in  this  world  was  a  more  uncom- 
promising Roman  Catholic  than  he.  No  man  could  light  the  battle  M^ 
of  the  doctrines  of  his  church  better  than  he.  Yet  no  one  wa<  H 
more  furiously  opposed  to  ecstatic  religion  than  he.  In  the  lull 
which  came  before  the  end,  he  took  occasion  to  illustrate  this  point 
by  an  example  to  Adcic,  who  required  it.  "  The  night  wc  came 
to  Montauban/'  he  said,  *'  I  wrestled  all  night  In  prayer  ;  ind 
towards  morning  I  cast  myself  on  my  bed,  and  had  a  dream,  which 
can  perfectly  well  be  accounted  fur  by  the  state  of  my  brain.  Had 
i  been  a  fool  I  should  have  called  it  a  vision,  f  prayed  directly  and 
indirectly,  to  the  saints  and  to  the  throne  (I  do  not  use  his  words, 
but  an  intelligent  reader  can  supply  them),  until  at  last  1  lay  on  my 
bed  with  the  crucifix  beside  me.  I'licn  I  thought  of  all  which 
happened  on  Calvary,  and  prayed  to  St.  Veronica ;  atid  at  tluK 
moment  I  believe  that  I  fell  asleep.  The  last  thing  which  I  saw 
with  my  waking  eyes,  was  the  crucifix  beside  mcj  in  another  moment 
St.  Veronica,  with  her  handkerchief,  was  beside  mej  and  she  was 
beautiful  to  look  upon. 

"  f  would  have  looked  after  him  who  was  toiling  up  the  hill,  but 
she  would  not  let  me,  but  held  the  handkerchief  in  her  hand  with 
the  divine  head  upon  it,  and  bade  nic  look.  And  1  looked  and 
adored.  But  while  I  adored  and  wept,  the  head  changed  into  Latin 
writing,  slowly,  letter  by  letter,  beginning  from  the  thorn  on  the 
extreme  left  of  the  crown,  and  ending  to  the  extreme  right  of  ihe

mouth.  I  repeated  the  words  as  they  appeared  ;  what  were  they? 
The  words  of  the  Lord's  Prayer — only  that ;  and  when  the  dream 
ended  and  I  awoke,  1  was  saying,  loudly,  *  In  Secula  Scculorum/ 
For  ever  and  everlasting,  Adele.  Not  for  a  Revolutio[i ;  not  for  a 
p;riod  of  lime  ;  not  forall  time;  but  *in  secula  seculoium,''ror  ever

laughing  overhead  \  and  1  said  the  old  prayer  again,  and  found  it  the 
iot  of  all.     I  slept  like  a  child." 

They  were  vciy  fierce  in  their  faith,  just  now,  these  priests.  So, 
unluctdy  for  them  were  men  of  the  Marat  and  Carrier  school.

"  Taisez  done,"  tud  Madame  D  Iwgny  the  Terrible.  **  I  Have 
come  to  the  end  of  a  row,  and  I  must  calculate.  I  drop  here  fortr 
stitches  in  the  whole  length,  or  is  ii  fort}*-6vc?  I  wish  you  would 
wake  like  another,  and  not  so  suddenly." 

Father  Martin  got  quietly  ofF  the  bed  and  confronted  Madame 
D'Isigny. 

"  Madame,"  he  said,  "  w31  excuse  my  extreme  dishabille.  I  was 
tortured  with  doubts  last  night  about  many  things,  and  1  did  not  uke 
off  my  clothes.  Will  you  give  me  rf*;/  to  retire  and  put  my  diess 
in  ortler  ? " 

"  If  I  had  wanted  to  see  you  in  fine  clothes  I  should  hardly  have 
invaded  your  bedroom,"  said  Madame  D'Isigny.  "  Lie  down  again. 
J  wish  to  talk  to  you," 

Father  Martin  looked  Rir  his  steel  Utchetcd  shoes,  put  them  on, 
and  then  sat  on  the  ed^  of  the  bed,  smoothing  his  chin,  staring 
straight  at  Madame  D'Isigny,  and  absolutely  silent.  m 

"  Which  of  us  is  going  to  speak  first  ?"  said  Madame  D'Isigny.    m 

Certainly  not  Father  J^ianin.  He  sat  absolutely  silent,  ac  the 
edge  of  the  bed,  stroking  his  chin,  and  looking  Axcdly  at  Madame. 

*^  I  suppose  I  must  speak  first,  then  f  "  said  the  teirible  Madame^ 
after  a  time. 

As  there  seemed  to  be  no  ghost  of  a  doubt  about  this  matter,  she 
spoke. 

"  This  is  a  very  beautiful  house  here !  '*  f 

Dead  silence  from  Father  Martin.  Nothing  but  the  cool,  quiet 
slare.     Madame  dropped  her  eyes  and  went  on  with  her  netting. 

"  It  will  make  a  nice  house  for  the  young  couple,  and  I  shall  be 
near  my  daughter  in  the  times  which  arc  coming.  It  has  all  happened 
very  well." 

Not  a  single  word  from  Father  Martin's  side  :  he  merely  sat  on 
the  edge  of  the  bed  and  looked  at  her.  She,  on  her  pan,  netted 
faster  and  faster. 

Did  he  know  his  woman  ?  He  knew  his  woman.  She  had  put 
on  her  sweetest  temper  and  her  most  charming  manners,  in  order  to 
entrap  him,  him,  into  a  pleasant  conversation.  He,  on  the  other 
hand,  desired  particularly  to  exasperate  her,  and  to  cause  her  to  make 
a  Ibol  of  herself;  so  he  sat  on  the  edge  of  the  bed  and  looked  at  her. 

She  netted  faster  and  fiistcr,  and  tugged  harder  at  her  stirrup.

"^You  wbb  to  exasperate  mc,"  she  said,  growing  white  with 
mgfr.  "  You  wish  to  exasperate  me  by  keeping  silence.  You 
ibll  not  succeed.  No !  "  she  went  on,  rising,  rolling  up  her 
nttting,  and  casting  it  to  the  other  end  of  the  room  -,  "  you  shall  not 
soccrcd  in  exasperating  mc,  on  your  old  priestly  trick  of  silence. 
Spcik,  and  speak  to  the  purpose." 

Father  Manin,  taking  up  one  leg  and  nursing  his  foot,  spoke  at 
lut.     He  said, — 

"  I  was  waiting  ft>r  Madame  to  speak  to  the  purpose.  When  she 
does,]  will  answer." 

Madame  spoke  10  the  purpose — 

"I  only  wanted  your  help,  and  you  as  priest  ;  or,  what  is  the  same 
tKing,  as  time-server  ;  or,  what  is  agiiin  the  same  thing,  as  coward  ; 
or,  what  is  once  more  one  and  the  same  thing,  co^uin  et  mii&abUi

driuing  mc  to  madness.  You  calculated  by  your  silence  to  drive 
mciitto  incoherent  fury.  You  have  succeeded — but  no,  my  dear, 
you  have  not  succeeded  in  your  plan.  Look  then,  I  am  coherent 
enough.  I  want  your  help.  I  am  quite  calm,  see  you.  But  this 
it  not,  with  its  present  household,  quite  the  place  for  my  tender  and 
ijinocenl  Adcle.  You  must  help  mc  lo  get  rid  of  this  household,  my 
d«i  Father.      You  must  go  with  me  in  this." 

Kxher  Martin  said  that  Madame  now  spoke  to  the  purpose,  and 
tint  he  would  be  most  delighted  to  do  so, 

"]  am  calm  and  sensible,  then,"  she  went  on.  "That  netting 
i^hich  I  threw  -,  I  saw  a  rat  against  the  door,  and  I  threw  it  at  the 
ist  They  catch  rats  jn  nets,  do  ihcy  not  ?  Was  ic  not  clever  in 
tne  :o  throw  the  net  at  the  ral  ?  " 

Father  Manin,  1  fear  very  much  directed  by  the  devil,  said  that 
Mjdame's  courage  was  only  e<]ualled  by  her  dexterity. 

"/Ind  they  catch  rats  like  that  now,  do  they  not?  "  continued 
Miidamc  DTsigny. 

Irtgret  to  say  that  Father  Martin's  answer,  wlulc  he  contcmpla- 
tivdy  stroked  his  shoe  and  was  thinking  of  hi  other  things,  was, — 

"Certainly,  Madame  ;  all  the  world  catches  rats  in  that  way  now. 
And  the  rats  caught  so,  are  far  superior  to  those  which  arc  reared 
Uitindards,  even  to  those  planted  against  north  walls." 

"You  can  be  like  another,  you  priest,"  was  Madamcs  sudden 
ind  shon  commentary  on  Father  Martin's  wool-gathering.  "  I  could 
make  jrou  say  what  I  chose." 


^ 


Father  Martin,  who  had  been  undoubtedly  wool-gatherJng,  fclt 
horribly  guilt\-.  He  had  guessed  at  her  next  move,  and  was  chinldng 
how  to  checkmate  it,  when  he  made  this  horrible  Aascu  about  the 
rats. 

*^I  am  not  aware,  Madame,  that  I  have    said  anything  (bolish-^ 
while  speaking  o(  pears." 

^'^ Grand imhieilt !  we  were  speaking  of  rats;  and  all  the  time  I) 
watched  you,  and  you  were  trying  to  checkmate  mc.      Pick  up 
that  netting  there,  which  I  have  cast  to  the  end  of  the  rc»in>  and 
then  come  here  ;  listen,  and  obey." 

Father  Martin  picked  up  the  netting,  and  brought  it  to  her.     But 
she  had  met  her  master  for  all  that.     He  now  sat  on  the  edge  of  his  _ 
bed  again,  waiting  for  her  to  speak.     She  spoke.  ^ 

"1  said  just  now  that  these "  (I  must  spare  my  readers  her 

language;  if  they  want  such,  let  them  read  the  flowers  of  speech* 
caiit  by  our  young  friend  Camillc  Desmoulins  on  the  path  of  Brissot) 

"  that  these  footmen  must  be  discharged  to-morrow.  I  have  no 

authority  here  :  you  have  some.     Dear  Father  Martin,  are  they,  or 


autnority  nerc  :  you  nave  some,     uear  ratncr  iviartm,  are  iney,  or  m 

ris  that  woman,  fit  companions  for  my  daughter  f  "  I 

Martin  agreed  at  once.  fl 

"  I,"  he  said  at  once,  "will  Jo  that  for  Madame.  I  have  powerl 
to  do  so  from  the  Marquis.  It  is  an  extremely  dangerous  thing  to  do,  ■ 
for  we  shall  make  deadly  enemies  of  these  discharged  servants.  You 
arc,  Madame,  the  most  furious  and  onjftsrKV  woman  I  have  ever  seen 
in  my  life ;  and  I  love  you  for  this,  because  you  will  not,  at  any  risk, 
see  your  innocent  daughter  living  here  with  this  horrible  entauragt. 
I  will  have  these  servants  dismissed  for  you,  Madame  j  but  under 
one  condition." 

Madame  was  extremely  puzzled  to  think  what  that  condition 
might  be.  Her  curiosity  so  tar  got  the  bcTtcr  of  her  self-possession, 
that  she  stopped  her  netting,  and  put  her  head  on  one  side.  Martin 
gave  his  condition. 

"  I  will  cleanse  and  purify  this  house  instead  of  taking,  as  I  could, 
Adcic  out  of  it,  on  the  simple  condition  that  you  do  not,  when  it  is 
silent  and  quiet,  make  it  the  centre  of  your  Royalist  plots.  Madame, 
I  adjure  you,  by  the  God  we  both  adore,  not  to  involve  Adele.  ■ 
Think,  madame,  that  you  arc  the  mother  who  bore  her.  Reflect  on 
her  facility,  her  beauty,  her  frivolity.     Remember  the  time  of  her

HERNE'S    OAK.' 

LHERE  fell,  on  the  last  day  of  August,  four  years  ago,  in 
Windsor  Home  Park,  an  oak-tree  of  no  small  renown. 
It  had  long  been  known  as  "  Heme's  Oak,*'  and  becom- 
ingly enough,  its  fall  was  brought  about  by  old  age  and 
natural  decay  alone.  Entirely  denuded  of  its  bark,  and  having  lost 
ilmKt  every  vestige  of  its  once  mighty  arms,  it  had  long  stood  at  such 
inindinatkm  from  the  perpendicular,  as  assured  all  who  saw  it  that  its 
erJ  would  not  be  far  distant.  And  so  at  last  it  fell.  The  heart  of 
il»  tree,  for  above  two-fifths  of  its  height  upwards,  had  entirely 
ptriihcd  i  and  for  more  than  another  fifth,  it  had  perished  in  the 
'•■e  way  from  the  top.  About  one-fifth  of  its  whole  length  was 
'Wuid  wood,  '*  and  some  good  wood  remained  around  the  hollow 
J'Wi."  •     Mr.   Pcrr)-  also  says,   that   "  from    long   exposure,  being

■ 


unprotected   by  bark,  fissures  are  frequently  met  with  at  a  grnic| 
depth  from  the  surface  "  of  the  sdid  wood. 

It  is  said  to  have  been  about  fifteen  feet  In  girth  at  the  largest^ 
part,  and  is  calculated,  but  upon  what  principle  Is  not  obvious^  to^| 
have  been  650  years  old.  Furthermore,  it  was  what  is  called  »  ^ 
*'  maiden  tree,"  that  is  to  say,  it  had  never  been  pollarded. 

"  Two  or  three  fragments  "  of  this  tree  were  given  by  a  friend  to 
Mr.  W.  Pwryi  and  he  was  "subsequently  employed  to  make 
articles  of  virtu  by  those  possessing  some  of  the  wood.  By  the 
Queen's  ** commands"  he  even  "executed  a  bust  of  Shalcspearc  for 
Her  Majesty,"  which  has  been  approprintely  placed  in  the  Royal 
Library  at  Windsor  Castle ;  where,  also,  it  may  be  added,  is  pre- 
served a  small  wctl-dried  spray  of  oak  leaves,  on  one  of  which  is 
written,  in  a  hand  by  no  means  modern,  *'A  leaf  from  Heme's 
Oak.'*  This  was  found  in  the  fine  copy  of  the  2nd  folio,  which 
once  belonged  to  Charles  I.,  caiefiilly  placed  next  the  passage  of 
the  **  Merry  Wives  of  Windsor  "  which  speaks  of  the  tree. 

Now,  it  is  well  known,  that  there  has  been  no  little  controversy' 
regarding  "  Heme's  Oak."     And  in  consequence  of  the  confident,  j 
asscnions  of  some,  that  the  tree  which  fell  four  years  ago  was  noe 
the  genuine   one,   Mr.  Perry  adopted  the  somewhat  unusual  but 
much-to-be-commended   plan  of  writing   in   defence   of  his    tree. 
"Being  employed  upon  the  wood,"  he  says,  "I  felt  myself  in  a 
manner  identified  with  it;  that  a  reproach  impended  over  me  if  1 
was   spurious,   and   therefore,  that  a   duty  of  satisfyii^  m^'sclf  a 
least  devolved   upon  mc,  as  to  whether  the  late  tree  was  or  was| 
not  the  oak   mentioned  by  Shakspearc   in  the  "  Merry  Wiv« 
Windsor."^ 

The  interest  of  this  argument  to  others  ditTers  in  several  respects 
from  Mr.  Perry's.  They  can  aCord  to  consider  the  subject  in  a  more 
dispassionate  way.  To  him,  evidently,  one  of  two  things  must  be 
established;  cither  his  tree  was  "Heme*  Oak,"  or  that  which 
stood  not  very  far  from  it,  and  was  cut  down  in  1796-  It  has  not 
occurred  to  him  that  there  is,  as  usual,  a  third  alternative.  But 
neither  did  it  occur  to  the  two  champions  of  the  tree  of  1796,  the 
honoured  and  venerable  Charles  Knight,  and  the  authors  of  the 
"  Annals  of  Windsor,"  Messrs.  Tighc  and  Davics.  Fighting 
aga'mst  such  odds  one  caimot  but  entertain  some  admiration  for  the, 


nonge  of  Mr.  Peny.     And  we  may  add  bere,  that  quite  apart  from 
the  i{ues[ion  at  issue,  the  "  Treatise  on  the  Identity  of  Hcrnc's 


Od,**  a  one  of  those  pleasant,  racy,  Shakspcarian  pamphlets  which 
^^onc  could  rend  with  satis^ction.  1'he  point  of  view  Js  8o 
i^i^:);  the  reasoning  is  so  earnest;  the  audacity  with  which  evi- 
<lnKt  is  wholly  overlooked,  altered,  all  but  invented,  is  so  naivty  so 
unconscious ;  the  resolution  to  win  displays  such  true  English  pluclr, 
i^w  one  wishes  at  last  that  it  had  been  Hcrnc*s  Oak,  or  that  there 


28  TAe  Gcntlemau's  Magazine.  U*'** 

had  been  some  special  Heme's  Oak  perpetually  renewed,  \o  reward 
the  adventurous  "  Wood  Cirvcr." 

As  Mr.  Pcrrj-  puts  the  question,  this  is  to  be  decided  : — Was  the 
tree  which  fell  in  1863  the  real  Hcrnc's  Oalc;  or  was  the  real  tree 
that  which  was  cut  down  in  1796? 

We  cannot  quote  our  author's  summary  of  his  reply  in  full  \  but 
we  can  follow  it,  and  use  it  here  and  there,  alwaj^  allowing  him  to 
speak  for  himself,  wherever  our  space  will  permit ;  and  to  answer 
the  arguments  of  his  opponents  without  suffering  them  to  state  them 
chumsclres.  His  tree,— and  ihe  allegation  is  unquestionably  correct^ 
— would  admit  of  the  **  Dance  of  Custome  round  about  the  OaJt,"  Ux 
it  stood,  as  all  might  see,  sufficiently  distant  from  the  ^^pit  hard  by," 
to  afford  ample  sward  for  such  fairy-revels,  and  yet  was  near  enough 
to  allow  the  counterfeit  fairies  to  appear  upon  the  scene  at  a 
moment's  notice.  The  tree  of  1796,  un  the  other  hand,  was  loo 
near  the  edge  of  this  old  pit  for  any  dance  r»un(lix.\  nor  could  the 
false  fairies  have  "couched"  there,  even  "mih  obscured  lights," 
without  immediate  discovery.  And  we  see  no  possible  rejoinder  lu 
this. 

"We  have  the  cvidciKc,"  Mr.  Pciiy  goc*  on  10  say,  "of  it« 
having  been  preserved,  in  preference  to  all  the  other  trees  in  the 
Park,  from  its  infancy.'*''  But  in  fact,  *^all  the  other  trees  in  the 
Park"  have  been  "preserved''  from  their  infancy,  or  how  should 
ihcy  be  there  now?  Probably  this  might  be  said  of  one  huge  0.1k,  a 
hundred  or  two  yards  from  Mr.  Perry's  tree,  of  which  he  himself 
speaks  (p.  58),  and  which  is  not  properly  a  pollard,  but  a  self- 
planted  tree,  which  seems  at  first  to  have  struggled  for  the  bare  hfe 
amongst  thick  underwood  ajid  over-topping  forest  mates,  until  its 
bulk  and  the  grandeur  of  its  vase  arms  won  for  it  1  reverence,  which 
Mr.  Perrj-'s  never  received.  It  is  at  least  twenty-nine  feet  round, 
at  five  feet  from  the  ground,  and  may  have  been  a  lusty  young  tree 
when  the  Norman  Conqueror  first  hunted  at  Windsor.  There  is 
another  oak,  midway  between  this  patriarch  of  the  forest  and  Mr. 
Perry's,  now  quite  stripped  of  its  bark,  ajid  most  fantastically  draped 
in  ivy,  which  tosses  its  bare  arms  about  so  wildly  that,  until  two 
winters  ago,  it  presented  on  one  side  the  very  image  of  Heme  the 
Hunter's  own  head,  "  with  great  ragg'd  horns."  And  there  arc 
many  others,  with  just  as  much  claim  tu  have  been  "  preserved."

accepted  by  Mr.  Peny,  that  he  diverted  the  line  of  his  avenue  in

honour  of  Heme's  Oak,— not  dimply  allowed  it  to  stand  where  ti  J 
would  be  quite  in  place,  as  soon  as  the  elms  had  acquired  their  usual 
growth.      No   evidence   of  William's   entertaining   this   design   in 
planting  the  avenue  is  offered.  ■ 

CoHicr's  map,  which  was  published  in  1742,  is  then  appealed  to. 
Here  we  see,  plainly  enough,  the  avenue  just  spoken  of,  and  the 
pit  so  often  referred  to ;  and  a  hajid  points  to  a  fine  looking  tree, 
but  within  the  limits  of  the  pit,  quite  apart  and  distinct  from  the 
avenue,  with  this  inscription—*'  Sir  John  Falstafl''s  Oak."  How  to 
make  Collier's  map  evidence  for  Mr.  Perry's  tree,  instead  of  that  of 
'^, — this  is  the  question.  Nothing  easier.  If  it  is  not  Mr.  Perry's 
tree,  where  it  Mr.  Perry's  tree  ?  Besides,  this  tree  was  too  big  to 
be  quite  in  the  line  of  the  avenue  i  and  the  tree  of  '96  couid  net 
have  had,  in  I74a>  so  Biie  a  head,  compared  with  the  elms,  as  the 
mnp  shows.  So,  let  us  draw  this  part  of  the  map  over  again,  in 
liict,  just  as  Collier  would  have  drawn  it,  had  he  lived  now,  instead 
of  then  i  and  like  Mr.  Pcrr)%  had  been  "  employed  upon  the  wood  " 
of  a  different  tree  from  thai  which  he  called  "  Falsiaff^s  Oak," 
and  had  "  felt  himself  in  a  manner  ideniihcd  with  it."  It  is  done  ; 
and  now  Collier^  like  a  sensible  man,  is  a  witness  on  our  side,  and 
when  we  refer  to  his  map,  we  make  no  secret  of  meaning  our  own 
improved  edition  of  this  part  of  it ! 

It  must  be  acknowledged  that  it  is  excessively  droll  to  find  enthu- 
siasm about  the  identification  of  a  tree  carried  so  far,  as  to  present 
such  a  splendid  example  of  '*  pious  fraud  "  as  this.  And  it  is  all 
the  more  amusing,  because  Mr.  Perry  writes  In  the  most  perfect 
good  faith.  Many  considerations  might  be  suggested  to  a  thought- 
ful mind,  that  would  not  be  wholly  unfavourable  to  those  who 
hitherto  have  been  supposed  to  monopolise  this  manufacture.  And 
we  might  learn  much  about  this  intricate  subject  by  studying  it 
in  an  instance  where  no  influences,  theological,  ecclesiastical,  or  _ 
religious,  could  be  so  much  as  suspected  to  be  present.  f 

But  we  must  hastily  summarise,  in  Mr.  Perry's  own  words,  the 
remainder  of  his  evidence  and  argument.  *' Wc  have  the  evidence 
of  some  of  the  oldest  inhabitants  of  Windsor,  whose  assertions  go 
back  as  far  as  the  time  of  [William  HI.].  We  have  the  valuable 
evidence  of  Mr.  Gilpin,  given  at  a  period  previous  to  the  destruc- 
tion of  the  supposititious  tree.  We  have  the  tacit  consent  of  all 
those  who  were  living  at  the  time  that  that  tree  was  cut  down,  pro-  ■ 
fessing  belief  but  practising  disbelief  {  who,  having  had  five  years'

^Vc  have  also  seen  how  George  IV.,  William  IV.,  and  the  other

Bloy  others  also.  And  last,  but  not  least,  the  evidence  of  our 
prcKitt  gracious  Queen  Victoria  \  who,  immediately  the  venerable

need  quote  no  more. 

To  render  more  than  even-handed  justice,  we  will  not  quote  one 
word  from  those  who  have  maintained  the  second  aJtemadrci  and 
have  stood  up  for  the  tree  of '96.     As  far  as  A-lr.  Perry's  a;^ 
is  concerned,  he  shall  refute  himself,  or  bear  off  all  the  honoun 
the  field.     Our  readers  shall  be  the  judges. 

But  we  must  say  a  few  words  about  that  "  third  alternative/'  and 
a  few  will  suffice.  For  the  moment  overlooking  the  (act  that  wc  are 
dealing  here  with  a  '■^  stage  play/'  and  nut  with  the  literary  drama, — 
for  whatever  Shakspcare  may  be  to  kj,  the  **  Merry  Wives  of 
Windsor "  was  written  to  be  acted  at  Windsor  before  Queen 
Elizabeth, — we  may  not  unUrly  assume  that  the  poet  had  before  his 
mind  a  definite  picture  of  the  scene  he  was  placing  the  characters 
in,  and  through  which  he  was  conducting  the  action  of  his  piece 
Nor  is  it  too  much  to  say  that  as  we  have  positively  no  authori 
but  Shakspeare  for  the  legend  of  Heme  the  Hunter,  or  the  cxisien 
of  his  Oak,  wc  must  rely  on  Shakspcare  alone  for  our  means 
identifying  the  site  of  the  tree.    Let  us,  then,  turn  10  the  play.

Near  to  some  road  or  foot-path,  one  would  say;  for  the  *^ many " 
have  never  been  those  who  would  roam  through  forest  and  glade  ^in

from  a  public  way.     Now,  at  that  time  there  were  two  several  vra) 
across  the  Home  Park  between  the  Castle  and  that  pit  near  Mr. 
Perry's  tree  :  one  from  the  Castle  Hill,  which  went  close  beside  the 
southern  ditch  of  the  Castle  j    the  other,  from  Park  Street  (then     . 
Pound  Street),  and  both  uniting  before  they  reached    the   biidg(|^|

tree  or  that  of  '96  occupied.  CoIlier*s  map  shows  how  little  reliance 
oast  be  pbccd  upon  presently-existing  facts  for  the  understanding  of 
ibt  topography  of  this  small  tract  in  Shakspeare's  time.  And  it  inust 
be  borne  in  mind,  that  just  about  this  very  period  the  forest— for  such 
itmight  still  be  called — was  being  converted  into  an  English  pnric  j 
loi  so,  for  the  convenience  of  the  further  conversion  of  well-grown 
trees  into  serviceable  joists  ;inJ  planlcs,  would  be  established  not  too 
6f  iway  from  the  town,  nor  from  the  regular  ways  across  the  Park. 
AMed  to  which,  one  sees  plainly  enough  in  Norden's  View  of 
Windsor  Castle,  in  the  reign  of  James  I.,  a  facsimile  of  which  is 
given  in  Tighe  and  Davis'  second  volume,  close  beside  the  nonh- 
amnost  path  to  Datchct,  and  just  upon  the  spot  now  within  the 
l>oi>^te5,  opposite  the  Lancaster  Tower,  2  "  timber  yarde,"  with 
lintbcr  lying  about  in  it.  And  this  seems  Co  be  conclusive  as  to  the 
i?pnutmate  site  of  the  *'  saw-pit." 

It  is  scarcely  needful  to  point  out  that  all  the  funny  little  minor 
jtets about  the  marrjing  of  "sweet  Anne  Page,"  presuppose  some- 
iliiog  less  ihaji  some  half  a  mUc  to  be  traversed  before  the  town 
ntild  be  reached  by  the  runaways.  The  next  passage  appears  to 
wpport  this  conclusion  very  strongly.     Ib'td.^  act  v.  scene  2  : —

'Q  the  Castle;  and,  as  it  seems,  all  the  former  combatants  have 
flatten  this  little  line.  The  site  of  both  the  controverted  Heme's 
tflb  is  more  than  half  a  mile  from  the  nearest  corner  of  the  old 
(«Ic  ditch.  And  if  Mr.  Slender  "couched"  himself  there,  or

That  is  in  the  "saw-pit,"  in  front  of  the  present  King  George. I V.'s 
gate,  as  shown  before. 

To  confirm  conclusions,  heretical,  doiihtlcsR,  yet  apparently  having 
some  ground  of  their  own  to  stand  upon,  comes  a  very  remarbible 
oral  tradition.  A  householder  of  this  reign,  who  has  hved  either  in 
"  Slough  ur  Windsor  "  all  his  life,  and  been  about  the  Castle  full 
thirty  years,  says  that  his  uncle,  nearly  fifty  years  ago — he  being  then 
a  man  well- stricken  in  years,  fourscore  and  ten  upwards — told  him, 
as  a  lad,  that  the  site  of  the  true  Hernt*s  Oak  was  somewhere  near 
where  the  present  road  from  the  Castle  to  Frogmorc  is  drawn.  The 
whole  of  the  ground  was  then  open,  and  full  of  pits  and  mounts,  and 
altogether  unlike  what  it  now  appears.  At  various  times,  and  owitig 
to  various  circumstances,  the  actually  old  trees  have  all  disappeared 
from  this  corner  of  the  Park ;  but  this  is  no  ground  for  disputing 
their  existence. 

We  have,  at  least,  drawn  the  hunt  nearer  the  Castle.  We  must 
pvc  up  "Heme's  Oak"  as  a  hopeless  quest;  and  perhaps  it  migkt 
be  as  well  to  set  off  on  a  new  line  of  investigation.  The  "  Richani. 
Home"  record  has,  certainly,  nothing  co  do  with  our  Heme.  Whc 
else  in  England  and  Germany  are  similar  legends  to  be  found  \ 

It  would  be  cruel  to  remind  Mr.  Perry  of  his  admission,  that 
play  was  written  for  ihc  stage,   and  not  for  Windsor  Home  Pa 
even.     And  wc  will  not  do  so.    But  we  do  very  heartily  recommcii 
his  little  book  about  the  **  Tree  that  fcU  in  '63,"  as  one  which  ougb 
ajid  which  deserves,  to  hold  a  place  in  every  Shakspcarian  libnifili 
even  if  only  for  the  frank  and  unconscious  daring  of  its  line  of 
argument.

EPOCHS     OF    ENGLISH     POETRY/ 
Bv  THE  REV.  F.  \V.  FARRAR,  M.A..  F.R,&. 

IS   TWO   TARTS—PART 

T  is  obviously  impossible  in  the  short  space  of  an  bout's 
lecture  to  treat  of  so  wide  and  imponant  a  subject  as  the 
"  Epochs  of  English  Poetry  "  in  any  but  the  slightest 
way.  All  that  1  can  cxpt-ct  to  do,  and  even  that  in  the 
lOSt  cursory  manner,  is  to  bring  before  you  the  most  salient  cha- 
racteristics of  those  few  poets  who  mo^t  distinctly  mark  an  era  in  our 
ttcraturc.  But  my  encouragement  is,  that  an  hour  spent  in  speaking 
Cf  our  poeu  can  hardly,  under  any  citcumstances,  be  time  absolutely 
vasted. 

Poetry  has  been  well  defined  as  "imaginative  passion  \ "  and  in  an 

»gc  so  weary  with  overwork,  so  seared  and  vulgarised  by  the  struggle 

fbi  fife  as  our  own,  the  elements  of  noble  Imagination  and  deep  fccl- 

"WBarc  precisely  tho^c  which  wc  have  the  greatest  need  to  cultivate. 

In  uur  national  literature  we  have  abundant  means  for  this  cultiva- 

tioQ.    Not  even  Greece,  not  even  Rome,  with  all  the  wealth  and 

glorj  of  their  literature,  can  produce  greater  individual  tumcs  than 

liose  which  have  adorned  our  own  tongue  ;  and  in  variety  and  range 

*ii  iplendour   they   arc  far  unequal  to  us.     I  am  very  far  indeed 

^1  undervaluing  the  dead  languages  \  but  he  who  knows  Knglish, 

^  English  only — English,  the  very  tongue  which  in  our  system  of 

<diK2Uan  we  have  hitherto  most  ncglecicd— has  the  key  to  a  richer 

*»«iire-housc  of  thought  and  feeling  than  would  be  open  to  him  in 

^y  other  single  language.     In  our  poets  alone  he  may  find  delightful 

^eupation  for  the  leisure  hours  of  a  lifetime. 

Vor  will  the  study  uf  them  bring  amusement  only,  for  the  poets 
^  icicbers  too.     The  poet  Wordsworth  wiites  thus  to  a  friend  : —

"  To  add  sunlight  to  da)rlight,  by  making  the  happf  happ'irr  ;  to 
teach  the  j'oung  and  the  gracious  of  every  age  to  become  more 
actively  aiid  securely  virtuous," — surely  this  is  a  noble  description  of 
poetiy ;  and  yet,  noble  as  it  is,  aJl  our  best  and  uucst  poets  have 
come  up  TO  it.  Wc  can  all  attain  to  heans  simple  enough,  and  calm 
enough,  to  furnish  ourselves  with  those  sources  of  iguiet  happiness 
which  are  all  that  man  really  needs ; — we  can  attain  to  minds 
balanced  and  lecpt  full  of  hope,  first  by  religion,  and  next  by  those 
pure  intellectual  pleasures  to  which  religion  is  most  closely  akin — a 
reverence  for  the  Divine,  the  Etcriul,  and  the  Unseen  \ — a  love  of 
Nature  as  God's  work,  and  of  man  as  God's  noblest  work.  It  is 
a  higher  thing  to  be  wise  and  good  than  to  be  great  \  and  to  some- 
thing of  this  wisdom  poetry  ^can  help  us.  It  was  never  meant 
merely  to  amuse  an  idle  hour,  but  for  more  than  this — to  raise,  to 
ennoble,  to  purify,  to  cheer ;  to  nerve  the  mind  at  once  for  lofty 
action  and  lowly  self-denial  j  to  lend  beauty  and  glory,  indeed,  to 
the  living  present,  but  to  point  with  beckoning  finger  and  to  lead 
with  radiant  footstep  towards  a  more  beautiful  and  more  glorious 
future. 

But,  before  I  speak  of  our  actual  poets,  let  me  remark,  that  if  you 
would  seek  the  very  earliest  germs  of  English  poetry — the  poetry  of 
thoHght  rather  than  of  ang^  the  poetry  of  those  unconscious  poets 
who  lived  and  suffered  and  enjoyed  and  stamped  the  itidelible  impress 
of  their  genius  upon  the  words  the)-  used — you  must  look  for  it  in 
the  history  of  that  great  English  tongue  which  bids  (air,  in  the  far 
iiiturc,  to  be  the  uiiivcrsid  language  of  the  globe.  "Every  dead 
language,"  it  has  been  said,*''is  full  of  all  monumental]  icmembrancet 
of  the  people  who  spoke  it.  Their  swords  and  their  shields  are  in 
it  i  their  /aces  arc  pictured  on  its  walls  ;  and  their  veiy  voices  ring 
through  its  still  recesses."  It  depends  for  its  very  existence  upon 
a  poetic  metaphor,  withnut  which  no  unseen  thing  could  have  been 
lumcd.  It  bears  the  impress  of  an  age,  when,  to  the  newlr- 
awakening  and  happy  intellect  of  man,  the  warmth,  the  west  wind, 
the  ornaments  of  springtime  recurred  with  ever  fresh  scnsatiojis  of 
wonder, — and  when,  if  an  arch  of  resplendent  colours  unveiled  iiscU 
in  heaven,  it  seemed  to  rain  upon  the  earth  a  shower  of  precious 
stones.

It  was  to  this  bright,  healthy  feeling  that  wc  owe  all  thgse  sweet 
^  pathetic  legends,  and  many  of  chose  picturesque  and  delicate 
liixWsthat  characterise  our  early  literature  and  popular  terminology. 
It  WIS  from  the  people  that  came  such  names  for  constellations  as 
iheDr^on^  and  Charles's  Wain,  and  the  Milky  Way  ;  such  names 
of  Howers  as  Daisy>  and  Honeysuckle,  and  Forget-me-not,  and  Tn- 
rtHfr"*  joy  ;  such  names  for  birds  as  Cuckoo,  and  Kingfisher,  and 
Robin  Redbreast,  and  Stormy  Petrel,  because,  like  St,  Peter,  it  seems 
towalk  upon  the  waves.  Words,  as  has  been  well  said,  are  at  once 
^poetry  and  fossil  history.  Who  would  have  thought,  w/Jr/sW,  that 
itienimeof  **  amethyst "  recalls  its  ancient  credit  as  a  charm  against 
llie  fumes  of  wine;  that  the  word  "varnish  "is  a  reminiscence  of 
■*«  golden  tresses  of  Berenice ;  that  the  history  of  the  word 
'*<iBefy  "  takes  us  back  to  a  quaint  rabbinical  legend  about  the  magic 
powers  of  Solomon  1  and  that  the  origin  of  the  word  "  naphtha  " 
■*  to  be  found  embalmed  in  a  marvellous  talc  of  Nchemtah,  which 
Dccuis  in  the  second  book  of  Maccabees  ?  Yet  so  it  is.  It  has  been 
Uidihat  every  language  is  .1  dictionary  of  faded  metaphors  \  it  might 
Wi^edf  that  every  language  is  at^o  a  library  of  unsung  poems. 

But  I  must  leave  these  "  Iliads  without  a  Homer  "  to  introduce 
ifw  fiist  articulate  singer  of  our  strictly  national  literature.  Every 
Iltciaturc  has  some  one  poet  who  serves  as  its  morning  star,  a  herald 
*wl  precursor  of  its  coming  dawn.  The  morning  star  of  Greek 
Pwtiywas  Homer  i  of  Ron«n  poetry,  Knnius  1  of  Italian  poetry, 
Putc  ;    of   German    poetry,  the  writers   of  the  Niebelungen ;    of 

igliih  poetry,  GeofFrey  Chaucer.     Over  that  great  name  we  must 

r  a  few  moments  pause  ;  fur  Chaucer  is  one  of  the  greatest,  and  is 
'*>£  earliest  conspicuous,  landmark  of  our  poetic  literature.  He  was 
Iwiin  1328,  and  died — a  date  easy  to  remember— in  the  year  1400. 

Chaucer  was  at  once  a  man  of  letters,  and  a  man  of  the  world  ; 
i  ctmnicr,  a  soldier,  and  a  poet.  He  married,  the  sister  of  that 
Cjihcrinc  Swinford  who  afterwards  became  the  wife  of  John  of 
Giunt,  son   of  Edward    III.      Through   ihc  whole  of  Edward's 


splendid  reign  he  lived  in  wealth  and  distinction,  and,  iravelling 
abroad  as  an  ambassador,  he  made  the  acquaintance  oF  the  gteat 
Italian  poet  Pctrarc,  as  Milton  afterwards  made  that  of  Galileo.  In 
the  succeeding  reign  ofRichard  II.  he  fell  into  disgrace^and  was  even 
imprisoned  during  the  political  turmoiU  of  the  day  ;  but,  being  sub- 
sequently restored  to  favour,  he  died  in  prosperity.  To  his  wonderful 
genius  wc  arc  indebted  for  more  than  one  eminent  ser>-icc,  which 
made  him  worthy  to  be  the  first  of  that  mighty  line  of  poets 
whose  dust  has  been  laid  in  the  most  venerable  of  our  abbeys.  He 
was  the  first  to  fix  and  to  enrich  the  forms  of  our  language  which, 
remember,  at  that  time  was  only  beginning  to  emerge  from  its  old 
illiterate  Anglo-Saxon  roughness.  It  required  no  little  prescience  for 
an  ambitious  m;4n  to  entrust  his  writings  to  a  tongue  which  at  that 
time  was  too  much  despised  to  be  spoken  either  at  court  or  in  the 
public  offices.  So  doubtful  was  it  whether,  as  a  language,  English 
would  attain  any  permanence,  that  Crower,  Chaucer's  successor, 
writing  three  poems,  had  not  courage  to  commit  more  than  one  of 
them  to  the  vernacular  i  but  composed  a  second  in  Latin,  and  a 
third  in  French.  Then  it  w.is  Chaucer,  too,  who  introduced  into 
our  language  that  famous  ten-syllable  heroic  ihyme,  which  is  perhaps 
the  most  n:uional  of  all  our  metres,  and  bns  been  used  in  some  shape 
or  o[her  by  all  our  poets.  But,  besides  these  great  formal  services, 
he  has  a  high  claim  to  he  considered  one  of  our  best  poets ;  and  there 
are  only  one  or  two  who  can  stand  on  the  same  line  with  him.  He 
is  far  too  much  neglected  ;  and  if  you  would  read  a  truly  charming, 
fresh,  witty,  gentle,  characteristic  poetn,  yuu  would  study  the  famous 
prologue  to  the  **  Canterbury  Tales."  You  will  find  in  it  the  traces 
of  a  poet  eminently  resembling  Shalcspcare  in  happy  sprlghtlincss,  in 
cheerful  and  serene  benignity  ;  of  one  who  is,  what  all  poets  should 
be,  "  simple,  sensuous,  passionate;"  of  a  man  who  knew  the  world 
and  could  enjoy  it,  and  had  passed  through  it  without  austerity  ;  of^ 
a  man  who  can  wake  your  laughter  by  a  delicate  touch  of  play&l 
satire,  and  now  bring  the  tears  into  vour  eyes  by  a  stroke  of  most 
natural  pathos.  I'here  is  something  about  these  old  poets  whicl^| 
modern  vcrsifieis  have  inevitably  lost.  They  arc  minstrels,  rhapsodists, 
tellers  of  stories.  There  is  a  certain  objectivity  and  outwardness 
about  them.  Modern  poets  arc  always  writing  from  within,  sul^fl 
jecting  to  a  sort  of  morbid  anntomy  their  thoughts  and  feelings,  their 
hopes  and  fears.  They  arc  the  poets  of  meditation  ;  but  the  ancieiu 
poets,  like  Chaucer,  arc  the  potti  of  action.      They  tell  you  a  lalc —

ihcf  show  you   something  going  on.     Then   there  is  a  beauiiful 

child-Hke  wonder  about  them  ;    chat   wonder  which,   as  the  jioct 

Coieridgc  says,  is  the  offspring  of  ignorance^  but  the  blnhlhroe  of 

knowledge^  and  the  parent  q(  adoration.     They  look  on  the  world 

ffilh  ihe  large,  open  eyes  of  chjld-likc  astonishment.     The  world 

hu  not  yet  lost  fur  them  its  venial  freshness ;   life  for  tbcm  is  a 

poctiy  full  of  mystery  and  grace.     They  have   none  of  the  hies/ 

cpicism — none   of  ihe  worn-out   despairing  anxictj'  of  so  many 

modern   bards.     And  that  is  why  they  arc  so  gloriously  cheerful, 

w  overflowing  with  bright,  healthy  laughter.     The  more  our  years 

^  on  the   more   we   feel   the   value   of  this   beautiful   quality, 

"Positively,"  says  Frederic  W.  Robertson,  "  I  will  not  walk  with 

layooe  in  these  tenebrous  avenues  of  cypresses  and  yew.      I   like 

(uony  rooms   and   sunny   truth.      When   I  had  more  of  sun  and 

wumth  I  could  affoid,  in  youth,  to  be  prodigal  of  happiness ;    to 

Ue  the    darksome    lawn    brushed    by    the    owlet's   wing,    and    to 

BKdiatc  for  hours  over  decay.     Now,  I  want  sunlight  and  sunshine. 

J  dcure  to  enter  into  those  regions  where  cheerfulness,  and  truth, 

iiul  health  of  mind  and  heart  reside."     And  this  is  quite  the  spirit 

ofCKwicer.     He  would,  doubtless,  have  agreed  with  the  philosophy 

of  Dwtc,  who  places  in  one  of  the  lowest  circles  of  his  "  Inferno  *' 

tt»ie  wretches,  who,  during  their  lives  were,  without  all  necessity, 

ttii  in  the  suiuhinc.     "  Wc  were  sad,"  they  say, 

**  In  tbe  tweet  »tr  inaile  gbdioate  by  the  sua ; 
Noxr  in  ihU  aotA^y  darknns  arc  we  ^ad."

materials  Ctiauccr  works.  He  is  a  poet  entirely  devoid  of  that  **  poetic 
phfaseology,"  that  gorgeous  hemorrhage  of  half-appreciated  words, 
that  thick  incrustation  of  paints  and  jewels  which  bedaubs  the 
modern  Muse.  It  would  be  a  healthy  sign  if  in  this  our  younger 
poets  would  imitate  him.  Could  anything  be  more  exquisitely  true, 
yet  more  absolutely  simple,  than  the  little  touch  of  simple  white  and 
green  with  which  he  brings  a  !ipHng  meadow  under  the  sunlight 
before  our  eyes  ? 

Chaucer  has  been  compared  cu  ui  April  day,  full  in  itself  o 
watmih  and  brightness,  but  followed  often  by  rough  weeks  and 
frosty  nights,  which  nip  all  the  early  blossoms.  He  died  in  1400, 
and  the  whole  remainder  of  that  15th  century  docs  not  produce  a 
single  pre-eminent  poet.  The  jealousy  and  opposition  of  the  clergy 
to  all  novelties,~-a  prescient  intuition  of  the  day  when  they  should 
smart  under  the  scourge  of  such  poets  as  Skchon,  Lyndsay,  and 
fiutler, — the  absence  of  all  patronage,  the  troubles  in  the  civil  wars 
of  the  Roses,  in  which,  says  the  chronicler, "  the  sound  of  the  church 
bells  was  not  heard  for  drums  and  trumpets,"  may  have  contributed  to 
the  dearth  of  all  prominent  poets.  Po!.sibly,  however,  to  the  middle 
of  this  dull  century  Is  due,  in  its  oldest  form,  that  grand  old  ballatl 
of  "  Chevy  Chase,"  which  Sir  Philip  Sydney  used  lo  say  **  siirrcd 
his  heart  like  the  blast  of  a  trumpet;"  and  it  is  at  least  probable  that 
during  this  pros.iic  period  many  another  of  our  great  balbds  sprang 
from  the  passionate  heart  of  the  people.  These  ballads  arc  quite  a 
distinct  and  separate  phase  of  literature,  and  well  worth  your  study 
and  attention.  For  myself,  I  cannot  describe  the  charm  they  have 
forme;  the  well-springs  of  feeling  in  them  arc  so  unfjthunuble  j 
their  tenderness  is  so  tender,  their  weird  power  so  imaginative,  their 
pathos  so  intense.  There  is  a  charm  even  in  the  ruggcdness  of  rhcir 
antiquity,  and  the  uncertainty  of  thctr  original  form  in  the  multi- 
tudinous shapes  they  have  assumed  in  the  traditions  of  the  people  i 
just  as  one  vijncrates  an  old  sword  all  the  more  for  the  rust  upon  its 
scabbard,  and  the  hacks  and  dents  upon  its  blade;  they  deal  in  strong 
situations,  and  describe  with  infinite  yet  reverent  truth  the  fiercest 
possibilities  of  human  nature.  Undoubtedly  they  arc  hot,  rude, 
graphic  i  he  whose  mind  is  not  strong  enough  to  walk  among  scenes 
of  battle,  and  murder,  and  sudden  death  ;  he  whose  "  slothful  loves 
and  dainty  sympathies "  arc  too  fine  spun  to  face  the  darkest  and 
most  unspoken  tragedies  of  human  nature,  must  turn  elsewhere. 
Yet,  as  Mr.  Allingham  observes,  **  AH  is  not  darkness  and  tempest

—and  a  serious  vice  it  is — of  our  modern  sensationalism  ;  but  yesj 
it  is  right,  if  the  sin  and  crime  be  spoken  of  with  due  gravity

And  her  heart  burst  into  three : 

'  My  a'c  dear  son  is  dead  and  gane. 
And  my  t'other  ane  ne'er  I'll  see.'" 


This  ballad  appears  to  me  truly  wonderful  :  the  picture  of  the  gay 
boys  coming  out  of  school ;  the  wrestle  on  the  bonny  green  hill; 
the  accident,  the  tender  care  of  the  homicide  for  his  brother,  and  the 
brother's  sympathising  fear  of  the  results  to  him  ;  the  agitation  as  he 
sat  in  his  fether's  chair :  the  creeping  chill  which  comes  over  his 
mother's  heart  as,  question  after  question,  she  divines  with  more  and 
more  terrible  certainty  what  has  happened  j  the  boy's  dread  of  his 
father's  anger ;  the  burst  of  remorse  with  which  he  makes  his  wild 
confession ;  his  headlong  flight ;  and  then  the  terrifically  powerfiil 
image  —  unmatched  and  unmatchable,  save  in  Homer  and  the 
Niebelungen — 

"  She  turned  hersel'  right  round  abo'.it. 
And  her  heart  burst  into  three." 

All  these  combine  to  give  a  splendid  specimen  of  the  peculiar  power 
and  excellence  of  our  ancient  ballad  literature. 

Pope  said  that  it  was  easy  to  mark  the  general  course  of  English 
poetry  :  Chaucer,  Spenser,  Shakspeare,  Milton,  Dryden,  are  the  great 
landmarks  of  it ;  if  we  add  the  names  of  Pope,  Cowper,  Words- 
worth, and  Tennyson  or  Browning  (for  between  these  two  last 
names  the  future  rather  than  the  present  must  decide),  the  list  of 
poetic  epochs  is  complete.  The  dulness  which  I  have  said  charac- 
terises the  whole  of  the  15th  century,  lasted  far  on  into  the  i6th. 
The  first  half  indeed  of  that  century  had  the  rugged  satire  of  Skelton 
to  enliven  it  \  but  Edmund  Spenser,  born  in  1553,  is  its  first  memo- 
rial name.  Ten  years  later  was  born  the  poet  of  all  time,  WjUJam 
Shakspeare.  This  is  the  Elizabethan  age  of  our  literature,  an 
astonishing  and  unequalled  period  of  growth.     Never  again  till  the

great  French  Revolution  was  there  such  a  sudden  blaze  of  majesty, 
of  genius,  and  of  strength.  The  decay  of  scholasticism,  the 
downfall  of  the  feudal  power,  the  revival  of  classical  literature,  the 
discovery  of  America,  the  progress  of  scientific  invention,  above  all 
the  spread  of  the  Reformation,  and  the  disenthralment  of  the  national 
mind  from  their  on  tyranny  and  superstition  of  Romish  priest- 
craft, combined  to  stimulate  the  intellect  of,  and  to  thrill  them  with 
such  electrical  (lashes  of  eagerness  and  awakenment,  as  to  account 
in  part  for  the  mighty  result.  Ths  soil  had  been  broken  up,  and  the 
vegetation  burst  forth  in  tropical  exuberance.  In  that  day  lived 
Shalcspeare,  and  Bacon,  and  Sidney,  and  Spenser,  and  Surrey,  and 
Hooker,  and  Ben  Jonson,  and  Raleigh, — and  the  names  of  poet, 
and  soldier, and  statesman,  and  philosopher,  formed  often  one  garland 
for  a  single  brow.  In  poetry,  however,  the  name  of  Spenser  is  the 
earliest;  and  in  spite  of  th3  tediousness  of  long-continued  allegory, 
the  chivalry,  the  sweetness,  the  richness  of  his  "  Faerie  Queene  "  will 
always  win  him  an  honourable  place  among  the  lovers  of  true  poetry. 
In  him  too,  as  in  all  our  greatest,  we  have  a  noble,  moral  purpose. 
His  end  was,  he  tells  us,  *•*■  to  fashion  a  gentleman  or  noble  person  in 
virtuous  and  gentle  discipline  ;"  and  Milton  said  of  him,  that  "  he 
dare  be  known  to  think  our  sage  and  serious  post  Spenser  a  better 
teacher  than  Scotus  or  Aquinas."  The  two  qualities  that  best  mark 
his  style,  and  very  fine  qualities  they  are  for  a  poet,  are  gorgeousness 
and  melody.  And  though  we  may  not  dwell  upon  him,  suffer  me 
to  quote  you  but  one  stanza  which  has  always  been  admired  for  its 
superlative  sweetness. 

"  The  joyful  birJs,  shroutted  in  cheerful  shade. 
Their  notes  unto  th3  voice  attempered  sweet, 
Th'  angelical,  soft,  Ircnibling  voices  made 
To  th'  instruments  divine  respondence  meet ; 
The  silver-sounding  instruments  did  meet 
With  the  base  murmurs  of  the  waters'  fall. 
The  waters'  fall  with  difference  discreet. 
Now  soft,  now  low,  unto  the  wind  did  call ; 
The  gentle,  warlilinj  wind,  low  answered  t  j  all."

here  to  say  that  since  the  time  of  Cbvis,  first  Christian  Kiiig  of 
Fraixrc,  and  grandfather  of  the  hermit.  Saint  Clouij>''  Compiegne  was 
a  livouritc  residence  of  French  monarchs,  some  of  them  repairing 
chithcf  for  the  enjoyment  of  such  out-door  sports  as  were  ^vourcd 
by  its  vast  forest,  and  others  resorting  to  its  garrison  for  military

Oricazu,  and,  with  sacred  baimcr  in  hand,  had  conducted  the  King 
to  be  crowned  at  Rheiins.  Then,  declaring  her  divine  mission

ever  old,  centuries  arc  but  yesterdays. 

It  has  been  said  elsewhere  how,  when,  in  1602,  bright  autun

wife  and  mother,  threefold  cause  to  rejoice  in  that  event  which 
took  pUcc  .It  Fontaijicblcau  ;  but  when  her  son  (Louis  XIIL),  < 
nine  years  afterwards,  succeeded  his  father,  who  had  been  assassins 
by  the  fanatic  Ravaillac,  much  tribulation  did  civil  war  cause  to  he 
the  Queen  Regent  of  France  ;  and  at  Compiegne,  in   1631, 
found  herself  the  prisoner  of  htr  own  son  (then  just  thirty  yean 
age),  or  rather  of  his  ministerial  adviser.  Cardinal  Richelieu. 

In  the  monih  of  July,  1631,  Marie  de  Mcdicis,  capitvc  at 
picgne,  appealed  to  the  protection  of  Parliament  against  the  Cardiii 
albeit  she  had  formerly  treated  the  Parliament  with  contempt  \ 
there  arc  reasons  appertaining  rather  to  general  history  than  to 
pcn-aiid-inlc  sketches  fur  supposing  that  her  escape  from  Compiq 
was,  for  his  own  sake,  uUiiuate]/  favoured  by  Richelieu.     Durii

anher  despairing  movemencs  were  luiking  in  its  shades.  Her  poli- 
onl  honour  and  reputation  were  attacked  \  the  Parliament  was 
IKwetless  to  defend  her  against  the  Cardinal,  and  her  son,  the  King, 
thai  addressed  his  brother,  the  Due  d'Orlcans,  concerning  her: — 
''You   have  no  right  to  censure   my  actions,   nor   those  of  my

own  position  after  the  appeal  of  the  captive  Queen  to  the  Parlia- 
nent  \  for  even  if  it  be  true  that  at  one  time  of  her  forced  residence 
aiCoaipiegne,  Marie  dc  Medicis  was  not  allowed  to  wander  beyond 
dufbrtilications,  it  seems  none  the  less  certain  that  her  guards  were 
» distributed,  in  the  summer  of  1631,  that  during  the  night  of  the 
281b  of  July  she  succeeded  in  evading  their  vigilance  and  escaped  \ 
&nt  10  Capelle,  a  frontier  town  in  Picardy,  where  she  might  easily-

■tiscries  of  her  position,  and  it  was  not  until  too  Ute  that  her  son, 
I4IHS  XIII.,  repented  of  his  conduct  towards  her.  He  had,  as 
*kcwn  in  his  letter  above  quoted,  delighted  in  being  called  *'  the

*iio,  whatever  might  be  her  fiiilings,  could  never  b«  accused  of  ai

(Dec,  1642)  that  Marie  de  Medicis  died  in  poverty  at  Cologne, 
Cmlinal  Richelieu,  of  the  Palais  Royal,  expired  in  the  midst  of  his 
Iflwdour  and  was  buried  at  the  Sorbonnc.  It  was  by  his  death-bed

Caixlinal  Mazann  then  made  itself  felt  throughout  Europe,  and  how 
absolute  was  his  authority  over  the  j'oung  IGng,  Louis  XIV  .^  has^ 
been  ^rcady  shown  in  a  previous  number  of  this  Magazine.^  f 

After  Louis  XIV,  had  attained  his  majority,  Mazarin's  power  over 
him  was  unabated,  even  to  the  sacritice  his  Majesty  was  compcUnl 
to  make  of  his  affection  for  Marie  Mancini,  the  Cardinal's  own 
niece. 

Separated  from  her,  the  youthful  monarch  bewailed  his  fate  it 
Compicgne,  for  thither  was  he  compelled  to  retire  for  a  season  pre- 
viously to  his  marriage  with  the  Infanta  of  Spain.  A  jealous  guard 
did  his  mother,  Anne  of  Austria,  there  maintain  over  him,  although 
for  some  time  he  succeeded  in  so  far  eluding  her  watchfulness  as  lux 
only  to  indite  "  sonnets  to  his  mistress's  eyebrow,"  but  to  employ 
emissariei}  in  placing  his  written  declarations  of  Invc  beneath  the  cyei 
of  Marie  Mancini.  Woe,  however,  to  all  who  ventured  to  express 
sympathy  for  the  lovers ;  and  when  Christina,  eccentric  and  urani 
ex-Queen  of  Sweden,  arrived  on  a  visit  to  the  yueen-mothcr  of| 
France  at  Compicgne,  she  incurred  the  displeasure  of  her  roy;^' 
hostess  by  declaring  that  could  she  and  the  love-sick  King  chajige 
places,  Marie  Mancini  would  not  long  be  left  to  weep  in  a  convent. 

By  Mazarin  was  Christina  presented  to  Louis  XIV.  and  hii 
mother,  they  having  gone  forth  in  state  lu  meet  the  Queea  o' 
Sweden  on  her  road  to  Compicgne.  Crowds  had  previously 
bled  to  witness  her  arrival  in  Paris,  where  all  sorts  of  reports  were 
rife  as  to  her  masculine  gatb  and  manners.  Mademoiselle  de  Mont* 
pensier,  **  the  grandt  Mademoiselle,"  cousin  of  Louis  XIV.,  wall 
deputed  to  receive  her  at  Fontaineblciu  ;  and  if  it  be  true,  ^ 
some  of  Chiisiin^i's  biographers  surmise,  that  any  Idea  of  a  matfii^ 
between  the  Swedish  royal  lady  and  Louis  XIV.  had  been  ensC' 
tained,  it  must  have  been  quickly  scared  away  by  the  written  rcpa't* 
of  Mademoiselle  dc  Montpcnsicr,  who  was  herself  at  one  time  iu** 
pccted  of  matrimonial  designs  on  her  royal  kinsman.  Elegant  i" 
person  and  maimer  was  Anne  of  Austria,  and  so  fastidious  in  h* 
tastes,  so  sensitive  in  her  sense  of  touch,  that  no  cambric  could  be^ 
found  fine  enough,  no  velvet  soft  enough,  for  her  wearing  appard^ 
Cardinal  Mazarin  is  said  by  an  old  French  author  (Ant^uetil)  to  bivc 
jestingly  observed,  that  '*  if  punishment  were  reserved  for  he 
iVLijcsty  hereafter,  it  would  be  to  lie  in  holland  sheets."

she  taCQiTcd  the  displeasure  of  (he  Queen  by  her  loudly-expressed 
opiniom  concerning  the  unfortunate  position  of  Louis  XIV.  as  a 
royal  lover.  Her  subsequent  outrage  to  piincely  hospitality  by  the 
murder  uf  Monalde&chi  at  Fontaincblcau,  is  notorious  ;  and  when  to 
this  crime  her  Swedish  Majesty,  whose  chief  passion  was  for  philo- 
lOphy  and  abstruse  science,  added  the  offence  of  writing  in  flatter- 
ing terms  to  Ninon  de  I'EncIos,  the  French  Aspasia  of  her  time,  it 
need  scarcely  be  said  that  she  was  henceforth  coldly  regarded  by  the 
Court  of  France.' 

And  yct^  strange  to  declare — strange,  both  in  point  of  time  and  con- 
science (or  tinvmamt') — Madame  de  Maintenon  herself,  the  demiifc 
wife  of  Louis  XIV. in  his  later  years,  was  abo  the  friend  of  Ninon  de

the  intcltcctual  gifts  bestowed  on  that  too  celebrated  and  marvel-

remember  this  fact  when  visiting  Compiegne,  in  company  with 
Madame  de  Maintenon,  long  after  most  of  the  actors  in  the  drama  of 
his  youth  had  passed  away.  The  perfume  of  a  forest  flower  may 
then  bare  recalled  how  remarkably  fond  his  mother  (dead  of  cancer 
in  1667)  was  of  sweet  scents  ;  and  by  the  beauty  of  Madame  de  Main- 
tenon's  handLouis  XIV.  might  have  been  reminded  how  Christina 
of  Sweden — who  seldom,  if  ever,  wore  gloves  herself — prevailed  on 
Anne  of  Austria  to  withdraw  her  own  glove,  and  then,  with  coarse

What  a  difference  between  the  portrait  of  Louis  XIV.,  lover  oC 
Marie  Mancinit  in  his  youth  at  Compicgne,  and  Louis  XIV.  in  old 
age,  the  husband  of  Madame  dc  Maintenon^shc  having  been  foe 
many  intervening  years  the  governess  of  his  children,  by  Madame  de 
Montespan  !     What  a  difference  during  the  whole  of  his  long  reign 
between  Versailles  and  Compicgne  !     When   his   mother,  Anne  of 
Austria,  received  the  ex-Queen  of  Sweden  at  Compicgne,  the  palace 
of  Versailles   was   not   built.      Madame   de   Soissons,   another  of 
Cardinal  Mazariii's  seven  nieces,  then  presided  at  the  Tuilcries,  the 
people  of  Paris  having  incurred  the  displeasure  of  Anne  of  Austria; 
and  for  some  time  after  the  death  of  Mazarin,  Madame  de  Smssoqs— 
that  beautiful  and  witty  relative  of  his,  and  sister  of  Marie  Manciiu 
—was  the  centre  of  a  brilliant  circle  in  the  capital  of  France.    It 
was  in  ihe  midst  of  the  Tuileries'  circle  that  Louis  XIV.  acquired 
"  the  air  of  politeness  and  gallantry  which  he  preserved  during  the 
remainder  of  his  life,  and  which  was  admirably  blended  Mrith  dignity 
and  decorum."     But,  though  thus  at  the  TuUcries,  when  Madame 
la  Comtesse  dc   Soissons    was    Surintendante   of  that  metropolitan 
palace,  acquiring    graces    which  afterwards  helped   to  win  for  him 
the  sobriquet  of  the  **  grand  monarque,"  Louis  XIV.  himself  ia 
later  years  shunned  a  residence  at  that  palace,  as  his  mother,  Aqdc 
of  Austria,  had  done  in  the  days  of  his  youth  at  Comptcgnc.     As  a 
new  scat  of  glorified  French  monarchy  he  erected  Versailles,  little 
foreseeing  that  this  separation  of  the  King  from  the  capital — the 
heart— of  France,  would  eventuate  in  the  death  of  the  monarchy 
itself.      At  Compiegne,  nevenheless,  appeared   his   grcat-grandion 
and  successor  from  time  to  time  ;  but  it  was  from  Ver5.iilles,  not  the 
Tuilcries,  that  he  came  to  rouse  the  echoes  of  the  forest  by  the 
hunting-horn,  until  such  time  that  he — Louis  XV. — iKginning  to 
yearn  fvr  "  something  new,"  yet  daily  more  and  more  lamenting  th»t 
there  was  "nothing  new  under  the  sun,"  determined  in  the  midst  of 
his  luxurious  Ufe  at  Versailles  to  construct  a  new  royal  abode,  worthy 
to  be  the  palace  of  a  King  of  Versailles,  at  Compicgne.  And  the  palace* 
as  it  at  present  stands,  then  quickly  rose  to   view,  as  though  com- 
manded to  appear  by  the  wave  of  a  magician's  wand.     From  design^ 
of  Gabriel  was  it  erected ;  but  here,  be  it  remembered,  there  were 
three  architects  of  that  name.    To  the  first,  who  died  in  Paris,  i68b, 
may  be  ascribed  the  palace  of  Choisy,  known,  before  it  was  engulfed 
by  the  Revolution,  as  "  Choisy  le  Roy  "  :  this  architect's  son,  who, 
having  completed  the  Pont  Royal,  died  In  1762,  was  created  Knight

mooaicb  destined  to  make  those  addiuons  wu  only  just  bom*  ia 
Corsica^  when  Matie  Antoinette,  Archduchess  of  Austria,  and  bride 
of  the  Dauphin  of  France,  arrjifcii  at  Compicgne,  and  there  for  ihc 
first  time  beheld  her  husband,  then  but  **a  big  lubberly  boy"  of^^ 
sixteen,  to  whom  she  was  already  wedded  by  proxy.  ^B 

But  here  wc  cannot  do  better  than  follow  the  old  French 
Court  account  of  all  that  took  place  on  that  occasion  from  the 
MS.  of  M.  dc  la  Fertc,  who,  as  Keeper  of  the  Privy  Purse  to  His 
Majesty,  Louis  XV.,  felt  a  keen  interest  in  observing  every  part! 
of  the  ceremonial  by  which  Marie  Antoinette  was  welcomed  at 
Conipiegnc. 

"The  king  (Louis  XV.)  had  been  regularly  informed  of  the  pro- 
gress of  Madame  the  Dauphiness"  {Marie  Antoinette],  "and  when 
intelligence  was  brovighi  to  hts  Majesty  that  she  had  reached 
Soissons,  he  set  out,  about  noon,  accompanied  by  Monscigneur  the 
Dauphin,  for  Compit-gne,  there  to  await  her  arrival.  The  next  day 
his  Majesty,  Motiseigncur  the  Dauphin,  and  Mesdamcs  the  Prin- 
cesses (daughters  of  Louis  XV.)  attended  by  the  principal  officers' 
of  the  royal  household,  went  as  far  as  the  bridge  of  Bcmc  to  meet 
Madame  the  Dauphincss.  Detachments  of  the  king's  household 
troops  preceded  and  followed  the  royal  carriages;  and  the  Cabinet 
Ministers  also  formed  part  of  the  procession,  which  was  arranged 
according*  to  the  precedence  of  rank.  The  bridge  uf  Berne  is 
situated  in  the  forest  of  Compit-gnc.  When  Madame  the  Dauphincss 
perceived  the  King,  she  alighted  from  her  carriage,  at  a  short  distance 
from  the  spot  where  his  Majesty  stood  ready  to  welcome  her,  and 
walked  towards  the  King.  Her  first  equerry  gave  his  hand  to  her. 
She  was  also  attended  by  her  chevalier  d'honncur,  and  by  her  lady 
of  honour,  and  by  all  ihe  French  nobilliy  whom  the  King  had  ap- 
pointed to  receive  her  on  the  frontier.  When  the  Dauphine&s 
reached  the  King  she  threw  herself  at  his  foet.  His  Majesty  raised 
her,  embraced  her  with  much  tenderness,  and  presented  her  to 
Monseigncur  the  Dauphin,  who  also  embraced  her.  Then  the 
King's  daughters  were  presented  to  the  Dauphincss.  Th^,  too, 
embraced  her.  The  King  now  remounted  his  carriage  to  return  to 
Compicgnc;  he  placed  the  Dauphiness  on  the  seat  next  to  himself4 
Monscigneur  the  Dauphin,  and  the  Countess  dc  Noallles,  lady  of 
honour,  were  in  the  same  carriage  opposite  to  them.  Upon  her 
arrival  at  the  Chateau  dc  Compicgnc,  Madame  the  Dauphincss  was

Dnc  and  Duchessc  de  Bourbon the  Due  dc  Pcnihievre,  and

Majesty.** 

*'  AU  who  were  privileged  by  their  blood  to  kiss  the  Dauphincss 
had  that  honour.  The  King  then  retired^  and  the  nobility,  who  had 
accompanied  him  to  Compicgne,  were  each  in  turn  intioduced  to 
btr.  In  the  evening  the  King  supped  in  public  with  the  Dauphin, 
the  Daaphiness,  and  the  Princes  and  Princesses  of  the  blood  who 
were  at  Compicgnc.  Afterwards^  the  Grand  Master  of  the  Cerc- 
mooies  caused  a  marriage-ring  to  be  tried  on  the  third  finger  of  the 
left-hand  of  Madame  the  Dauphincss.  Monscigneur  the  Dauphin 
Uy  that  night,  as  on  the  night  preceding,  at  the  hoteJ  of  the  Comte 
de  St.  Florentin,  Minister  and  Secretary  of  State. 

•'  The  next  day  the  King,  accompanied  by  the  Dauphin  and  the 
Dauphincss,  &c.,  set  forth  from  Compicgnc,  for  (he  Chateau  de  la 
Mucttc  "  (in  the  Bois  dc  Boulogne),  *'  and  there  his  Majesty,  having 
ordrrcd  a  magnificcnc  set  of  diamonds  to  be  prepared  for  Madame 
the  Dauphiness,  caused  them  to  be  presented  to  her.  A  necklace  of 
pearis  was  also  destined  for  her,  the  smallest  of  which  was  the  size 
of  a  filbert.  This  necklace,  originally  brought  into  France  by  Aruic 
of  Austria,  was  always  the   property  of  the   Dauphiness  for  the  time 

being. The  next  day  (the   i6th  of  \lay)  about  ten  o'clock 

in  the  moniing,  Madame  the  Dauphiness  arrived  at  Versailles."

HISTORY   OF    HER   MAJESTY'S    THEATRl 

URING  the  past  year  London  h.is  lost  an  opera  ho 
which,  though  in  many  respects  faulty  as  regarded 
internal  arrangements,  was  certainly  one  of  the   brgest 
and  handsomest  in  Kurope.  ^ 

The  first  theatre  erected  in  the  Haymarkct,  on  the  site  of  the  ora| 
lately  destroyed  by  fire,  was  built  by  Sir  John  Vanbrugh.  It  was  raised 
by  thirty  persons  of  rank,  who — to  judge  from  the  inscription  of  the 
first  stone  to  the  celebrated  beauty.  Lady  Sutherland — were  of  the 
Whig  party.  Each  of  these  individuals  subscribed  looo/.  lowanfl 
the  expenses,  and  the  building  was  opened  to  the  public  April  g, 
1705,  with  an  Italian  Opera,  entitled  "The  Triumph  of  Love," 
which  was  withdrawn  at  the  end  of  three  nights,  having  on  each 
occasion  been  performed  to  a  scanty  audience.  It  was  immediately 
followed  by  "  The  Conspiracy  "  of  Sir  John  Vanbrugh,  a  comedy 
adapted  from  "Le  Bourgeois  a  la  Mode"  of  Dancour.  Soon  after  this, 
Congreve,  who  had  a  share  in  the  theatre,  resigned  Jt,  and  all  inter

fi  the  undertaking.     The  fault  of  the  house  was  its  size.     There  was 

tuch  an  undulation  in  the  voice  of  each  actor  that,  in  the  words  of 

Cibber>  '*  generally  what  they  said  sounded  like  the  gabbling  of  so 

many   people  in  the  lofty   aisles  of  a  caihcdral."     It  was  further 

objected  that  it  was  too  far  removed  from  the  more  populous  parts 

of  the  town.     Sir  John  Vanbrugh  presently  retired  in  favour  of  a 

Mr.  McSwincy,  who,  after  a  few  seasons  of  "  legitimate  drama,'* 

lemncd   to  Italian  opera.     The   first  work   of  this  kind  produced 

ufliier   hi*  management    was   "  Pyrrhus,"   supported    by    Nicolini, 

Valctitini,  and  Mrs.  Tofts.     The  second  of  this  eminent  trio  sang 

atTtrmtrt  in  "Camilla,"  using  his  own  language,  while  the  rest  of 

the  Company  sang  in  English. 

It  was  ai  the  Kingi's  Theatre  that  Hajidel  produced  many  of  hts 

I  open,  as  well  as  his  oratorio,  *'  Esther,"  which  was  performed  for 

^  Srst  time  in  this   country   in   May,    1732.       On    loth    June 

"Acisand  Galatea"  was  given,  with  dresses  and  decorations.     I'he 

I  thtaiicwas  burned  down  17th  June,  1789,  and  4x1,000/.  worth  of 

I   Pnjjwty  was  lost  in  the  flames.     The  fire  broke  out  a  little  before 

I  tai,  whilst  many  of  the  pcrformcis  were  practising  for  the  next 

tmuig,  oa  which  was  to  have  been  a  benefit  for  Signor  Ravelli,  the 

wing  manager,  and  Mr.  William  Taylor,  the  proprietor.     Madame 

,  wdii  was  saved  only  by  the  courage  of  a  fireman,  who  rescued 

^  at  the  risk  of  his  life.     The  heat  of  the  flames  was  felt  even  in 

^.  James's   Square  and   Leicester  Fields.     The  conflagration   was 

^'■^tu  be  the  work  of  Pictro  Camivalli,  the  leader  uf  the  orchestra, 

"xt  whose  wife  had  been  one  of  the  leading  singers.      He  is  re- 

PWled  to  have  confessed  on  his  death-bed,  about  a   year  afterwards, 

""I  he  did  it  out  of  revenge  for  an  affront  from  RavclU,  who  had 

""Ktrly  been   a   monk,    and  who   had   the   sobriquet   of   "Don 

Axiconio." 

ITie  new  theatre  was  built  during  1790,  the  first  stone  being  laid 
■  Iti  April  of  that  year,  by  the  Right  Hon.  John  Hobart,  Earl  of 
"•ckin^am.  The  architect  was  Michael  Novosiclski.  The  theatre 
fOKd  25th  March,  1 791,  for  music  and  dancing  only,  a  theatrical 
■ttncc  having  been  refiised.  It  was  called  the  '''  King's  Theatre," 
*  Was  also  the  Opera,  then  established  at  the  Pantheon,  Oxford

new  Op«ra,  it  was  arranged  by  a  committee,  headed  by  the  Prince  of 
Wales,  that  it  should  assume  his  liabilities,  as  the  condition  of  geiting 
back   his  licence.     Thus  the  enterprise  scaited  under  a  burden  of 
30,000/.,  besides  that  of  the  tremendous  outlay  for  the  building  and 
opening  of  the  theatre.     The  management,  before  long,  devolved 
upon  Mr.  Taylor,  in  whose  hands  it  remained  till  J  803,  in  which 
and  the  following  year  he  sold  Mr.  Goold  shares   to  the  amount 
of  17,500/.,  or  scvcn-sixtccnths  of  the  whole,  the  remaining  sharts 
being  mortgaged  to  the  same  gentleman  for  5,700/.     The  ground 
was  held  on  lease  from  the  Crown,  the  audience  and  stage  parts 
on  two  distinct  leases  ;   the  former,  at  ra6o/.,  the  latter  at  300/. 
per   annum.      Both    leases   extended   co    1891.     Goold    continued 
manager  till  his  death  in  1807.     The  great  attraction  of  his  reign 
was  Calalani,  whose  salary  for  one  yew  w.is  5000/.,  her  total  profits, 
with  concerts,  etc.,  being,  16,700/.  Goold  was  succeeded  by  Taylor, 
who  was  soon  engaged   in    Chancery   proceedings   with    Walters, 
Goold's  executor.     In  1813  the  theatre  was  closed,  by  order  of  it 
Lord  Chancellor,  to  reopen  the  following  year  under  the  mans 
men t  of  Mr.  Waters,  who  purchased  it  under  decree  for   35,ooo/>i< 
In  the  meanwhile  Taylor  wa£  a  prisoner  in  the  King's  Bench. 
1813  the  building  was  put  up  for  sale,  and  the  whole  concern 
bought  by  Waters   for  70,150/.     To  raise  the  money  he  had  mort 
gaged  the  opera  house  and  other  property  to  Chambers,  the  bankeff 
who  accordingly  became  an  inmate  of  the  King's  Bench,  where  he 
remained  twenty  years,  for  some  time  carrying  on  the  management, 
and  dilating  on  the  advantages  of  a  spot  uninvaded  by  the  insolence 
and  ill-humour  of  singert. 

Amongst  the  earliest  oper-is  performed  at  this  theatre,  were 
"  Barbit-rc  "  of  Pacini,  and  the  "  Scmiramide  "  of  Bianchi, 
superseded  twenty  years  later  by  Rossini's  master-pieces  of  the  same 
lumcs.  It  was  here  that  Braham  made  his  dSut^  at  once  achieving 
immense  popularity.  He  was  the  first  English  tenor  who  won  a 
decided  success  in  Italian  opera.  Amongst  the  early  performers  wl^| 
Mrs.  Billington,  who  was  the  lirst  Englishwoman  who  gaine^^ 
laurels  on  the  Italian  stage  since  Cecilia  Davies  and  Anastasb 
Robinson.  She  was  associated  with  the  lovely  and  talented  Grasini, 
aunt  of  Giulia  Grisi. 

It  was  at  the  King's  Theatre  that  Mosan's  music  was  iirst  intrt^^ 
duced  to  the  English  public.  "  I>a  CIcmcnza  dt  Tito  "  was  pc^|

In    180&    Catalani  appeared,  proving   equally   and   unprecedcntcdly 
successful  in  tragedy  and  comedy.     In  1818  Rossini  was  introduced ; 
his  "Tancrcd"    being   followed   by   the   "  Barbicrc,"  the  *'Ccne- 
rtntola,"  and  the  "Italians  in  Algtera."     In  1824  came  Pasia,  and 
during  tbe  next  season  Veluci,  the  last  male  soprano  heard  in  London, 
who  lusutited  the  chief  pan  in  Meyerbeer's  ^^Crociato  in  Egitio," 
first  work  uf  this  composer  ever  performed  in  England. 
In  1828  the  theatre  passed  into  ihe  hands  of  MM.  Laporte  and 
ent }    the   farmer,   an    eminent    French   actor  who    uhimately 
Wunc  sole  manager.     At  this  time  the  opera  had  become  a  quarrel- 
tone  oligarchy,  and  no  man  ever  entered  on  a  reign    under  less 
jjropidous  circumstances.     At   his  very  outset  a  serious  objection 
iQS  oiscd   ta  the  removal   of  the  great  chandelier ;  and  there  was 
■nucJi  discontent  at  a  rule  of  the  new  manager's,  that  no  one  should 
kaHoved  behind  the  scenes  except  on  business  connected  with  the 
■ige;    The  brightest  star  of  the  season  was  Madame  Pasta,  then 
itilie  height  of  hci  fame,  who  ventured  on  a  daiing  but  not  alto- 
piitcr  successful  experiment  by  undertaking  the  part  of  OthrUs  in 
Reuini's  opera  of  that  name.     Malibran  was  engaged  by  Laporte 
fcr seventy  guineas  a  night, .md  made  hrr  first  appearance  in  London 
^Dtsdrmsna.     The  critics,  objected  to  her  performance  as  being 
too  essentially  dift'erent   from   Pasta' s.     Mdllc.  Suntag  had  also  been 
Ogijed,  and  t.-uriofity  was  excited  by  every  means  in  the  manager's 
P^wcr,  a  tbousajid  anecdotes  being  set  alloat  concerning  her,  and 
j     fw"  romantic  history  "  being  dilated  upon  in  the  most  extravagant 
'     temtt.    Before  the  season  was  over,  Sontag  and  the  manager  quar- 
reUed.    In  1829  ''^stalls"  were  introduced,  and  though  the  innova^ 
tioo  caused  much  dissatisfaction,  it  was  persisted  in,  and^  was  soon 

|*cki»wledged  as  an  improvement.  In  1830  Taglioni  made  her 
^'w/ in  the  ballet  of  ^''(luillaume  Tell,"  adapted  from  Rossini's 
i>iKn,  won  instant  popularity,  created  an  entirely  new  school  of 
i«ic«^,  and  helped  to  revive  the  declining  taste  for  that  art.  During 
tiu  tame  season  appeared  Louis  LabUchc  ;  and  in  1831  Rubini, 
oBed  "the  king  of  tenors."  In  1831  a  Mr.  Monk  Mason  took  the 
licart  at  the  exorbitant  rental  of  16,000/.  He  was  not  a  speculator 
•"  the  ordinary  sense  of  the  word,  and  aimed  at  raising  the  opera  to 
'  hei^t  that  it  had  never  yet  attained  in  this  country.  His 
oncrprisc,  commercially,  was  a  failure;  but   it  scivcd  to  introduce

At  the  close  of  Mr.  Monk  Mason's  season,  M.  Laporte  resumed 
the  management.     He  brought  forward  Fanny  Ellsler,  who  did  not 
at  once  gain  the  favour  she  deserved,  and  in  1834  the  charming 
Duvcrnay.     By  this  time  the  music  of  Bellini  was  rising  into  favour 
and  amongst  the  new  singers  engaged  was  Giulia  Grisi.     Year  b 
year  the  position  of  the  manager  became  more  unbearable.     £very' 
thing  wa&  ruled  by  a  combination  of  singers  that  was  encouraged  in 
its  course  by  many  young  men  of  fashion,  and  which  obtained  the 
sobriquet  of  "La  viclle  garde,"  and  later  of  the  "Cabal."     In  1B35

cial  department  of  the  theatre.     In  1838  the  name  of  the  house  was 
altered  to  **  Her  Majesty's  Theatre."     About  1840  an  airaogemenc 
was  effected  between  the  ;issignccs  of  Chambers  and  the  other  con- 
flicting parties  ;  ajid  the  building  being  offered  for  sale,  was  bought 
by  Mr.  Lumlej*.     The  latter  part  of  Laportc's  reign  wis  embittered 
by  the  tyranny  of  the  "  Cabal ;"  and  in  order  to  break  it  up,  he  pur- 
posely neglected  to  engage  Tamburtni  ;  so  that  on  the  very  night 
that  Ccrito  was  to  hive  made  her  di'^ut^  the  theatre  became  the 
scene  of  a  disgraceful  riot,  led  by  a  prince  of  the  blood. 

The  other  chief  events  of  the  season  were  the  appearance  of 
Rachel  and  a  French  company,  of  Ronconi  as  Enrica  in  *'  Lucis," 
and  Ronconi's  farewell  to  the  stage.  *^  Ah,"  cried  he,  **  if  you  buta^ 
knew  how  difficult  I  hnd  it  to  resolve  on  relinquishing  too/,  a  day!**^! 
Before  the  season  was  over  Laporte  died  in  Paris,  and,  much  against 
his  will,  Lumley  was  persuaded  to  become  sole  manager.  On  the 
a5th  of  March,  J843,  appeared  the  celebrated  basso,  Fornasan,  who 
achieved  unparalleled  popularity,  hut  6uled  to  sustain  it  in  after 
years.  "  Linda  "  and  "  Don  Pasqualc  "  were  presently  produced, 
the  latter  being  a  great  success  through  the  singing  of  Grisi  and 
Mario.  Towards  the  close  of  the  season  Lola  Montez  made  bei 
rf/Aur,  and  gave  considerable  offence.  1844  was  signalised  by  ih 
performance  of  Costa's  "  Don  Carlos,"  the  appearance  of  Fav 
(Miss  Edwards)  in  the  "  Ccncrentola,"  and  of  Fornasari  i 
**  Zampa ;"  also  by  the  occurrence  of  two  tiou,  the  one  in  lavour

of  the  engigement  of  an  unknown  tenor  named  Salvi,  and  the  other 
oo  account  of  a  supposed  insult  to  the  Dulee  of  Beaufon  by  Signor 
Leon,  the  dancer,  and  the  husband  of  Ccrito.  On  the  8lh  of  March, 
1846^  "Emani "  was  brought  forward,  with  Angelina  Bosio  as  the 
heroine.  The  "  Desert,**  by  Fcllctcn  David,  was  also  produced. 
A  sensation  was  caused  by  the  Viennese  dancers,  ihirt)'-six  little 
giris  admirably  trained.  A  great  feature  in  the  ballet  this  year  was 
ihc  f«t  J*  quatrfy  designed  by  Pcrrot,  and  danced  by  T^lioni, 
Ceriio,  Carlotta  Grtsi,  and  Lucille  Gnihn.  Previous  to  the  season 
of  1846,  Lunoley  spent  to,ooo/.  in  decorations.  Soon  afterwards  a 
dispute  began  with  Costa  about  the  directorship  of  the  Philharmonic 
Concerts.  On  the  20th  of  May  there  was  a  disturbance  in  the 
theatre  caused  by  the  hoarseness  of  Mario  and  the  non-appearance  of 
Ccjito.  The  same  evening  the  King  of  the  Belgians  and  Ibraham 
Puha  Were  present.  184.7  was  the  year  of  secession.  Costa,  Grisli 
Mario,  Persian),  and  Tamburini  joined  the  new  establishment  at 
Covetu  Garden.  Lumley  employed  yraschini  and  Gardoni  as  his 
tenors,  and  outstripped  all  rivalry  by  the  engagement  of  Jenny  Lind, 
who  appeared  on  the  4th  of  May.  The  engagement,  secured  with 
much  difficulty,  led  co  lit^ation  with  Mr.  Bonn  of  Drury  Lane. 
The  next  season  the  young  Swede  was  stiH  immensely  popular,  and 
CruvcUi  sang  and  made  a  mark,  by  her  Hne  voice  and  impulsive 
acting.  Sims  Reeves  also  came  forw-ird,  but  being  disappointed  at 
iKit  being  cast  (or  Edgarda  in  *' Lucia,"  retired.  In  1849  Alboni 
joined  her  .Majesty's,  having  already  made  a  deep  impression  at  the 
other  house.  In  May,  Jenny  Lind  performed  for  the  last  time.  On 
the  7th  of  July,  Sontag  (Countess  Rossi)  returned  to  the  stage,  her 
voice  Hill  unimpaired.  During  the  next  year  Sims  Reeves  and 
Catherine  Hayes  sang  together  in  *'  Lucia,"  and  on  the  8th  of  July 
Haltvr's  "  Tempesta  "  was  played  for  the  first  time  ;  but  though  a 
work  of  some  merit  it  was  not  a  real  success,  its  principal  attractions 
bring  Dr.  Arnc'f  air  of  "  Where  the  Bee  sucks,'*  and  Lablachc's 
GuEimv,  which  was  considered  his  Rnest  part.  Before  the  close  of 
ibe  season  the  *''  Black  Malibran,"  M:}ria  .Martinez,  appeared.  In 
1S51  Auber's  **  Prodigue  "  was  performed,  with  panial  success.  In 
1853  an  anempt  was  made  to  establish  a  management  by  a  limited 
lability  company,  but  without  cfTcct,  and  the  building  remained 
closed  for  three  years.  It  rc-opencd  in  1856  with  the  re-appearance 
of  Alboni.  On  the  24th  of  May,  Maria  Piccolomini  sang  for  the 
time,  and  though  she  was  neither  a  &ne  actress  nor  a  great 


singer,  she  created  a  profound  effect*  chiefly  by  the  fire  and  im- 
pulsivcncss  of  her  style.  On  the  14th  of  June»  Johaniu  Wj^er 
played  the  part  of  Ri>mto^  but  though  she  pleased  at  first,  she  did  not 
deepen  the  impression  she  bod  made.  Her  services  had  been  fought 
for  by  the  two  houses  with  bluer  rivalry.  In  1857  Guiglini  appeared 
in  the  *^  Favorlta,"  and  at  once  gained  an  honourable  position. 
During  the  next  season  Titiens  was  introduced  as  yaUntina  in  the 
"Huguenots."  Lumlcy  retiring,  E.  T.  Smith  became  lessee,  open- 
ing the  theatre  lOth  of  April,  i860.  On  Boxing  night  he  produced 
"  Tom  Thumb,"  the  first  pantomime  performed  on  the  lyric  stage. 
His  reign  was  remarkable  for  the  appointment  of  Luigi  Arditi  as 
musical  conductor.  During  his  management,  which  lasted  about  a 
year,  he  carried  out  many  important  alterations  and  improvements. 
On  the  26th  of  May,  1862,  J.  H.  Mapleson  took  the  theatre^  having 
made  a  previous  essay  at  operatic  management  at  the  Lyceum.  In 
1863  he  brought  forward  Gounod's  "  Faust,"  the  most  popular  of 
modern  operas.  On  Monday,  November  7th,  1864,  Mr.  William 
Harrison  commenced  a  season  of  English  opera  with  Mailkrt's 
"  Lara."  An  Italian  season  was  begun  April  22nd|  t8&5i  another 
7ch  April,  1866,  and  a  third  in  the  summer  of  1867. 

The  principal  peculiirities  of  Her  Majesty's  Theatre  were  its 
acoustic  properties,  and  the  fuct  that  it  was  the  first  instance  of  the 
adoption  of  the  horse-shoe  form  of  auditory  in  this  couiRry.  It  was 
remodelled  in  1818  and  1820,  by  Nash  and  Repton,  the  exterior  in 
the  Roman-Doric  style.  The  bas-relief  on  the  Haymarket  side, 
representing  the  Progress  of  Music,  with  Apollo  and  the  Muses  in 
the  Centre — was  by  Bubb.  It  was  the  largest  theatre  in  England, 
its  internal  dimensions  being  within  a  few  feet  of  those  of  the  grand 
Opera  at  Milan.  The  length  from  the  curtain  to  the  back  of  the 
boxes  was  102  h. ;  the  extreme  width  to  the  back  of  the  boxes, 
75  ft. ;  the  width  at  the  curtain,  40  ft.  ;  that  of  the  pit,  65  ft. 
The  height  to  the  ceiling  was  56  ft.  The  measure  measured 
60  ft.  from  the  orchestra  to  the  back  wall,  and  80  ft.  between  the 
side  walls.  The  building  was  of  brick,  covered  with  Roman 
cement.  The  entablature  was  of  Bath  stone.  The  surrounding 
columnsi  coloured  like  stone,  were  of  cast-iron,  and  17  ft.  in  height. 
The  east,  or  principal  front,  was  283  ft.  long,  and  64  ft.  high.  The 
exterior  colonnades  and  fai^ades  were  furnished  by  Nash  and  Repton 
in  1818,  at  a  cost  of  50,000/.

THE   WESTMINSTER   PLAY. 

HE  **A(IcIphi"  of  Terence  was  perfoimed  by  the  Queen's 
Scholars  at  St.  Peter's  College,  Westminster,  on  the  nights 
of  the  i2th(  17th,  and  19th  of  December.  The  dormi- 
tory where,  according  to  ancient  custom,  the  p!ay  was  put 
upon  the  stage,  was  densely  crowded  on  each  of  (he  three  nights— a 
proof,  if  one  be  needed,  that  the  popularity  of  dramatic  entertainments 
in  general,  and  of  Terence  in  particular,  has  in  no  way  fallen  off, 
H.R.K.  Prince  Anhur,  the  Bishop  of  Rochester,  the  Dean  ot 
Westminster,  Lady  A.  Stanley,  Sir  R.  Phillimorc,and  a  distinguished 
pcuty,  were  present  on  the  concluding  night  of  the  performances. 

Tbc  "  Adclphi "  is  not,  perhaps,  a  very  good  acting  play.  There  is 
too  much  dialogue,  and  most  of  it  is  absorbed  by  the  two  brothers, 
MtM  and  Dtmta.  To  modern  audiences  who  are  accustomed  to  what 
the  French  call  Ufracat  ih/alral^  it  is  wearisome  to  hear  the  plot  slowly 
ertdved  in  conversation  with  scarcely  any  incident  or  change  of  scenery. 
The  vit  eamica  a  imbedded  in  the  language  of  the  poet,  and  it  requires 
considerable  histrionic  talent  to  exhibit  it  in  action  to  the  audience. 
The  following  was  the  cast ;  —

It  is  hardly  fair  to  look  for  perfection^  or  even  very  marked 
Ability,  In  the  performance  of  )'outhful  amateur  actors,  but  certainly 
the  /Eiehiam  of  Mr.  Bray  and  the  Cttiiphg  of  Mr.  Dasent  seemed 
descnriog  of  the  highest  praise ;  and  there  was  an  elegance  and 
power  in  Mr.  O'Brien's  irapersotutton  of  Getii^  which  was  panicu- 
Url^  Admired  and  loudly  cheered.  He  threw  himself,  heart  and  soul, 
ifUO  his  part,  the  same  which  three  ur  four  years  ago  was  sustained 
afnally  well  by  his  elder  brother  1  his  natural  aptitude  for  the  clas- 
ocal  stage  was  especially  apparent  in  his  lively  and  amusing  dialogue 
with  Oeiiphoy  and  ihe  well-known  drunken  fit  iu  the  fifth  act.  The 
part  of  the  droll  and  cunning  Syryt  lost  nothing  in  the  hands  uf  Mr. 
Gilo.  The  female  characters  of  Sittrata  and  Caathara  were  capi- 
tally sustained  by  Messrs.  Darlcy  and  Eddts,  the  former  of  whom 
went  off  into  hysterics  to  perfection  in  the  third  act.

DISTINGUISHED   MUSICIANS.* 

IN   the  second  day  of  July,   1714,  ai  WeUsenwangen,  was. 
bom  a  BohL-iuian  chilil  whusenamc,  now  immonali&ctl,  diJ 
ihcn  bul  belong  to  the  chief  forester  of  llic  Prin«  dc 
Ixibbowitz — iursuch  was  tlic  fathir  ofClmstopher  Gluck. 
Unprophctic  wcru  friends  and  neighbours  that  the  child 
whose  cry  was  then  first  heard  in  the  world  would  some  day  ihrill  it 
with  harmony  \  for  •»  careless  were  they  in  chronicling  the  exact  date 
of  his  birth,  that  in  afler  years  it  was  wiili  difficulty  eiuciditlcd  as  above 
Mated  ;  and  although,  for  the  few  first  summers  of  his  life,  the  boy  mielic  , 
ha%*e  been  seeii  listening  with  delight  to  the  singing  of  birds  in  hi* 
native    forest    home,  he    soon  disappeared  from   its   neighbourhood 
altogether,  for  his  father  died,  and  he  was  sent  to  the  city  of  Prague — 
probably  at  the  expense  of  the  Prince  dc  Loblcowitr — there  to  Icam 
music  in  one  of  those  popular  schools  which  have  done  so  much  to 
develop  German,  and  cspcc:ialiy  Bohemian,  talent     The  orphan  lio)* 
was  poor  in  all  save  genius  and  courage ;   lus  genius  soon  displayi^  I 
itself  on  various  instruments — especially  on  the  violoncello — and  hit! 
courage  was  manifested  when,  ai  or  aljoul  fourteen  years  oC  age,  bc| 
iTavcHcd  to  Vienna — as  a  strollinR  musician,  it  is  supposed — Iherc  to  ■ 
pursue  his  studies,  and  to  support  himself  by  the  exercise  of  hts  laloQU- 

Somc  years  later — years  they  must  have  been  of  ihiift  and  hard  worlc  ' 
^he  weiu  to  Italy,  and  there  placet!  himself  under  the  direction  of  the 
great  musician,  San  Martini ;  but  it  was  not  until  1741  thai  Oliick's  (uitj 
opera,  "  Artaxcr.\es,''  was  placed  en  the  sUge  at  Milan. 

This,  being  followed  by  others,  attracted  sufficient  notice  for  the  ji 
composer  to  be  invited  to  London,  there  to  produce  an  opera  aftcncanla 
known  as  "  t^  Chute  des  Gt-ants,"    but  whith  only  attained  a  vcryl 
moderate  success  in    England.     Willi  the  composer  Ame,  however,! 
Gluck   was  in    this  country  associated,  there  being  much   s>'mpathy 
between  them  in  point  of  classical  dramatic  tastes  aiwl  literary  pureuits;! 
and  as  Arne's  wife  was  a  vocalist  of  the  first  order,  the  Iiolicniian| 
musidan  found  consolation  in  their  society  for  professional  disappoint- 
ment,  and  resolved  to  profit  by  English  criticism,  as  was  proved  on  his^ 
return  to  Vienna  by  the  amelioration  of  his  style.     ^Vorking  on  with  the 
sanic  courage  dauntlessly  displayed  b>'  him  in  combating  the  difficulties 
of  his  earlier  life,  Gliick  accomplished    his  ehef-ifa-uvn,  "  Orfco,"  in  I 
which  opera  subUrae  and  pathetic  strains  aUemalcIy  succeed  each  oilier,  | 
and,  as  declares  a  French  biographer  of  Gliick,  to  whom  we  are  indebte  J  ' 
fw  some  facts  above  glanced  at,  "  Kien  dc  plus  suave,  dc  plus  pallictiiiuei 
t^ue  les  accents  d'Orph^  apaisant  gmduellement  la  furcur  des  cspnts] 
infemaux." 

It  was  in  1764  tliat  Gluck  completed  his  great  opera  of  "Oifeo."  and] 
in  1 765  he  produced  a  little  opbra  de  drccmtance  on  tlie  maniage  of  the] 
Emperor  Joseph,  son  of  Maria  Theresa  Queen-Empress  of  Austria,-

foregoing  slight  biographical  sketch  of  that  composer  may  possibly  help 
CD  give  an  additional  interest  to  the  collection  of  his  Letters,  now  trans- 
lated from  the  Gcniian  and  offered  to  the  Fnglish  public  by  I-idy

ptiietit  rr*eafch.  as  she  has  evinced  in  the  work  before  us,  should  have 
n^lected  to  place  some  account  of  Gliick's  life  before  his  epistolary 
corrcspond«nce  now  under  notice.  And  more  especially  is  this  omission 
imaccoimublc  when  Lady  Wallace  in  her  Preface  says: — "The  name 
of  "'  -  >datcd  with  a  revolution  in  music.     He  propounded 

pr  were  generally  unacceptable,  and  he  never  faltered  in 

whAi  be  »upi>o5cd  to  be  his  duty.  His  letters  tell  the  story  of  a  nun 
aseuicd  of  the  truth  of  his  convictions."  Why  did  not  Lady  Wallace 
tell  tlicstwy  of  MfMdn  herself?  Had  she  done  so  it  might  have  left 
01  3  lojger  margin  here  for  quotations  from  her  translations  of  his 
letters.  NcitTtheless,  we  must  thank  Lady  Wallace  for  reminding  us  of 
Ibc  Fri'i;^h  Dr.  Bumey's  desciiption  of  Gliick,  when,  in  1773,  he  paid

But,  even  after  that  great  triumph  of  his  h'ft,  Gluck  was  still  so  harassed 
by  aJvcrse  criticiMn  that  in  Nov,  1779,  we  find  him,  through  the 
iiiediuni  of  l^dy  Wallace,  writing  from  Vienna  thus  :"....!  mean  10 

write  no  niuru  ()[>cr3!i. I  have  liiiihJied  my  career;  o))'  age  and 

the  annoyances  I  lately  met  with  in  Pans  about  my  opera  'Narcisse' 
have  for  c^^cr  <li^^3icd  mc  from  again  writing  0]H:ra<i " 

In  1786,  Gliick  made  his  will,  in  which  he  appointed  his  "dear  wife, 
Anna  Von  Gliick,  «^  Bcrgin,"  his  heir,  "sole  and  exclusive,"  and  in 
1787  he  died  of  apoplexy  at  Vienna. 

Various  are  the  professional  thoughts  of  Gliiclc  presented  1;y  l^y 
Wallace's  translation  of  some  of  his  tetters  ;  but  with  r<^n1  to  bit^niphy, 
or  autobiography,  she  has  been  more  liberal  in  her  notice  of  Bach. — ^n 
the  great  "  Johann  Sebastian  Bach,  Capellmeisler,  and  finally  Music- 
Director  at  Leipzig,"  but  Carl  Philipp  Emanuel  Bach,  one  of  ihe  four 
emincmiy  musical  sons  of  that  celebrated  composer. 

Carl  Rich,  ihough  allowcti  space  Jn  Lady  Wallace's  pages  to  tell  the 
story  of  his  own  life,  was,  on  the  whole,  such  a  prosperous  man  that  i 
is  surprising  he  should  have  felt  impelled  to  write  about  himself.     Hi 
£ithcr  had  paved  the  way  for  him  "in  his  profession.     "  What's  in  a 
name?"     A  great  deal,  as  proved  by  Carl  Bach.     And  in  1744,  "I 
married,'' says  he,  "Johanna  Maria  iJanncman,  daughter  of  a  Berll: 
wine  merchant,    the    fnitts   of  this   marriage   being  two   sons  and 
daughter,  all  now  living." 

Dr.  Bumcy,  in  his  "  Joum;U  of  a  Tour,"  mentions  having  vistled  C 
Bach  at  Hamburg,  and  "  found  witii  him  tliree  or  four  rational  iin 
well-bred   persons,  his  friends,  hesidcs  his  own  family,  consisting  o\ 
Madame  Bach,  \\\^  eldest  son,  who  pracliscs  the  law,  and  his  daughter. 
'I'hc  instant  I  entered,"  says  Or.   Bumey,  "he  ronducicd  mc  ujt'ilarrs 
into  a  large  ami  clcganl  music  room,  furnished  with  i)ii:lurcs,  drawing 

ami  prints  of  more  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  eminent  musicians. 

After  I  hail  looked  at  these,  M.  Bach  wa.s  so  obliging  as  to  sil  down  to 
his  Silbermann  cLivichord,  and  favourite  instntmcnl,   upon  whic-h  h 
pLiyed  three  or  four  of  his  choicest  and  most  diflic ult  compositions  w^th 
the  delicacy,  precision,  and  spirit,  for  which  he  is  so  justly  celebrated 

among  his  couna^-men He  is  now  fifty-nine,  rather   short  in 

stature,  with  black  hair  and  eyes,  and  brown  complexion  ;  has  a  very 
animated  countenance,  and  is  of  a  cheerful    and  lively  disposition." 
And  yet  tliis  prosperous  and  domesticated  Carl  Bach  was  in  some  sort 
"  the  founder  of  pianoforte  music,  in  the  same  way  that  Gliirlt  is  ih 
of  the  Murical  Drama."    He  was  liom  in  1714,  the  same  year  as  tba 
in  which  Gliiclt  Is  affirmed  to  have  first  seen  the  light,  and  died 
1788,  the  year  after  that  of  Gluck's  death. 

Joseph  H.iydn !  We  here  salute  that  glorious  composer,  who,  in 
Lady  Wallace's  volume,  follows  Carl  Bach  ;  and  as  his  biography  and 
autobiography  are  both  there  given,  the  reader  of  leisure,  interested 
in  the  subject,  will  do  well  to  consult  them  for  himself,  together  with 
the  various  letters  following  them,  most  of  whicli  are  addressed  to  Fnia 
V.  Uenzinger,  his  "  fair  musical  friend,"  who  sends  him  her  music, 
whose  young  daughter  appears  at  one  time  to  have  been  his  pupil,  and 
between  whose  family  and  himself  much  sympathy  existed.  Most  so. 
however,  with  the  talented  fair  Frau  lierself,  to  whom  Haydn  in  June,

1 790,  *-rilcfi  :  "  Friernls !  HTut  do  I  say  ?  Our  tnic  friend  ;  Ihere  are 
DO  (ongCT  anjr  true  rricndg,  but  one  fcnule  friend.    Oh,  yof.  \  tio  doubu 

I  ititt  have  one,  but  she  U  Ut  away May  God  bless  her,  and 

may  «he  ncKr  forget  me.  Meanwhile,  I  Ittss  youi  tiands  a  thousand 
tunes." 

Ill  the  course  of  these  lelCers  there  are  many  pleasant  glim;>5cs  of 
niiou»  ^is  in  Haydn's  long  life.  Bum  March  21.  1733,  he-  inhcritcxl 
from  hts  (ather — a  common  wheelwright  in  the  market-town  of  Rohran, 
Lower  Austria — a  love  of  music ;  for  Haydn's  father  had  tcamcti  or 
til'/  i^clf  [II  play  the  harj),  and  on  Sunday  he  playcilhis  songs, 

« Iria  mother  sanj;  them.     Never  di<j    Haydn  himself  forget 

thijM:  ^un)(Ic  snng^,  or  how  he  himself,  as  a  rhiltl  of  live  ycarsi,  was  wont 
to  sit  beside  his  p.ircnts,  "and  taking  a  piece  of  wood  in  his  right  hand, 
scrafw  away  at  his  left  shoulder,  prciending  to  play  the  violin." 

In  his  Kcventh  year,  however,  these  humble  home  delights  came  to  an 
end,  for  ihe  boy  was  adopted  by  the  Capellmcisicr  Von  Rcuttcr,  who 
placed  him  in  the  Capcit  Haus  at  Vienna,  for  the  purpose  of  educating 
the  rmisical  genius  already  manifested  by  him.  Soon  did  the  young 
}laydn  sine  soprano  both  at  Sl  Stephen's  and  at  Court,  for  he  was  a 
cfaomier  ;  but  at  sixteen  years  of  age  he  lost  his  voice.  Not  less  did  he 
cootinue  his  musical  studies  with  ardour ;  and,  one  opportunity  after 
anoilher  favouring  him,  he  was  eventually  removed  from  Vienna  to 
Enoras,  and  there  appointed  Capetlmcistcr  to  his  Highness  Prince 
Efterhazy,  in  who&e  &cr^-ice  he  continued  for  many  years,  and  "  hoped 
to  live  and  die." 

Hut  the  Piincc  died,  and  Haydn,  having  inherited  a  pension  for  life  of 
1000  florins,  and  being  inviied  professionally  to  London,  set  off  ihithei 
when  be  was  sixty  years  of  age,  and  upon  that  occasion  embraced  for 
the  \ja\.  time  bis  pupil  Mozart.  Mosart,  indeed,  strove  to  prevent 
Haydn's  departure.  ''Papa,"  &aid  he,  "  you  have  had  no  training  for 
the  great  world,  and  can  speak  but  few  languages."  "  My  language," 
replied  Haydni  "is  undcretood  all  over  the  world."  "  Mozart,"  as  Lady 
Wallace  tells  us,  "  would  not  leave  his  revered  friend  the  whole  day. 
He  dined  with  him  (at  Vienna),  and  at  the  moment  of  their  separation 
nid,  with  tears  in  his  eyes,  '  We  sliall,  no  doubt,  now  uke  our  last  fare- 
well in  this  life  1 '  Haydn,  too,  was  deeply  affected,  interpreting  these 
wotd.'i  as  referring  to  himself,  the  old  man  ;  but  scarcely  had  a  year 
elapsed  when  he  had  to  make  the  folloMing  entr)-  in  his  diary,  '  Mozart 
died,  Decembers,  1791."* 

(Ireal  were  Haydn's  professional  evploils  in  I^ndon,  where,  however, 
an  adverw  clique  attemptetl  to  bring  forward  his  pupil  Pleyel  in  opposi- 
tion to  him ;  but  by  the  good  feeling  subsisting  Iwtwecn  these  two 
toaucians,  such  cru::l  attempts  to  make  them  rivals  were  overcome. 

A  Doctor's  degree  was  meanwhile  conferred  on  Haydn  at  Oxford, 
and  in  Ihe  came  letter  recording  this  fact,  addressed  to  Ihc  "  dearest  and 
kindest  lady,"  Fmu  V,  Ocniiiigcr,  he  tnentions  a  visit  he  had  lately  paid 
to  die  Duke  of  York's  country'  scat,  by  express  invitation  of  Ihe  Prince 
of  W«lei  (Geoige  IV.).  "The  Prince  presented  me,"  says  Hadyn,  "to 
the  Ducheis  (a  daughter  of  the  King  of  Prussia),  who  received  me  very 
Daoounly,  and  &aid  many  flattering  things.  She  is  the  most  charming

sings   plt^^isiiigly.       I    stayed  two   days  there No    compositions 

pUyed  but  Haydn's.  I  directed  tlie  symphoules  at  the  piano,  'lite 
sweci  Utile  lady  sat  dose  beside  mc  at  my  left  hand,  and  hummed  all 
the  pieces  from  nicmor)',  having  heard  them  so  repeatedly  in  Berlib. 
The  Prince  of  Wales  sal  at  ray  right  hand,  and  accompanied  me  very 
tolerably  on  the  violoncello.  Tliey  made  me  sing,  too.  The  Priace  of 
Wales  is  liaving  me  painted  just  now,  and  lite  poitrait  is  to  be  hung  u{i 
in  his  private  sitting-room.  The  frince  of  Wales  is  the  tiandsomcst 
man  on  the  face  of  Goal's  eartli ;  he  has  au  extraordinary  love  of  musir, 
and  a  great  deal  uf  feeling,  but  very  little  money.  N^a  beatt  this  is 
mtre  ii^us." 

As  Haydn  ihus  alludes  to  his  o\vn  portrait,  and  as  one  of  him  is  pre- 
fixed to  tlic  collection  of  his  Letters  now  before  us,  it  is  interesting  to 
look,  at  it.  But  Haydn  was  no  longer  young  when  it  u-as  taiceo.  nnd 
though  the  iire  of  his  immortal  genius  may  siiU  have  illumined  hii 
features  in  life,  they  look  heavy ;  the  rose  large  and  long :  the  jjw 
massive,  with  under-lip  projecting ;  the  eye  penetrating,  but  overhung 
by  somewhat  bushy  eyebrow;  the  head,  on  which  is  worn  a  carefully- 
combed  and  curled  wig  with  long  pigtail,  bent  forward  on  the  chest,  whidi 
defect  13  increased  by  the  large  folded  coat-collar  standing  up  high  at 
the  nape  of  the  neck  ; — and  yet,  though  heavy,  Haydn's  countenance 
is  benevolent,  and  must  have  been  susceptible,  when  animated  by  the 
spirit  within,  of  emotional  and  varied  expression,  of  sublime  inspiratioa, 
and  of  human  hope  or  fear. 

"As  for  myself,  now  an  old  man,"  H.Tydn  wriles  in  1799,  "  I  only 
hope  that  the  critics  may  not  handle  my  "  Creation  "  wiili  too  great 
severity,  and  be  too  hard  on  it ;"  by  which  passage  this  great  master 
only  proves  the  trutli  of  his  own  assertion,  that  "  his  Heavenly  Father 
had  preserved  him  all  his  life  long  from  conceit  and  arrogance." 

Meek  was  this  great  genius ;  so  much  so.  tliat  when  he  heard  that  the 
Parisian  anists  had  crabelliBhcd  the  "  Creation,"  he  wrote  to  them, 
generously  declaring  his  appreciation  of  their  talents,  and  protesting 
that  they  had  "  earned  the  right  to  share  in  the  applause  the  composi- 
tion has  called  forth."  '*  Yes,  gentlemen,"  Haydn  nobly  added,  ''yes, 
you  have  crowned  my  grey  hairs,  and  strewed  flowers  on  the  brink  of 
my  grave.  My  heart  cannot  express  what  it  feels,  nor  can  I  write  to 
you  all  my  profound  gratitude  and  devotion.  You  will  yourselves  know 
how  to  estimate  these  feelings ;  you,  gentlemen,  who  cultivate  the  arts 
from  enthusiasm,  and  not  from  self-interest,  and  who  regard  the  gifts  of 
fortune  as  nothing,  but  fame  as  everything. — Havds." 

Traces  of  the  same  liberal  spirit  arc  to  be  found  in  Haydn's  *' Last 
Will  and  Testament,"  a  copy  of  which  I.^y  WalUce  has  inserted  in  the 
interesting  volume  before  us.  _ 

Haydn  died  at  Vienna,  as  before  said,  in  iSog,  but  his  works  are  im-  fl 
mortal.  ' 

Without  Uiose  works  to  study,  would  the  genius  of  Weber,  Haydn's 
successor,  in  tlie  pages  before  us,  ever  have  been  developed  as  it  was? 
Upon  this  point  Lady  Wallace  would  have  given  us  better  means  of 
forming  an  opinion  had  she  prefixed  a  biographical  sketch  of  W'eber  CO 
his  numerous  Letters  row  presented  to  Uic  English  public  by  her.

itcts,  riihour  which  Webtr's  Iciicrs  might  never  have  been  written,  it 
be  pardonable  here  Irticfly  to  stale  that  Carl  Maria  S'on  Wcbcr, 
Dec.  18,  1786,  at  Eutjn,  Holsuin,  was  the  son  of  a  Iwron,  and 
i}Or  in  the  German  airnies,  whose  taste  for  music  an<t  painting  was, 
an  amateur,  rcta;u-kable.  TKe  young  Call,  fir^t  taught  by  liis  own 
iCT  to  pl*y  nnd  to  p.iint,  was,  at  a  vcrj-  early  age,  placed  by  him 
jtadA  such  musical  direction  as  seemed  most  likely  to  foster  his  one  great 
IbJcal;  and  it  is  scarcely,  therefore,  to  be  wonfJered  at  thai  by  twelve 
ijrarsof  age,  the  boy  had  composed  six  "petites  tii^ures  pour  le  clavecin." 
At  thirteen  years  of  age  he  wrote  his  trst  opera,  "  Die  Macht  lier  Lielw 
«nd  des  WeiDs  "  (The  Might  of  Love  and  Wine),  and  various  other 
'pieces  which,  at  a  later  date,  he  threw  into  the  fire. 

!As  eaily  as  November.  iSoo,  the  young  U'eber's  opera,  "  The  Wood 
Maidca,"  nas  successfully  represented,  not  only  at  the  Theatre  Royal 
of  Munich,    but    afterwards  at    Vienna,   .St.    K-tersburg,   and    riaguc. 
But  £tr  from  being  spoilt  by  this  premature  success,  he,  in  tSoj,  volun* 
I  tarily  placed  himself  under  the  "  sure  guidance  of  the  celebrated  Abbtf 
I  Voglcr  ;"  and  so  entirely  did  Wcl>cr  submit  himself  to  it,  that  for  two 
.  whole  years  he  renounced  composition,  and  gave  himself  up  to  the 
stody  of  great  masters  (Kaydn  included),  and  to  an  analysis  of  their 
theft  iCamrTf.     It  was  at  that  time  Weber  first  became  acquainted  with 
the  Tyroicse,  Johann  Cinsbocher,  bis  fellow  pupil  imder  Vogler,  and  to 
whom  most  of  his  rorre-^pondcnre,  now  mnslated  by  Lady  Wallace,  is 
addressed,  Gansbachcr  being  always  Weber's  "Dearest  and  best  friend 
and  brother  in  harmony." 

In  1804  Weber  was  appointed  Director  of  Music  at  Breslau  ;  and  in 
1806  the  Uukc  Eugene  of  Wurtembcrg,  a  most  enlightened  protector  of 
fine  arts,  invited  him  to  take  ujj  his  aliode  in  Silesia,  and  in  the  society 
of  that  Prince  did  Weber  dHcIl  there  until  tJie  political  events  of  the 
time  conipeUed  them  to  separate.  An  a5}-lum  was  theti  otTered  to 
Weber  by  Prince  Louis  (of  Wurteraberg),  at  Sluttgard ;  and  tliere^ 
amongst  other  things,  Weber  produced  his  opera  of  "  Sytvana,"  which 
indeed  was  but  another  and  more  finished  edition  of  hiii  "  Wood 
Itiaidcn."  before  mentioned. 

Great  though  his  genius,  Weber  was  still  but  little  known  in  name 
10  the  musical  world  at  large,  until,  in  i8ta,  a  great  patriotic  revival 
taking  plioe  in  his  native  land,  he  set  twelve  of  the  warrior  songs  of 
Ktcmcf  10  music,  and  these  being  published  untier  the  title  of'  Leicr 
und  Schwcrt  (Lyre  and  Sword),  won  for  him  fame,  .ind  the  appointment 
of  Director  of  Music  at  the  Opera  of  Prague. 

In  1S16  Weber  was  at  Berlin ;  there  he  published  some  of  his  most 
beautiful  sonata.^  ;  but  his  <ke/  d'ceuvn^KZ^  yet  to  come  ;  and  it  was  not 
until  June  18,  1821,  that  it  did  come  in  the  form  of'Der  Freyschiilz "' 
(Le  Franc  Tireurj,  which  glorious  opera  was  then  performed  at  the 
Kcenigstadt  theaue.  Fame,  then,  at  last  crowned  Weber  with  unfading 
laurels  ;  and,  meantime,  he  had  loved  and  married.  In  July,  1814,  he 
kod  written  to  bis  beloved  friend  Gansbacher,  before  alluded  to,  "  It  is 
JlCadlle.  Caroline  Brand,  whom  I  fervently  love,  and  daily  do  I  pray  to 
God  chat  He  wUI  vouchsafe  to  make  her  a  Uttle  better  than  the  rest  of 
bersex." 

Writing  ^m  Berlin,  Dec  t8i6,  he  mentions  his  completion  of  the  |

Ihiid  book  of  "  I.>Te  and  Sword,"  then'adds  :— "  On  the  19th  I  inviied 
ny  dearest  friends  to  an  oyster  feast,  and  was  betrothed  to  my  belored 
Litia.  If  she  remain  steady  all  this  year,  and  I  succeed  in  gettii^  a 
tolerably  good  appointment,  she  will  then  leave  the  theatre,  and  bccocne 
my  wife.  On  the  aotii  she  left  for  Dresden,  where  she  played  five 
times." 

In  March,  iSi  7.  he  writes  from  Dresden  of  his  appointment  as  Royal 
Saxon  Capcilmeistcr  and  Director  of  the  German  Opera,  and  in  1818 
says: — "  Novcmlwr  41I1  was  my  wedding-day,  which  was  kept  in  (be 
quietest  way.  .  .  but  in  all  dmcrfulness  and  happiness.  .  .  ."  Then 
follow  letter.'i  chiefly  on  j)rofes.siunal  subjects  but  here  and  there  giving 
forth  bright  gleams  of  ^S'cbe^'.<>  domcNiic  life,  and  telling  of  the  birth  of 
children.  Above  all  things  he  seem!)  anxious  to  prove  to  (jaosbadwt 
how  his  wife  svmpathiscd  in  his  fricnd.-ihip  for  that  companion  of  his 
youth  and  early  studies  :  "  My  I,iTia,"hc  «Thcs  in  1822,  "My  hina  feels 
just  as  I  do.  May  God  prosper  your  work,  and  my  faithful  effortst" 
Weber  was  no  lonfjer  solitary  in  his  home  ;  bm  his  health  was  rapidly 
declining.  He  had  achieved  great  fame,  but  not  for  long  did  he  rcmaio 
on  earth  to  enjoy  it. 

In  181 1  he  had  written  thus:  "Weighed  down  by  struggling  against 
adverse  circumstances  I  have  attained  so  much  apparent  calmness  tliil 
few,  under  my  cheerful,  nay,  even  gfly,  exterior,  are  likely  to  disco' 
the  grief  that  consumes  me,  oppressing  and  irritating  both  body  and 
soul.  Does  the  wave  rise  only  under  pressure?  Only  under  pressuK 
does  the  steel  spring  show  its  elasticity?  And  have  unfavourable  di- 
cumstanccs  and  conditions  alone  given  birth  to  great  men  I" 

In  1824,  and   in  the  full  tide  of  success,  Weber  writes:  "  I  am  al 

this  moment  in  treaty  with  London I  am  very  delicate,  aal 

suffering."  He  came  to  London  at  last,  by  way  of  Paris  ;  in  which  latter 
city  he  was  welcomed  witli  such  enthusiasm  that,  in  a  letter  to  his  uifi 
he  declared  that  he  really  could  not  attempt  to  describe  it  lest  the  pat] 
on  which  he  wrote  should  blush.  At  Ems,  also,  he  sojourned  on  hil-i 
way.  It  was  in  1834  tliat  Weber,  having  been  requested  to  write  an 
0|>cra  for  Coveiu  (lardcn,  had  adopted  tJie  subject  of  Oberon,  an  ideal 
one  suited  to  him  :  and  in  July,  iS;6.  the  great  master  died  in  I^ndoit, 
on  the  same  night  ivhcn  his  latest  opera,  "  Oberon,"  was  performed. 

Away  from  fatherland,  and  longing  to  return  to  it, — amiy  from  wife 
and  children,  yet  yearning  to  behold  them  once  more,  Weber  was 
soothed  in  his  last  days  by  the  friendship  of  Sir  George  Smart,  Fiirs- 
lenau,  and  Moschelci.  To  them  all  he  spoke  of  his  approaching  joumtj, 
home,  not  thinking  how  soon,  anrl  in  what  way,  that  joumej-  would 
accomplished.  "  I  must  go  back  to  my  own,"  said  Weber,  during  tl 
last  evening  of  his  earthly  existence.  Sir  George  Smart  was  most  anxious 
concerning  his  guest,  Weber ;  but  the  latter  declined  to  have  any  one 
watch  by  his  bedside.  "  God  reward  you  all  for  your  kind  love  to  me," 
said  he  to  his  three  friends  above-named,  when  bidding  them  all  his  last 
"  good  night.'  Having  given  "  his  white,  transparent,  trembling  hand  to 
all,  he  wound  up  his  watch  with  his  usual,  punctilious  care;  then,  with 
all  that  charm  of  amiability  for  which  he  was  conspicuous  through  life, 

he  murmured  his  thanks and  said,  'Now  let  rae  sleep  !'"     The 

next  morning  the  watch  was  still  ticking,  but  Weber  had  "gone  home."

home."  So  declares  his  son,  Baron  Max  Maria  Von  Weber,  in  a  biography 

qootcO  by  Lady  ^Vallace. 

Weber**  fatKial  riles  were  celebrated  with  all  due  and  solemn  magni^ 
bcence  at  St.  Mary's,  Ittoonields,  when  Mozart's  Ketiuicra  «-as  jicr- 
formed;  but  in  1844  his  mortal  renuios  were  iraiiiiferral  tu  Dresden, 
''an  the  tnusic.1l  corps  of  e\'er)' institute  in  Ure^lcn  and  an  cndlesii 
man  of  friends  folbwing.  The  ceremony  was  at  an  end,  the  ton:hcs

who  had  flung  iictself  upon  the  bier,  while  a  pale  young  man  knelt  in 
pnyer  b>-  her  side." 

"  My  r,ina  feels  just  as  I  do,"  had  Wcbcrwritten  long  ago  ;  and  Time, 
though  it  brought  Ikirlt  his  dead  body  to  his  country,  rould  not  restore 
to  his  I.ina  the  perfect  sympathy  she  h.id  lost  with  him. 

On  the  nth  d.iy  of  October,  i860,  a  fine  statue  of  IVcbcr  was 
inagnimtcd  at  Dresden.  Forty  years  did  U'eber  live,  and  just  forty  years 
have  puscd  away  since  he  died ;  but  his  music  stirs  the  pulse,  and 
echoes  in  the  hearts  of  thousands  of  human  beings  bom  since  Fame — 
loog  xnd  patienily  waited  for  by  him— first  proclaimed  Weber  immortal. 

To  the  letters  of  Cluck,  Bach,  Ilaydn,  and  Weber,  l~idy  Wnilace

nrioded  composer's  correspondence,  not  long  since  given  to  the  world  in 
a  larger  fonn,  it  is  not  thought  necessary  here  to  advert  to  this  fragment 
of  it,  except  10  say  that  it  is  translated  with  the  same  gruceful  ease  which 
generally  characterises  the  interesting  volume  before  us;  upon  which 
voluroc  it  is  hoped  tlial  one  or  two  slight  biographical  sketches  con- 
ttiocd  in  tlie  above  notice  may  help  to  throw  some  additional  light.

so  intent  on  their  games,  and  who  were  never  sulky  or  free  with  their 
fists — as  our  own  companions  were  apt  to  be  when  they  had  an  extra 
allowance  of  impositions,  and  Svlvanus  Urban  was  some  years 
younger  than  he  is  at  present  We  had  a  deep  admiration  for  those 
well-behaved  boys,  and  coiddn't  for  a  moment  believe  that  the  benevo- 
lent schoolmaster  with  the  white  hair,  the  Quaker's  hat  and  the  gaiters, 
kept  a  cane  or  a  birch  in  his  desk.  There  were  one  or  two  pictures 
that  possessed  a  delightful  dash  of  mystery,  particularly  those  in  con- 
nection with  chemistry  and  optics.  We  could  never  quite  understand 
the  view  of  the  city  trying  so  hard  to  stand  topsy-turvy ;  we  had  not 
the  slightest  s>'mpathy  with  the  arithmetical  puzzles,  or  with  the  aggra- 
vatingly  demure  young  gentleman  who  looked  solemn  and  counted  on 
his  fingers,  in  the  head-piece  to  it.  Those  of  the  rising  generation 
who  are  lucky  enough  to  get  the  new  edition  of  the  "  Boys'  Own  Book" 
as  a  Christmas  or  birthday  present,  uill  find  besides  the  "  original "  cuts 
of  lads  in  spasmodic  attitudes,  and  directing  cricket-bats  towards  various 
points  of  the  compass,  of  pigeons  and  o&er  pets,  and  of  rabbits  with 
great  long  ears  that  always  seem  in  their  owner's  way,  delightful  sketches 
of  dapperly-dressed  young  ladies  playing  Aunt  ^ly  and  croquet,  of 
shadow  pantomimes,  the  basket  trick,  and  of  a  good  many  other  persons 
and  things  that  it  would  take  a  whole  page  of  The  Gentleman's 
Magazine  merely  to  catalogue. 

The  "  Boys'  Own  Book  "  would  be  cheap  at  a  couple  of  guineas — 
at  least  we  used  to  think  so  of  such  books  in  byegone  days — but  with 
its  many  improvements  and  additions,  it  is  a  marvel  of  cheapness,  and 
will  be  an  unfailing  fund  of  delight  and  instruction  to  its  possessors.

St^mersf/sAiW. — The   Rev.  Prebendary  Scarth  has  recently  read  i 
paper  to  ihe  Bath   Literary  Club,  on  a  volume  just  pTinled  fay  ihe 
Camden  Society,  entitled  '*  History  from  Marble,"  compiled  in  the  reipi 
of  Charles  IL,  by  Thomas  Dingley,  Gent.,  in  which  are  dcsaiboi, 
among  other  antiquities  at  Bath,  what  ;ippears  to  be  a  Roman  scutpttue, 
not  noticed  by  any  other  writer,  and  now  lost     Dingley  left  b<iun<t 
liim  se^'eral  MS.  works,  six  of  whicli  are  now  knon'n  to  be  in  cxistenrt. 
The  "  History  from  Marble,"  which  is  now  printed,  is  also  called  by  ihc 
author,  his  "English  Joumall,"  and  his  ""English  Itinerary."     Mr.  J. 
Gough  Nichols,  who  has  edited  it,  says  it  appears  to  have  been  in  pro- 
gress during  many  years.      The  materials  arc  gathered  from  vir»a 
counties,  but  arc  more  particularly  copious  ami  curious  in  HereTont- 
shire  and  Wiltshire,  and  from  the  cities  of  Baih  and  Oxford.     The)'  at 
chiefly  of  his  own  collection.    His  home  was  at  Dillwyn,  in  HercfbrJ- 
sbire,  and  he  died  at  Louvaine,  in  Elauders.     He  was  a  b.icheloT,  m\ 
ihe  last  of  his  family.    The  pari  of  his  works  uith  which  we  are  nov 
concerned  is  his  record  of  monuments  in  Bath,  since  lost,  and  his<k- 
scription  of  llie  buildings  of  the  city  as  then  existing.     He  has  bymnn* 
of  gi^aphic  pen  and  ink  sketches,  conveyed  a  clear  idea  of  these,  asuell 
as  uy  delineating  the  heraldry  upon  the  monuments,  and  by  short  noM 
attached    to  his  delineations.      The   |>art   relating   to    Dath  cOBOiu 
sketches  of  the  Abbey  Church  as  then  existing,  aUo  of  the  baths,  if- 
the  King's  Bath,  Queen's  Bath,  and  the  Cross  Bath,  and  of  the  okl 
stone  pulpit  in  the  Abbey,  now  lost,  which  was  erected  by  Bishop  Mon- 
tague, and  had  an  inscription  carved  upon  it.    Some  of  the  monum  ! 
or  parts  of  Ihctn,  described  by  l>ingley,  are  now  wanting,  also  il, 
scription  on   the  great  west  doors  of  the  .Abbey  Church,  whidi  rcconl 
that  they  were  "  beautihcd  outside  and  inside,  at  the  charges  o(  Sir 
Henry  Montague,  Knt.,  Lord  Chief  Justice  of  the  King's  Bench,  anM 
dno.  MIK7CVII."     But,  as  Mr.  Scarth  observed,   that  which  is  tspedaltf 
interesling  to  the  student  of  Roman  antiquities  is  the  fact  that  binglej 
authenticates  those  sculptures  which  are  drawn  in  Dr.  Guidot's  woik. 
and  gives  actual  sketches  of  them  as  they  stood  in  the  city  walls,  and 
whida  arc  evidently  much  nearer  the  trutli  than  the  fanciful  ftguies 
given  in  Guidot.  He  also  supplies  some  not  recorded  elsewhere,  and  sa)-*: 
"Bath  city  hath  been  famous  for  Rom-m  aiilitiuitics,  some  whereof  jte 
still  visible  to  the  traveller  in  niches  and  oiherwise  fixed  in  the  walls  al

,     .     .     .     The  most  obser\'ab!e  arc  two  grave-stones  and  a   Rooun

—  the  ploughing  up  of  the  upper   stone  of  a    Roman    mill — induced]

Amotfaerby  and  parish  of  Appleton-le-Street,  nith  Dotcwortby  results.. 
The  Re\'.  James  Robertson,  of  Applcton,  is  the  explorer,  and   this 
gentlenun  has,  up  to  the  present  time,  laid  bare  a  series  of  large  paved 
floors,  varying  from  6  irtchcs  to  2  ft  6  in.  below  (he  surface  of  the  land. 
Beyond  the  fact  that  on  occajiional  piece  of  Roman  pottery  was  picked 
Bp  in  the  soil,  there  was  no  indication  of  any  remains  '\i\  the  field.     The 
place  is  very  near  the  supposeil  junction  of  two  great  lines  of  Roman 
road — one  from  IJcrvenliu  to    Isurium,  ihc  other  from  EburaiTum  to 
Prjoohum ;  uf  the  former  the  affix  "in  the  street''  marks  the  route ; 
and   the    Utler  is  defined  by  a   line    of  smalt  camps  and  the  name 
"  KoouQ  Koad.'*    The  field  in  question  lias  been  tried  in  various  place%  j 
and  pBTcmoUE  hare  been  found  over  a  wide  area.    So  for  no  trace  01  >

tions  from  this  not  vcrj*  iptflligiblc  establishment.  Mr.  Robertson  hitnsdf 
is  by  no  means  satisfictl  with  the  result  of  his  researches,  which  have  only 
served  to  induce  him  at  an  early  opjKirtiinity  to  resume  the  ei[ca\-ations. 

731c  Verkshire  tVoiJ  Tumuli,  during  the  Re\',  W.  Greenweirs 
last  excavations  for  the  winter  season,  have  funiis3ied  nothing  particularly 
novel,  but  the  repetitions  of  facts  in  scientific  inquiries  are  valuable; 
and  Mr.  OrcenwcU  lias  now  collected  materials  enough  to  enable  him 
to  place  the  results  of  his  successful  labours  before  the  public,  wnlh  ihe 
additional  advantage  of  diagrams  and  engravings. 

The  estate  of  Lord  Londesborougli  at  Willerby,  was  the  site  of  the 
most  recent  excAvaiions.  The  first  tumulus  opened,  68  fi  in  diameter, 
and  3j  ft.  high,  was  formed  of  eanh  ;  pieces  of  flint,  potsherds,  ysA 
charcoal  being  mixed  with  the  eanh  of  the  mound.  Over  the  cmtit 
was  about  one-tliird  of  a  plain  urn.  in  a  rabbit-hole,  the  rabbiu  in 
burrowing  having  doubtless  disturbed  the  burial,  if  a  cremated  orw.  At 
ihe  centre  was  an  oval  grave,  made  east  anil  west,  fi  ft.  by  5  ft.,  awl 
a  ft.  3  in.  deep.  At  the  west  end  was  a  body,  as  usual,  doubled  up. 
Before  the  face  was  a  fine  urn  with  four  pierced  ears,  entirely  coverM 
wth  herririg-bone  work,  the  markings  being  made  in  the  clay  by  a 
pointed  stick  or  other  implement.  Behind  the  skull  of  the  skeleton 
were  two  flint  knives,  and  four  unworked  flints,  forming  a  circle  ronnJ 
tlie  head.     Clay  was  deposited  over  the  pravc. 

The  second  barrow,  45  f>.  in  diameter,  and  2  It.  high,  was  formeilof 
soil  and  chalk  nibble.     Among  the  materials  were  many  worked  flint* 
and  potsherds;  among  the  flints  was  a  fine  long  flake,  much  used,  as  if 
with  scraping.     At  eight  feet   e-ist  of  the  centre  was  a  deposit  of  font 
bodies  upon  Ihe  natural  surface.     The  bodies  were  those  of  an  adult 
(believed  to  be  a  woman)  ;  and  three  children,  from  three  to  ten  y«jn 
of  age.  Apparently  all  four  had  been  interred  at  the  same  time.    NoAii^ 
whatever  was  buried  with  them.    At  the  centre  of  the  barrow  was  a  large 
grave  5  n.  diameter,  and  4  ft.  deep.     In  it  was  the  body  of  a  strongly 
made  young  man  of  about  twenty-five  years,  the  skull  almost  periert- 
The  body  was  on  the  left  side,  in  the  doubled  up  position,  with  ihf 
head  to  the  N.W.,  the  left  hand  up  to  the  face,  and  the  right  hand  * 
the  breast.     The  bottom  of  this  grave  was  a  solid  floor  of  chalk,  and 
upon  that  solid  floor  was  a  carefully  arranged  pavement  of  slabs  cf 
chalk,  on  which  the  body  had  been  laid.     The  burial  had  been  coveted 
with  turf,  and  the  rest  of  the  grave  fdled  in  with  chalk.     This  burial 
was  not  the  original  one  in  the  centre.    The  filling  in  of  the  grave 
revealed  fro^ients  of  human  bones  which  had  been  disturbed  to  intro- 
duce the  central  but  later  jntermenL     Indeed,  numerous  examples  of 
disturbed  bodies,  for  after- in  lemenis,  have  now   been  noticed  in  the 
Wold  barrows.     'I"he  Rev.  Canon   Greenwcll  will  open  the  tumuli  on 
Ihe  estates  of  Sir  Talton  Sykes,  at  Linton,  and  of  Mr.  T.  W.  Revis,  D.L.» 
at  T>ngglchy;  and  subseqiiently  in  this  monih  those  on  the  Moor  estate* 
of  Lord  Fcvcrsham,  in  North  Yorkshire.  ^

jAe  stution,  the  theory  being  that  Cittimum  was  one  of  the  fortresses 
||ltablu;heil  by  Agricok.  Mr.  Clayton  ha\-ing  found  masonry  of  a  some- 
what puzzling  kitKlf  clircctt-d  a  ponion  of  the  rampatt  of  the  station  on 
the  north  to  be  laid  open.  A  gateway  revealed  itself.  This  lud, 
iKnrcvcr,  been  walled  up  with  solid  masonry.  This  gateway  is  a  double 
one,  like  that  In  the  east  rjtmpart  of  AmbogUnna.  'Ilie  upper  guard- 
divnber  is  now  being  excA\-Ated.  In  clearing  the  earth  away,  not  very 
far  from  the  surface  a  slab  dedicated  to  Antoninus  Pius  was  discovered. 
Mr.  Clayton  and  Dr  Bruce  consider  lliat  this  gateway  was  blocked  up 
«rhcn  the  great  wall,  in  process  of  erection,  was  carried  to  the  north 
of  the  station. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Society  of  Antiquaries  of  Newcastleupon- 
Tync,  Dr.  Chariton  exhibited  a  series  of  photographs  of  the  recent 
ducoTeries  at  ihe  church  of  St  Clement,  at  Rome,  and,  in  explanation, 
itated  that  the  church  was  founded  about  llie  year  900.  It  was  known 
thai  there  was  another  church  erected  on  the  same  spot  about  the  years 
300  to  400,  and  it  was  supposed  10  have  been  destroyed  about  790. 
TTie  diuich  of  St.  Clement  belongs  to  the  IrisJi  Dommicans,  and  the 
present  prior  determined  to  excavate  under  the  church,  it  being  known 
that  it  was  by  no  means  unfrequent  to  6nd  two  churches  the  one  built 
over  the  other.  The  excavations  were  proceeded  with,  and  it  was  found 
that  the  original  church  wa<s  standing  fdled  up  with  dibrit.  Owing  lu 
ihe  dr^Ticss  of  the  soil  with  which  the  church  was  filled  up,  the  fri^scoes 
on  the  wall  were  almost  perfect.  The  photogTa|)hs  were  examined  with 
noch  interest ;  and  it  is  hoped  they  will  be  engraved. 

^£att. — W  GiUinjiham,  near  Chatliam,  on  the  property  of  Mr  J.  H. 
^Ul,  a  little  to  the  north-east  of  Bunit  Oak,  on  the  high  ground,  several 
Roman  funereal  interments  have  been  discovered.     It  would  seem  they 
kad  been  deposited  in  a  straight  line,  the  ground  in  wliich  they  lay 
faring  the  appearance  of  a  filted-up  trench.     They  presented  the  usual 
diuucCeristic  of  Homan  burials,  when  burning  the  body  was  a  common 
[facUce, — small  %-csscls  arranged  round  the  larger  urn  with  the  burnt 
bones.     In  one  deposit  it  appeared  that  a  large  narrow-mouthed  jar  had 
bc«n  taken  and  the  top  broken  off  to  admit  the  bones  with  which  it  was 
placed  inside  the  jar,  the  widened  mouth  being  closed  by  a  patera,  by 
the  ode  kA  whicli  were  laid  two  other  vessels.    The  whole  of  the  poller^* 
bean  the  impress  of  the  Medway  manufacture,  with  the  exception  of 
t»ored  lustrous  vessels,  a  cup  and  a  jxicera  ;  these  bear  the  names  of 
the  potters  Calenus  and  Reburrus.     Previously  Mr.  Ball  had  discovered 
nailir  deposits  near  the  high-road,  when  making  a  cutting  for  the  pur- 
pose of  the  pier  now  being  constructed.     In  every  case  he  has  spared 
aq  pains  in  examining  the  ground,  and   in  carefully  extricating  the 
{K)^  of  vessels  which,  it  need  hardly  be  addal,  are  safely  preserved. 

t^&ii^taH  and  Barham  Doumi. — It  is  reported  that  Mr.  T.  Godfrey 

ett  is  making  successful  excavations  on  the  sites  of  the  cxplora- 

i  of  his  ancestor,  the  author  of  the  *'  Invcniorium  Sepulchralc."    At

To  the  "  Bulletin  Monumental,""  published  by  M.  de  Caumont, 
arch  Ecological  world  is  deeply  indebted.  This  bi  monthly  organ  of  I 
"  Socitte  Frani^aise  d'ArcheoIogic "  has  now  compIete<l  its  thirty- 
second  vohimc  (of  900  pages,  8vo)r  full  of  illustrations,  and  written 
and  edited  with  the  vigour  and  intelligence  which  have  directed  all  its 
issues.  No  society,  either  in  France  or  in  any  other  counlr)-,  can  lay 
claim  to  such  prolific  and  healthy  results.  The  articles  which  con- 
slitufe  these  numerous  volumes  arc  all  purely  arcK-eological ;  and  h 
would  be  very  ditlicult  to  find  a  p.nper  or  dissertation  which  is  without 
value.  If  we  look  to  the  printed  works  of  other  societies  (by  which 
alone  such  bodies  can  be  estimated),  the  vast  superiority  of  the  "  Bull* 
Monumental "  will  be  admitted  at  once;  indeed,  it  is  alone  from

such  as  have  now  been  collected  in  rather  considerable  numbers ; 
it  is  somewhat  remarkable,  only  a  very  few  have  been  found  in  Italy. 
The)' have  justly  engaged  the  attention  ofantiquarics  for  they  throw  some 
light  on  the  practices  of  the  medical  profession  in  the  Roman  provinc 
and  curiously  illustrate  .the  works  of  the  ancient  writers  in  mcdici( 
who  give  the  compositions  of  many  of  the  preparations  which  tl: 
stamps  were  intended  to  mark  and  identify.  One  of  the  most 
writers  on  the  subject  is  Professor  Simpson,  of  Edinburgh,  who,  11 
paper  printed  in  the  "Monthly  Journal  of  Medical  Science,"  has 
haustcd  the  examples  found  in  Great  Britain,  and  most  of  those 
covered  on  the  Continent.  Mr.  Wright,  also,  has  treated  on  them  in 
"  Celt,  Roman,  and  Saxon ; "  and  in  his  forthcoming  work  on  WroM 
where  one  was  discovered.  These  stamps  are  usu-illy  cut  on  the 
sides  of  a  squared  greenish  schist,  or  stealiie,  about  half  an  inch  ihic

The  diwiovcry  of  a  very  extensive  Ronun  vilk  at  Valentine  has  in- 
duwti  >L  Morel,  in  thc  course  of  his  researches,  to  study,  in  connection 
wh  the  discoveries,  a  metrical  inscTiption  which  was  found  built  into 
f  ihe  church  of  Valentine.  It  is  a  memorial  erected  by  the 
<>\  a  certain  person  named  N)-mfius,  who  was  evidently  in  a  high 
foslkiD.  and  probably  a  prwfect  M.  Morel  considers  it  may  be 
usffBcd  to  tlie  4th  century,  when  the  old  pagan  sepulchral  formulas 
»wt  bring  modified  and  almost  wholly  changed  by  the  increasing  in- 
fincace  of  Christiaiiily.  In  France,  towards  the  south,  similar  inscrip- 
tions are  no*  uncommon ;  but  I  am  not  aware  of  many  examples 
l>3ving  been  found  in  England.  It  is  well  worth  being  given  in  fuU,

St.  Germain,  near  Paris. — A  very  important  museuin  is  now  b«: 
established  in  the  Impeml  Chateau.  Ii  is  to  consist  solely  of  monu 
ments  relating  to  and  illustniuve  of  the  history  of  ancient  France.  Ai 
present  the  long  suite  of  fine  rooms  is  more  than  half  filled;  but  from 
the  want  of  a  printed  catalogue,  ami  even  of  copious  labels,  it  is  cjuiic 
impos-sible  for  the  visitor,  who  is  hurried  through  the  rooms,  to  do  more 
than  get  a  very  impcricrt  notion  of  the  remarkable  treasures  of  ancient 
art  now  being  arranged.  There  arc  models  of  dolmens,  cromlechs,  an4 
tumuli  of  \-arious  kin<!s,  inchi<^ing  Gavr*  Innis,  and  weapons  and  objcc 
from  various  sites  investigated  hy  order  of  llic  Fmperor  when  prep, 
his  "  Life  of  Caesar,"  with  a  view  to  identify  the  sites  of  battles 
sieges;  but  notwitlistanding  the  great  pains  taken  to  make  this  muKum 
really  national  and  useful  to  archseology  as  a  science,  the  absence  of 
any  catalogue  frustrates  and  nullifies  what  are  clearly  the  Eraperoi's 
wishes  and  object.  The  Christy  and  Lailel  collections  from  the  caveraj 
cf  Dordogne,  and  M.  Boucher  dc  Perthes  from  the  vallc)'of  the  Somtnc. 
are  well  represented  here;  The  Gaulish  weapons  and  annour  are  of 
sreat  interesit ;  they  include  a  perfect  cuiras.s  and  a  sword  with  a 
ifory  handle,  briefly  marked  from  the  cemetery  of  HallsLidt. 
metallic  defences  and  omanienis  of  the  long  shield,  so  well  shown  ia 
the  statue  at  Avignon  (see  "  Col.  Ant.,"  vol.  v.),  may  here  be  seen.  A 
bracelet  from  the  Summe,  marked  "  wood,"  is  clearly  of  our  Kimnicritfge 
coal,  or  of  a  shak-  ver>'  simiL-^r.  There  are  also  some  sculi>lurcs  mhith 
are  tantalising  from  their  reserve.  If  M.  Eertrand  (the  director,  is 
I  am  told)  would  only  put  his  fingers  to  the  mute  pipe,  no  doutit  it 
would  "discourse  most  eloquent  music"  The  thousands  who  visit 
these  places  on  Sundays  and  hohdays  arc  quite  content  to  pass  throu^ 
the  rooms  and  sec  things  they  neither  understand  nor  care  to  under- 
stand ;  but  it  is  vexing  to  the  student,  who  has  travelled  probably  a 
long  distance,  to  be  debarred  from  working,  simply  because  the  hinoiy 
of  the  objects  is  not  given.  There  is  a  key  which  would  at  once  open 
to  him  the  materials  which  he  brings  jiower  to  mould  to  uschil  pw- 
poses  ;  but  somebody  keeps  this  key  in  his  pocket,  and  probably  will 
do  so  until  the  Emperor  himself  sees  the  obstruction  to  the  pro- 
motion of  the  \txy  researches  he  is  wishing  to  encourage.  The  warn  of 
catalogues  giving  the  history  of  the  discoveries  of  the  antiquities,  is  the 
worst  feature  in  the  museums  of  France,  It  is  an  almost  universal  e^il, 
protested  against  by  the  archxologists  of  France  as  well  as  of  forei^ 
countries ;  but  it  is  one  of  those  evils  which  has  long  become  chronic 
and  apparently  incurable.

wilncss  of  the  recent  eruption  of  Vesuvius  ts  that  of  Professor  Pil-

the  slight  disturbances  of  Kebruar)-,  1864,  but  that  it  aroused  il«U  o9 
the  lath  of  November  last.  Towards  the  end  of  October,  the  tcmjit- 
ralure  of  the  ancient  mouths  or  orifices  becnme  elevated,  and  finom  liM 
to  time  there  came  from  them  notable  quantities  of  vapour.  Uuri^ 
the  first  days  of  November,  these  vaporous  discharges  became  coo 
tinuous  and  more  abundant ;  the  soil  was  agitated  by  shght  shocxs 
which  were  signaled  by  tiic  sciiniograph  at  the  observatory ;  and  ^paUy 
the  incandescent  matter,  uph<:aving  the  enormous  mass  of  compact 
lava  which  filled  tlic  ancient  crater,  opened  for  itself  outlets  and  formeJ 
four  cones  of  eruption  ;  three  small  ones,  which  in  a  sJiort  time  unaed 
into  one,  and  the  fourth  a  large  one,  which  projected  into  the  ur  massei 
of  lava,  accompanied  by  loud  detonations.  By  an  inferior  opening  ift 
this  cone  ihe  lava  current  itself  issued  forth  and,  oversowing  the  ancient 
crater  at  some  points,  spread  itself  upon  the  superior  plain  of  VesuviuL 
which  was  studded  with  many  smoke-holes  {fumaroU),  from  whidi 
vapour  made  its  escape.  The  shocts  of  the  soil  and  the  disturbances 
of  the  magnetic  instruments  grew  more  frequent  and  more  intense  a* 
the  eruption  increased  in  violence.  The  seismograph  indicated  00  aa

has  escaped  destiuction  or  grt-at  damage.  Sides  and  gables  of  houses 
arc  thrown  down,  roofs  have  faitcn  in,  and  all  weak  mason  work  is 
murked  and  damaged.  Ten  minutes  after  the  first  great  shock,  another 
smsrt  earthquake  took  place,  and  in  alKxut  five  minutes  more  there 
came  from  the  sea  towards  the  soulh-cxtt  a  most  horrilying  roaring  n<MSe, 
which  w»»  »oon  seen  to  be  the  great  sea-roller,  which  follows  heavy 
liquakcs.     No  words  can  describe  the  honor  of  the  inhabitants  at 

Fsight  of  this  third  calamity."     At  the  s-imc  time  a  volcanic  eruption

and  when,  two  days  after,  the  Plaia  passed  this  island,  it  was  found  to 
hare  <iuite  an  altered  appearance. — At  a  time  when  the  volcanic  energy 
of  the  eJiTth  seems  to  be  revivifying,  the  announcement  comes  oppor- 
tunely thai  Ffuf.  Alexis  Perry,  of  Dijon,  has  published  a  catalogue  of 
juakes.  compiled  with  indefatigable  perseverance  from  all  available 
:es. — Mr.  Robinson's  "  New  Geological  Theory"  promises  to  bring 
a  ventilation  of  the  subject  of  physical  geology.  The  publication 
of  his  ideas  lias  called  forth  from  Mr.  Ogilby  a  still  broader  and  more 
comprehensive  theory,  which  he  publishes  in  the  Athoiaum,  'I'o  be 
onderstood,  his  axioms  and  deductions,  abeaUy  in  the  tersest  form,  re- 
i|ijtic  to  be  read  in  full,  so  we  cannot  attempt  a  dige.st  of  ihe  theory ; 
we  qtiote,  hawe%'er,  the  two  last  links  in  his  chain  of  inferences,  from 
some  notion  of  his  hypotheses  may  be  inferred  : — "  Tlie  physical 
of  the  earth  is  made  up  of  a  succession  of  long  epochs  of  tran- 
and  repose,  separated  by  short  intervals  of  sufhicn  and  violent 
ion,  during  which  the  superficial  crust  of  the  earth  is  modified, 
a  new  dtstrihution  of  light  and  heat  established,  and  the  previously 
existing  farms  of  organic  life  exterminated,  to  be  replaced  by  a  new 
creation.  ....  Geological  phenomena  prove  that  six  or  seven  of  these 
pen-''f~  "TivulMons  have  already  passed  over  the  earth,  forming  so 
mr.T  t  e(ioch8  in  its  [>h)-sical  history,  and  each  distinguished  by

of  an  t '  expedition  with  a  view  to  re-opening  the  ancient  road 

from  Barmah  to  the  western  frontier  of  China.  I'lie  party  will  start 
from  Samo,  on  the  Munaildy,  and  take  a  north-easterly  route  across 
the  Khakyen  Hills,  and  the  Shan  States,  making  for  Yanchan,  one  of 
the  chief  trading  places  of  Yunan.  The  other  project  is  the  organization 
of  ft  tur\'ey  for  a  great  canal  to  irrigate  western  Oudeand  Rohilcund; 
the  HLBdv  districts  of  Coromandel,  too,  are  about  to  be  fenilised  for

the  Andean  ranges  in  this  part  of  Cenlral  America. — To  another  meeting 
of  this  society  ;i  young  American  traveller,  Mr.  A  S.  Bickinon;,  wlio 
had  been  for  three  years  exploring  llie  islands  of  the  Malay  ArchipeUgo^ 
and  had  finished  his  travels  by  journeying  from  Canton  to  Hankow, 
communicated  a  sketch  of  the  country  passed  through  on  tliis  last  loucc 
Travelling  up  the  Si-Kiang  to  Wu-cliau,  he  ascended  the  Cassia  River 
to  Hingnan,  and  near  that  place  found  that  ihis  oorthem  afltuent  of  llie 
Canton  River  was  connected  by  an  artificial  canal  with  the  great  Sung 
River  flowing  northward  into  the  Vang-tzse.  Being  autumn,  and  ihe 
season  unusually  dr>',  the  upper  courses  of  both  the  Cassia  and  ibe 
Siang  were  encumbered  by  rapids  ;  at  other  times  he  believed  it  wouki 
be  possible  to  iravcl  from  Cniiton  through  the  interior  of  China  to 
Shanghai  In  the  same  boat.  At  Sichang,  on  the  Siang  Kiver,  are  sttuitcd 
the  principal  coal-mines  of  the  region,  and  some  fifty  boats  were  seen 
loading.  The  mines  are  nothing  more  than  deep  pits  in  the  sides  of 
the  hills,  and  consc()ueiitly  only  surface-coal  is  obtained.  It  is  id  be 
expcctetl  that  better  coal  »'Ould  occur  below  the  water-level,  but  u  soon 
as  the  miners  come  to  water  they  are  obliged  to  abandon  the  mines  fin 
want  of  proper  pumping  ap|>aratus.  I'rom  ijichang  to  Moukdeo,  north 
of  Pekin,  there  is  a  continued  series  of  coal  mines.  A  sinking  spccucfc 
was  presented,  on  arriving  at  the  Tuug-ting  Lake,  at  the  junction  of  tk 
Siang  wilh  the  Vang-Use,  A  heavy  nortlierly  wind  had  been  bloiing 
for  six  or  seven  days,  and  lew  or  no  boats  had  been  able  to  proceed 
A  southerly  breeze  then  set  in,  and  all  the  boats  that  had  been  hariiov- 
ing  in  the  many  creeks  and  bays  came  out,  and  at  sunrise  such  a  /

numbered  by  the  hundred  million.  As  far  as  the  eye  could  reach  ik 
surface  of  ihe  lake  was  thickly  feathered  with  white  sails,  some  io  su- 
shine,  some  in  shadow,  and  some  in  the  dim  distance,  apixtrently  gtidjog 
on  a  thin  film  of  air  above  the  water.  Four  hundred  and  forty  bo»u 
were  counted  in  sight  at  one  time.  The  Poj*ang  Lake  lower  down  the 
river  is  of  the  .same  character.  It  has  been  noticed  that  these  great 
takes  have  near  them  a  group  of  high  mountains ;  this  is  only  anwKT 
way  of  stating  that  where  there  has  been  an  unusual  cln-ation  there  hu 
been  a  corresponding  depression.  Near  the  city  of  Quci-lin,  Mi.  Did'

of  coal  distillalion  knowii  as  naphtlialin.  The  naphthalin  is  first  iran*- 
formcd  into  a  bi-prolo-chloridc  of  naphthalin ;  this  is  converted  into 
{italic  acid,  and  this  in  its  turn  into  phtaUtc  of  ammonia.  By  distiUi- 
tion  of  the  latter  product  with  hydrate  of  lime,  bcmonitril  is  formed : 
benzuatc  of  soda  is  subsequcnlly  produced  by  boiling  this  with  a  sola- 
tion  of  raustic:  soda,  and  hyilrachluric  acid  precipitates,  from  llie  bcn^otHe 
of  soda,  bi:nzoir.  acid.  Such  arc  tlic  steps  of  a  process  which  the  secre- 
tary of  ihc  chemical  section  of  the  Paris  exhibition  asserted  to  be  the 
most  important  discovery  iii  technical  chemistry  made  since  the  London 
Exhibition  of  1862.  — Professor  Church  made  a  curious  statement  to  the 
Chemical  Society,  on  the  5th  ultima,  respecting  the  colouring-matter  m 
the  wings  of  certain  birds.  The  pinion  feathers  of  the  Cape  liorj*  haw 
red  spots  on  them  which  have  been  popularly  regarded  as  blood  stains. 
By  dissoMnc  out  these  stains  uith  an  alkaline  solution,  a  magntfinai 
crimson  liqmd  was  formed  ,  upon  analysis  of  which  metallic  copper  ■» 
obLiincd,  in  infinitesimal  quantity,  and  apparently  in  some  organic  form 
of  combination.  The  parts  of  the  feallier  not  coloured  did  not  cooUin 
a  trace  of  the  metal.  Professor  Church  had  analysed  the  red  pluinfl^ 
of  humming  birds,  but  had  found  no  copper  therein. — Captain  W.  A 
Ross  communicates  to  the  Chettiieal  Ntrcs  a  promising  novelty  in  blot- 
pipe  manipuUtion,  which  consi:tts  in  blowing  bubbles  or  bladders  tlui

He  has  examined  a  number  of  vesUula  thus  formed,  and  has  ftwl 
great  variety  in  the  colouring  they  yield :  cobalt,  for  instance,  give* 
vesicles  nearly  clear,  while  those  containing  copper,  bismuth,  and 
mancanese,  are  highly  iridescent.  After  some  of  these  compowvi 
vesides  had  &tood  for  a  night  they  were  found  to  be  covcitd  widil 
cloudy  film  containing  white  spots,  and  when  these  spots  were  examinnl 
by  a  microscope  tliey  were  found  to  be  round,  radiated  crystals,  haviDI 
dark  nuclei  or  centres  ;  and  it  was  further  discovered  that  different  sol»- 
tioDS  of  metals  or  oxides  in  the  borax  gave  diiTerent  and  peculiar! 

Photography. — M.  Morren,  Dean  of  the  University  of  Sciences 
Marseilles,  has  found  that  if  a  tube  conLtining  chloride  of  silver  d< 
sited  in  an  excess  of  chlorine  water  be  exposed  to  sunlight,  the  chit 
.salt  assumes  a  red-brown  colour,  which  in  rime,  if  the  tube  be  agitatat 
penetrates  the  entire  mass.  But  if  the  lube  be  then  placed  in  the  daii 
the  colour  disappears  gradually,  and  the  chloride  rcassumcs  its  originrf 
white  tint.  Upon  again  exposing  to  light  it  darkens,  and  rc-lighteiB 
when  returned  to  the  shade.  These  curious  alternations  will  receive  M. 
Morren's  further  attention. — Perhaps  the  largest  photographic  picWtt 
ever  produced  was  exhibited  at  a  late  meeting  of  the  North  Loodon 
Photographic  Society ;  it  was  a  panoramic  view  of  the  vast  works  of 
Knipp,  the  "  Tubal  Cain,"  not  of  the  iron,  but  of  the  steel  age,  « 
Essen,  in  Prussia ;  and  it  measured  30  feet  long  by  11  inches  in  dcpili- 
It  is,  however,  fair  to  say  that  it  was  taken  in  sections,  each  26  indies 
by  22,  mounted  end  to  end. — Dr.  Vogel,  a  Gennan  j^hoiographer,  speib 
highly  of  a  leptograjihic  ii3j)er  made  by  M.  Obemetler,  of  Munich. 
It  is  a  paper  which  is  sold  already  silvered,  and  it  keeps  well,  how  Jong

the  cogent  question.  *'  How  ia  the  status  of  Professional  Photogmphy  to

rused  in  a  communication  which  appears  in  the  repons  as  "  a  Suggestion 
Ibriaising  the  position  of  Phoiographcni."  Mr.  Hughes  \\*as  not  long 
incoming  to  the  solution  of  his  cjuesiion  :  the  one  thing  needful,  he 
Diged,  was  art  culture  ;  from  this  must  follow  better  work,  which  will 
iplieal  to  belter  eyes  and  better  purses,  and  bring  better  days  for  the

dat  diplomas  should  be  gmnietl  to  deserving  photograjihers  by  a  tri-

CHAPTER  XXXVII. 

WTAUBAN,    WITH    AN,    A3    YET   DISTANT,   VIEW   OF    N'AKTSS. 

1 ENN  YSON,  in  "  In  Mcmoriiun,"  asks,  in  beautiful  rhyme^ 
the  t|ucstion  which  most  Nature  lovers  have  asked  them- 
selves, and  which  children  generally  ask  themselves — 
"  Can  one  be  sorry  on  a  fine  day  ?  "  The  answer  which 
I  should  be  inclined  to  give  is,  that  it  is  not  very  easy.  I  can  per- 
fectly conceive  afflictions  so  very  great  that  one  would  never  be  glad 
Again  at  all.  But,  short  of  actual  tragedy,  I  should  say  that  there 
were  few  vexations,  however  great,  which  could  not  be  to  some 
extent  mitigated  by  weather. 

I  was  with  a  poet,  and  a  great  one,  once,  and  we  were  In  a  boat 
on  a  cold,  steel-gray  river,  under  a  cold,  motionless,  gray  sky, 
with  the  yellow  willow  leaves  showeriiig  upon  us ;  and  he  was 
reading.  Suddenly  he  looked  up,  and  baid,  "  This  weather  is  enough 
to  kill  one!  " — 1  said  "  I  love  gray  weather." — "  Ah  !  "  he  replied, 
f^*  if  it  maves^  1  love  it,  too."  He  was  right;  poets  are  right  on  such 
subjects:  they  are  our  masters  there.  The  glorious,  wild  motion  of  a 
'  rushing  south- westerly  gale,  even  though  you  cannot  sec  .i  hundred 
yards  for  the  rain,  excites  and  rouses  one.  The  dead,  dull,  leaden  gray 
sky,  which  one  gets  in  aj;  English  autumn,  would  affect  and  depress 
Xhat  nearly  luwest  form  of  our  countrymen,  a  betting  man  ;  not,  of

csitfvt*  to  tbc  same  extent  as  the  gray  arch  of  the  guard-rooms  at 
Ifto  Tow  Solidor  de-pressed  that  sensitive  little  being  Adele,  but  stiU 
MSDine  extent.  Nicholas,  whom  I  luok  upon  as  a  creation  more 
ifcan  clever,  would  certainly  require  more  sherry  wine  on  a  dull^ 
gny,  say,  Cambridgeshire  Stakes  day,  than  he  would  on  a  bright, 
briUtant  Cup  day  at  Ascot.  Some  say  that  Nicholas  is  vulgar:  he  is 
nicant  to  be.  Que  that  picture  of  a  godless,  uld  betting  man,  who 
has  outlived  all  vices  except  those  of  drunkenness  and  that  particular 
form  of  avarice  known  as  betting,  shows  genius.  One  laughs  at  it  j 
but  it  is  a  very  bitter  kind  of  Inugh. 

If  the  weather,  which  means,  after  all,  a  change  of  coJouring,  can 
affect  a  tipsy  old  vagabond,  what  can  one  think  of  the  etTcct  wrought 
on  Adcic  by  her  change  of  colouring  and  circumstances?  Winter, 
gray-ribbed,  stone,  and  (he  life  of  a  corporal's  wife  \  then,  suddenly, 
spring,  a  marquisatc,  and  Montauban.  She  gave  way  utterly  and 
entirely  under  it.  In  spite  of  Louis's  absence,  which  was  her  only 
vexation,  she  told  Father  Martin  that  she  was  the  very  happiest  and 
luckiest  tittle  woman  in  France,  and  that  she  meant  to  remain  so. 
Let  the  Revolutionists  keep  clear  of  Montauban  \  she  would — I 
don't  know  what  she  would  not  do.  As  for  Father  MartJn,  what 
heart  had  he  to  spoil  her  gaiety?     Why,  none  at  all. 

For  he  could  sec,  wise  man,  that  Adclc  was  much  bttt<r  under 
these  circumstances.  I  think  I  know  a  French  friend  who  would 
say  that  Adele  was  a  being  who  required  light.  Father  Martin  did 
not  put  it  in  this  way.  His  formula  was  that  she  was  a  delicately- 
organised  and  very  timid  little  being,  and  the  worst  point  in  her 
character,  a  little  feline  ferocity,  never  came  out  until  she  was 
frjghienvd.  Great,  grand  Mathildc,  he  used  to  say,  had  neither 
cowardice  nor  fcrocit)* ;  but  there  were  some,  and  again  there  were 
others,  children  of  the  good  God.  And  he  was  glad  and  pleased  to. 
see  his  lovely  little  Marquise  happy,  gay,  religious,  kind,  good-tem- 
pered,— drinking  in,  as  it  were,  the  glorious  beauty  around  her. 
"  She  must  not  be  frightened,"  he  said  \  "  she  will  be  spoilt,  if  she 
is  terrified."  Whcrcis  her  mother,  of  Dinan,  said,  "  1  could  scare 
that  little  fool  into  anything  I  chose."  But  she  only  said  this  to 
herself;  what  she  did  is  more  to  the  purpose. 

Martin  knew  perfectly  well  that  there  was  going  to  be  an  end  of 
all  things.  Many  secular  priests  knew  it ;  one  hundred  and  forty-nine, 
for  instance,  at  the  time  of  the  Seance  du  Jeu  it  Paumt  in  the  June 
previous.     1  fancy  that  few  could  have  known  it  better  than  clever.

tecular  priests,  who  hid  tculed  all  their  lives  among  the  lower  orders 
in  the  tou'ns,  and  who  had  to  answer  questions  which,  with  Cardinal 
Lerojr  and  the  bie  Marquis  dc  Valugnes  tu  the  {mtv^-^  could  not  be 
umnred  by  any  honest  man.  At  all  events,  Martin  believed  that 
the  end  of  things  was  come  as  it  was  :  he  had  looked  about  to  see 
where  his  duty  Uy  1  be  had  prayed  for  direction  1  and,  behold,  he 
found  himself  sent  to  Monuuban  to  uke  care  of  this  very  silly  little 
Marquise. 

He  readily  believed  that  his  duty  lay  here.  Certainly,  she  wanted 
much  caking  care  of.  Honest  and  pure  as  she  was,  she  might  be  the 
cause  of  a  great  deal  of  mischief — politically.  And  her  mother,  a 
furious  Rtij-alist,  lived  very  close  by,  and  had  the  intnU ;  and  Mont- 
aubaii  was  buried  in  the  depchs  of  a  forest.  Madame  might  well 
make  it  a  place  for  a  Royalist  plot,  should  such  a  thing  become 
necessary  -,  and  Madame  w.is  a  fix>l,  and  would  most  probiibly  select 
this  mosr  suspected  and  lonely  house  as  being  secret.  Did  not  half 
France  luvow  that  it  was  one  of  the  most  notorious  abodes  of  aris- 
tocratic rascaldom  in  the  provinces — the  only  one  for  miles  round  in 
loyal,  old  Brittany.     He  was  evidently  at  his  post  here. 

And  a  very  pleasant  one.  It  was  a  beautiful  thing  to  see  Adelc's 
wonder  and  delight  at  all  the  beauties  of  Montauban,  her  own  Mont- 
anban.  She  had  seen,  hitherto,  practically  nothing  but  that  wild, 
Crivte  Sheep$<)cn  in  England  :  this  place  was  an  absolute  paradise.  It 
rally  was  such  a  place  as  I  believe  one  cannot  see  often  in  France 

DOW. 

It  stood  on  a  slight  hill,  nearly  a  hundred  feet  high,  in  the  middle 
of  the  foren,  and  was  approached  by  four  avenues — not  regular 
pleached  avenues  .xs  one  sees  in  an  English  park,  but  more  correctly 
tf/Ayi,  cut  in  the  natural  forest,  each  one  of  which  was  perfectly 
straight,  nearly  two  miles  in  length,  arul  of  level  grass.  The  timber 
in  this  forest  was  not  of  any  great  size  where  the  underwood  and 
covert  grew  thickest  i  but  in  other  places  there  were  splendid  groups 
of  cedars,  oaks,  and  chestnuts  of  great  size  and  antiquity,  with  open 
ghdes  around  and  under  them.  Still,  from  the  chateau  the  general 
c^t  was  of  dense,  unbroken  forest  on  all  sides,  with  the  four  great 
gnw  tides  approaching  it.  The  stabks  and  necessary  offices  were 
hidden  hard  by  in  the  forest,  but  carefully  hidden  ;  there  was  no 
Eirm,  DO  cottage,  within  two  miles ;  all  was  careful  desolation : 
"they  made  a  solitude,  and  called  it  peace." 

The  lodges, even,  were  not  allowed  to  be  visible  from  the  chateau} 

K  Z 


't30  "  The  Gentleman  s  Magazine.  [Feb, 

ihcy  were  round  the  comer,  and  ihe  long-drawn  avenue  only  ended 
in  a  screen  of  woodland.  The  old  \Iarquis  used  to  declare  that  no 
stranger  ever  rode  or  drove  round  the  corner  into  the  main  avenue, 
and  caught  sight  of  the  house  for  the  ^rst  time,  without  exclaiming, 
^^ParhUuf"  or  some  similar  form  of  exclamation  and  admiration ; 
and,  indeed,  no  wonder,  for  it  was  exceedingly  beautiful. 

It  stood  a  little  above  the  level  forest,  all  alone,  as  though  upon  an 
alMr.  Its  colour  was  deep  red,  of  red  sandstone,  and  the  roofs  were 
of  slate.  The  sky-line  consisted  of  an  infinitude  of  crowded  French- 
roofed  towers,  dominated  by  the  vast,  soaring,  square  sheet  of  slate, 
pierced  wiih  dormers,  which  capped  the  principal  tower.  Dark, 
warm,  rich,  lurid,  beyond  conception :  in  the  distance  it  seemed  of 
a  heavy  reddish  purple  ;  nearer,  with  less  atmosphere  between  you 
and  it,  more  and  more  of  a  rich  red  ;  and  when  you  had  done 
admiring  its  colour,  you  began  to  sec  the  extreme  bcautj-  of  the 
details.  The  windows,  of  dark  stone,  high  and  narrow,  with  only 
one  multion  on  each,  unlike  a  Tudor  house  ;  when  the  sun  fell  on 
these  windows  they  flamed  with  gtory,  and  a  wizened  child  might 
say,  "See!  the  chateau  of  Monseigncur  burns!"  and  its  mother 
would  say,  "  Not  yet." 

The  little  hill,  the  Mont  Auban,  on  which  the  palace,  for  it  was 
little  else,  stood,  and  which  was  just  high  enough  to  enable  the 
chateau  to  stand  a  little  above  the  forest  and  to  catch  the  sun, — this 
hill  was  scarped  on  all  sides  into  a  terraced  garden,  so  that  in  summer 
time,  when  you  got  near  the  castie,  you  noticed  that,  although  richly 
coloured  when  seen  from  a  distance,  when  you  were  close  it  looked 
almost  dull  and  dingy,  by  reason  of  the  flowers  in  which  its  founda- 
tions were  set. 

There  were  no  glass  houses,  and  so  the  effect  o(  It  was  not  ruined, 
as  is  the  effect  of  most  great  modern  houses  in  England,  by  a  ghastly, 
inartistic  half  acre  of  glass.  There  was  little  need  of  glass  so  much 
south,  with  the  warm  Atlantic  not  so  far  ofF.  There  was  only  the 
forest,  then  scarps  and  terraces  of  flowers,  then  a  wilderness  of 
roses,  which  leapt  as  high  as  they  could  along  the  red  walls,  and 
then  aloft  the  solemn  towers  and  pinnacles.  There  were  no  foun- 
tains i  there  was  no  hill  sufficiently  near  Co  give  the  requisite 
pressure  of  water.  The  gist  of  Adelc's  first  letter  from  Montauban 
to  Louis  was  a  particular  request  that  he  would  allow  her  to  have 
fountains.  **  I  shall  scarcely  consider  myself  properly  married  with- 
out fountains,"  she  said.     "  All  the  world  have  them  now."     Louis 


i868.] 


MademciselU  Maihlidc. 


wrote  back,  and  gave  her  caruhlancht  about  fountains:  **  You  have 
but  few  pleasures,  my  darling  ;  would  1  deprive  you  of  one  ?  " — but 
she  never  got  her  fountains  for  ull  that.  Circumstances  occurred  ; 
for  inst^mcCf  her  mother  took  to  slaying  there,  who,  if  1  tnny  be 
allowed  to  say  so»  was  much  more  likely  to  assist  at  fireworks  than 
at  waterworks  ;  and  to  rhc  end  the  majestic  red  and  purple  pile  con- 
tinued to  raise  its  foundations  from  the  blazing  beds  of  Howers,  and 
break  the  sky-line  with  its  splendid  pinnacles,  without  the  indignity  of 
fountains. 

The  forest  around  was  the  great  delight  of  Father  Manin.  With 
the  exception  of  the  major-domo,  he  had  dismissed  all  the  house 
servants;  but  he  had  made  no  change  among  the  foresters  and  game- 
keepers. "  There  must  be,"  he  said,  "  something  to  attract  a  land- 
lord to  live  amongst  his  tenantry,  and  nothing  attracts  him  so  much 
as  sport.  Louis  loves  it,  and  1  will  not  remove  this  source  of  attrac- 
tion ftum  him  without  his  express  direction."  That  is  the  way  in 
which  Father  Martin  practically  treated  the  game  laws,  which  he 
often  furiously  denounced  when  he  was  brought  €n  visage  with  them. 
But,  then,  this  was  an  exceptional  case.  In  the  first  place,  he 
found  that  the  foresters  and  under- foresters  were  of  a  class  utterly 
different  from  those  which  I  have  called  the  Mamelukes.  They 
were,  one  and  all  of  them,  he  could  sec  at  once,  bright-eyed,  swift- 
walking,  VVclsh-speaking  peasants.  They  did  not  even  understand 
the  language  of  the  Mamelukes ;  and  on  meeting  Father  Martin  in 
the  alleys  of  the  forest,  dressed  as  they  were  in  velveteen  and  gold, 
they  knelc  bestje  the  path  uncovered.  These  men  were  the  people 
of  ihc  country — the  men  we  now  call  Vcndccans. 

In  the  next  place,  this  vapcAiiiroi  was  a  real  paradise  to  Martin. 
He  was  a  man  who  passed  through  the  world  loving  everything  but 
sin;  and,  wicked  man,  very  often  making  the  best  of  thut.  But, 
from  his  education,  he  had  been  forced  to  love  Nature  only  through 
books  't  and,  !o !  here  she  was  face  to  fice  with  him,  and  an  old  man 
in  gre«n  velvet  to  show  her  to  him.  Father  Manin,  deeply  dis- 
approving of  the  game  laws,  held  over  the  question  of  the  disforesting 
of  the  forest  until  he  should  have  had  time  to  consult  Marquis  Louis. 
On  which  the  reader  may  moralise. 

The  oldest  forester  and  Father  Martin  were  at  once  sworn  (ricnds, 
for  the  forester  was  very  religious  (as,  indeed,  were  the  others),  and 
spoke  French.  He  told  Martin  many  things.  "  This  Montauban," 
said  the  Breton,  "  was  the  only  wicked  house  .iround  -,  it  was  the  last , 


132 


Tfte  Gentlentatis  Magazine, 


[Feb. 


wicked  house  southward  ;  but,  thca,  it  wuswickcdci  than  hell.  The 
peasants  had  been  true  and  faithful  to  the  late  Marquis,  now  in  glory 
or  soon  to  be;  for  he,  the  forester,  had  heard  that  he  had  left  eighty- 
five  thousand  livrcs  for  masses,  which  would,  no  doubt,  be  sufficient 
to  pull  him  through,  for  the  late  Marquis  was  a  highly-instructed 
man,  and  knew  the  value  of  a  livre  like  aiiother,  nay,  better  ;  ajtd  his 
spiritual  director  had  been  the  Cardinal  Lcroy,  an  eminent  ecclesiastic, 
who  would,  doubtless,  give  him  the  best  fiscal  advice.  No  doubt, 
the  Marquis  was  by  this  time  in  glory  ;  but  the  good  Father  Martin, 
doubtless,  knew  best.  It  was  iio  business  of  his,  and  he  begged 
pardon." 

Martin  turned  to  him  to  sec  if  he  wa$  mocking.  Not  in  the 
least. 

The  forester  continued  :  **  The  people  had  been  waiting  sadly  for 
the  new  Marquis,  and  had  hoped  that  he  would  have  come  ;  for  they 
heard,  that,  although  somewhat  tainted  with  new  opinions,  he  was 
good,  'i'he  Marquis  not  having  come,  ihcy  had  been  glad  that  he 
had  sent  his  bride  with  such  a  good  father  as  the  one  before  him. 
The  people  thanked  the  father  for  getting  rid  at  once  of  that  abomi- 
nation in  the  neighbourhood — those  accursed  Auvcrgnois." 

"  What  Auvcrgnois  ?  "  asked  Martin. 

"  The  household  servants,  nvon  pere." 

*'  Do  they  not  come  from  here,  then  ?  1  thought  they  were 
Breton." 

The  old  forester  made  a  demonstration.  He  sent  his  three- 
cornered  hat  skjmmini^  away  over  the  fern,  he  stamped  rapidly  with 
his  feet,  he  spit,  he  bit  his  nails,  be  pulled  his  hair  into  wisps,  and  he 
spoke. 

**  These  Norman  priests  !  I  ask  p-irdon,  ihcy  know  nothing.  Allow 
me,  I  beseech  you,  to  relieve  my  mind  in  private.     Do  not  listen." 

"  I  must  beg  you  not  to  conduct  yourself  like  a  lunatic,"  »aid 
Father  Martin,  loftily.  "  They  were,  at  all  events,  your  fellow- 
servants.  These  are  not  times  In  which  to  enrage  yourself  unneces- 
'SarUy." 

The  old  Breton  got  calm,  and  begged  pardon  profusely.  *'  I  was 
furious  because  you  believed  that  these  Auvcrgnois  were  Bretons. 
Do  you  not  know,  then  r " 

Father  Maitin  did  not  know ;  so  the  old  forester  told  him,  which 
is  all  I  have  to  say  about  the  matter.  It  was  an  ugly  story,  like 
.many  at  that  time,  and  like  many  now ;  and  Martin  hated  ugly

stories — he  had  had  too  many  in  talcing  confession.  He  changed 
the  subject. 

**  I  will  talk  to  you  again — often — in  this  bcautiliil  forest,  and  you 
shall  teli  me  what  the  Marijui&  shall  do  for  the  peasantry  \  and,  trust 
mc,  he  shall  do  it,  old  friend,  for  the  Marquis  lives  but  for  good. 
£ee  here,  we  arc  through  the  forest,  and  there  is  a  bill  before  us ;  let 
us  ascend  it.  *  Montcs  atquc  omncs  loci  dcsidcrAti,  laudatc  Domi- 
num."     '  High  hills  and  all  pleasant  places,  praise  ye  the  Lord.'  " 

They  went  up  together  and  sat  on  the  top  of  the  hill  among  some 
murmuting  fiis,  which  reminded  Martin  oi  Sheepsden  ;  he  was 
pleased  at  getting  out  uf  the  close  forest  and  loulcing  south  on  an 
extended  horizon. 

**  The  air  comes  pleasant  here.  How  far  one  can  sec !  I  see 
village  after  village,  forest,  and  rolling  hills,  aitd  then  a  dull  yellow 
Jinc,  with  infiiiily  beyond  it.      VVhat  is  thai  yellow  line  i  " 

"  C'esc  la  Loire,  mon  pcrc." 

*'  And  that  white  mass  ?  those  arc  ships,  I  think." 

"  That  is  Nantes,  my  father." 

"  Ah !  dear  old  Nantes  \  I  vn&  a  child  at  Nantes  once.  That 
was  before  I  went  to  Coutances  to  study  divinity," 

They  turned,  and  saw  the  noble  chateau,  glorious  with  windows 
blazing  fiery  in  the  sunset,  dominating  the  forest. 

"It  is  a  splendid  sight/'  said  the  forester, 

"  Too  splendid,"  s;ud  Martin.  *'  Let  us  look  southward."  And 
so  he  turned  from  the  flaming  castle,  and  looked  once  more  on  the 
broad(  yellow  sands  of  the  Loire,  in  the  dim  distance.  Not  for  the

This  forest  became  his  great  pleasure;  and  indeed  it  was  a  very 
pleasant  place ;  for  here  Nature,  in  one  of  her  most  luxurious,  tem- 
perate moods,  three  hundred  miles  south  of  Devonshire,  had  been 
lefi  utterly  to  herself.  The  formation  was  half  limestone  and  hall 
j>ew  red  sandstone,  and  Father  Manin,  being  just  enough  of  a 
botanist  to  enjoy  it,  botaniscd  immensely,  and  found  all  kinds  ot 
orchises.     He  backslidcd  worse  than  this  before  he  finished. 

Then  Adclc  among  the  flower-beds  was  a  sight  to  see.     Here

was  a  thing  she  could  understand  and  manage,  and  she  became  vt 
perfect  little  Catherine  of  Russia  among  the  gardeners  (Bretons), 
and  ruled  her  empire  of  colour  and  scent  most  despotically.  She 
made  an  awful  mess  of  it,  and  had  much  better  have  left  the  ^- 
dencrs  alone,  for  they  knew  their  business  and  she  did  not.  From 
being  ravished  with  the  result  of  their  labours,  she  began  to  improve 
it  and  try  to  mend  it,  in  a  childlike,  little  way.  She  would  have- 
blowing  flowers  moved  into  other  places ;  she  would  commit  al) 
kinds  of  petty  tyrannies,  which  made  the  gardeners  smile,  while  they 
obeyed  admiring,  and  made  Father  Martin  laugh  at  her,  at  which 
she  would  shake  her  trowel  at  him,  aiid  laugh  again.  So  perfectly 
innocent  and  childish,  the  feeblest  little  bodvi  with  another  stiH 
feebler  life  hanging  on  hers. 

"Why,"  said  Martin  once,  in  one  of  his  very  rare  outbreaks  of 
solitary    anger,    *'  Herod    or    Marai    would     spare    her ;     if    that 

woman "     Father  Martin  said  no  more,  even  to  himself i  he  only 

ground  his  teeth. 

So  they  spent  their  time  in  frivolities'— Ad  el  e  occasionally  quarrel- 
ling with  Father  Martin.  Once  she  penetrated  as  far  into  the 
forest  as  the  home  buildings,  where  she  found  horses  and  mules  in 
abundance,  and  what  was  still  better,  cocks  and  hens.  Now  the 
garden  was  left  more  to  itself,  and  it  was  the  poultry  which  came  in 
for  her  attention.  She  declared  that  Martin  h-id  known  of  this  beau- 
tiful menage  so  close  by  in  the  forest,  and  had  not  lold  her,  for  his 
own  purposes.  Here  were  horses  also — why  should  they  not  ride 
together?  Well,  it  might  be  better  not.  But  there  were  ladies' 
horses,  which  had  been  kept  in  exercise  by  grooms  with  horse-rugs. 
They  were  the  horses  of  Mademoiselle  Minnettc.  Who  was  Made- 
moiselle Minnette  \  Father  Martin  knew,  else  why  did  he  blush  f 
She  had  her  suspicions,  this  little  person.  Who  was  this  Mademoi- 
selle Minnettc  .'—that  was  all  she  asked. 

And  indeed  the  good  father  ;it  this  time  gave  cause  for  suspicion. 
Adcle  watched  his  behaviour.  What  did  lh.it  man  do  with  himself 
before  di'jcuner^  at  1 1  o'clock  f  That  was  what  she  wanted  to 
know  ;  and  the  very  moment  Louis  came  back  ixmld  know.  Louis 
should  ask  him.  Why  did  he  always,  or  very  often — they  were 
the  same  things  to  Adcle— come  in  flushed,  as  if  he  had  been 
running,  and  be  vague  almost  to  Incohcrcncy  in  his  speech  ?  What 
was  this  myster)',  and  why  was  it  reserved  from  htr  ?  This  man 
must  be  watched.

She  watched  him,  and  made  a  great  discovery.  She  saw  him 
coming  very  rapidly  along  one  of  the  alleys  one  moniing — along  the 
Very  avenue  which  led  to  the  back  way ;  and  she  planted  herself 
among  shrubs,  and  saw  him  come  by  her.  It  was  evident  that  thi^ 
wicked  old  mail  had  committed  tapags.  He  had  only  one  shoe,  no 
hat,  the  back  of  his  cassock  was  plastered  with  black  mud,  and 
there  was  a  great  streak  of  yellow  clay  right  across  his  tonsure.  She 
was  determined  to  have  an  explanation  of  all  this.  This  would 
never  do.  The  servants  would  talk ;  the  thing  was  disreputable. 
Yes  -,  she  must  have  an  explanation. 

When  Father  Martin  appeared  perfectly  dressed  at  the  breakfast- 
table,  radiant,  Hushed,  handsomer  than  ever,  he  carried  an  ornament 
which  Adclc  had  not  noticed  as  he  had  passed  her  hurriedly  chat 
moming^hc  had  a  black  eye. 

"  My  dear  Adele,"  he  broke  out,  "  1  have  been  having  such  fiin." 

"So  I  should  conceive,  sir,  by  your  |Krsoiul  appearance." 

"  Yes,  but  you  don*t  know  all.     1  have  been  in  the  forest." 

**  As  you  have  often  been — bstaniiing"  said  Adclc,  with  killing 
Ecorn. 

**  Exactly.  But  this  morning  I  have  seen  what  I  never  hoped  to 
4c<." 

**  I  hope  you  may  never  sec  it  again,"  said  Adclc,  demurely  pour- 
ing out  his  coBee. 

"  I  hope  I  shall  though,"  said  Father  Martin.  "  1  have  seen  a 
great  boar  killed.  There  is  no  breach  of  piinciple  in  that,  for  I 
wish  they  were  all  killed  together.      It  was  absolutely  glorious." 

"  For  you  ?  " 

"  WcU,  not  for  roc,  because  I  am  an  ecclesiastic,  and  have  been 
brought  up  without  any  physical  training ;  but  glorious  for  those 
who  love  it.  That  is  a  very  foolish  head -forester  of  yours  though. 
He  gave  me  the  carbine  ;  and  th.it  Is  a  vcrv  foolish  spiritual  director 
of  yours,  for  he  took  it.  And  the  boar  charged,  and  I  fired,  and  the 
bt>ar  knocked  me  down,  and  the  dogs  went  over  mc  j  yet  it  was 
glorious  for  all  that.  There  is  too  much  sugar  in  this  coffee.  1 
have  tuld  you  of  it  a  hundred  times,  and  still  you  go  on ;  pour  that 
away  and  give  me  another  cup.     Will  you  ever  rcmcmbcrf" 

She  apologised  and  obeyed,  quite  quietly. 

*' A  priest  must  be  a  fool  if  he  cannot  manage  a  woman,"  said 
Father  Martin  to  himself.  But  then  all  women  are  not  Adcles» 
my  good  father.

Things  went  on  pleasantly  enough  at  Montauban  with  these  two  for 
some  muiiths,  and  then  more  pleasantly  still,  for  Louis,  the  Marquis, 
came,  and  stayed  with  chem  for  more  than  three  weeks ;  and  while 
he  was  there,  as  was  arranged,  lo  1   the  young  Marquis  was  born. 

It  was  the  oddest  baby,  the  most  mournful  and  melancholy  baby 
ever  seen.  It  submitted  with  a  miserable  face  to  the  mislaJce  uf 
having  been  born,  but  never  protested  even  by  a  cry  ;  it  gave  itself 
up  to  a  sad  nielanclmly  after  the  first  hour.  1  knew  the  baby  per- 
sonally (as  far  as  a  man  in  my  position  may  know  a  Marquis),  some 
sixty  years  afterwards  at  Dieppe,  when  it  was  younger  and  slightly 
more  cheerful.  At  ibis  later  time,  the  time  of  good  Loui»  Philippe, 
it  was  ver)'  p;u-ticular  about  its  littie  clothes,  and  used  to  wallc  up 
and  down  the  esplanade,  smiling  at  the  sea.  It  had  a  tiny  little 
chateau  above  the  Faubourg  dc  la  Rarr,  with  a  garden  mostly  full  of 
poppies,  of  all  varieties  of  colour.  It  now  lives  at  Montaubun,  and 
is  diligent  about  silk.  It  grew  four  pounds  and  a  half  the  year  before 
last,  at  a  ruinous  price,  but  it  thinks  that  Avith  a  change  of  dynasty 
it  might  make  it  pay.  In  its  political  convictions  this  baby  is  Legi- 
timist. In  its  religious  views  it  is  Ultramontane:  and  the  last  time 
it  was  known  to  weep  was  at  the  signature  of  the  September  Con- 
vention. Perhaps  it  has  laughed  since.  But  every  one  who  ever 
met  it  loved  it,  for  it  goes  ;ibuut  doing  ^od. 

No  wonder  it  was  a  melaticholy  baby,  for  over  its  cradle  sat  its 
father,  telling  nought  but  disaster,  and  mourning,  and  woe.  Every- 
thing was  going  utterly  wrong,  the  people  really  getting  mote  embroiled 
and  more  infuriated  day  by  day,  in  spite  of  the  king's  reconciliation; 
the  present  lull  bcJngoiity,  as  any  one  might  sec,  temporary.  Mirabeau 
might  save  us,  and  would  if  he  could,  but  bah  !  Mirabeau  was 
marked  for  death ;  and  after  him  ruin.  Such  were  the  vagtie, 
jnournful  politics  which  were  talked  over  the  baby's  cradle;  while 
Adele,  utterly  careless  about  the  whole  matter,  sat  casting  beaming 
looks  of  love  from  baby  to  father  and  from  father  to  baby. 

What  did  ihe  care  ? — she  had  those  two. 

Father  Martin  was  a  more  intelligent  listener. 

Louis  had  left  theaimy,  and  was  busying  himself  about  politics. 
He  expressed  himself  glad  that  he  h.id  given  up  his  commission  in 
the  Regiment  de  Dauphine,'  because  the  regiment  was  behaving  very

badly,  and  he  had  quicc  enough  on  his  hands  without  making  lying 
promises  to  men  about  their  pay,  which  never  came  fur  all  their 
lying.  This  led  him  to  speak  of  the  dearct>t  friend  he  had  in  the 
world — Andre  Desilles. 

I  will,  tfjrou  please,  tell  in  my  own  way,  the  substance  of  what 
Louis  told  Father  Martin  concerning  this  singular  young  officer. 

Andre,  always  melancholy,  was  as  a  man  who  had  given  up  hope, 
and  waited  for  death.  Me  looked  old  and  worn,  said  Louts,  and  was 
more  silent  and  solemn  than  ever.  Luuitt  had  taken  him  cu  Alex- 
andre Lamcth's — had  forced  him  to  go  there.  There  had  been 
Bailly,  D'lslgny,  Itarharoux  the  beautiful,  La&ycttc— a  pleasant 
party,  airing  every  kind  of  opinion.  Andre,  who  could  talk  so  well, 
said  nothing  here,  beyond  quietly  traversing  and  rcndermg  nearly 
ridiculous  each  argument.  Ac  the  very  last^  when  discussion  was 
etided,  he  said : 

**  And  what  does  your  master  say  to  all  this  ?  " 

**  The  King  ?  "  said  Bailly,  gently. 

"  No,  M.  le  Maire — MinibL-au,"  said  Andre,  and  politely  took  his 
departure  with  Louis. 

"  Louis,"  he  said,  as  he  walked  homeward  through  the  streets, 
*'  I  have  been  making  a  fool  of  myself." 

*■*■  You  certainly  should  not  have  said  what  you  did  say  about 
Mirabeau  to  M.  Bailly.  You  have  made  both  Lameth  and 
D'Isigny  angry." 

*^  Bless  them  all  with  their  cackle,  I  was  not  referring  to  them," 
was  the  very  disrespectful  reply. 

"  My  dear  Andre " 

"  Well  then,  I  beg  pardon.  I  said  I  had  made  a  fool  of  myself, 
and  1  have  made  a  very  great  one.  I  have  made  a  fool  of  myseU' 
about  a  woman." 

Said  Louis  :  "  Is  it  a  tendrttse  or  a  iiaiton  ?  " 

*'  Liaiian  !  "  said  Andre.     "  Are  you  mad  ?  " 

**I  ask  pardon,"  suid  Louis.  **  My  tongue  went  too  fast.  I 
forgot  that  you  were  no:  as  others." 

"  It  did  indeed,"  said  Andre.     "  I  am  speaking  of  Mathildc."

Louis  was  perfectly  silent^  which  was  the  best  thing  he  could  be. 

**  I  always  loved  her,"  coniiiiuetl  Andre,  *' but  I  believe  1  could 
have  forgotten  her,  at  least  w  some  extent,  had  I  nut  gone  to 
England.  Do  you  remember  La  Garayc,  and  that  you  asked  me 
was  there  anything  between  me  and  her  ?     What  did  I  answer  ?  '* 

"You  said, 'Nothing.'" 

"  I  lied,  Louis  ;  I  lied  horribly.  I  love  her  as  only  a  Frenchman 
can  love.  She  has  taken  my  soul,  but  1  have  not  hers  in  exchange. 
She  has  taken  my  soul,  and  has  given  it  to  thataccurscd  Englishman." 

The  gentle  Louis  said  :  *'  Be  calm,  my  Andre.  Sec,  you  wiU 
break  the  arm  of  your  Louis," 

"I  ask  your  p.irdon  for  hurting  you,  Louis.  1  will  be  calmer;  but 
look  at  the  situation.  It  was  bad  that  I  should  love  her,  it  was 
bad  that  she  should  take  my  soul  from  me  and  return  nothing ;  it 
was  worse  that  she  should  marry  this  Englishman  as  a  matter  or 
cittvtnanie.  All  this  I  could  have  borne.  But  that  she  should 
take  my  soul  and  transfer  it  to  this  dolt  is  the  thing  that  is  un- 
bearable— for  she  loves  him." 

*'  She  loved  mc  once,"  said  LouJs,  very  quietly. 

"  I  could  have  bonie  it  with  ynu**  said  Andre.  "  I  could  have 
borne  it  well  with  you»  for  you  have  always  been  half  of  my  own 
soul.  But  he  ! — that  Englishman  ! — that  he  should  be  her  husband  I 
Is  it  not  maddening  then  \  " 

"  But  perhaps,"  said  Louis,  "  they  will  never  l>c  married." 

"  They  may  be  man  and  wife  now,"  said  Andre.  "  D'Isigny 
will  probably  give  his  consent  j  and  as  he  told  me  yesterday,  with 
his  cursed  thin  smllc,  they  have  probably  married  without  it.  It  is 
all  over  by  now,  and  there  is  no  need  to  say  any  more." 

"  Then  there  is  nothing  to  be  done,"  said  Louis,  heartily 
ashamed  of  himself. 

"One  can  die,  and  there  are  plenty  of  opportunities,"  satd 
Andre.  "  Once  more  am  I  away  from  my  regiment,  to  hear  earlier 
news  from  England.  You  remember  my  scolding  you  at  St.  Malo 
arncglecting  yours.  Good.  Well,  I  go  back  to  my  regiment  to- 
lorrow  for  the  last  time." 

"I  forget  where  the  Regiment  du  Roi  is  just  now,"  said  Louis. 

"  At  Nanci,"  said  Andre  Dcsillcs. 

"  Ts  it  any  steadier  than  jt  was  ? " 

"  I  can  do  anything  with  my  own  company,  in  spite  of  Barbae  j 
so  can    Peltier  and  Enjolras   with    thciis.      The  other  companies

CHAPTER  XXXIX. 

correspokdekce. 

The  Dowager  JLadv  Somers  to  M.  D'Isjgs-v. 

"My  Dear  Sir, — To  youth  ts  given  the  privilege  of  pleasure; 
to  a  ripe  and  imellectual  manhood  such  as  your  own>  is  given  the 
privilege  of  social  and  political  ambition  ;  to  old  age  is  given  the 
privilege  of  garrulit}*.     I  am  going  to  use  my  privilege. 

"  We  are  much  excited  here  by  what  we  hear  from  your  dear 
country — France.  We  are  deeply  distressed.  It  seems  that  you 
of  our  order  in  France  are  beginning  to  reap  the  fruits  of  a  very 
long  course  of  neglect  of  your  peasantry  and  your  town  poor — as 
you  have  often  pointed  out  to  me." 


This  was  abrupt,  but  the  fact  was  that  Sir  Lionel  was  reading 
the  letter  as  she  wrote  it,  and  stopped  this  very  strenuous  old 
lady  from  breaking  any  more  windows. 

"  I,  for  my  part,  very  much  envy  you  the  whirl  and  bustle  of 
politics  in  which  you  seem  entirely  abKorbcd.  I  myself,  as  the 
intimate  personal  friend  of  Chatham,  envy  you.  But  it  seems  to 
me  that  you  are  looking  for  a  statesman,  and  are  not  able  to  find  one. 
M.  Mirabeauj  whom  1  think  1  may  call  friend,  does  not  seem  to 
understand  the  situation,  and  is,  in  fact,  in  opposition.  M.  Neckcr  is 
a  mere  banker.  What  is  wanted  just  now  is  a  minister,  who  will 
repress  and  keep  down  the  mob. 

"  We  arc  extremely  dull  here,  at  Ashurst ;  and  I  fear  it  Is  duller 
still  at  Shccpsden — if  you  ever,  in  the  whirl  of  politics,  remember 
such  a  place.  Mathilde,  who  is  as  a  daughter  to  me  now,  Hnds  it, 
I  fear,  very  dull  there.  She  is  utterly  alone.  When  you  gave  your 
consent  to  the  alliance  between  our  families  I  was  glad.  I  am  glad 
no  longer.  I  wish  it  consummated.  There  is  nothing  to  prevent 
it.    The  poor  child  is  in  a  false  position.     You  have  permitted  us

to  announce  the  engagement  between  her  and  Lionel,  and  yet  ho 
hardly  likes  to  go  ihere.  I  do  eaniesily  beg  that  there  may  be  a 
marriage.     There  is  everything  for  it,  and  iiuthing  against  it. 

"Bahuara  Somers." 

D'Isigny,  as  was  the  nature  of  the  man,  began  just  where  the  old 
lady  left  off;  and  put  his  spoke  in  the  wheel  at.  once,  leaving  his 
garrulity  to  follow.  Do  any  of  my  readers  know  a  man  who  hates 
having  anything  dmt  ?  1  know  many.  It  is,  however,  more  an 
English  failing  than  a  French  one.  But  D'lsigny  fitted  with  no 
party  in  France ;  and  such  decisive  power  of  action  as  he  had  was 
merely  physical.  If  he  had  been  on  the  spot,  with  full  powers  of 
bullying  everybody,  he  would  have  farced  Sfr  Lionel  to  marry 
Mathildc  at  the  sword's  point  Immediately,  would  have  posted  to 
Lambeth  for  a  special  licence,  for  he  dearJy  loved  furious  and 
unnecessary  action.  But  this  audacious  proposal  of  having  hii 
daughter  married  to  the  man  of  her  heart  and  the  man  of  hts  choice, 
without  his  being  present  to  bully  them,  was  a  maitcr  which  must 
be  at  once  put  a  stop  to.  He  began,  as  I  said,  where  the  old  lady 
left  off.

! 


"  Madam, — With  regard  to  your  somewhat  extraordinary  pro- 
posal, that  my  daughter  should  consummate  a  marriage  with  your 
son,  without  the  presence  of  her  family,  I  beg  to  state  that  I  must 
give  a  most  emphatic  refusal. 

"  I  was  under  the  impression  hitherto  that  the  D*Isignys  drew 
their  honours  from  even  a  purer  source,  could  such  a  thing  be,  than 
the  extremely  doubtful  one  of  the  Cretin  son  of  David  Rizzio,  the 
guitar  player." 

He  revelled  over  the  last  paragraph.  There  were  plent)'  of  r'ftl 
in  it,  and  he  burred  them.  He  read  it  aloud  to  himself.  He  thought, 
should  he  have  to  finish  Lady  Somcrs  fiicc  to  fece,  where  would  h« 
put  his  emphasis — R-r-Izzio  or  C-r-r-etin  ?  He  tried  guita-r-r, 
but  that  would  not  do  ;  and  Rizzio,  as  he  said  it,  made  a  dactyl, 
whcras  Cretin  was  a  goad  spondee.  Cretin  was  a  withering  word,  • 
and  he  determined  to  use  it. 

"  The  man  was  a  firol,"  says  the  reader.  That  is  just  the  thing  I| 
am  trying  to  prove.  At  the  same  time,  not  altogether  such  a  fool'j 
as  he  looked.      He  would  have  scorned  you  had  you  said  this  toj

Sir  Lionel  Somcrs  might  wait  a  little.  Who  could  say  what  might 
happen  in  this  general  overturn  ? 

When  he  had  got  so  far,  he  was  so  extremely  pleased  with  him- 
self that  he  got  to  a  certain  extent  civil,  and  went  on. 

"  Your  ladyship  is  doubtless  aware  that  I  have  been  accustomed 
to  be  master  in  my  own  house.  On  this  occtsion,  my  dear  madam, 
I  tnust  be  allowed  to  use  my  old  privilege,  even  at  the  expense  of 
an  apparent  want  of  g.ilUntry.  It  is  impossible  to  say  wheie  any  of 
us  may  find  ourselves  in  a  year.  Mathilde  may  be  the  daughter 
of  a  ruined,  possibly  beheaded  outcast.  It  is  better  to  wait.  The 
Revolutionists  have  thus  e.nrly  taken  the  very  wise  course  of  ruining 
the  most  eminent  and  to  them  the  most  dangerous  men,  and  so  my 
tes  in  Brittany  arc  laid  w.istc.  I  .im  actually  at  this  moment 
cndcnt  on  my  wife's  estate  at  Shcepbdcn  for  my  personal 
expenditure. 

"  And  again,  is  this  a  time  for  marrying  or  giving  in  marriage  ? 
You  may  say  th.it  it  is  right  that  my  daughter  should  have  a  pro- 
tector. She  has  one  in  you.  Could  she  have  a  better  one  ?  No, 
tny  dear  madam  :  this  affair  must  be  delayed. 

"  I  met  Brezc  tlie  other  day,  looking  older,  but  well  kept.  He 
remembers  you,  and  sends  all  kinds  of  compliments.  Your  old 
friend  Bailly  carries  himself  as  well  as  ever  ;  though  not  so  young  as 
he  was,  his  carriage  is  still  grand  and  graceful  -,  certainly  he  stands  on 
the  finest  leg  I  have  ever  seen.  The  King  gets  fat  and  sleepy,  the 
Queen  as  cadianc  and  brisk  as  ever.  A  sad  thing  about  the  little 
Dauphin,  was  it  not  ?  He  was  always  a  puling  child,  and  sn  dtt 
that  the)'  exhibited  calomel  when  he  had  the  catarrh  on  him,** 
etc.,  etc.,  etc. 

Let  the  reader  fill  up  this  fiddle-faddle  for  himself.  Lady  Somers 
never  read  it  fairly  through.  While  D'lslgny  was  flattering  himself 
that  he  had  shown  the  old  lady  the  perfect  determination  of  his 
character,  and  then  had  charmed  into  good  humour  by  his  fashion- 
able and  political  babble,  Lady  Somcrs  was  rubbing  her  mittens 
together,  and  was  saying  Co  her  son  : — 

"  That  future  father-in-law  of  yours  is  a  very  rcmaikable  man." 

Sir  Lionel  expressed  a  somewhat  doubtful  assent.

"  My  dearest  mother ! " 

"  My  dearest  son  I  I  am  very  old,  and  not  very  wise,  but  he  h 
written  me  the  shallowest,  falsest,  flimsiest  letter  which  I  have  ever 
leceived  In  my  lifetime.  Read  ic  for  yourself,  and  judge.  When 
you,  or  I,  or  Mathilde  write  a  letter  with  a  purjiosc  in  it,  wc  state 
that  purpose  :  he  never  suites  It.  His  purpose  is  delay  ;  why,  I  can- 
not conceive,  because  Mathildc  is  not  JJIcely  to  meet  again  with  such 
a  parti  as  you.  He  could  not  say  so.  Just  examine  that  letter  as  a 
curiosity.  Why,  the  man  did  not  Icnow  what  he  was  going  to  say 
when  he  began  writing  it.  And  then,  when  he  thinks  that  he  has 
thoroughly  deceived  and  dazzled  me,  he  tries  to  come  over  me  with 
his  Brezes  and  Baillys.  It  is  absolutely  impossible  that  Brcze,  who 
is,  1  believe,  Lord  Chamberlain  or  something  of  that  sort,  could  ever 
have  heard  of  me  in  his  life.  As  for  Bailly  and  his  legs,  I  don't 
know  his  legs,  because  I  never  set  eyes  on  them.  That  is  the  oldest 
trick  known  in  society,  that  of  trying  to  flatter  a  person  by  pretending 
to  bring  messages  from  eminent  people  whom  thity  have  never 
seen.  And  for  him  to  try  such  a  very  old  trick  on  such  a  vety 
old  woman  as  I  am  I  Why,  it  is  monstrous  !  He  is  not  truthful, 
that  man." 

*^  My  dear  mother,  I  should  have  said  that  he  was  the  soul  of 
truth." 

"  He  win  not  he  to  any  one  who  wilf  allow  him  to  bully  them," 
was  all  the  answer  Sir  Lionel  could  get  from  his  mother. 

This  letter  came  on  Sunday  morning. 

"  I  shall  not  go  to  church  this  morning,  my  dear.     I  could  n 
communicate  alter  that  letter.     Stay  you  at  home  also,  my  dear,  ani 
read  me  the  service." 

Sir  Lionel  got  his  father's  praycr-boolc,  and  pushed  a  chair  opposite 
to  his  mother.      He  then  found  her  her  own  prayer-book. 

**  Shall  I  ring  for  the  servants  ?  '*  he  said. 

'^  No,"  she  said  \  "you  and  I  alone.  And  I  am  getting  blind 
and  the  print  of  this  book  is  too  small :  and  1  am  getting  deaf,  .-ind 
cannot  hear  you  where  you  sit ;  so  come  and  sit  on  this  stool  at  my 
feet,  and  I  can  look  over  your  shoulder." 

So  Sir  Lionel  sat  down  before  his  mother,  and  leaned  his

against  her  Imee,  while  he  read  the  Litany  to  her,  35  was  his  custom 
on  the  mornings  when  she  could  not  go  to  church. 

"  There  is  nothing  left,"  said  the  old  lady  at  last,  **  but  to  wait.  I 
E     should  say  no  more.     Submit." 

So  they  were  all  scattered  and  separated  one  from  another, 
wondering  were  they  ever  to  be  united  again.  Each,  however,  had 
some  hope,  some  pleasure.  Adcic  had  her  baby  and  her  castle, 
Msthildc  had  her  Lionel,  D'lsigny  had  ht»  politics,  Dc  Valognes  his 
Miciety.  One  only  of  the  whole  group  was  utterly  and  entirely 
alone,  perfectly  without  any  hope :   it  was  Andre  Desillcs. 

There  had  been  misunderstandings,  and  things  had  gone  wrongs 
and  he  was  the  victim.  He  quietly  returned  to  his  duty  and  his 
barraclcs. 

The  old  regimental  life  was  so  thoroughly  distasteful  to  him  now. 
He  bad  loved  his  regiment,  his  duty,  and  his  men  ;  but  all  was  now  a 
wearisome  and  to  him  an  ignoble  complication,  difficulty  upon  diffi- 
cult)*, and  among  the  whole  of  rhe  Regiment  du  Roi  there  was  scarce 
any  one  whom  he  could  call  a  real,  true  friend,  besides  Peltier. 

He  was  very  popular  among  the  officers.  He  was  a  gentleman,  a 
kind-hearted  man,  a  man  whom  every  one  in  their  hcaru  respected 
and  deferred  to  before  his  f.tcc  ;  behind  his  back,  however,  all  the 
officers,  from  Colonel  Denoue  downwards,  would  regret  that  Andre 
Dcsilles,  thorough  hm  kjmme  that  he  was,  was  to  some  extent  in- 
fected with  the  new  ideas. 

A  very  young  nobleman,  the  last  joined  officer  of  this  most  un- 
lucky regiment,  said  one  evening,  as  Andre  Desillcs  Icit  the  mess- 
uble,— 

**  I  don't  like  that  man.  He  wears  no  monstiches,  and  his  heart 
is  with  the  people." 

Denoue  was  on  him  at  once. 

*■•  Capuin  Dcsilles,  sir,  is  the  finest  officer  I  have.  If  the  worst 
comes,  I  trust  to  his  gentle  influence  with  the  men,  which  he  has  so 
long  cjcerciscd,  to  prevent  a  catastrophe.  If  we  had  all  been 
Dcsilles,  sir,  we  should  have  rendered  revolution  both  unnecessary 
and  impossible."     And  there  was  a  general  murmur  of  applause  all

[Feb. 


Tound  the  RibiC)  for  a  bold  and  generous  sentiment  is  sure  to  catch  a 
Frenchman's  heart. 

This  was  all  very  well,  but  it  was  weary  work.  Though  he  was 
respected  by  the  officers  and  trusted  by  the  men,  nut  only  of  the  Regi- 
ment du  Roi,but  also  by  the  Chateau  Vieux  Swiss,  and  the  Mestre- 
de-Camp  dragoons,  he  was  utterly  alone.  He  would  have  liked  peace, 
this  poor  fellow  ;  here  was  none  :  he  would  have  liked  action  \  here 
was  none  either.  Nothing  but  a  ceaseless,  miserable,  ignoble  wrangle 
about  money,  in  which  his  order  was  most  distinctly  in  the  wrong; 
and  he  standing  between  officers  and  men,  in  the  thankless  office  of 
a  peace-maker. 

He  grew  sick  at  heart  when  he  began  to  examine  the  regimental 
accounts,  and  to  find  out,  what  he  had  long  suspected,  that  the  men 
been  grossly  and  systematically  cheated,  and  that  their  case  was 
"one  which  could  only  be  put  right  by  prompt  acknowledgment  and 
restitution  on  the  part  of  the  officers.  Acknowledgment  and  resti- 
tution !  The  officers  were  a  set  of  high-bred,  high-^  nobles,  con- 
fident, ill  their  ignorance,  of  victor)',  who  hated  their  men. 

'•'•  I  have  done  as  "^qm  asked  me,"  he  said  to  Denoue,  in  secret 
conclave,  '*  and  the  men  arc  in  the  right.  To  declare  this  at  this 
moment  would  be,  you  s.iy,  ruin.  1  do  not  believe  it.  By  paying 
these  men,  and  by  pacifying  them,  wccould  make  them  follow  us  to 
the  devil." 

"  What  is  the  sum  ?  "  asked  Denoue. 

"  I  nuke  out  180,000  livrcs.^  Barbot  will  not  make  it  much 
less." 

*^  This  Barhot  is  at  the  head  of  those  who  demand  accounts,  is  he 
not?  "  said  Denoue. 

"  He  is  that  man,"  said  Dcsilles.  "  He  is  very  ignorant,  very 
ferocious,  but  at  the  same  time  very  shrewd.  And  he  has  always 
checkmated  my  influence  among  the  men,  for  he  hates  me ;  why,  I 
cannot  conceive,  but  he  hates  mc." 

"  Give  him  his  yellow  ticket,  and  send  him  marching,"  said 
Denoue. 

**  I  prefer  having  the  most  dangerous  man  in  the  regiment  under 
my  own  eye,"  said  Andre. 

*'  What  shall  you  propose,  tnfn  ?  "  said  Denoue.

**  Restitution,"  said  Andnf. 

*'  But  we  shall  have  to  borrow  the  money  from  the  municipality/' 
said  Dcnou«. 

"  I  would  lend  it  myself,  were  it  not  for  my  sisters.  Nay,  I  will 
lend  50,000  livrcs  as  it  is." 

"  But  it  is  such  a  precedent,"  said  Denouc.  "  We  shall  have 
Mestrc-lc-Camp,  and  even  Chateau  Vicux,  up  in  amu  at  once." 

"  Let  us  do  rlihty  and  put  ourselves  in  the  keeping  of  the  honour 
of  Frenchmen,"  was  the  answer  of  Andre  Desillcs. 

Denouc  drummed  on  the  table,  and  whistled. 

'*  TTiis,"  he  very  sensibly  remarked,  "  will  be  the  very  devil." 

It  vras  the  month  of  August  when  Scrgeant-Major  Batbot  de- 
manded the  accounts.  It  must  have  been  a  strange  scene.  The 
ctat-major  was  on  one  side  oi  the  table  in  the  caserne,  and  on  th( 
other  Sergeant  Barbot  and  the  men.  Behind  the  ctat-major  stood 
Andri:  DestUes,  calm  and  majestic,  the  only  man  among  the  crowd 
of  officers  which  backed  him  who  had  his  lip  shaved — a  fact  which 
possibly  did  him  more  good  with  the  men  than  a  hundred  protesta- 
tions. His  great  soul  recoiled  itom  his  position.  He  had  to  confess 
immense  injustice  and  wrong,  anij  was  put  forward  as  the  best- 
trusted  of  the  officers,  to  ofTer  a  lardy  and  utterly  incomplete 
restitution. 

There  was  a  great  squabbling,  of  course,  over  the  books.  The 
ctat-major,  however,  with  all  his  vast  experience  In  the  peculation  of 
soldiers'  p-iy,  was  no  match  at  all  for  the  stupid  and  brutal  Barbot, 
backed  and  prompted  as  he  was  by  a  keen  young  lawyer  from 
Dauphine.  Matters  went  worse  and  worse  against  the  officers  :  the 
men's  case  was  too  good.  At  last  Andre  Desilles  had  to  come  for- 
ward and  make  the,  to  him,  sickening  confession  that  the  officers 
allowed  the  men's  claims,  and  would  pay  175,000  livrcs,  which  they 
woufd  borrow  from  the  municipality. 

Denoue's  voice  was  heard  over  the  half-murmur,  half-cheer,  which 
followed  this  announcement. 

**  Captain  Andre  DesiUcs  lends  50,000  livres  of  this  money  out 
of  his  own  pocket,  without  security,  and  without  hope  of  payment." 

The  murmurs  swelled  into  a  cheer,  the  cheer  into  2  roar,  Barbot 
found  himself  pushed  half  across  the  table  by  the  white-coated 
soldiers  from  behind,  who  pushed  forwards,  stretching  out  their 
hands  to  Andre  Desilles.  They  were  excitable,  these  rebels,  and 
cried  out  "  Bon  Desillcs  !  Bon  Capicaine  I  "     Some  of  them,  "  Ami

du  peupic ! "  which  did  him  no  good  among  his  brother  officers. 
They  behaved  badly,  this  Regiment  du  Roi  j  but  what  did  they 
want  \  Oiily  to  be  treated  as  men  and  not  as  dogs,  and  to  have  their 
wages  paid. 

When  Barbot  had  recovered  his  equilibrium  after  the  talhutt  he 
had  suffered  from  the  white  coats  behind,  he  handed  the  books  back 
to  the  ctat-major,  and  looked  round  him  before  speaking. 

And  indeed,  if  one  may  pause,  on  a  strange  sight.  On  the  one 
side  of  the  table  were  ihc  officers,  dcfunt  niid  humiliated  ;  on 
the  other  side  the  soldiers,  defiant  and  triumphant  :  officers  and 
soldiers  separated  in  thought,  habit,  and  manner  of  life,  by  the  longi- 
tude of  the  earth,  Now,  the  other  day  I  happened  to  be  walking  about 
among  a  French  regiment,  and  I  witnessed  the  scandalous  fact  of  the 
officers  talking  familiarly  with  the  men.  I  saw  more  than  this.  I 
saw  the  colonel  himself,  in  his  shirt- sleeves,  leaning  out  of  window 
in  a  by-street,  and  talking  to  a  sergeant.  I  could  bring  witnesses  to 
prove  that  fact;  quite  sufficient  in  number  to  hang  that  colonel,  if 
treating  your  men  familiarly  were  a  capital  offence.  Yet  they  say 
that  the  French  army  is  not  the  worst  in  Europe.  And  any  state  of 
things  is  better  than  that  at  Nanci  in  August,  1790. 

Bat  hot,  the  head  and  front  of  the  mutiny,  looked  at  the  soldiers 
behind  him  and  the  officers  in  front,  and  saw  only  Andre  Dcsillc* 
standing  between  the  two  parties,  and  Barbot  hated  him  with  a 
hatred  which  would  have  disgraced  C0II0C  d'Herbois.  He  spoke  to- 
him. 

*'  We  are  deeply  obliged  to  Captain  Desilles  for  what  he  has  done 
for  us.  He  loves  the  people,  this  Captain  Desilles,  my  comrades. 
Has  he  not  made  up  the  deficiencies  of  his  brother  aristocrats  out  of 
his  own  pocket?  But  he  is  patriot,  this  Captain  Desilles.  Htr 
loves  the  daughter  of  D'islgny  the  Breton.  He  loves  Mathilde 
D'IsIgny  ;  and  she,  as  all  the  world  knows,  is  the  bosom-friend  of 
that  king  and  emperor  among  patriots,  Jean  Paul  Marat.  Ah  )  he 
is  good  patriot,  this  man.     Sec  how  he  blushes." 

There  was  a  horrible  dexteritj-  in  this  blow  which  made  Andre 
reel.     He  turned  to  Denoue  and  said, — 

"Let  me  gel  out.  I  have  done  this  shameful  business  for  you  ; 
let  me  go  to  my  quarters.  Why  is  everything  to  fall  on  me  ?  What 
have  I  done  that  God  should  visit  mc  $0  hardly  ?  "  And  the  com- 
mandant made  room  for  the  young  man,  with  bowed  head. 

Denoue  was  perfectly  right  in  his  view  of  what  would  happen

after  this  concession.  The  regimenis  Mestre-de-Camp  and  the 
Swiss  Chateau  Vieux  were  up  at  once.  I  cannot  think  that  it  is  my 
place  to  rollow  out  in  a  mere  story  the  details  of  this  most  miserable 
2X)A  unhappy  squabble  at  Nanci  further  than  the  exigences  of  a 
lolciabljr  told  story  require.  I  will  do  so  as  briefly  as  possible.  But 
I  may  be  allowed  to  say,  that  whenever  I  have  puzzled  out  a  piece 
of  history  for  myself,  and  go  to  cither  Gibbon  or  Carlylc  for  confir- 
mation, I  find  them  not  only  absolutely  correct,  but  I  find  myself 
jcfcrred  to  other  authorities  which  I  had  never  consulted.  Writing 
.as  one  who  does  not  profess  history,  to  general  readers,  this  seems 
wonh  while  to  say.  There  arc  no  critics  alive  now  who  can  correct 
Gibbon  or  Carlylc  with  regard  to  accuracy.  One  gets  a  pud  a  terre 
with  them.  With  regard  to  this  Nanci  story,  or  as  some  would  call 
it,  the  St.  Malo  story,  one  can  get  the  whole  truth  of  it  'm  Carlyle's 
**  French  Revolution." 

I  think,  then,  that  I  would  rather  pass  over  the  miserable  squabble 
jbout  the  arrears  of  pay  and  so  on,  and  attend  principally  to  our  old 
friend,  Andre  Desilles. 

Andre  Desilles  had  so  much  on  his  hands  for  the  next  few  days, 
that  he  had  but  little  time  to  brood  over  the  words  of  Barbot.  A 
-deep  and  growing  anxiety  had  begun  to  possess  him.  The  men 
were  difieient  to  what  they  hid  been  before,  ia  spite  of  their  short- 
lived enthusiasm  towards  him  ;  and  he  began  to  sec  more  and  more 
clearly  that  the  whole  matter  was  resolving  itself  into  a  duel  between 
the  two  coolest  and  soundest  heads  on  each  side :  that  is  to  say, 
between  himself  on  the  part  of  the  ofEccrs,  and  Barbot  on  the  pan 
of  the  men. 

They  had  been  on  scarcely  concealed  terms  of  hatred  and  suspi- 
cion for  more  than  two  years  now,  and  Andre  had  always  believed 
that  he  had  taken  the  measure  of  his  man.  He  found  that  he  had 
not  done  so.  This  clcphaniinc  Titus  Gates  of  a  man  had  a  brain 
which,  if  as  small  in  proportion  to  his  bulk  as  the  elephant's,  was  of 
equally  high  quality.  The  biutal  Barbot,  he  began  to  sec,  was  a 
man  who  knew  well  what  he  wanted,  and  would  noL  be  turned  from 
the  thing  he  wanted  except  by  death.  To  him  was  opposed  Andre 
Desilles,  with  his  hands  tied,  backed  by  a.  mass  of  violent,  feather- 
brained aristocrats  who  hated  the  man,  and  with  the  consciousness 
that  his  cause  was  bad.  Barbot  looked  at  Captain  Desilles  as  almost 
a  conquered  man. 

The  cavalry  te^mcnt  Mestrcde-Camp,  and  the  Swiss  regiment

Chateau  Vieux,  rose  at  once,  dcmaiidc-d  accounts,  and  the  officers  of 
the  Swiss  regiment  were  so  Incautious  as  to  give  the  strap  to  the  two- 
soldiers  who  came  to  negotiate.  The  other  three  regiments  made 
heroes  of  these  two  Swiss,  and  the  quarrel  assumed  quite  a  new 
phase.  The  men  in  ihese  two  regiments  beat  their  officers,  and  the 
Swiss  regiment  extorted  from  them  24,000  livres,  and  the  cavalry 
regiment  27,000  livres,  as  a  provisional  instalment  of  their  just  de- 
mands. There  was  a  distinct  panic  among  the  officers  of  all  ranks, 
and  among  them  all  Andre  Dcsilles  was  known  as  being  the  only 
one  of  any  talent  whatever  who  had  in  any  degree  the  confidence  of 
the  men. 

Thejr  looked  to  him  for  impossibility.  He  told  them  so.  "  I 
am  only  one,"  he  said.  *'  Why  have  you  not  been  as  I  have  been  ? 
Do  you  think  that  in  my  single  person  1  am  capable  of  saving 
you  from  reaping  tlic  fruits  of  your  own  actions  ?  '  Arrest 
Sergeant  Barbot,  you  say.'  I  doubt  if  it  would  be  possible;  you 
would  only  make  a  martyr  oT  him.  Leave  him  to  me:  I  will 
do  atl  I  can — by  my  life  1  will}"  and  they  were  forced  to  be 
content. 

The  Regiment  du  Roi  continued  now,  having  seen  the  success  of 
the  other  regiments,  to  demand  a  rectification  of  their  accounts.  At 
the  instigation  of  Barbot,  a  detachment  of  them  carried  away  the 
military  chest  to  their  quarters  :  by  the  persuasion  of  Andre  Dcsille^ 
they  brought  it  back  again  the  next  dav.  The  duel  between  these 
two  singularly  difTcicnt  men  had  now  fiiirly  begun  1  both  had  thrown 
away  the  scabbard  :  the  Lafayettcit^t  and  Hcbertist  stood  face  to 
face,  without  any  disguise  whatever ;  and  between  them,  for  them 
CO  act  on,  and  turn  one  way  or  another,  a  mass  of  nini,  honest 
fellows  enough,  who  had  but  little  will  of  their  own,  .ind  would 
rather  be  loyal  than  not. 

Aiidre's  hands  were  much  strengthened  all  this  time  by  the  National 
Guard,  who  respected  him.  These  men  sccni  to  have  behaved 
very  well  indeed.  Before  the  arrival  of  the  decree  of  the  National 
Assembly  against  the  mutineers,  they  had  persuaded  the  three  regi- 
ments to  submission  ^  and  all  seemed  as  if  it  would  go  smoothly. 
The  arrest  of  the  eight  soldiers  of  du  Roi,  when  sent  as  deputies  to- 
Paris  to  explain  their  grievances,  ni;idc  things  worse  again,  but  the 
National  Guard  were  in  favour  of  order. 

Then  came  Malscigne,  blundering  and  scolding,  scolding  among 
others  Andre  Dcsilles  for  truckling  to  the  men's  demands.     When

dismissed  from  his  scolding,  Andre  could  not  help  a  secret  smile,  at 
the  utter  defiance  of  Chateau  Vieux  for  this  gentleman. 

If  one  dared  laugh  in  the  middle  of  such  a  miserable  business,  one 
would  laugh  at  the  troubles  of  this  most  unfortunate  M.  Malscigne. 
What  unutterable  confusion  a  bull-headed  man  of  the  "  Plunger  " 
order  can  make,  we  have  seen  once  or  twice  in  our  own  times ; 
but  never  better  than  here.     He  undid  all  that  little  which  Andic 

|Dc5illes  had    been  able  to  do,  and  did  worse  mischief  atill.     His 

'troubles  are  told  by  Mr.  Carlylc  with  a  wit  after  which  my  feeble 
efforts  would  look  poorer  than  poor.  Only,  if  I  may  dare  say  so, 
Mr.  Carlylc  has  strangely  enough  missed  a  little  of  the  humour  of 
the  situation.  The  sudden  arrival  of  Dcsmoices,  aide-de-camp  of 
Laiaycttc,  at  Nanci,  was  such  a  characteristic  instance  of  Labyctte's 
fussiness,  that  I  wotMJer  it  escaped  him.  He  never  even  mentions 
the  man's  name.  But  it  is  little  use  examining  **  originals  "  after 
Mr.  Carlyle. 

Andre  had  done  his  best  \  he  could  do  no  more.  Malseignc 
had  turned  the  officers  against  him,  except  Peltier,  Enjo!ras,  and 
Cassaignac,  as  having  tampered  with  the  men,  and  he  was  now  all 
alone.    Dcnoue  turned  against  him  now,  as  much  as  hit  good  heart 

^would  allow  him.     He  had  few  friends,  except  among  his  men :  he 

^ipent  the  next  few  days  among  them. 

**  Help  us,  and  wc  will  submit.  Why  are  they  not  all  like  you  ? " 
was  what  the  younger  men  said  pitifully.  "  What  have  wc  done 
that  wc  are  to  be  cheated  and  treated  like  dogs  ?  Wc  arc  not  dis- 
loyal." And  the  elder  ones  said,  *'  Monsieur  Ic  Capitainc  means  well, 
but  we  must  be  paid,  and  we  must  have  promotion  from  the  ranks. 
There  is  not  a  man  in  this  regiment  who  would  not  follow  monsieur 
to  the  world's  end  j  but  look  at  the  others." 

He  said  to  one  vieux  moustache,  **  I  am,  to  tell  you  the  truth, 
my  friend,  somewhat  tired  of  my  life.  I  thought  I  lived  only  for 
good,  yet  see  I  cannot  do  any.      Is  not  that  strange  again?  " 

"  You  should  declare  for  the  Revolution,"  said  the  old  private. 
"All  things  will  come  right  after  the  Revolution.  You  are  good 
boy,  you.  You  could  do  anything  with  the  men  if  it  w«e  not 
for      -ah  !  voila  Monsieur  Barbot." 

In  ftict  Barbot  was  everywhere.  Andre  cared  less  about  this 
nowj  for  such  powers  of  doing  good,  and  of  mending  matters, 
had  been  taken  from  him.  He  thought  himself  beaten,  although  he 
was  ntt  beaten  ;  for  the  good  which  he  did  in  the  Regiment  du

Roi  remained.   "  La  Loi !  La  Loi !  "  they  cried  in  the  agojiy 
struggle.     I  have  got  somehow  to  love  that  regiment,  ajid  to  connect 
its  virtues  with  Andre  Desillcs. 

Malseignei  it  U  known,  found  the  claims  of  the  soldiers  of  the 
Chateau  Vieux  so  exceedingly  sound,  that  he  had  nothing  to  do 
but  to  scold  thctn  for  insubordination.  They  cried  to  confine  him 
to  their  barracks ;  he  cut  his  way  out,  and  the  two  other  regiments, 
acted  on  by  Andre  Dcsilles,  gave  him  a  guard  of  honour.  Never- 
theless the  shrewd  Swiss  insisted  on  being  paid  without  abatement, 
and  Malseignc  had  nothing  for  it  but  to  scold^  and  scold,  and  order 
them  to  Sarre  Louis,  whither  they  apparently  declined  to  go. 

At  this  point  in  stepped  Desmottes,  ordering  the  National  Guard 
to  assemble,  for  they  knew  not  wh.it  :  the  confusion  was  beyond  a 
vihlied  and  tijmbbed  Andre  Desillcs  now.  He  sat  and  walked, 
thoughtful,  during  these  few  days,  very  grave  and  very  quiet,  for 
he  had  got  a  letter  from  Adclc,  which  nude  him  tliink  and  think 
again.  His  work,  which  was  still  diligently  done,  was  done  as  it 
were  with  a  wise  instinct  j  for  he  was  saying  to  himself  all  the  time, 
first  "yes,"  then  "  no,"  then  "impossible." 

Malseignc  made  his  bolt  to  Luneville,  pursued  by  a  troop  of 
Mestre-de-Canip.  He  arrived  at  Luneville  in  time  to  save  himself. 
He  sent  a  troop  of  still  loyal  carbineers  against  the  troop  of  Mcstre- 
dc-Camp.  3000  men  started  from  Nanci,  marching  on  Luneville 
at  this  Intelligence  j  but  la  esprits  concUiants  intct-vifnnenty  and 
Malseignc  gave  hts  parole  to  return  to  Nanci  on  condition  of  safe 
guard.  He  broke  it  in  trying  to  bolt  once  more,  aiid  was  brought  to 
Nanci,  infuriated  now  by  rumours  of  being  sold  to  Austria,  %■ 
prisoner. 

And  meanwhile  the  active  Andre  Desillcs  was  paralysed.  What 
could  have  paralysed  him  now,  at  this  supreme  moment  ?  What 
could  have  made  him  disregardful  of  the  impending  civil  war  ?  'I"he 
insolence  of  Malseignc  I  hardly.  The  cold  looks  of  his  brother 
officers  ?  still  less :  he  could  give  scorn  for  scorn  with  any  man. 
Dread  of  Barbot  ?  not  that  assuredly,  for  he  was  in  the  barracks 
with  his  men,  and  as  they  showed  at  the  last,  they  were  as  much  under 
his  influence  as  he  could  ever  hope  ihcm  to  be — only  insisting  on 
their  rights.  He  stayed  with  his  men,  and  he  talked  to  them,  and 
Barbot  saw  his  uifluence  growing,  and  made  his  determination 
accordingly  i  but  with  regard  to  external  matters,  Andre  Desillcs 
moved  no  more  than  the  hun\blcst  lieutenant.

What  was  this  letter  from  Adcle  which  kept  hi'tn  from  his  duty? 
Well,  i:  was  merely  a  letter  full  of  babble  and  foolishness,  written 
for  no  particular  purpose,  during  the  idleness  of  Montauban.  She 
had  the  habit>  as  many  idle  women  have,  of  writing  letters  about 
nothing;  of  keeping  up  her  correspondence.  She  made  it  a  rule 
to  write  a  letter  a  day — in  these  days  of  cheap  postage  the  rule  is 
Bvc,  or  thereabouts — and  one  d;iy  she  had  no  one  to  write  to,  and 
thought  that  she  would  write  to  Andre  at  Nanci.  She  didn't  like 
him,  but  she  might  as  well  let  him  know  how  (ine  she  had  got  to 
be,  for  he  had  always  made  a  pretence  of  thinking  her  a  silly  little 
thing. 

Her  intention  was  innocent  enough.  She  wrote  him  a  fiddle- 
laddie  letter,  describing  Montauban,  and  abusing  the  Revolution. 
But  on  looking  over  it  again,  she  said  to  herself:  "  What  will  he 
care  for  all  this  gossip.  He  will  only  laugh  at  me,  and  he  shall  not 
laugh."    So  she,  out  of  her  own  head,  put  in  this  postscript: — 

**  You  know,  uf  course,  tlut  Mathilde  is  engaged  to  Sir  Lionel 
Somers.  I'his  is  an  arrangement  which  I  regret  extremely.  It  is 
quite  impossible  that  it  can  come  to  anything,  or  even  that  it  can 
last  long.  They  arc  utterly  unsuitcd  for  one  another.  Is  »  true 
that  she  has  engaged  herself  to  him  in  mere  spile,  because  you  would 
not  say  the  necessary  words,  while  you  had  the  opportunity  so 
long  in  Kngland  \  I  chink  so.  You  are  too  precise,  Andre ;  get 
tortge  and  go  back  to  Kngland  and  try  again — if  you  think  it  worth 
trying." 

**  As  wicked  a  little  lie  as  ever  was  told !  "  says  the  better  informed 
reader.  Yet  it  had  the  effect  of  p.iralysing  Andre,  by  making  him. 
turn  over  in  his  mind,  "'  Is  it  true?  is  it  false  I  It  should  be  true 
if  anyone  else  had  said  it."  And  so  he  stood  hy  his  men  and  talked  to 
them,  while  the  wild  fierce  storm  of  misunderstanding  raged  outside. 
And  the  men  listened  to  him.  For  there  was  a  brightness  in  his  eyes, 
and  a  briskness  in  his  carriage,  which  told  among  the  young  men, 
and  will  tcU  among  young  men  until  love  is  dead.  *^The  captain  has 
good  news  of  Mademoiselle,"  they  said  among  one  another.  Who 
Mademoiselle  was  they  knew  not  ;  but  with  their  keen  French 
intellects  they  knew  whence  came  that  light  in  his  eyes.  ''La  hdx, 
Opilainc  ! "  was  their  cry  tojiim ;  and  he  answered,  "You  shall 
have  it." 

This  miserable,  disgraceful  business  over,  he  would  go  to  England, 
and  once  more,  and  for  the  last  time,  see  how  matters  stood.     And

he  was  dreaming  about  Sheepsdcn,  about  how  he  would  come-! 
round  the  corner  of  the  old  screen  and  confroni  Mathildc,  when 
Captain  Peltier  came  hurriedly  in,  and  aroused  him. 

"  De»illcs,  for  God's  sake  get  to  your  men,  and  keep  them  qutct. 
BouiUe  is  within  a  mile  of  the  gates." 

*'  Do  you  meaji  to  say  he  is  advancing  ?  "  said  Andre,  a]l  abroad 
for  a  moment. 

*'He  is  A^r^,'*  said  Peltier.  "Arc  you  mad?  You  to  whom 
we  trusted  so  much.  Have  you  not  heard  the  ^c/nVij/f?  Do  you 
not  know  that  Malscignc  and  Dcnouc  have  been  sent  to  him  as  he 
ordered,  and  that  he  refuses  to  treat  with  our  men  as  being  rebels? 
Do  you  know  this  ?  " 

**  I  have  done  my  regimental  duties,  and  was  resting,"  said  Andre. 

**  Sleeping,  you  mean,"  said  Peltier.  "  What  were  you  dreaming 
about }  " 

*' I  was  dreaming  of  Shccpsdcn,"  said  Andre.  *' But  I  wJU 
come." 

"  Of  Shecpiden  ?  "  said  Peltier.     "  What  is  that  ?  " 

"The  place  where  I  would  be,"  said  Andre  Desilles;  "but  I 
will  eome  with  you,  and  sec  what  I  can  do.  I  think  my  men  will 
be  quiet." 

He  caught  up  his  sword,  and  ran  with  Peltier  to  the  Gate  Stain- 
ville  ;  all  the  furious  puzzled  crowd  gave  way  for  him.  He  under- 
stood the  situation  little  better  than  they  did. 

The  Gate  dc  Stainville  is  a  large  triumphal  arch,  very  like  the 
Marble  Arch  at  Hyde  Park,  but  of  inferior  pretensions.  On  the- 
town  side,  from  which  Andre  and  Peltier  advanced,  there  wa»  a. 
great  and  confused  gathering.  There  were  National  Guards,  women 
and  children,  soldiers  of  the  Regiment  du  Roi,  ajid  of  the  other  two 
regiments.  Sergeant  Barbot,  and  worse  than  .illj  an  eighteen- pound 
cannon,  loaded  with  grapr  shot.  On  the  other  side  of  the  Gate  was 
Bouille,  who,  having  sent  in  hisuitimatum^  was  advancing.  A  Swiss 
of  the  Chateau  Vieujt  was  advancing  towards  the  cannon,  flickering 
the  linstock  to  .ind  fro  in  his  hand  to  make  it  burn  up. 

*'  I  am  awakened  too  late,"  cried  Andre  Dcbilles,  leaping  forward 
and  hurling  the  tali  Swiss  with  the  glowing  fuse  heavily  on  to  the 
ground.  "  My  friends,  listen  !  "  he  shouted,  standing  between  the 
cannon  and  the  crowd.  **  These  men  who  come  arc  your  friends, 
are  your  brothers.  They  arc  sent  by  the  National  Assembly. 
Regiment  of  the  King,  arc  you  going  to  disgrace  yourselves  thus  ?

There  was  a  low,  furious  growling  at  these  words.  Peltier, 
Enjolras,  and  Cassaignac,  men  who  were  his  comrades,  and  who 
loved  him,  threw  themselves  upon  him,  atid  drugged  him  from  the 
cannon-,  but  he  broke  from  them,  and  stood  now  between  the  deadly 
mouth  of  the  gun  and  the  advance  guard  oF  Bouillc. 

Scarcely  any  one  telling  the  siory  of  the  Revolution  has  passed  by 
due  solitary  figure  in  front  of  the  camion — that  solitary  5gure  in  the 
white  uniform,  which  should  live  for  ever  in  the  memories  of  men. 
He  stood  alone  between  them  all,  with  his  arms  stretched  out,  like 
a  tail  white  cross,  under  the  shadow  of  the  gate,  as  if  to  catch  the 
deadly  mitrailtt  from  the  cannon;  and  some  heard  him  say,  "  Yes- 
terday I  had  a  new  life  given  me,  and  I  will  give  ic  to-day  for 
France.  It  is  well  that  one  man  should  die  for  the  people.  Listen/*~ 
he  shouted  in  a  voice  clear  and  loud  as  a  trumpet  j  **  if  it  is  only 
for  one  moment,  listen  " 

Who  among  the  sons  of  Cain,  ciirscd  of  God,  did  that?  Barbot? 
if  not  by  his  lurid,  by  his  instigation.  There  were  four  reports  of 
musketry,  and  Andre  Desilles,  standing  there  like  a  great  white  cross, 
with  outspread  arms,  sank  on  his  knees  and  bowed  his  head  in  death.* 

Tn  the  horrible  confusion  and  slaughter  which  followed  in  one 
instant,  Peltier,  Enjolras,  and  Cassaignac  got  hts  body,  and  carried 
it  into  a  ncigbbounng  house,  l^hcy  noticed  that  the  face  of  the  dead 
man  was  very  quiet  and  calm.  Knjolras  said,  "  He  had  good  news 
from  his  lady-love,  for  he  told  mc  as  much.  Thou  Peltier  must 
break  it  to  her,"  Peltier  said,  "  I  do  not  know  who  she  is,  but  I 
believe  it  is  one  of  D'Isigny's  daughters."  Cassaignac  said, "  Which 
of  them,  for  1  know  them  both }  and  one  of  them  has  marred  Louis 
de  Valogncs,  and  the  other  is  a  cripple.     He  would  not  love  cither

TOWERS  AND  TEMPLES  OF  ANCIENT 
IRELAND." 

T  would  seem  from  the  publication  of  tliis  very  remarkable 
v-ork  that  we  have  made  a  nearer  approach  to  the  solution 
of  a  problem  which  lias  long  puzzled  the  antiiiuaricii  of 
Ireland.  The  present  is  an  age  of  discover)'.  The  source 
of  the  Nile,  which,  in  the  language  of  HoracCj  had  so 
long  "  concealed  its  fountains,"  was  for  some  time  "  settled,"  according 
to  llie  famous  tulegrani,  but  by  recent  explorations  has  been,  unsettled 
again.  So  with  the  Round  Towers  of  Ireland.  Dr.  Tetrie's  "  Essay," 
so  long  supposed  to  be  conclusive  as  to  tlie  Chrislian  origin  of  these 
mysterious  structures,  Is,  to  say  the  least  of  it,  '"unsettled"  by  the 
revelations  of  the  work  tiow  before  us.  A  private  gentleman,  Mr. 
Marcus  Keane,  has  in  the  intenaU  snatched  from  his  dait)'  occupations, 
conferred  on  archsologists  an  amount  of  obligation  which  cannot  fail 
to  be  appreciated,  although  we  may  hcsiute  before  adopting  the  novel- 
ties of  his  theory. 

Mr.  Keane  in  his  Preface  thus  siatCfi  what  led  him  to  the  inquiry,  the 
results  of  which  are  now  presented  lo  the  readers  of  lliis  vcr)'  interesting 
volume.  "  Having  from  my  childhood  taken  an  Interest  in  Irish 
antiquities,  1  was  led  in  ihe  lonrse  of  my  studies  to  fonn  opinions  not 
in  accordance  wilh  any  of  llie  commonly  received  theories;  :mtl  the 
result  has  been  the  following  work,  now  respectfully  submitted  lo  the 
public  as  a  contribution  to  the  eluridaiion  of  certain  problems  in  Irish 
history  anil  archa-olog)-,  which  have  never  l>ecn  satisfaclorily  solved." 
And  in  his  Inlroduciory  Remarks  he  says : — '*  The  fa\'oiirite  theory 
rcspcctine  our  Round  Towers,  and  their  contemporary  architectural 
jcmains,  is,  that  they  belong  to  the  Christian  era  of  Ireland.    My  object

arguments  as  to  the  age  of  other  churches,  slating  that  the  a^c  of  tliat 
church  is  "  definitely  fixed  by  the  most  satisfactory  historical  cWdeiice." 
To  this  allegation  Mr.  Keane  objccLs,  and  shows  that  Dr.  Petrie 
biinsetf  elsewhere  candidly  admits  that  the  Iri-slx  "word  'cunndach,' 
which  is  used  by  the  annalists  to  express  the  erection  or  foundation  of  this 
church,  docs  not  literally  bear  tliat  signification,  but  rather  a  restoration 
Of  covering  of  the  building."  That  this  is  the  true  meaning  of  the 
word  all  Irish  scholars  arc  aware.  It  Ls  the  word  appttcd  to  the  covering 
of  the  Gospels  of  St.  Molalsc,  as  showTi  by  Miss  Stokes  in  her  paper 
read  before  the  Society  of  Antiquaries  al  their  meeting  of  the  a4th  of 
November,  1867.  Mr.  Keane  reasons  from  Dr.  Fetrie's  acknowledg- 
ment that  the  mistake  (if  it  be  so),  which  the  annalists  made  in  using  a

word  literally  meaning  a  rcstoraiion  or  covering,  to  express  the  erection 
or  foundation  of  this  church,  destroys  altogether  the  weight  of  Dr. 
Petrie's  "  most  satisfactory  historical  evidence  "  as  to  the  age  of 
Cormac's  Chapel,  and  with  it  removes  the  elaborate  superstructure  of 
onJcncc  as  to  the  age  of  other  churches  grounded  upon  tl)is  sandy 
foundation,  combined  with  a  comparison  of  arcliitccturi  details.  Mr. 
Kcane  denies  that  the  erection  or  foundation  of  any  building  can  be 
expressed  by  the  word  "  cumdach,"  and  insists  tJiat  Cormac's  Chapel 
is  but  one  out  of  the  many  stone-roofed  churches  still  remaining  iu 
Ireland,  all  of  which,  as  well  as  the  round  towers  and  ancient  crosses, 
he  has  no  doubt  were  erected  by  the  early  Scythian  or  Cuthite  inhabi- 
tants of  Ireland.  His  prools,  he  states,  consist  of  evidence — ist.  That 
the  Celtic  Irish  who  preceded  the  Enghsh,  cannot  have  been  the 
architects  of  tJiese  beautiful  biuldiii^s  and  sculptured  crosses ;  2nd.  That 
the  Knglish  since  the  Conquest  in  1172,  cannot  have  built  Ihem; 
3rd.  That  Ireland  was,  up  to  a  thousand  years  before  Christ,  inha- 
bited l)y  a  Cuthite  race,  celebrated  for  their  skill  in  the  arls,  parti- 
cularly in  that  of  building ;  and  4th.  'Iliat  Irish  topognn>liy,  and  yet 
extant  names,  prove  tlie  identity  of  most  of  the  celebrated  Irish  saints 
of  antiquitj- — the  reputed  founders  of  these  buildings — with  the  l>eathen 
divinities  of  Canaan  and  India.  And  here  we  would  observe  that  as 
the  term  "Cuthile"  ii,  probably,  new  to  many  readers,  it  would  be 
well  that  ihey  should  turn  to  the  chapter  at  page  i04,  headed  "  The 
Cuthites,  the  Scythian  Empire,"  as  affording  the  key  to  the  whole  work. 
We  may  htra',  however,  mention  that  the  name  Cuthite  was  applied  to 
the  descend.ints  of  Gush,  the  son  of  Ham,  and  father  of  Nimrod. 

That  the  Celtic  Irish  were  not  the  buildera  of  the  towers  and  sculp- 


DooTwnr,  AUtriun,  llalf.    <4c«  p.  Ul.) 


tured  crosses,  Mr.  Keane  conceives  to  be  pro\-cd  by  the  fact  that,  up 
to  the  13th  century,  the  building  material  used  by  them  was  timber, 
and  that  they  had  no  to*-ns  or  cities  in  those  early  ages — their  royal 
residences  having,  up  to  the  lime  of  Hcnr>'  II.,  been  constructed  of

no  prooC  If  then  they  were  built  neither  by  die  Celts  who  preceded

an  identity  of  principle  in  their  construction  with  similar  structures  in

Greece,  EUniria,  Asia,  and  America,  goes  far  to  support  the  position 
that  heathen  not  Christian  worsliip  vt-as  the  object  of  their  erection. 
In  proof  of  this  position,  Mr.  Keane.  in  his  chapter  headed  "Anciait 
Irish  Architecture  compared  with  Cyclopean  Remains,"  brings  forward 
several  instances  of  identity  of  construction  between  the  Irish  and  the 
foreign  buildings.  \o  one  can  fail  to  be  struck  with  the  similarity  of 
style  exhibited  in  ancient  Irish  arcliitecture  to  that  of  the  Cyclopean 
remains  of  Greece,  Italy,  and  Peru.  Kot  only  is  the  character  of  the 
mason-work  the  same  in  many  instances,  but,  combined  wiltt  it,  there 
is  the  striking  peculiarity  of  inclining  jambs  of  doorways,  which  is  ilie 
most  lemArkable  feature  in  what  is  called  Cyclopean  architecture, 
Mr.  Keane'fl  work  supplies  us  with  many  iUustratioos  of  irish  doorways

exliibiiing  this  feature,  of  which  that  of  Tomgrancy  Church   in  the 
county  Clare  is  a  gooci  example. 

He  tells  us  where  others  are  to  be  found  throughout  Ireland,  and 
notices  altogether  about  seventy  specimens.  He  tomjjares  these  with 
Cyclopean  doorways  in  Greece  and  Italy,  of  ivhich  a  doorway  at 
Alatrium.  Italy,  may  be  taken  as  an  example.  Mr.  KcAiie  presses  Uie 
conclusion  llut  this  similarity  of  construction  cannot  have  been  acci- 
dental, but  that  the  builders  of  the  Round  'iowers  and  stone-roofed 
churches  of  Ireland  belonged  to  a  race  coyiiate  ivitli  those  who  have 
left  behind  them  the  Cyclopean  strucliues  of  Greece  and  Italy.  And  he 
asks,  "  U'hat  was  there  lo  induce  the  use  of  Cyclopean  architecture  in  tlie 
Sth  century  in  Ireland  alone,  and  in  no  other  country  of  iiurope  ?  Wliy 
should  the  Noniuns  of  the  12th  centur)-  ha%'e  chosen,  almost  invariably, 
sites  associated  witli  5th  or  Odi  century  sainiJi  (or  heatlien  deities)  for 
their  buildings!  And  why  should  they,  in  the  uth  centuiy,  have  re- 
lapsed into  the  Cyclopean  peculiarity  of  sloping  jambs,  which  never  was 
in  use  in  the  real  Norman  ardiiteclure  of  England  or  France?" 

Mr.  Keane  appeals  lo  the  history  of  Ireland,  civil  and  ecclesiastical, 
as  confinning  the  conclusions  which  he  has  based  on  similarity  of  archi- 
tecture. In  the  names  of  Irish  .s^iints — tlie  reputed  founders  of  ancient 
towers  and  temples — he  finds  the  names  of  <Iivinilies  worshipped  by  the 
Cyclopeans  or  Cuthitcs  of  antiquity,  to  whom  are  ascribed  the  buihiings 
roerred  to  in  Greece  and  Italy ;  and  surely,  if  those  names  are  not 
actually  i<lentica!,  there  is  a  similarity  which,  lo  say  the  least,  is  very 
remarkable. 

In  the  names  of  Sl  Bcod  and  St.  Mochudce,  we  have  those  of  the 
Hindoo  divinities  Boodh  and  Mahody  ;  in  the  names  of  St,  Cronan,  St. 
Ciaran,  .ind  Sr.  Ncssan,  we  trace  those  of  the  Centaurs,  Cronos, 
Chiron,  and  Ncssus.  Mr.  Ke.ine  identifies  St.  Molach,  St  Dagon,  and 
St.  Cainan,  with  Moloch,  I>ngon,  and  Canaan,  the  divinities  and 
patriarchs  of  the  Canaanilcs.  He  compares  the  name  of  St,  Mach'ssa 
with  tluit  of  the  Cuthite  divinity,  Melissa.  There  is  also  an  Irish  Saint 
Satan  !  But  we  cannot  dwell  upon  this  part  of  the  subject,  as  the  worlc 
itself  must  be  read  that  the  full  force  of  the  arguments  may  be  appre- 
ciated. The  author  further  strengthens  his  positions  by  pointing  out 
the  consistency  of  hi.s  conclusion  respecting  hagiology  and  architecture 
with  wliat  may  be  gleaned  ou  the  subject  from  hislorj-.  He  traces 
several  notices  of  the  expulsion  of  the  Cutliites  or  Scythians  from  their 
original  settlements  in  the  East,  showing  that  Ihcy  correspond  in  many 
important  particulars  with  the  accounts  given  in  ancient  Irish  history  of 
U)e  progress  of  the  Scydiians  before  they  anivcd  at  their  final  destination 
ill  the  "Green  Island." 

The  woodaits  (pp.  157,  159)  representing  the  doorways  of  a  ruined 
church  at  Rahcn,  in  King's  County,  and  of  Ttmahoe  Round  Tower 
in  the  Queen's  County,  are  examples  of  Irish  round-headed  doorways 
e.xhibitirg  the  peculiarity  of  sloping  jambs.  The  similarity  which 
round-headed  doorways  and  ornamental  specimens  of  Irish  ruins  exhibit 
to  Norman  buildings  of  England  and  France,  has  led  to  the  opinion, 
hitherto  generally  received,  that  the  Irish  ruins  belong  lo  the  Norman 
age.  Mr.  Kcanc's  objections  to  this  opinion  arc  deserving  of  serious 
attention.     He  presents  to  view  many  points  of  contrast  between  the 


lS6S.]        Ttfwers  and  Tcmfiks  of  Ancient  Ireland.       159 

Irish  and  the  Norman  styles — points  which,  in  his  opinion,  indicate  a 
%'asl  difference  of  age  rather  than  such  variety  of  taste  as  might  be 
expected  between  t)ie  works  of  neighbouring  nations  of  the  same  age. 
The  Irish  ornamented  doorways  have  sloping  janiljs  like  those  Of 
C>'clopean  architecture,  and  the  few  perfect  specimens  that  remain  prove

conclusively  that  they  were  constructed  without  any  provisioD  for  the 
hanging  of  doors.  The  I  rish  windows  of  this  style  are  very  narrow, 
having  indiiung  side^,  and  being  without  provision  for  glass  or  frame, 
whereas  the  reil  Norman  churches  arc  in  these  features  unlike  the 
Jlish,  being  similar  to  Gothic  cathedrals  as  they  exist  at  the  present 
day ;  the  doorways  of  real  Norman  churciies  have  parallel  sides,  an<l 
suitable  preparations  are  made  for  hinges,  and  the  windows  arc 
numerous  and  large,  with  the  ordinar)'  provisions  for  glass.  The  sugges- 
tions made  by  Mr.  Keane  are  likely  to  raise  the  question  as  to  the  origin 
of  Norman  arcliitecture  itself.  Mr.  John  Henr)'  Parker,  F.S..^.,  a  high 
authority  on  such  subjects,  says,  "  the  architecture  of  a  counlTy  cannot 
be  understood  without  a  knowledge  of  its  history ; "  and  applying  this 
hint  to  Nonnan  architecture,  we  are  puzzled  lo  know  what  could  have 
led  the  Normans  to  adopt  that  peculiar  style  of  ornament  still  associated 
witli  their  name.  They  did  not  settle  down  in  Normandy  -until  the  loth 
century,  and  they  were  then  heathen*,  not  Christians.  Their  first  Duke, 
Rotlo,  was  baptized  in  the  year  911,  and  being  so  reconciled  to  the 
King  of  France  and  tlic  Pope,  they  soon  after  began  to  build  churches,

"Antiquities,"  according  to  tradition,  "to  have  been  devoted  to  the 
worship  of  the  great  luminary  of  heaven  tinder  his  Gaelic  name  Balenus, 
a  title  probably  derived  from  the  Hebrew  Baal,  and  the  Assyrian  Bctus." 
These  facts  suggest  the  probability  that  Nomwn  architecture  itself  had 
its  origin  in  ruined  temples  of  the  Cuthites  which  existed  in  Normandy 
and  England,  as  well  as  in  Ireiand,  from  a  ]xrriod  of  remote  antiquity.     ^H 

Not  the  least  interesting  portion  of  the  work  now  before  us  is'th«^^| 
chapter  on  Ancient  Irish  Crosses.  "  Those,"  says  Mr.  Keane,  "  who 
are  not  well  informed  as  to  the  sculptured  details  of  ancient  heathen 
temples  in  India,  Eg>-pt,  and  Central  i'Vmcrica,  naturally  regard  the 
eusteoce  of  a  cross,  wherever  they  find  one,  as  conclusive  evidence  of 
a  dale  within  the  Christian  era.  This  conclusion  does  not  at  all  follow  : 
on  the  cootnuj'.  there  is  abundant  evidence  of  the  veneration  entertained^— 
for  the  cross  in  the  most  remote  ages  of  Paganism."  ^H 

This  veneration  the  author  accounts  for  on  the  hypothesis  that  laiger^^ 
revelations  of  Cod's  future  dealings  with  the  world,  ilian  are  recorded  in 
ihe  Book  of  Genesi-s,  were  given  to  the  patriarchal  saints,  Noah  and  his 
predeceasors ;  and  that  these,  entrusted  to  man  without  a  written  record, 
became  corrupted  into  the  myths  associated  with  ihe  names  of  Vishnu, 
Budh,  Hercules,  Apollo,  and  so  forth.  St.  Augustine  had  a  similar  idea, 
for  we  find  him  saying,  "What  is  now  called  the  Christian  religion  has 
existed  among  the  ancients,  and  was  not  absent  from  the  beginning  of 
the  human  race,  until  Christ  came  iu  the  Uesli,  from  which  time  the 
true  religion  which  existed  already  began  to  be  calletl  Christian."'  Mr. 
Kcanc  cmleavours  to  show  that  this  true  religion  of  the  ancients — 
derived  of  course  from  traditional  prophecj-  and  revelations  not  recorded 
in  Scripture — formed  the  basis  of  the  myths  of  the  earliest  heathen 
mythology.  The  reader  will  have  to  weigh  the  force  of  his  arguments, 
and  in  the  work  itself  he  will  find  ample  references  to  the  authorities 
on  which  the  theory  is  based.  With  such  a  ni.iss  of  evidence  in  proof 
of  the  veneration  in  which  the  cross  was  held,  and  the  jjrimeval 
tradition  of  the  Crucifixion  itself,  it  is  no  wonder,  Mr.  Keane  says,  th.it 
crosses  should  bo  found  in  Ireland,  to  which  Chriiirianily  cannot  lay 
claim,  and  whicli  an  examination  of  Mr.  Henry  O'Neill's  work  on 
Ancient  Irish  Crosses  wil!  prove  to  be  essentially  pagan.  We  give  above  an 
illustration  of  the  Cross  of  Killamcry,  county  Kilkenny,  as  an  example 
of  a  ver>- perfect  specimen.  Mr.  Ke.ine's  view  seems  strengthened  by 
the  heaUieiiish  character  of  Irish  sculptures,  h  panel  on  the  Cross  of 
Ketls,  county  Mcith,  represents  four  persons  on  their  knees  in  the  act 
of  worshipping  a  fish.  'ITiis  our  author  maintains  not  to  be  an  emblem 
of  the  Christi.in  religion,  but  a  relic  of  the  worship  of  the  god  Dagon, 
or  Derceto,  the  Fish-god  ofArkite  mytholog)- — Ihc  same  .is  tlie  Irish 
Mermaid-Saint,  .ind  the  Indian  Vishnu  in  his  Matsya  Avatar,  He  refers 
to  legends  respecting  each  of  these  to  pnave  their  connection  with 
ancient  Arkile  worship,  and  suppUes  us  with  the  illustrations  annexed. 

Among  the  numerous  sculptures  on  Irish  crosses  and  temples  wc  shall 
notice  a  few  which  are  of  frequent  occuircoce.  One  device  represents 
a  shepherd  willi  his  right  hand  thrust  into  the  mouth  of  a  wolf.  This, 
Mr.  Kcanc  interprets  as  representing  an  ancient  Cuthite  tradition  of 
'  the  incarnation  of  the  Sun  as  a  shepherd — Nmwod  having  had  (accord- 
ing to  Bcrosus)  the  title  of  shepherd.    The  ancient  Germans,  preserving

which  that  from  the  Cross  of  Kells  is  an  example.

refer  the  reader  to  the  work  itself  for  Mr.  Kcane's  interpretation,  only 
adding,  thai  a  similar  device  appears  among  those  which  Mr.  Turner,  jn 
his  '*  Antiquities  of  Normandy,"  supposes  to  represent  scenes  of  Northern 
Mythology,  and  the  battle  between  the  followers  of  .-Kneaa  and  the 
Harpies,  mentioned  in  the  vKneid  of  Virgil. 

.\  third  design  which  abounds  on  Irish  crosses,  represents  what  is 
commonly  supposed  to  be  the  Crucifixion  scene  ;  but  Mr.  Kcanc  is  of 
opinion  that  it  dots  not  represent  the  Scripture  account  of  that  scene, 
but  some  other  account  derived  from  traditional  prophciT.  His  argu- 
ments on  the  subject  arc  new,  and  if  sustained,  will  prove  very  interest-

with  the  idea  Uiat  the  device  was  derived  froTii  the  Scripture  account 
of  that  event.  The  peculiarities  arc  tlicse — that  the  legs  are  fastened 
with  cords  at  the  ankles  instead  of  with  naiU,  aud  thnt  the  anus  incline

too  mucK  space  and  time ;  we  therefore  con-

to  tiie  attention  of  our  readers,  aa  containing  a 
quantity  of  curious  and  interesting  infonmtioa 
*^iio  r^  "r^""  Hut  \shile  domg  so  we  would  by  no  means  be 
understood  to  give  an  unqualified  assent  to  the 
tlieory  propounded,  or  to  the  arguments  l)y  which  it  is  supported.  The 
writers  views  are  in  many  respects  novel,  and  coiitrar>-  lo  the  opinions 
long  entertained  by  arch.-co!oKists  of  eminent  ahiUties  and  extensive  in-

of  this  class,  but  also  defects  which  have  escaped  our  notice  may  possibly 
be  discovered  and  exhibited  to  view.  The  work  is  only  upon  its  trial,  and 
Uiercfore  to  pass  sentence  on  its  theories  at  this  stage  of  the  discussion 
would  be  premature.  Uut  wliatcver  verdict  may  be  ultimately  pronounced

speak  for  himself.  In  his  Preface,  after  stating  that  having  been 
very  kindly  allowed  to  sec  extracts  from  her  Majesty's  Journal, 
relating  to  excursions  in  the  Highlands  of  Scotland,  and  having 
expressed  the  interest  which  he  felt  in  them,  he  says,  "  It  then 
occurred  to  her  Mtijcscy  that  these  extracts,  referring,  as  they  did, 
to  some  of  the  happiest  days  of  her  life,  rnight  be  made  into  a  book, 
to  be  printed  privately,  for  presentation  to  members  of  the  royal 
^mily  and  her  Majesty's  intimate  friends  ;  cspcci.-illy  to  those  who 
had  accompanied  and  attended  her  in  these  tours."  And,  accord- 
ingly, a  limited  number  of  copies  was  printed  and  so  distributed. 
It  was  then  suggested  to  the  Queen,  tlut  it  would  be  well  to  place 
the  volume  within  the  reach  of  her  Majesty's  subjects,  who  would, 
no  doubt,  derive  from  it  pleasure  similar  tb  that  which  it  had  afforded 
to  those  who  had  been  already  favoured  by  the  possession  of  it ; 
and  the  Queen  eventually  consented  to  its  publicatiuri.  The 
editor's  task  was  manitl-stly  confined  to  the  selection  of  the  passages 
to  be  published,  and  possibly  to  the  correction  of  such  slips  of  the 
pen  as  will  occur  in  journals,  by  whomsoever  kept,  when  written 
for  private  satisfaction  and  perusal  alone.  And  thus  wc  have  in 
these  **  Leaves  "  a  genuine  addition  to  the  list  of  the  royal  authors  of 
England. 

The  remarks  which  we  made  in  our  notice  of  the  "  Hlarly 
Years  of  the  Prince  Consort "  upon  the  unique  position  of  the 
sovereign  of  our  country,  and -upon  the  individual  and  peculiar 
domestic  life  of  the  Queen,  are  illustrated  in  every  page  of  this 
book.  It  is,  in  &ct,  a  drama  of  home  occupations  and  amusements 
in  themselves  simple,  health-giving,  and  good  ;  but  having  always 
in  the  b.ickground  the  pomp  and  circumstances  of  royalty,  from 
amidst  which  occasionally  illustrious  personages  come  forth  and  take 
part  in  the  action  of  the  scene.  Wc  question  if  the  journals  of

common 
human  nature,  in  spite  of  reluctance  or  resistance,  **  make  the  whole 
woild  kin."     Certainly,  every  heart  will  respond  to  the  tenderness 
and  truth  of  the  dedicatory  lines :  "  To  the  dear  memory  of  hi, 
who  made   the   life  of  the  writer  bright  and  happy,  these  simpl 
records  arc  lovingly  and  gratefully  inscribed." 

These  records  extend  with  some  continuity  from  1848  to  1861, 
but  they  are  preceded  by  notices  of  earlier  visits  to  Scotland,  com- 
mencing in  1842,  and  are  followed  by  notes  of  tour$  in  England  and 
Ireland,  &c.,  between  1849  ""^  1861.     A  few  quotations  in  con*|^| 
firmatian  of  the  editor's  statement,  that  it  is  a  book  "  matnly  con-  " 
tinecl  to  the  natural  expressions  of  a  mind  rejoicing  in  the  beauties 
of  natiu'e,  and  throwing  itself,  with  a  delight  rendered  keener  by  i 
rarity  of  its  opportunities,  into  the  enjoyment  of  a  life  removed,  f( 
the  moment,  from  the  pressure  uf  public  cares,"  arc  all  that  our  space 
permits  us.     And  it  would  be  a  fraud  upon  our  readers  to  extend 
them.

fact  that  she  possessed  the  cultivated  niJiid  of  an  artist.  And  here 
we  may  notice  her  Majesty's  common  habit  of"  illustrating  the  sub-

which  have  been  excellently  fac-similed  in  ihis  book,  and  display  no

The  following  are  extracts  from  the  "  Journal  *'  of  the  visit  to 
Ireland : — 

"  We  rowed  firrt  roand  innisfailtM  Maud  and  come  way  up  the  I.Moer  L^r.  The

Another  most  Agreeable  characteristic  of  these  *•*•  Leaves"  is  the 
exhibition  they  aft'urd  of  the  deeply-seated  "  domestic  "  feelings  oi 
the  Queen.     Wc  arc  admitted,  as  far  as  it  is  possible  by  means  o: 
a  book,  into  the  private   family  life  of  the  Suvrrcigii  \  wc  hear 
Prince  Consort,  and  the  Royal  children  spoken  of  as  "  Bertie  "  and 
"  Vicky,"  &c.,  those  names  of  endearment,  the  worth  of  which  c 
family  knows. 

The  members  of  the  household,  wherever  named,  appear 
friends  rather  than  officials ;  and  the  domestics  (both  in 
*' Journal"  and  in  the  notes)  receive  that  cordial  courtesy  and  con- 
fidence wholly  devoid  of  ostentatious  condescension,  to  the  decay  of 
which,  amongst  almost  all  the  ranks  of  common  society,  may  be 
in  good  p.irt  attributed  the  complaints  which  we  hear  now-a-days 
of  the  independence  of  that  class. 

The  editor  fLirther  notes  as  amongsit  the  merits  of  this  work  *'  the 
simplicity  of  diction  throughout ;"  "the  perfect  faichfulac^s  of 
narration  which  is  one  of  its  chief  characteristics;  "  "and  also  the 
exceeding  kindliness  of  feeling,  the  gratitude  even,  with  which  the 
Royal  tourists  recognise  any  attention  paid  to  them,  or  any  mani 
fcstation  of  the  cordial  attachment  felt  towards  them,  by  any  of  he, 
Majesty's  subjects,  from  the  highest  to  the  humblest,  whom  thejr! 
happen  to  meet  with  in  the  course  of  their  journeys." 

For,  as  the  editor  remarks  :  "  It  Is  evident  that  her  Majesty  never 
takes  for  granted  the  services  and  attentions  which  are  rendered  to 
her,  and  which  we  all  know  would  be  rendered  to  her  from  dutiful 
respect  and  regard  ;  but  views  thtm  as  especial  kindnesses  shown  to 
herself,  and  to  which  she  makes  no  claim  whatever  ftom  her  exalted 
position  as  a  Sovcicign," 

We  cannot  conclude  without  expressing  our  loyal  and  heartfelt 
gratitude  to  the  Queen  for  admitting  us  thus  unreservedly  to  a  par- 
ticipation in  the  unpretending  ctijoymcnts  of  her  home  when  removed 
from  the  prcssiiig  cares  of  royalty,  and  in  the  feelings  which  once 
made  her  own  life  so  blessed.  And  we  cannot  but  believe  that  the 
publication  of  this  book  will  morj  deeply  endear  her  to  the  hearts  of 
her  people.

'clock  in  the 


of  the  uth  or  March,  t8i 


evening 
the  marriage  by  proxy  of  ihe  Emperor  Napoleon  with  ihc 
Archduchess  Marie  Louise,  was  celchratcii  at  Vienna,  in 
the  church  of  the  Augustins  (the  same  church  in  which 
the  Archduchess  Marie  Atitoinctic  had  been  married  by  proxy  on 
the  19th  of  April,  1770),  and  on  the  13th,  Marie  Louise,  being 
then  styled  Empress,  left  Vienna  in  a  grand  procession  which  reached 
Strasbourg  on  the  22nd,  on  the  way  to  ComplC-gne,  at  which  latter 
place  the  Emperor,  sunoutidcd  by  his  family  and  court,  impatiently 
awaited  her  arrival.  His  sister  Caroline,  Queen  of  Naples,"  and  wife 
of  Murat,  had  gone  from  Paris  to  receive  the  new  Empress  on  the 
frontiers  of  the  Confederation  of  the  Rhine.  Every  day  did  Napoleon 
write  to  his  bride,  whom  as  yet  he  had  never  seen,  during  her 
progress  to  Compicgne ;  and  it  ts  from  the  French  authenticated 
account  of  the  emissary  who  brought  the  first  reply  to  these  letters 
from  Marie  Louise,  that  the  following  is  quoted  : — 

*'  When  I  delivered  the  first  letter  of  Marie  Louise  to  Napoleon, 
he  unsealed  it  with  such  eager  haste  that  its  cover,  escaping  from 
his  hands,  fell  to  the  ground.  Intently  engaged  in  deciphering 
the  contents,  he  stepped  aside ;  his  eyes  devoured  the  bten- 
hiureuifi  lignes^  and  he  thought  not  of  the  envehppe ;  which, 
being  speedily  picked  up,  became  an  object  of  much  curiosity  in  the 
salon,  where  everybody  was  as  anxious  to  judge  of  the  new  Empress 
from  her  handwriting  as  though  it  hagl  been  her  portrait  ....  Every 
day  the  Emperor's  manifest  impatience  increased  ;  he  scarcely  took 
any  nourishment,  and  even  less  rest  than  usual,  during  the  fort- 
night Marie  Louise  was  journeying  tow.irds  him.  He  himself  had 
so  traced  her  route  that  hour  by  hour  he  knew  to  what  point  of 
it  she  had  attained  ;  arid  at  last,  on  the  day  fixed  for  her  arrival 
at  Rheims,  the  Emperor,  after  having  given  necessary  orders  m 
Marshal  Bessicres,  set  out  from  Compiegne,  accompanied  by  Murat, 
to  meet  her  on  the  road.  He  followed  the  route  of  Soissons  and 
Rheims,  travelling  without  escort  in  a  private  carriage,  and  preceded 
only  by  one  courier,  until  he  met  the  Empress's  carriage,  which  his

courier  stopped  without  saying  a  word.  Instantly  did  his  Majesty 
then  alight  from  his  own  carriage,  and  darting  forward  towards  that 
conuiniiig  the  young  princess,  he  himself  opened  the  daor  and 
lightly  leapt  into  it,  regardless  of  the  fact  thai  its  steps  were  not 
let  down.  Marie  Louise,  suspecting  nothing,  looked  on  him  with 
amazement,  until  the  Queen  of  Naples,  who  accompanied  her, 
said :  '  Madame,  it  is  the  Emperor.*  And  all  three  together,  they 
arrived  !it  Compicgne.'' 

*' Marshal  Bcssicrcs  had  meantime  mounted  the  whole  of  the' 
cavalry  then  at  Compiegne,  and  this  troop,  as  also  the  Emperor's 
aides-de-camp  and  generals,  tuolc  the  Soissons  Road,  and  posted 
themselves  at  the  entrance  of  the  same  bridge,  where  Louis  XV. 
had  formerly  stood  to  welcome  Madame  the  Dauphiness,  the 
courageous  daughter  of  Maria  Theresa,  the  unfortunate  Marie 
Antoinette." 

It  is  curious  to  compare  this  eye-witness  account  of  the  first 
arrival  of  Marie  Louise  with  that  other  cvc-witncss  testimony,  quoted 
in  a  previous  page,  concerning  the  arrival  of  Marie  Antoinette. 

The  observant  courtier  of  Napoleon  at  Compiegne,  thus  con- 
tinues :  "  Ic  was  almost  night  when  the  Kmprcss,  travelling  very  fast, 
arrived  at  the  chateau,  so  that  people  outside  it  could  not  sec  her; 
but  directly  she  placed  her  foot  on  ground  and  stepped  within  the 
palace  walls,  she  was  welcomed  at  the  foot  of  the  grand  staircase 
by  the  Emperor's  mother  and  the  other  members  of  his  family,  who 
stood  there  with  all  the  court  and  the  ministers  to  receive  her.  .  .  . 
Every  face  was  animated  with  joy.  .  .  .  There  wras  no  assembly, 
no  salon  circle,  that  night.  Everybody,  after  the  Empress  had  been 
conducted  to  her  apartments,  seemed  overwhelmed  with  fatigue, 
and  retired  about  nijie  o'clock  in  the  evening — all,  except  the 
Emperor,  who  went,  came,  and  gave  ten  orders  at  a  time,  all  dk  \ 
which  he  would  countermand  in  the  course  of  five  minutes.  .  .  . 
The  next  day  was  an  arduous  one  for  the  young  sovereign,  inasmuch 
as  personages  with  whom  as  yet  she  was  scarcely  acquainted,  pre- 
sented to  her  a  crowd  of  people,  not  one  of  whom  she  knew  at  all. 
The    Emperor    himself    presented    hj»   aides-de-camp,    who    were

extremely  ft^ictered  by  this  nuric  of  ^vour.  Madame  la  Ducbessc 
de  Montebello  presented  the  ladies  of  the  palace  and  others  appointed 
to  the  service  of  honour.  .  .  .  The  day  following  this  presentation, 
the  Emperor  started  for  Saint  Cloud  with  the  Empress,  passing 
through  the  Bois  dc  Boulogne,  hc.^  but  not  entering  Paris.  .  .  , 
A  prodigious  crowd  was  assembled  at  Saint  Cloud  to  receive  their 
majesties,  and  foremost  amongst  the  princesses  of  the  imperial 
family  was  the  Vicc-Quecri  of  Italy,  wife  of  Prince  Eugene,  she 
never  having  before  visited  Paris.  Then  came  the  grand  dignitaries 
of  the  empire,  the  marshals  of  France,  and  the  senators  and  coun- 
sellors of  state." 

On  the  next  day  the  civil  contract  of  marriage  was  signed  in  the 
great  gallery  of  the  Chateau  of  Saint  Cloud,''  and  "  at  half-past  nine

surrounded  by  the  marshals  on  horseback,  prt-cedcd  by  the  imperial 
guard,  and  followed  by  a  hundred  carriages  conveying  the  imperial 
family  and  court,  entered  Paris  by  way  of  the  Arc  dc  Pflloilc,  the 
Champs  tlysccs,  and  the  Place  dc  la  Concorde."  •* 

On  that  morning  of  her  entry  into  Paris  did  Marie  Louise  think 
of  her  kinswoman,  IVlaHc  Antoinette,  who  had  su^cred  martyrdom 
on  that  last-named  spot  ?  Did  many  amongst  the  vast  crowds  lining 
the  way  to  sec  the  young  Empress  pass,  think  of  the  awful  scenes 
formerly  caused  by  popular  caprice  and  fury  to  be  enacted  in  the 
centre  of  that  place  not  many  years  before  known  by  the  name  of 
the  Revolution  \  Impossible  now  to  say,  but  certain  it  is  that  for 
the  passing  hour.  Napoleon's  Austrian  bride  thus  rapturously  greeted, 
was  fair  to  look  upon.  Only  nineteen  years  of  age  was  Nlarie 
Louise ;  her  figure,  though  giriish,  was  well  developed  ;  her  hair, 
fiiir  and  luxuriant ;  her  eyes  blue,  but  animated  \  her  hands,  ex- 
quisite. Crowned  with  white  roses,  she  still  smiles  down  at  the 
beholder  from  her  portrait  at  Versailles  ;  and  with  her  bridal  diadem 
placed  fresh  on  her  brow,  that  morning  of  her  entrance  into  Paris, 
charmingly  visible  was  she  to  all  the  people  through  the  glass  panels 
of  the  arched  triumphal  chariot  in  which,  advancing  towards  the 
Tuilerics,  she  was  seated  by  the  side  of  the  hero  who  had  given 
France  glory,  and  who  thus  first  presented  to  his  people  the  bride

who,  it  was  hoped,  would  perpetuate  his  Jyiusty.  Ailortd  by  the 
people  of  Paris  was  [he  cx-£mprcss  Josephine,  but  not  the  less 
.itlmiitfd  f[>r  ilm  momt-nt  was  the  Kmpress  Marie  Louise.  Enthu- 
siastic shouts  greeted  \\cv  as  she  passed  into  the  historic  precincts 
of  the  Tuilcrics  by  the  garden  entrance  ;  and  before  the  close  of  that 
same  day  her  marriage  with  Napoleon  was  celebrated  according  to 
ecclesiastical  rites,  a  nuptial  altar  having  been  erected  in  the  grand 
saloon  of  the  Tuilcrics.  The  well  known  long  picture  gallcr)-  con- 
necting the  Tuilcrics  with  the  Lnuvrc,  was  lined  on  cnch  side  and  ^j 
from  one  end  to  the  other  with  a  triple  row  of  ladies,  and  the  hauu^^k 
heurgfois'u  of  Paris,  full  dressed;  and  along  that  gallery  *•  Napoleon,  ■ 
leading  the  Empress  by  the  hand,  and  followed  by  his  family,  walked 
to  the  grand  salon,  where,  amidst  a  scene  dazzling  with  gold  and 
light,  he  rcccivi'd  the  nuptial  benediction."  A  banquet  took  place 
that  night  in  the  theatre  nf  the  Turleries. 

Long  afterwards,  when  recalling  those  days  just  described. 
Napoleon  declared  to  O'Meara  at  St.  Helena  :  "My  marriage  with 
Marie  Louise  produced  no  change  in  me.  I  was  precisely  the  same 
as  before.  Never  was  woman  more  astonished  than  Marie  Louise 
was  after  her  marriage,  when  she  observed  the  few  precautions  that 
I  took  to  insure  my  safety  ai^ainst  any  attacks  on  my  life.  *  \Vhy/ 
said  she  with  astonishment,  'you  do  not  take  half  so  many  pre- 
cautions as  my  father,  who  has  nothing  to  fear.*  'I  am»'  con* 
tinucd  Napoleon,  '  too  much  of  a  ^talist  {trap  fataliste)  to  take  any 
precautions  against  assassination.  When  X  was  in  Paris,  1  used  to 
go  out  and  intermingle  with  the  populace  without  my  guards,  and 
receive  petitions.  1  was  frequently  so  closely  surrounded  by  the 
people  that  I  could  scarcely  move."  And,  again,  reflecting  on  the 
past,  the  Emperor  said  :  **  Political  motives  induced  me  to  divorce 
my  first  wife,  whom  I  tenderly  loved.  She,  fortunately  for  herself, 
died  in  time  to  prevent  her  witnessing  the  last  of  my  misfortunes."' 

Elsewhere  iit  the  course  of  these  palace  sketches  it  has  been  lold 
how  Josephine  died  at  her  residence,  Malmaison,  and  Marie  Louise 
had  fled  from  the  Tuilcrics  at  the  time  of  Napoleon's  first  abdication, 
consequent  on  the  Bourbon  restoration  in  1814,;  and  on  the  29th 
day  of  April  in  that  same  year  Louis  XVIII.  arrived  at  Compicgnc,

d'Angoulemr,  daughter  and  only  surviving  child  of  ihc  manyrcd 
Louis  XVI.  and  Marie  Antoinette. 

The  position  of  the  Duchcssc  d'Angoulcmc  at  Complegnc  was  the 
more  remarkable  at  that  time  of  the  Restoration  3S  she  was  not  only 
a  cousin  of  the  fugitive  Marie  Louise,  and  therefore  kimwuman  to 
the  K!tng  of  Rome,  infant  son  of  Napoleon;  hut,  during  some 
few  years  of  her  own  earlier  life,  she  had  been  resident  at  the  Court 
ofVieima,  as  the  guest  of  the  Emperor  Francis,  who,  though  subae- 
^^uently  the  ally  of  the  Bourbons,  was  none  the  less  fiithcr-in-law  to 
Napoleon  L,  and  grandfather  of  that  Emperor's  son. 

Bom  at  Versailles  in  1778,  the  Duchcsse  d'Angoiilemc — by  right 
of  birth  called  **  Madame  RoyaJe" — was,  in  1792,  imprisoned  with 
her  parents  in  the  Temple,  after  the  storming  of  the  Tuileries  by 
the  revolutionary  mob.  Her  saintly  aunt,  Madame  Elizabeth,  and 
her  little  brother,  the  Dauphin,  were  also  her  fellow  captives.  She 
tainted  at  the  feet  of  her  father,  Louis  XVL,  the  night  before  his 
execution;  and  not  long  after  his  death,  she,  sttll  a  prisoner,  was 
successively  separated  from  her  mother,  her  aunt,  and  brother.  On 
(he  rcaffbid  perished  her  mother  and  aunt,  whilst  her  brother  was 
pining  to  death,  and  did  die  in  a  prison  chamber  not  ftr  from  her 
own,  but  beyond  reach  of  her  voice  or  aid. 

For  nearly  two  years  this  orphan  princess  then  remained  a  solitary 
captive  in  the  Temple,  until  on  the  night  of  the  19th  Dec,  1795 — 
the  anniversary  of  her  birth — she  was  released  by  order  of  the 
executive  Directory,  and,  after  being  scctctly  conveyed  through  the 
streets  of  Paris,  was  conducted  by  an  armed  guard  beyond  the 
frontiers  of  France,  and  delivered  into  the  hands  of  Francis,  Emperor 
of  Austria,  her  kinsman,  and  the  father  of  Marie  Louise,  that  last- 
named  princess  being  then  a  child.  For  four  years  the  daughter  of 
Marie  Antoinette  resided  at  the  Court  of  Vienna,  and  then  she  was 
married  to  her  cousin,  the  pious  Due  d'Angouleme,  elder  sun  of  the 
Comte  d'Artois.  'I'hc  later  years  of  her  long  exile  were  spent  in 
England,  with  her  uncle,  Louis  XVIII.;  and  in  1814,  she,  his 
adopted  daughter,  accompanied  him  bacic  to  France,  .ind  arrived  at 
Coinpiegne. 

Not  since  her  childhood  had  this  princess  been  at  Compicgne ; 
and  now,  when  ga/.ing  round  her  at  th.it  chateau,  to  which  Napt^Icon 
had  made  splendid  architectural  additions,  she  was  a  middle-aged 
woman.  Early  sorrows  and  solitary  captivity  in  youih  had  long 
habitually  made  her  grave  and  silent.     As  a  childless  wife,  her  life 


was  not  renewed  in  that  of  others.  Her  personal  resemblance  to  her 
mother  was  observed  and  commented  on  in  the  addresses  with  which 
she  was  welcomed  back  from  exile  with  her  uncle;  but  it  was  the 
resemblance  of  marble  to  flesh  and  blood.  The  lofty  plume  of  white 
feathers,  and  the  long  white  train  she  wore  on  state  occasions  during 
the  period  of  her  tirst  return  (white  being  a  Bourbon  emblem) 
were  in  harmony  with  the  dignity  of  her  figure,  features,  and  sutue-! 
like  composure;  but  her  heart  still  palpiuted  with  human  affection^ 
as  was  evinced  by  the  silent  tears  she  shed  when  any  allusion  was, 
made  to  her  martyred  parents. 

At  Compicgnc  she  could  not  forget  how  her  mother,  as  a  bride, 
had  first  arrived  there  from  Vienna,  and  been  received  with  all  the 
ceremonial  recorded  in  a  previous  page. 

The  Duchesse  d'Angouleme  was  afterwards  beheld  by  Madame 
d'Abrantes''  wearing  diamonds  which,  at  CompJigne,  were  presented 
to  her  mother  by  Louis  XV. ^  as  already  recorded ;  and  notwithstand-  . 
ing  the  fact  of  Madame  la  Duchesse  d'Abrantes  being  afBliated  t<>^| 
the  first  French  Empire,  as  the  widow  of  one  of  its  many  brave^^^ 
soldiers,  she  was  struck  by  admiration  when  regarding  the  diughtcrof 
Marie  Antoinette,  and  declares,  "  That  princess  looked  sad  as  her 
eyes  rested  on  the  crowd  that  gazed  at  her  with  envy  ;  for  it  is  not 
always  easy  for  people  to  understand  how  a  heart  may  be  heavy 
when  beating  beneath  a  brocaded  bodice  laden  with  gems."  And 
then,  luoking  again  at  the  royal  Duchesse  d'Angouleme,  she 
exclaims :  "  Cette  femme  vraiment  belle  ....  c'est  une  des  grandes 
figures  de  notre  cpoque!'''  But  Louis  XVIIL,  uncle  to  this 
princess  !  When,  after  twenty  years*  exile,  he  returned  to  Com- 
picgne,  much  changed  in  appearance  was  he  since  that  May  day

long  ago,   when   he  helped  to  welcome   Miirie   Antoinette   there. 
About  sixty  years  of  age   when  called   back   to  France,  he  was 
extremely  corpulent  and  gouty^  walking  with  difficulty  and  leaning 
on  a  cane.      Red  vclvec  gaiters  encased  his  infirm  legs,  and  the  other 
parts  of  his  costume,  consisting  of  a  blue  coat  with  ihc  epaulettes  of 
a  French  general,  aiKl  a  round  English  hat,  looked  strange  to  hi$ 
French  subjects,  who  had  flocked  to  Compiegne  to  welcome  and  to 
worship  him.      But   royalists,  dreading   poisibly  the  effect  of  his 
personal    appearance  on   French   hero-worshippers,    had    [leralded 
Louts  XVilL,  not  as  a  hero,  but  as  **  the  Father  "  of  his  people  { 
and  in  this  character  there  was  nothing  to  disappoint  the  crowd,  for 
the  aged   king's   head  was    finely   formed,   and    his   countenance, 
illumined  by  brightly  intelligent  eyes,  benignant.     His  literary  tastes 
were  traditional  in  France,  he  having  pedantically  displ-iycd  them  in  his 
youth  at  Versailles.  Not  that  he  then,  or  afterwards,  dared  en  his  posi- 
tion as  a  prince  of  the  blood  to  profess  himself  an  admirer  of  Voltaire, 
Ruusscau,   or  the  Eruyilopt'diitts ;    but,    by  dint   of   pamphlet    aiid 
madrigal  writing,  he  had  made  himself  a  leader^of  minor  litterateurs^ 
from  whose  "  new  lights  "  the  eighteenth  century  Court  of  France 
had  nothing  to  fear.     It  will  be  remembered,  however,  that  when 
this  royal    author    in    old    age    returned  to  France,  his  great  work 
was  still  to  be  produced — that  Chaner,  of  which,  bdieving  ia  his 
own  divine  right  of  authorship,  he  afterwards  said,  "In  it  consists 
my  real  claim  to  glory.     It  is  not  an  improvised  Constitution,  but 
the  result  of  my  conscientious  study  of  alE  the  Constitutions  given  to 
France  since   1789."     On  the  clauses  of  that  ill-fated  Charter  the 
King  was  Seemingly  already  meditating  when   he  arrived  at  Com* 
ptegne  in  1814  ;  for,  '*  although  listening  with  courteous  attention  to 
political  opinions  expressed  by  distinguished  statesmen,  ciicouraged 
by  him  to  speak  in  his  presence,  his  matmer  was  that  of  a  man  who 
has  previously  and  inflexibly  formed  his  own  opinions," 

His  brother,  the  Comtcd'Artois  (afterwards  Charles  X,],  had  already 
ingraDatcd  himself  wiih  the  people  of  Paris  when  Louis  XVIIL 
reached  Compicgnc,  but  he  hastened  from  the  capital  to  welcome  his 
Majesty  there.  Some  survivors  of  the  Revolution,  who  had  known 
the  Comte  d'Artois  as  the  gayest  of  gay  princes  at  the  Court  of 
his  sister-in-law,  Marie  Antoinette,  and  who  for  nearly  a  quarter  of 
a  century  had  lived  but  in  recollections  of  the  past,  were  surprised 
to  see  that  prince  changed  by  time  when,  in  1814,  he  again  prcsente  1 
himself  before  them,  although,  compared  with  the  King,  he  was  still

haJidsome,  active,  and  graceful.  Like  his  royal  brotSer,  he  was  a 
widower ;  but,  unlike  the  King,  the  Comte  d'Artois  had  from  exile 
brought  back,  with  him  a  priestly  canHdaiit,  who>  however  excellenc 
in  private  character,  was  not  the  best  political  adviser  to  the  heir  of 
3  thranc  which  could  only  kc  sustained  on  a  constitutional  basis. 
This  priest,  the  Abbe  dc  Latil,  was  soon  observed  to  be  ambitious 
of  being  something  in  this  world  more  than  a  priest;  but,  as  said 
the  observant  iMadame  de  Cayla  (coniidantc  of  Louis  XVJH.,  and 
who  had  helped  by  secret  political  agency  to  bring  about  the  Resto- 
ration), "  it  is  not  always  possible  out  of  the  material  frtnn  which 
a  cardinal  is  made  to  mould  a  diplomatist.  To  become  a  great 
minlstcrof  the  Crown,  something  else  is  requisite  than  for  a  shorn 
head  to  wear  the  hat  of  Richelieu."  Too  soon  was  it  notoriout-, 
that  Monsieur  the  Comtc  d'Artois,  gay  prince  of  the  past,  had 
become  in  some  sort  an  ascetic  ;  and  also  that  during  his  exile  he 
had  loved  and  lost  Madame  de  Polastron,  by  whom  on  her  deathbed 
he  had  been  cunjuted  henceforth  to  confide  in  the  Abbe  do  Latil. 

With  Louis  X  VIIL  nnd  his  brother  at  Compicgnc  also  rc-appcarcd 
the  two  Conde's,  father  and  grandfather  of  the  late  Due  d'Enghien. 
How  could  a  new  generation  recognise  in  these  two  Condc  prince* 
the  heroes  of  tradition  ?  The  elder  of  them  was  '*  an  august  being, 
still  beaming  with  goodness  and  graciousness,  but  aged  by  sorrow 
and  time  almost  beyond  his  own  powers  of  memory,"  occasionally 
absent  in  mind,  but  still  strong  in  his  abhorrence  of  Talleyrand,  tt» 
whom  he  attributed  many  of  the  misfortunes  which  had  befallen  the 
Bourbons.  The  younger  Condc — Due  dc  Bourbon  Condc,  as  he 
Was  called — seemed  to  shrink  from  the  acclamations  that  greeted 
him.  He  had  long  been  a  recluse  ',  hunting  was  the  chief  pastime 
in  which  he  still  indulged;  and  after  being  exhibited  by  liis  royal 
cousin,  Louis  XVIIL,  at  the  time  of  his  return  to  Compiegne,  he 
quickly  rcrrcattrd  from  the  Court.  As  to  the  Duchcssc  de  Bourbon, 
agfd,  small,  mild,  but  ecstatic— that  princess  who  in  the  days  of  her 
youth  had  dwelt  at  the  Elysce,  and  quarrelled  with  the  Comie 
d'Artois  at  a  masked  ball '' — a  strange,  sad  relic  was  she  of  former 
limes  for  Louis  XVIIL  to  bring  back  with  him  to  Compiegnc, 
where,  ;is  recorded  in  a  previous  page  of  this  present  paper,  she  too 
had,  in  1770,  been  one  of  the  first  privileged  by  royal  blood  to  kiss 
Marie  Antoinette  on  her  arrival  there.

Memories  of  Comptkpte. 


The  two  sons  of  the  Comtc  d'Artois  (the  Due  d'Angouleme  and 
the  Due  de  Bern)  had,  some  weeks  before  the  arrival  of  Louis 
XVIII.  at  Compicgne,  entered  France:  one  by  way  of  Brittany 
and  Normandy,  and  the  other  by  way  of  Bordeaux  and  ToulousF* 
In  April  they  had  been  received  at  the  gates  of  Paris;  and  the  Due 
dc  Bern,  being  the  most  vivacious,  was  the  most  popular  prince  of 
the  Bourbon  family,  but  he  was  in  Paris,  having,  like  M.  dc  Blacas, 
the  scientific  friend  and  adviser  of  Louis  XVIII.,  the  conipanion  of 
his  exile,  and  without  whom  no  after  picture  of  that  monarch's  court 
could  be  complete,  remained  there  to  awaic  the  coming  of  the  King 
from  Com piegne.'  A  curious  spectacle  must  the  Bourbon  King  and 
his  family  have  presented  in  the  large  and  Infty  salons  of  that  chateau 
when  there  re-assembled,  or  rather  resuscitated,  as  objects  of  worship 
to  a  people  long  accustomed  to  embody  the  idea  of  glory  In  a  crowned 
rvlcr,  and  to  regard  women  on  the  throne  of  France  as  impersonations 
of  grace  or  beauty. 

Even  the  Duchessed'Angoulcme,  with  her  air  of  sorrow  and  proud 
reserve,  already  described,  was  not  atii'active  at  first  sight,  either  to 
those  who  remembered  the  youthful  charms  of  her  kinswoman, 
Marie  Louise,  on  the  first  arrival  of  that  Empress  at  Complcgnc,  or 
to  the  many  who  had  never  ceased  to  regard  Josephine  with  love  and 
admiration.  The  dress  and  demeanour  of  the  Duchessc  d'Ang.-ju- 
leme  were  quite  foreign  to  the  eyes  and  feelings  of  French  people  in 
those  days,  when  a  marked  difference  was  still  to  be  seen  between 
most  things  French  and  English ;  and  even  elder  observers,  who 
remembered  her  fascinating  mother  as  an  object  of  adoration,  were 
disap(K>inted,  for  the  moment,  to  find  that  in  manner  this  grave 
princess  but  little  resembled  hex. 

At  Compiegne  Talleyrand,  the  arch  diplomatist,  who,  according 
to  Napoleon,  sought  every  opportunity  to  betray,  presented  himself 
before  Louis  XVIII.,  who  there  received  him  "with  extreme 
courtesy  j  thanked  him  for  his  services  like  a  Prince  who  fell  tha't 
he  owed  everything  to  his  own  claims  ;  showed  him  that  those  who 
returned  from  exile  were  not,  after  all,  tho^c  who  had  displayed  least 
judgment  or  penetration,  and  then  passed  quickly  from  (his  subject 
U  that  of  the  existing  state  of  affairs."  Wiih  what  result  would  be 
quite  beyond  the  purport  of  this  present  paper  to  attempt  to  icll,

although  it  is  scarcely  possible  to  doubt  that  Talleyrand  had  advised 
Napoleon  to  do  cver>'thing  which  would  injure  the  Bourbons,  and 
that,  ill  the  disdainful  words  of  the  Emperor  at  St.  Helena,  "the 
jriumph  of  Talleyrand  was  the  triumph  of  immorality" — political. 
The  Emperor  of  Russia,  one  of  the  allies  then  in  Paris,  sent  Count 
Pozzo  di  Borgo  to  the  King  \  but  that  diplomatist  not  being  able  to 
come  to  any  definite  political  understanding  with  his  Majesty,  Alex- 
ander himscJr  arrived  at  Compicgnc — an  event  which  caused  much 
excitement  there,  not  only  because  of  the  *'  tableau  it  presented  of  an 
aged  KJng,  just  returned  from  exile,  embracing  a  young  Emperor 
who  had  helped  to  restore  him  to  the  throne  of  his  ancestors,  but 
because  the  young  Emperor  Aluxaiidcr  was  popular  for  his  own  sake 
in  Paris,  where  the  elevation  of  his  character  had  signally  displayed 
itself." 

This  Russian  Emperor  was  the  friend  of  Josephine  and  of  her 
accomplished  daujjhtcr  Hortciise.  His  respect,  admiration,  and  sym- 
pathy for  them  formed  a  sentiment  too  chivalrously  bright  to  be 
Sullied  by  political  prfjudice — the  feverish  breath  of  the  hour. 

A  few  days  later,  and  at  Compii:gne  it  was  known  that  true,  until 
her  death,  had  Alexander  been  to  the  cause  of  Josephine  i  fur,  just 
as  Louis  XVIII.  entered  Paris  she  died  at  Malmaison,  the  beloved 
name  of  Bonaparte  still  lingering  on  her  lips.'' 

Paris,  at  that  time,  was  in  a  state  of  intense  political  excitement  '■, 
but  crowds  (locked  thence  to  Malmaison,  there  tu  bewail  the  loss  of 
"  the  good  Empress,"  and  to  scatter  flowers  on  her  bier  j  for  multi- 
tudes of  all  classes  were  mournfully  eager  to  pay  a  tribute  of  grateful 
respect  to  her  memory — a  memory  still  unfadcd,  and  which  helps  to 
endear  her  grandson,  Napoleon  III.,  to  France. 

It  was  in  the  month  of  May,  1814,  that  Josephine  died  ;  and  in 
the  month  of  May,  1867,  Malmaison  was  restored  for  purposes  of

THE    BOMTHON    FLAGON. 


[N  the  i6th  and  17th  centuries,  there  lived  in  Cornwall 
an  ancient  and  powerful  family,  the  De  Bonithons  of 
Bonichon.  Tonkin,  the  local  historian,  mentions  one 
member  of  the  family  as  a  man  of  great  repute  in  the 
reign  of  Henry  V.  The  Bonithons  were  seated  in  the  Lizard 
District,  in  the  parish  of  Cury,  a  blcalc  wild  tract  on  the  serpentine 
formation,  where  the  sea  washes  the  lonely  shores  of  Gunwalloc,  and 
in  this  remote  district  they  flourished  for  many  generations  in  great 
repute,  exercising  a  wide  influence,  both  social  and  political, 
throughout  the  length  and  breadth  of  the  land. 

Meanwhile  several  branches  had  issued  from  the  parent  stock;  the 
most  opulent  of  which,  through  marriage  with  a  co-heiress,  became 
possessed  of  Carclcw,  in  Milor;  and  Carew  "  the  historian  thus  notices 
ihc  circumstance : — "  Carclcw  hath,  after  the  Cornwall  manner,  well- 
nigh  metamorphosed  the  name  of  Master  Bonithon  into  his  own." 
He  had  evidently  greatly  raised  the  fortunes  of  his  family  by  this 
marriage.    Richard  Bonithon,  the  last  of  the  Carclew  branch,  died  in

1697;  and  at  the  decease  cf  his  daughter,  childless,  the  estate  passed 
by  purchase  into  the  hands  of  Mr.  Lemon,  the  ancestor  of  the  present 
Sir  Charles  Lcnion,  Bart. 

But  it  is  with  the  elder  bmttch  of  the  Ouniihons  that  wc  have  at 
present  to  do.  Here  also  a  Richard  was  the  last  of  his  race.  He 
was  laid  in  his  grave  in  1720,  and  the  name  of  BoDithon  was  thence? 
forth  blotted  out  from  the  record  of  human  life. 

And  it  would  doubtless  have  remained  in  the  oblivion  to  which  it 
had  already  been  consigned,  but  that  about  twelve  years  ago,  at  the 
death  of  an  ancient  maiden  lady,  who  resided  near  St.  Aiistel,  there 
was  discovered  among  her  effects  a  curious  old  jug  of  stoneware, 
which  had  no  doubt  been  "laid  up  in  lavender"  for  years,  and  pre- 
served in  her  family  as  a  precious  hcir-loom.  In  all  probability  she 
was  the  last  of  her  race  \  at  ail  events  her  property  came  into  the 
market,  and  the  family  relic  passed  into  other  hands. 

The  cup,  of  which  a  drawing  is  here  givL-n,  is  of  the  period  of  Queen 
Elizabeth,  and  it  is  said  to  be  unique  of  its  kind  \  the  date,  1598,  is 
in  raised  figures  over  the  central  compartment. 

It  is  of  brown  stoneware,  probably  of  Dutch  manufacture  1  and 
on  the  body  of  the  cup  are  three  oval  medallions  hllcd  with  armorial 
devices.  On  the  centra!  medallion  the  double  imperial  eagle  is  dis- 
played, surmounted  by  a  crown  ;  the  shield  having,  as  supporters  on 
either  side,  coronctted  lions  in  arabesque;  the  neck  band  is  ornamented 
with  scroll  work  in  relief,  and  lower  down  on  the  shoulders  of  the 
jug  are  scroll  patterns  in  compartments.  A  label  is  attached  to  the 
handle  of  the  ilagon  with  the  following  inscription : — 

"  Date  of  this  jug  1598. 

"It  was  used  at  the  coronation  banquet  of  James  I.  and  VI.  of  Scot- 
land, by  one  of  the  Bonithon  famdy  who  officiated  at  the  banquet." 

This  curious  historical  relic  is  in  excellent  preservation,  and  has 
evidently  been  carefully  treasured  by  its  former  possessor*,  throughout 
a  long  period,  during  which  eleven  kings  and  queens  occupied  the 
throne  of  England. 

Since  the  jug  has  come  into  the  hands  of  its  present  possessor,  a 
search  ha.s  been  m.ide  into  county  history  and  old  records;  and  some 
interesting  particulars  have  been  brought  10  light  relating  ta  the 
ancient  family  of  the  Bonithons,  who  though  seated  at  an  early 
period  In  so  remote  a  district  as  that  of  the  Lixard,  still  at  times  figured 
conspicuously  in  the  political  events  which  occurred  duiing  the 
troublous  days  of  the  Stuart  dynasty.

Amongst  the  Sutc  Papers  of  James  I.  it  is  recorded  that  a  grant 
was  made  to  Nicholas  Foriesque  and  Michael  Vivian  of  6o/.  out  of 
the  goods  of  John  Bonithon,  deceased,  which  were  forfeited  by 
outhwry^  his  death  having  occurred  jujt  prior  to  the  grant,  viz.» 
June,  1605.  This  may  possibly  be  the  hero  of  the  drinking-cup, 
present  at  the  coronation  of  James  I.,  and  afterwards  in  trouble. 

In  1603,  and  again  in  1604,  the  Compirotlcrship  of  the  Stannaries, 


«iife 


in  Cornwall  and  Devon,  was  granted  to  Richard  Bonithoii  \  and 
again,  in  1633,  Richard  Bonlthon  was  .ippointcd  keeper  of  the  gaol 
at  Lostwiihicl. 

A  little  later  "  Rostviner  Bonithon  w.-is  shcrifF  of  Cornwall,  in 
the  17th  of  James  I.,  a.d.  1619,"  and  In  r6z5,aJohn  Bonithon  was

In  the  Sloane  MSS.  occurs  the  following  paragraph,  extracted 
from  a  news  letter  of  the  day,  Feb.  lUth,  1687,  "Mr.  Bonithon, 
steward  for  Westminster,  has  been  displaced  in  favour  of  Mr.  Owen,"

Boiiithon,  married  Frances,  the  daughter  of  Sir  John  Parker,  ol 
London.  This  Charles  Bonithon  shot  himself  in  a  fit  of  madness, 
in  his  own  house  in  London,  leaving  two  sons,  Richard  and  John, 
and  a  daughter.  Richard,  the  eldest  son,  a  very  ingenious  gentle-  ^H 
man,  was  called  to  the  bar,  but  being  tainted  likewise  with  his  ^^ 
Other's  distemper,  first  sold  portions  of  his  estate  in  parcels,  and  ac 
last  this  Barton  **  (Bonithon  in  Cury}  which  had  been  so  Ion;;  in  his 
family ;  and  then,  to  complete  the  tragedy — for  he  was  never  easy 
in  his  mind  after  this  sale — firs:  of  all  set  fire  to  his  chambers  in 
Lincoln's  Inn,  burned  all  his  papers  and  bonds,  &c.,  and  then 
stabbed  himself  with  his  sword,  but  not  effectually,  but  he  threw 
himself  out  of  the  window,  and  died  on  the  spot,  1720."  His 
brother  John,  who  was  educated  in  King's  College,  Cambridge, 
became  an  eminent  physician,  but  died  before  Richard,  s.  p.,  and 
thus  ended  the  race  of  Bonichon  of  Bonithon. 

From  these  extracts  it  would  appear  that  the  hero  of  the  flagon, 
most  probably  a  John  Bonithon,  and  his  descendants,  were  residing 
periodically  in  London  during  nwny  successive  reigns,  and  chat  they 
occupied  important  official  positions  under  Government,  from  time 
to  time,  with  varied  fortunes,  until  the  tragical  death  of  the  last 
Richard  Bonithon,  in  1720. 

No  doubt  other  interesting  particulars  of  this  once  powerful 
fianiily  might  be  obtained  by  further  research  into  the  old  historical 
records  of  the  period,  but  we  have  already  tjuotcd  enough  to  establish 
the  authenticity  of  the  "Coronation  Cup,"  which  it  has  been  our 
purpose  here  to  illustrate  and  describe.  The  Bonithon  Flagon  is 
now  in  the  collection  of  a  gentleman  at  Teignmouth,  Devonshire, 
and  is  much  admired  and  appreciated  by  atchxologists,  not  only  on 
account  of  its  historical  interest,  but  for  its  truly  regal  appearance 
and  for  the  unique  style  of  its  ornamentation  -,  it  is,  moreover,  un- 
touched by  the  destroying  hand  of  time,  and  the  lustre  of  the  glasx 
continues  undiminished.

MIDDLE   ROW.    HOLBORN. 

IF  a]]  the  clearances  in  the  metropolis  during  last  year,  the 
removal  of  Middle  Row  \\  most  to  be  commended. 
It  had  been  an  obstructive  eyesore  of  long  standing. 
More  than  two  centuries  ago  it  was  condemned  as  a 
"mighty  hindrance."  Howel,  in  his  "  Pcrlustratioii  of  London" 
(*657)  P-  344)1  remarkSj  "Southward  of  Gray's  Inn  Lane  there  is  a 
row  of  small  houses,  which  is  a  mighty  hindrance  to  Holbom  in 
point  of  prospect,  which,  if  they  were  taken  down,  there  would  be 
from  Holborn  Conduit  to  St.  Giics's-in-the  Fields  one  of  the  fairest 
rising  streets  in  the  world."  These  obstructive  buildings  are  shown 
in  Faiihome's  "  Ichnographtc.il  Delineation  of  London  "  in  the  reign 
of  Charles  I.,  though  it  is  dated  1658.  It  has  a  curious  history,  it 
being  questionable  if  his  map  was  ever  published  until  precisely 
two  centuries  after,  when  Messrs.  Evans,  the  printscllcrs,  of  the 
Strand,  issued  a  facsimile  of  this  undoubtedly  the  rarest  view  of  old 
London,  inasmuch  as  but  two  Impressions  arc  known  to  be  in 
existence. 

Elmcs  has  well  described  Middle  Row  as  "  an  island  of  Holborn 
Bars,  opposite  the  end  of  Gmy's  Inn  Lane,  with  a  footway  behind 
them  i"  which  seemed  to  say,  with  Ovid,  "  Medio  tutissimus  ibis," 
for  the  footway  in  Holborn  was  a  perilous  strait.  This  Is  curious, 
seeing  that  the  lower  pan  of  Holborn  was  paved  four  centuries  and  a 
half  ago.  A  century  later  Stow  records  the  street  as  ill-paved; 
but  in  1533  (25  Hen.  VIH.,  c.  8),  it  was  enacted  that  "the  high 
Street  between  Holborn  Bridge  and  the  Barrs  at  the  west  end  of  the 
said  street,  shall  be  paved  on  both  sides  with  paving-stone,  at  the 
expense  of  the  tenant  in  fee-simple,  fee-tail,  or  for  life." 

It  appears  that  about  a  century  ago  the  removal  of  the  Row,  for 
the  widening  of  Holbom,  was  agitated  \  when,  in  an  application  to 
Parliament,  the  petitioners  stated  that  *^  Holborn  had  originally  been 
the  king's  highway,  that  near  that  part  there  was  a  nurket,  and  that 
persons  from  the  country  came  with  poultry,  vegetables,  Sic,  aiid 
first  had  little  standings,  which  in  process  of  time  became  sheds,  and 
gradually  grew  up  into  houses,  which  were  left  by  the  possessors  to 
their  children,  came  to  their  heirs,  &c.  i  but  as  it  was  originally  an 
encroachment,  the  nuisance  ought  to  be  removed."  For  answer  to 
these  allegations,  the  proprietors  searched  old  records  and  musty  deeds, 


i84 


Tht  Geiiihmafis  Magazine. 


[Fm 


and  found  that  they  had  proof  of  the  Row  having  been  occupied  by 
some  sort  of  tenements  near  two  hundred  years ;  but  that  not  being 
deemed  sufficient,  they  prayed  for  twelve  months  to  seek  better 
proofs.  This,  on  their  applicAtion  to  Parliament,  was  granted.  At 
the  end  of  this  time  they  had  found  nothing  further  for  their  pur- 
pose, and  applied  for  a  ye.ir  more.  This  was  also  admitted,  and  at 
the  end  of  th^t  time  the  petitioners  were  many  of  them  dead,  and 
those  who  survived,  being  tired  of  the  search,  the  inquiry  dropped, 
and  was  not  for  some  time  renewed.  This  evidence  appeared  in  the 
JHorning  Chrenule  of  Friday,  March  22,  1792.  The  obstruction 
continued  unpopular  j  for  Dr.  Hughson,  in  his  "Walks  Through 
London,"  half  a  century  ago,  has,  "  we  now  approach  the  nuisance 
called  Middle  Row." 

The  origin  of  the  sort  of  market  held  upon  the  site  of  the  Row 
may  be  explained  by  the  site.  It  was  just  outside  the  City  liberties. 
These  terminated  nt  Holborii  Bars,  which  stood  upon  the  site  of  the 
prcs;iit  3iocjk  Street.  Here  the  customs  were  payable  upon  victuals; 
for,  according  to  the  "  Liber  Albus  "  of  the  City  of  London,  1419* 
bread,  poultry,  and  the  like,  for  the  market  of  London,  were  paid  for 
at  the  Bars;  every  cxn  that  brought  corn  for  sale,  paid  one  half- 
penny ;  if  it  entered  by  way  of  Holborn,  one  penny,  the  franchise 
excepted  ;  the  curt  that  brought  nuts  or  cheese  paid  twopence  ;  and 
if  it  ejiteied  liy  Holborn,  twopence-halfpenny  ;  and  the  satnc  rate  for 
wood  or  bides. 

However,  a  centurj'  and  a  half  ago  Middle  Row  h.ad  acquired 
some  notoriety  or  fashion;  for  Stow,  in  his  "Remarks'*  (1722), 
tells  us,  "they  are  most  periwig-makers  who  live  here."  They 
kept  shop  here  until  our  own  time,  for  we  remember  rival  dealers  in 
**  bears'  grease,"  tcet  si^num  the  bears'  skins  at  the  door.  **  Forty  or 
fifty  European  bears  are  annually  slaughtered  in  London  for  their 
grease,"  said  a  writer  in  the  ^/artfrly  Review  some  years  since. 
The  article  has  now  fallen  into  disrepute ;  for  M.  Chris,  the  fashion- 
able perfumer  of  Paris,  states  that  the  bear  is  wholly  innocent  of 
contributing  to  the  making  of  "  bears*  grease  ;"  adding,  that  the  lat 
of  the  bear,  from  its  rancid  and  coarse  nature.  Is  destructive  to 
pomades  of  ail  sorts.  The  location  of  chc  wig-makers  in  Middle  ^j 
Row  may  be  traced  to  the  lawyers  in  the  Holborn  Inns  of  Court  and  ^M 
Chancery, — as  Gray's  Inn,  Staple  Inn,  and  Barnard's  Inn,  Thavies  ^» 
ajid  Fiirnival's  Inn;  besides  Scroop's  Inn  or  Serjeants  Place  before 
they   removed   to   their  inn   in  Fleet  Street.     One  of  the  latest

■of  the  **  periwig  "  cenanB  of  the  Row  was  "  a  human  hair  manu- 
facturer." 

At  the  east  end  of  Middle  Row,  In  Hulborn,  the  representatives 
■of  the  Bars  were  a  pair  ofgnnice  obelisks  bearing  the  Citv  insignia. 
Here,  not  many  years  ago,  all  vehicles  not  belonging  to  City  free- 
men were  compelled  to  stop  and  pay  the  "City  toll,"  the  yearly 
amount  of  these  tolls  being  5000/.  At  the  south-east  corner  of  the 
Row,  Sir  James  Branscomb  kept  a  lottery  office  forty  yeais.  He 
had  been  footman  to  the  Earl  uf  Gainsborough,  but  rose  in  the 
world,  and  being  elected  Shcriif  of  London  and  Middlesex  in  1S06, 
received  knighthood.  At  the  Golden  Anchor,  hard  by  the  Bars, 
lived  Dr.  Johnson  in  1748,  when  he  was  hard  at  work  upon  his 
Dictionary ;  though  his  workshop  was  in  Gough  Squatc,  Fleet 
Street,  where,  Boswell  tells  us,  "  he  had  an  upper  room  iitted  up  like 
a  counting-house  for  the  purpose,  in  which  he  gave  the  copyists 
their  several  tasks." 

The  removal  of  Middle  Row  hns  brought  out  prominently  that 
oldcn  piece  of  street  architecture,  Stiplc  Inn,  traditionally  named 
from  having  been  the  inn  or  hotel  of  the  merchants  of  the  wool 
staple,  whither  it  was  removed  from  Westminster  by  Richard  II. 
in  1378.  It  became  an  Inn  of  Chancery  in  the  reign  of  Henry  V., 
and  it  was  granted  by  Hcnr)*  VIII.  to  Gray's  Inn.  The  Holhorn 
front  is  of  the  time  of  James  I.,  and  with  it*  gables,  central  bay,  and 
its  arched  entrance,  flanked  with  terms,  is  not  unpicturcsque. 
The  staircases  in  this  front  arc  so  narrow  as  not  to  admit  two  persons 
abreast.  The  inn  consists  of  two  courts,  the  inner  one  being 
moderti.  The  hall  has  a  clock  turret,  and  had  originally  an  open 
timber  roof.  Some  of  its  armorial  window-glass  is  of  date  1500.  In 
the  garden  wc  remember  a  luxuriant  fig-trcc,  which  nearly  covered 
the  south  side  of  the  hall.  Upon  the  tcrr^ice  opposite  are  the  offices 
of  the  Taxing  Masters  in  Chancery,  completed  in  1843  (Wigg  and 
Pownall,  architects),  in  the  purest  style  uf  the  reign  of  James  I., 
with  frontispiece,  arched  entrance,  and  semicircular  oriels, — finely 
effective.  The  open  parapet  of  the  terrace,  lodge,  and  gate  leading 
to  Southampton  Buildings,  are  very  picturesque.  In  1759,  Dr.  John- 
son left  Gough  Square  for  Staple  Inn.  In  a  note  to  Miss  Norton, 
dated  March  23,  he  tells  her  that  he  had  on  that  day  removed  from 
Gough  Square,  where  he  had  resided  ten  years,  into  chambers  at 
Staple  inn.  Here  he  wrote  his  "  Idler,"  seated  in  a  three-legged 
chair,  so  scaiuily  were  his  rooms  furnished.     In  the  following  year

tlic  Doctor  removed   to  Gray's  Inn.     At  Staple  Inn,  No.  II«  in  the 

inner  court,  next  the  Taxing  Masters'  office,  Isaac  Reed  had 
chambers,  and  of  his  tenancy  Mr.  Peter  Cunningham  relaies 
in  his  **  Handbook  of  London  "  : — "  Here  (In  Reed's  chambers) 
Stcevcns  corrected  the  proof-sheets  of  his  cditiori  of  Shakspearc.  He 
U!>ed  to  leave  his  home  nt  Hainpstcad  at  one  in  the  morning,  and 
walk  to  Staple  Inn.  Reed,  who  went  to  bed  at  the  usual  hour, 
allowed  his  facetious  fellow-commentator  a  key  to  his  chambers,  so 
that  Steevens  stole  quIciEy  to  hJs  proof  sheets  without,  it  is  said, 
disturbing  the  repose  of  his  friend." 

Returning  to  Holborn  we  arc  reminded  by  the  sight  of  the  old 
Blue  Post  public-house,  eastward,  that  at  the  bej^inning  of  the 
present  century,"  the  road  was  in  the  hands  of  Mr.  Miles,  his 
pair-hursc  coach,  and  his  redoubtable  boy,  familiar  to  the  readers  oi 
Robins 's  "  Paddington,  Past  and  Present,"  and  long  the  only  ap- 
pointed agents  of  communication  between  P.Tddington  and  the  City. 
The  fares  were  2/.  and  3J.  ;  the  journey  took  more  than  three 
hours;  and  to  beguile  the  time  at  resting-places,  "-Milcs's  Boy" 
told  talcs,  and  played  upon  the  fiddle. 

Looking  across  the  road,  the  sight  of  Brook  Street  reminds  us  of 
the  sad  story  of  Chattcrton,  who  died  at  No.  39  in  the  street,  in 
the  garret.  The  room  commands  from  iis  dormer  windows  a  view 
of  St.  Paul's,  which  Mr.  Wallis  has  introduced  in  his  mastedy^ 
painting  of  the  death  of  Ch.itterton  :  this  was  a  lucky  accident  of 
the  painter,  fur  it  was  previously  believed  that  the  house  in  which 
Chatterton  dicdwas  opposite,  where  no  room  looking  into  the  street 
could  have  commanded  a  view  of  the  Metropolitan  Cathedral.  In 
Brook  Street  lived  Johnson,  the  ingenious  printer,  who  wrote  and 
printed  the  curious  history  of  printing,  entitled  *'  Typographia  ;  or, 
the  Printer's  Instructor,"  1K24..  And,  in  the  same  street,  we 
remember  to  have  Inspected,  about  the  year  j8i8,a  large  working 
model  of  a  horizontal  cylinder  printing-machine,  which  had  been 
designed  and  completed  in  a  room  of  the  King's  Bench  Prison.  At 
the  cornerof  old  Kurnival's  Inn,  Edward  Kidder,  the  famous  pastry- 
cook, who  died  En  1739,  aged  73  years,  had  one  of  his  schools,  in 
which  he  taught  young  lads  the  art  of  making  pastry.  Kidder  pub-] 
lishcd  his  receipts,  with  his  portrait  as  a  frontispiece.  In  the  square 
of  the  present  Kurnival's  Inn  is  a  statue  of  Mr.  Peto,  the  contractor, 
who  rebuilt  the  Inn  ;  he  was  the  father  of  Sir  Morton  Pclo,  by  whom 
the  statue  was  erected.

Returning  to  the  south  side  oF  Holborn,  we  step  into  Barnard's 
Inn,  where,  some  sixty  years  since,  died  in  his  chamber,  Pcicr 
Woulfe,  the  eminent  chemist  \  and  according  to  Mr.  Brindc  (who 
died  in  1IJ66,  ^cd  8 1 ),  WouIfc  was  the  last  true  behever  in  alchemy. 
He  was  a  tallj  thin  man  ;  and  his  last  moments  were  remarkable. 
In  a  long  coach  journey  hs  took  cold  \  inflammation  of  the  lungs 
followed,  but  he  strenuously  resisted  all  medical  advice.  By  his 
desire  his  laundress  shut  up  his  chambers,  and  left  him.  She 
returned  at  midnight,  when  Woulfe  was  still  alive  j  next  morning, 
however,  she  found  him  dcad^  his  countenance  was  calm  and  serene, 
and  apparently  he  had  not  moved  from  the  position  in  which  she  had 
last  seen  him.  We  received  these  paniculars  from  the  Treasurer  of 
Barnard's  Inn,  who  was  one  of  the  executors  of  Woulfe's  last  will 
and  testament.  Woulfe's  chambers  were  so  filled  with  furnaces 
and  apparatus  that  it  was  difficult  to  move  in  them.  *  Dr.  Babiogton 
lold  Mr.  Brande  that  he  once  put  down  his  hat,  and  coutd  not  find 
it  again ;  such  was  the  confusion  of  boxes,  packages,  and  parcels, 
that  lay  about  the  floor.  Woulfe's  breakfast  hour  was  four  in  the 
morning ;  such  of  his  friends  as  were  invited,  gained  entrance  by  a 
secret  signal,  knocking  a  certain  number  of  times  at  the  inner  door 
of  the  chamber.  Woulfe  had  long  vainly  searched  for  the  eltJtir, 
and  attributed  his  repeated  failure  to  the  want  of  due  preparation 
by  pious  and  charitable  acts.  Sir  Humphry  Davy  tells  us  that  he 
used  to  affix  written  prayers  and  inscriptions  of  recommendations  of 
his  processes  to  Providence.  Whenever  he  wished  to  break  an 
acquaintance,  or  felt  himself  ofTcnded,  he  resented  the  supposed 
offence  by  sending  a  present  to  the  offender,  and  never  seeing  him 
afterwards.  'I'hese  presents  sometitncs  consisted  of  an  expensive 
chemical  product  or  preparation.  He  had  a  heroic  remedy  for 
illness,  which  was  a  journey  to  Edinburgh  and  back  by  the  mail 
coach  \  and  a  cold  taken  on  one  of  these  expeditions  led  to  his 
death,  at  No.  2,  second  floor  chamber,  in  Barnard's  Inn,  in  the 
year  1805. 

To  conclude,  there  arc  other  Middle  Rows  \\\  the  metropolis 
besides  that  we  have  described.  Tottenham  Court  Road  has,  at 
its  southern  end,  an  obstruction  of  this  cl.iss — "  an  island  of  houses." 
In  Goswel!  Street  is  another;  and  on  ICnightsbridgc  Green  is 
another  Middle  Row,  described  as  "  a  medley  of  very  inferior 
houses." 

There    is   still    another    Middle    Row  —  the   block    of  houses

if  wc  mistake  not,  be  decided  on  during  the  present  year. 

The  Holborn  riddance,  undert^ikcji  by  the  Metropolitan  Board 
of  Works,  has  not  been  a  costly  improvement  (61,000/.),  considerii^ 
how  desirable  it  is  to  render  the  fiiic»  broad,  roadway  of  Holborn 
open,  more  especially  in  connection  with  the  long  needed  raising 
of  Holborn  Valley.  Now  that  the  Row  has  been  cleared  away, 
the  houSc-fronts  in  Holborn  have  a  sort  of  piebald  appearance. 
West  of  Staple  Inn  are  Xr«o  houses  of  equal  antiquity;  tlie  con- 
tirtuation  is  then  irregular ;  but  these  defecu  will,  doubtless,  here- 
after be  remedied  :  already  some  handsome  huuses  have  been  built. 
We  have  got  rid  nf  the  Row  after  a  battle  of  two  centuries:  in  the 
meantime  wc  have  lost  the  pleasant  Gray's  Inn  Lane  of  StoVs  time, 
'*  leading  to  the  fields,  towards  Htghgatc  and  E-I  amp  stead."  Jacob 
Tonson  kept  shop  *'  witliiii  Gray's  Inn  Gate,  next  Gray's  inn 
Lane : "  Tonson  was  the  second  son  of  a  barber-chirurgeon  in 
Holborn;  and  we  recollect  the  last  of  his  shop,  at  the  Gate,  where 
second-hand  books  were  sokl  until  our  time.  Holborn  was  formerly 
noted  for  its  booksellers,  one  of  whom,  if  wc  mistake  not,  kept  shop 
in  Middle  Row.

the   mighty  roar  of  sea-wav«s,  or  under  the  sunlit  ice  of  Alpine 
peaks,  but  in  a  flat,  dull  country,  beside  a  sluggish,  willowy  stream, — 
Iicrc  sprajig   to  light  the  mighty  genius  who  shall   live  when  all 
the  princes  of  his  age  have  been  buried  in  unfathomable  oblivion,        I 
and  when  the  very  language  which  he  spoke  may  have  become,  in^^ 
the  changing  ages,  the  obsolete  dialect  of  some  half-forgotten  land.      ^^ 

Of  Shakspcarc,  then,  the  most  grandly-prominent  figure  of  the 
l6th  century,  I  will  make  but  two  further  remarks:  one  respecting 
his  works,  the  olhci  respecting  his  life. 

Of  his  works  I  will  say  this,  for  it  is,  I  think,  a  point  on  whic' 
wc  need  to  dwell,  that,  setting  aside  their  grandeur  and  genius  all 
gcthcr,  they  arc  stiil   distinguished    by  their   high   and   marvelloui 
morality.     Doubtless,  you  will  find  coarseness  in  them ;    but  cooneJ 
ncss,  remember,  though  neither  to  be  admired  nor  imitated,  is  yet 
ver^'  different  thing  from  vice.  Coarseness  is  an  affair  of  the  manacnf, 
vice  is  an  affair  of  the  heart  i  coarseness  is  the  external  defect  of  an 
age,  vice  is  the  inward   rottenness  of  all  time.     In  an  age  when 
queens  thought  it  no  disgrace  to  swear  roundly  with  their  own  fair 
lips,  and  ladies  of  high  rank  wrote  and  spoke  to  each  other  in  a  style 
which  no  courteous  gentleman  could  now  repeat,  a  rare  and  occa- 
sional coarseness  cannot  be  fairly    made  a  charge  against  a  single 
writer.     Read  Beaumont  and  Fletcher,  and  M.i5singer,  and  Marlow, 
and  others  of  that  age,  who  stand  next  to  Shakspeare,  though  next 
by  an  immeasurable  interval,  and  you  will  find  plenty  to  revolt  and 
repel  an  unstained  mind  : 

"  They  stood  nrontid 
The  throne  of  Shakspeare,  viurdybut  uncltMn." 

But  Shakspeare  never  *'  clothes  impurity  with  the  garb  of  virtue ;  he 
never  injures  the  mind,  if,  now  and  then,  he  shocks  the  delicacy; 
he  never  excites  or  fiatters  the  passions,  or  shows  any  sympathy  with 
wickedness." 

"  Circ  me  the  man  tluLt  U  not  pasMon's  slaw, 

Ami  I  will  wear  him  in  my  heart's  care ;  ayci 

In  my  heart  of  hearts." 

This,  and  the  noble  hursts  of  moral  indignation  in*' Measure  for 
Measure,"  show  us  what  view  Shakspeare  took  of  sin.  When  he 
strips  bare  the  features  of  Vice,  it  is  only  that  you  may  loathe  them 
in  their  unmasked  horror.  The  sunbeam  may  shine  on  the  carrion, 
buC  it  loves  better  to  rest  on  the  violet  and  the  rose  ;  and  so  the  light 
of  Shakspcarc's  genius  may  sometimes  seem  to  fall  upon  corruption,

but  it  never  rests  there  fondly  or  even  willingly ;  it  loves  better 
to  sparkle  on  the  brow  of  maiden  virtue  and  the  gray  hairs  of  injured 
innocence, — on  the  sword  of  the  chivalrous  hero,  and  the  crown  of 
the  patriot  king. 

And  his  life  shows  the  same  noble  superiority.  Most  of  his 
fcllow-aclors  and  fcllow-tragcdians — the  Dckkcrs,  the  Randolphs, 
the  Marlows,  the  Beaumonts  and  Fletchers — lived  in  a  world  of 
passion  and  rc^'clry,  of  want  and  despair.  They  composed  loosely, 
frequented  taverns,  and  were  killed  or  wounded  in  drunken  brawls. 
The  story  of  their  lives  drags  us  into  the  jail,  and  the  gutter,  and  the 
spunging-house,  and  the  gambler's  hell.  But  with  Shakspeare  ii  was 
not  so.  In  the  despised  condition  of  a  playwright  he  lived  a  life 
simple^  dignified,  and  self-contained  \  never  losing  his  independence^ 
his  purity,  or  his  strength, — from  first  to  last  what  his  contempo- 
raries called  him,  the  gentle,  l.t.^  the  finc-hcartcd  Sliakspcarc.  And 
when,  by  manly  exertion,  he  had  secured  a  modest  competence,  he 
returned  to  the  quiet  Stratford  of  his  infancy  and  boyhood,  finding 
enough  of  mystery  and  beauty  in  the  blue  sky,  and  the  green  fields, 
and  the  willowy  river;  enough  of  sublimity  in  the  simplest  elements 
of  nature, — so  careless  of  fame  that  he  left  his  very  plays  to  drift, 
unedited  and  uncorrected,  into  their  destined  ImmoruHty,  and 
content  to  forego,  fur  the  narrow  society  of  a  country  town,  the 
hsoMX  of  nobles  and  the  brilliancy  of  wits,  the  gilded  saloons  of  St. 
James's,  and  the  merrj'  orgies  of  Blackfriars.  There  he  lived,  and 
there  he  was  buried,  in  the  aisle  of  the  church  where  his  childhood 
had  worshipped,  and  saying  in  those  memorable  words  of  his  will,  on 
which, in  connection  with  his  memory,  I  love  to  dwell,"!  commend 
my  soul  into  the  hands  uf  God  my  Creator,  hoping  and  assuredly 
believing,  through  the  merits  of  Jesus  Chrisi  my  Saviour,  to  be  made 
partaker  of  life  everlasting."  Nothing  could  be  simpler  than  his 
tomb  \  but)  in  the  epitaph  of  even  the  Puritan  Milton —

1  shall  not,  of  course,  give  you  any  specimens  of  Shakspcarc : 
first,  because  they  ought  to  be  extraordinarily  familiar  to  you  ;  and 
next,  because  I  might  as  welt  pluck  a  leaf  and  offer  it  you  as  the  I 
analogue  of  a  boundless  forest.  But,  without  apology  for  lingering  so 
long  upon  his  iiatne,  I  hasten  on  from  the  i6th  Co  the  17th  century, 
from  William  Shakspcarc,  who  died  in  1616,  to  John  Milton,  who,  | 
in_that  year,  was  a  fair  child  of  eight  years  old.  The  genius  of  Milton  i 
dominates  throughout  this  eentur)*  as  that  of  Shakspeare  throughout  1 
the  last.  It  was  the  short  and  splendid  period  of  Puritan  mastery  ^j 
interpoUtcd  between  the  Shakspeare  of  Elizabeth  and  the  Drydcn  of^H 
Charles  II.  Other  poets,  indeed,  there  were  :  there  was  the  mcta-  ^\ 
physical  school,  of  which  the  religious  earnestness  has  preserved 
Donne,  and  Quarlcs,  and  G.  Herbcrtj  and  a  few  stray  verses  ofl 
Crashaw  and  Herrick ;  there  were  Cowley,  and  Marvel,  and  Walter, 
whose  names,  indeed,  are  famous,  but  whose  verses  arc  but  little 
read ;  and  there  is  a  whole  crowd  of  Cavalier  poets  before  the  Revo-  i 
lution  and  after  the  Restoration  ;  those  before  the  Revolution,  who 
mainly  jingled  ephemeral  conceits  about  love  and  gallantry,  and 
those  after  the  Restoration,  who  have  mainly  died  out  in  the  thick 
fumes  of  their  own  corruption.  For  the  most  part  they  are  only 
known  by,  here  and  there,  a  gay  lyiic  or  fugitive  thought  which  has 
emerged  from  the  black  stream  of  oblivion.  Four  lines  of  tfOvclace— 'J 

"  Stone  walls  do  not  a  prison  nuikc, 
Xar  iron  bnrrcs  n  cnge  ; 
Miatb  InnoccDt  and  qnict  laJie

are  probably  worth  all  the  rest  of  these  cavalier  songs  put  together  \ 
and  even  these  are  from  a  lyric  which  celebrates  the  "  grcauiess, 
meekness,  majesty,  and  goodness  "  of  a  king  who,  if  he  could  have 
had  his  w.iy,  would  have  re-established  military  despotism  by  the  will 
of  Wentworth,  and  an  English  inquisition  under  the  auspices  of 
Laud. 

But  to  look  for  one  or  two  sparkling  songs  or  gallant  sentiments 
among  the  heaps  of  licentious  trash  in  which  they  lie  embedded  is  to 
seek  diamonds  on  a  dunghill.  And,  indeed,  there  are  many  reasons 
why  there  should  be  little  worth  reading  in  "vulgar  amorists," 
whom  a  modern  poet,  himself  by  no  means  too  particuUr,  hat^J 
characterised  as  "  a  herd  of  scented  fops."  ^H^

this  recking  poetry  of  the  tavern  aiid  the  court,  a  voice  comes  as 
awful  and  holy  as  though  it  were  home  by  the  breezes  of  Eden  from 
the  choirs  of  the  cherubim.  The  clatter  of  castanets  is  suddenly 
brofcen  hy  a  majestic  organ  pcal,  and  the  compllmcntar)-  strains  in 
honoui  of  girdles  and  stomachers  arc  hushed  before  a  hymn  of  chose 
ethereal  virtues,  with  whose 

"  Loom  gariand^  thick  thrown  ol^  Ibe  brig^ 
PavemoM,  that  like  a  ^ot  of  jujitr  (bone, 
Empnipled  w!th  cc!c*iial  miiCK  tinilcd." 

Side  by  side  with  the  cringing,  pusillanimous  Waller, — side  by  side 
with  the  dressy,  immoral  Suckling, — side  by  side  with  Wither, 
who,  after  being  Charles's  captain,  became  Cromwell's  general, — 
side  by  side  with  Drydcn, — who  was  a  Puritan  under  the  Common- 
wealth, a  Freethinker  at  the  Restoration,  and  a  Roman  Catholic 
under  James  II., — sits,  "  with  his  garland  and  singing  robes  about 
him,"  the  sublime,  solitary  form  of  John  Milton,  perhaps  the  very 
noblest  of  all  England's  sons.  Shakspcare  was  a  more  oceanic, 
myriad-minded  genius,  but  Milton  was  the  rarer  and  the  lordlier 
soul.  It  may  be  his  literary  imperfection,  but  assuredly  it  is  his 
moral  strength,  that  Milton  could  not  have  conceived  such  creatures 
\  as  Falitaff  ox  Sir  Toby  Belch.  For  that  "  foul  gray-haired  iniquity" 
I      he  would  have  had  no  bursts  of  inextinguishable  laughter,  nor  any 


"  I  know  tbM  not,  vW  inan  i  fall  to  Ihy  pnycr* ; 
How  HI  wWte  liaits  l)«r,nie  a  fool  ani^  jester  I

So  surfcit'swcll'd,  so  old,  and  so  ^wfnat ; 
Bui,  bcu^  aviake,  I  do  despii«  my  dreanu" 


Does  it,in  your  c)'cs,dcieriorace  from  Milton's  peculiar  greatness  that 
he  could  not  have  given  us  the  conception  of  Fahtaff?  To  have  done 
so  he  must  have  lived  differently  from  what  he  did ;  he,  too,  must 
have  joined  in  long  drinking  bouts  and  careless  jcst-cncountcrs  with 
wits  and  poets  al  the  Mermaid  Tavern.  He,  too,  must  have  learned  to 
look  on  sill,  not  as  he  did  luok  on  it,  but  more  as  Ben  Jonson  looked 
01)  it— with  cold,  unrcproving  eye.  A  modern  writer  has  imagined 
Milton  appearing  at  the  Mermaid,  a  pure,  beautiful  youth,  and,  in 
answer  to  some  burst  of  witty  ribaldry,  casting  among  the  company 
that  grand  theory  of  his,  "  that  he  who  would  not  be  frustrate  of

be  a  true  poem — that  is,  a  composition  and  pattern  of  the  best  and 
honourxblest  things."  **■  Wh;tt  a  blush  would  have  mounted  on  the 
old  r^cc  of  Ben  Jonson  before  such  a  rebuke  !  what  interruption  of 
the  jollity!  what  mingled  uneasiness  and  resentment ! — what  forced 
laughter  to  conceal  consternation  I  Only  ShakspcarCj  one  thinks, 
would  have  turned  on  the  hold  youth  a  mild  and  approving  eye, 
would  have  looked  round  the  room  to  observe  the  whole  scene ;  and> 
remembering,  perhaps,  some  passages  in  his  own  life,  would,  mayhap^ 
have  had  his  own  thoughts."  For  myself,  such  a  scene  recalls  to 
mind  that  grand  passage  of  the  ^'  Para.dise  Lost,"  where  the  reproof 
of  IthuricI,  *' severe  in  youthful  beauty,"  makes  Satan  "feci  how 
awful  goodness  is,  and  Virtue  in  her  own  shape  how  lovely  i"  or 
where  the  seraph  Abdiet  is  faithful  found, 

"  Among  the  Jiuthletc,  faithful  only  Ire  ; 

Anion)*  innutnciahlc  faltc,  uiimovtit, 

Unthnkcn,  iinscduceil,  «nterrif]c(l  ;" 

and  so  passes,  with  retorted  scorn,  through  the  ranks  of  scornful 
foes. 

But  the  days  of  Milton's  manhood  were  cast  among  men  ol 
infinitely  more  degradation  than  the  Elizabethan  wits ;  and  among 
these  ribalds,  and  roysterers,  and  men  about  town,  he  stands  out  like 
a  being  of  another  sphere.  In  the  very  darkest  days  of  English 
history, —  amid  the  loudest  dissonance  of  Bacchus  and  his  revellers, — • 
in  days  which,  as  Macaulay  says,  cannot  be  recalled  without  a  blushi 
**  the  days  of  servitude  without  loyalty,  and  sensuality  without  love, — 
of  dwarfish  talents  and  gigantic  vices,  the  paradise  uf  cold  hearts  and 
narrow  minds,  the  golden  age  of  ihc  coward,  the  bigot,  and  the 
slave, — in  the  days  when  the  principles  of  liberty  were  the  scofF  of 
every  grovelling  courtier,  and  the  Anathema  Maranatha  of  every 
&wningdcan, — in  these  days  blind,  detested,  impoverished,  deserted, 
stricken,— in  these  days  when  the  great  friends  who  had  loved  were 
pining  in  the  dungeon,  or  had  diftd  upon  the  scalToId,"— in  these 
days 

"  With  voire  unchangeil.

in  "Paradise  Lost,"  tlie  impcmhablc  memorial  of  a  most  lofty 
soul.  During  no  less  than  fifty  years,  in  which  ihey  were  con- 
ccraponuieSj  while  Dryden  was  adding  by  numberless  plays  and 
prologues  to  the  recking  degradations  of  the  scagc^  Milton  was 
speaking  in  a  voice  which  h»s  been  compared  to  the  swell  of  the 
advancing  tide,  settling  into  the  long  thunder  of  billows,  breaking  for 
lej^ues  along  the  shore.  While  the  gay  creatures  who  fluttered  in 
the  brief  sunshine  of  a  licentious  prosperity  were  grating  upon  their 
scrannel  pipes  the  lean  and  flashy  songs  to  their  Phylltscs  and  Cam- 
paspes,  he  was  asserting  Kternal  Providence,  and  justifying  the  ways 
of  God  to  man.  "  Neither  blindness,  nor  gout,  nor  age,  nor  penury, 
nor  domestic  affliction,  nor  politicjd  disappointments,  nor  abuse,  nor 
proscription,  nor  neglect,  had  power  to  disturb  his  sedate  and  majestic 
patience  ....  Such  as  his  mind  had  been  when,  on  the  eve  of  great 
events,  he  returned  from  his  travels  in  the  prime  of  health  and  manly 
beauty,  loaded  with  literary  distinctions  and  glowing  with  patriotic 
hopes,  such  it  continued  to  be  when,  after  having  experienced  every 
calamity  which  Is  incident  to  our  nature— old,  poor,  sightless,  and 
di^raccd,  he  retired  to  his  hovel  to  die." 

But  my  language  is  too  imperfect  to  convey  my  own  conception  of 
this  lofty,  and  vestal,  and  stately  soul.  He  was,  to  my  mind,  one  of 
the  very  purest,  one  of  the  very  sublimcst,  of  mortal  men  ;  from 
eighteen  Christian  centuries  the  noblest  impersonation  of  Christian 
manhood — patriot,  and  saint,  and  sage.  1  imagine  him  sometimes 
armed  with  that  *'  fiery  whip  "  wherewith  he  threatened  tymruious 
kings  and  prclatical  impostors,  and  '*  with  such  an  eye  as  struck  Gehazi 
with  leprosy  and  Simon  Magus  with  a  curse,"  and  sometimes,  in  his 
softer  and  gentler  moods  of  tenderness  and  hope.  Shakspearc  may 
have  been  the  greater  poet  ;  but  if  he  ;ind  Milton  were  now  to  enter 
this  room  in  mortal  form  1  should  bow  to  Milton  first ;  for  never,  I 
think,  lived  any  man  with  a  mure  intense  and  glowing  conviction 
that  the  soul  of  man  is  an  emanation  firom  the  breath  of  God,  and 
that  "the  love  of  God  is  a  fire  sent  from  heaven  to  be  kept  alive 
upon  the  altar  of  our  hearts ;  and  that,  for  the  dignity  of  God's 
image  upon  him,  a  nun  should  dread,  mure  even  than  the  censure  of 
others,  the  refieclion  of  his  own  severe  and  modest  eye  upon  him- 
self." Oh,  that  many  and  many,  especially  of  our  youths,  were  like 
hitn — religious  without  austerity,  learned  without  pedantry,  pure 
though  passionate,  graceful  yet  strong.  If  it  were  so,  this  England 
of  ours,  respecting  whose  future  destiny  one  cannot  always  think

without  an  anxious  dread^  would  go  far  to  realise  his  own  great 
image  :—

I  should  like  to  read  jrou  much  of  Milton's  poetry  :  some  of  the 
rich  and  dignified  passiigcs  of  "  Comus,"  of  the  wailing  strains  of 
'*  Lycidas,"  of  the  soul-animatitig  Sonnets,  of  the  majcstic>  unequalled 
music  of  ^*  Paradise  Lost ; "  but  if  1  once  began  I  should  not  know 
where  to  choose,  and,  therefore^  i  will  read  none  of  it;  but  as 
Milton's  prose  writings  are  barely  known  at  all,  and  as,  in  parts,  they 
are  almost  as  grand  as  his  poetry,  being,  in  his  own  grand  words,  "  a 
scvcn-fold  chorus  o{  hallelujahs  and  harping  symphonies,"  let  me 
read  one  passage  from  them.  Here,  then,  is  a  fragment  of  chat 
amazing  burst  of  high  feeling  with  which  he  concludes  his  treatise 
of  the  "  Refcirmation  in  England,"  that  bright  and  blissful  change 
which,  ^'  by  Divine  power,  strook  through  the  black  and  settled 
night  of  ignorance  and  antichtistian  tyranny,"  and  when  "  the  sweet 
odour  of  the  returning  guspcl  bathed  men's  souls  in  the  fragraiicy  of 
heaven." 

After  saying  that  he  feels  himself  enwrapped  into  such  mazes  and 
labyrinths  of  hideous  and  dreadful  thuughts,  that  he  knows  not  how 
to  escape  them,  save  by  lifting  up  his  hands  to  the  eternal  throne,  he 
adds  \ — 

"Tliou,  ihercrore,  that  sit'st  in  Iti'hl  and  glory  unapproacbaUe,  parent  ofangcU  and

■bftll  ctasp  iiuquintble  hands  with  joy  and  bliue  in  over  mcuare  for  ever  I " 

Thus,  and  in  man}'  another  tnighty  page,  wrote  that  grand,  austere 
Puiitan,  John  Milton,  who  look  his  inspiration  not  '*  from  the  heat 
of"  youth  and  the  vapours  of  wine,"  iiyt  even  "  by  the  invocation  of 
Dame  Memory  and  her  syren  daughters,  but  by  devout  prayer  to 
that  Eternal  Spirit  who  can  enrich  with  all  utterance  and  all  know- 
ledge, and  sends  out  his  seraphim  with  the  hallowed  fire  of  his  altar 
to  touch  and  purify  the  lips  of  whom  he  will." 

The  next  poets  who  mark  an  epoch  in  English  literature  are 
Drydcn  and  Pope.  Dryden  died  in  the  year  1700  ;  (and  here  let  me 
remark,  in  passing,  that  three  of  our  greatest  poets  died  in  the  first 
year  of  a  century — Chaucer  in  1400,  Dryden  in  1700,  Cowpcr  in 
1800).  It  is  the  merit  of  Drydcn  to  have  brought  into  perfection 
the  heroic  couplet  %  and  this  is  what  Gray  alludes  to  when  he  says — 

"  Bdtold,  vrlicre  Dryden's  Ick  prenmptnons  ear 
Wide  o"cr  the  field*  of  glorj-  Ijtair 
Two  cotmcr^  of  ethereal  tsce. 
With  necks  in  thunder  clothed,  aud  long-resoiindiiig  pace." 

That  Dryden  had  in  him  the  elements  of  greatness  is  indubitable; 
that  he  desecrated  those  high  powers  and  laid  them,  like  the  incense 
of  Israel,  upon  unhallowed  shrines,  is  no  less  certain.  Happily, 
poetry  like  most  of  his — "  prurient  yet  passionless  " — poetry,  to  write 
some  of  which,  it  Is  said,  that  he  actually  produced  an  artificial 

iguor  by  letting  blood  ! — is  also  ephemeral ;  niir  shall  I  read  you 
of  it,  except  a  few  lines,  in  which  he  admits  his  own  condemna- 
tion, and  which  show  how  much  better  he  might  have  done,  when 
he  says — 

"  O,  gncions  Cod,  how  far  have  we

The  GeniU^tan's  Magasiut. 


[Feb. 


Yes ;  well  would  It  be  for  him  who  pollutes  the  vestal  (lame  of 
genius  by  kindling  ic  on  the  uttars  of  sin,  if  such  works  of  his,  instead 
of  being  remembered,  might  be  steeped  in  forgctfulncss  for  ever,  and 
might  swiftly  undergo  that  happy  doom  of  eternal  oblivion  for  which 
he  himself,  in  another  and  better  life,  would  himself  pray  upon  his 
bended  knees! 

The  impulse  begun  by  Diydcn  was  continued  by  Pope,  who 

*'  Made  pociTT  a  mere  mcdunic  an. 
AdcI  cv«j  scribbler  had  hi*  ton*  l>y  Ivcan." 

As  Milton  reflects  the  grandeur  of  Puritanism  in  the  gloiious  days 
of  Croaiwcll,  as  Dr)'dett  in  his  false  taste  and  ribald  decrepitude 
mirrored  the  low  and  heartless  reign  of  Charles  II.,  so  Pope,  in  his 
smooth,  trim-shaven,  aniRcial  mannerism,  is  the  representative  of  the 
cold-hearted  semi-sceptical  period  of  Anne  and  the  Georges.  The 
age  when  people  could  extravagantly  admire  a  description  of  night 
in  whicli  the  mounuins  arc  said  to  nod  their  drowsy  heads,  and  the 
flowers  to  SM-eat  under  the  night-dews  ;  when  a  gimcrack  grotto  at 
Twickenham  was  thought  the  perfection  of  loveliness ;  when  patches 
un  the  cheek,  the  concealment  of  disease,  were  deemed  to  enhance 
the  attraction  of  healthy  beauty-,  the  poet  of  such  an  age,  if  he 
reflected  it,  could  hardly  be  expected  to  excel  except  in  such  scathing 
satire  as  the  tines  to  Addison,  and  such  glittering  mock  hcrmcs  as 
the  "  Rape  of  the  Lock."  In  Pope's  time  all  affectation  of  "  the 
great"  in  poctrv  was  over;  for  imagination  there  was  mere  fancy,  for 
courageous  labour  and  solid  study  there  were  florid  diction  andjeux 
tteipritt;  for  (he  *'  leisurely  ideal  building  up  of  a  continuous  action," 
there  were  things  of  which  the  author  was  half  ashamed,  and  which 
were  only  meant  at  the  best  to  amuse  the  leisure  of  idle  fine  gentle- 
men.    So  fax  from  being  bom  in  a  golden  clime, 

'*  With  golilea  5tan  above. 
Dowered  with  rlie  lute  of  hate,  llic  soom  or  tcom, 
The  lore  of  low," 

the  poet  was  "  a  man  about  town."  The  lofty  ideal  of  a  poet's 
work  had  fallen  into  inniiitc  degradation ;  and  Pope  helped  its  fall. 
And  yet,  such  was  his  natural  genius,  so  perfect  his  narrow  style,  so 
powerful  his  influence,  that  sixty  years  of  vacant  and  regular  inanity 
ace  mainly  due  to  him. 

Accordingly,  the  next  poet  of  an  epoch  is  William  Cowpcr,  the 
shy,  religious  hypochondriac,  who  spent  his  life  in  remote  country

viUnges  with  old  ladies  and  evangelical  cler^mcn,  and  who  never 
gave  a  line  to  the  world  till  he  was  fifty  years  of  age.  His  main  con- 
tribution to  English  literature  consists  in  the  fact  that  by  his  puic, 
simple  natur3ln«i&  and  heartiness  he  was  the  flrst  to  break  loose  from 
those  clanking  chains  and  artificial  swaddling-clouts  in  which  Pope 
had  bound  the  Knglish  Musc>  and  which  had  produced  their  worst 
degeneracy  in  the  vaporous  inanities  of  the  '*  Minerva  Press"  and 
the  *'  Delia  Cruscans."  Joined  wJih  him  in  spirit  were  Crabbc,  the 
homely  poet  of  village  life.  Bishop  Percy,  the  collector  of  the 
cliques,"  and  Ruben  Burns,  the  glorious  Ayrshire  ploughman. 
V  ihcy  did  was  to  turn  the  age  from  the  formal  and  turbid  canals 
wtcd  mannerism  to  the  pure,  sunny,  ebullient  fountains  of 
,  simplicity,  and  truth.  Pope,  with  his  classical,  finc-gcntlc- 
AStincts,  would  have  despised  the  unvarnished  truth  of  CrabUe's

vgiin  to  such  marvcllDus  life,  that  never  before  did  men  shake  to  the 
grouod  so  nuny  old  tyrannies  and  ef^'eic  superstitions,  and  explore  so 
many  Eldorados  of-  discovery,  and  crown  themselves  with  such 
starry  garlands  oi  science  and  poetry,  we  cannot  tcU  ;  but  certain  it  is 
that  the  burst  of  new  life  was  coincident  with  the  great  worlJ-earth- 
quake  of  the  French  Revolution.  At  ajiy  rate,  certain  it  is  that, 
among  a  host  of  minor  poets,  wc  have  had  in  this  single  century  the  fine 
chivalry  of  Scott,  the  lyric  enthusiasm  of  Campbell,  the  statuesque 
grandeur  of  Keats,  the  spiritual  loveliness  of  Shelley,  the  dcep- 
cnwovcn  melody  of  Coleridge,  the  moving  pathos  of  Hood,  the 
divine  unworldliness  of  Wordsworth,  the  profound  intensity  ofj 
Browning,  the  marvellous  grace  and  finish  of  our  present  Laureate. 

"  O'er  wakened  renlius  |ihiloso|>))«rs  and  hards 
Spread  in  onccntric  circle* ;  Ihey  *ho»c  tonli 
Conscious  <i  tbeir  high  dentiny  from  God, 
Bfook  not  Mcallli'a  rivalry." 

But  out  of  all  these  poets  I  select  one  as  the  poet  who  marks  an 

epoch,  and  that  one  is  William  Wordsworth.  I  can  well  remember  the 

time  when  to  do  so  would  have  made  a  man  the  subject  of  laughter  j 

Byron  was  then  the  rage,  especially  of  the  young,  and  they  thought 

that   they   were  crushing  Wordsworth  (they  might,  says  Southcy, 

have  talked  as  well  of  crushing  Skiddaw)  by  quoting  Byron's  two 

lines— 

"  A  drowsy,  frowsy  poem,  called  ihe  Kxciirs.ian, 
Writ  ia  a  nuutticr  wliJch  is  my  avcriion — ' 

of  that  famous  poem  which  Coleridge,  with  enthusiasm,  called 

"  An  Orphic  son^  imlccil, 
A  songdivincof  htgli  and  i>.-iv«i(7nale  lliouglili 
To  tbcir  oun  niu&ji:  chanted." 

Yet  Byron  and  the  satanic  school  nrc  rapidly  dying  out ;  and  the 
words  of  that  wise  and  noble  fratcniiiy,  nicknamed  the  "  Lakers," 
have  long  become  household  words  with  the  noble  and  the  good. 
From  the  Byronic  schofil  emanated  poems  on  subjects  so  abhurrcnt, 
as  Byron's  *'  Heaven  and  Karth,"  and  Moore's  "  Loves  of  the 
Angels,"  and  Shelley's  "  Ccnci,"  and  Leigh  Hunt's  "  Rimini  \ "  fi-om 
tlie  school  of  Wordsworth  such  poems  only  as  made  men  more  full 
of  admiration,  hope,  and  love.  Byron  wrote  much  that  no  person 
of  delicate  feeling  could  read  without  the  burning  blush  of  indigna- 
Uon.i  Wordsworth  made  his  laurel  greener  by  uttering  no  line  that

might  not  have  been  lingered  over  by  the  purest  angel  in  heaven ; 
the  tendency  of  Byron's  verse  was  to  make  men  moodier,  more 
immoral,  more  egotistical,  more  selfish  i  the  tendency  of  all  that 
Wordsworth  wrote  was  "  to  lend  ardour  to  virtue  and  confidence  to 
truth."  And,  therefore,  the  whole  grisly  troop  of  Byron's  Corsairs, 
and  Laras,  and  Giaours,  and  Sclims,  and  Don  Juans,  and  Manfrcds, 
arc  on  their  way  to  the  limbo  of  contempt  and  dust ;  while  Words- 
worth has  in.iugurated  a  new  epoch,  and  remains  the  greatest  poet  oi 
the  epoch  he  began.  Byruii's  verse  flashed  forth  like  an  evanescent 
meteor,  that  dazzled  only  it>  betray ;  Wordsworth  shone  with  the 
steady  lustre  of  some  benignant  star,  glowing  more  intensely  when  all 
was  most  dark  around.  The  difference  between  the  two,  as  poets, 
may  be  seen  in  the  contrast  between  the  two  as  men.  The  one,  a 
handsome  young  nobleman,  traversed  all  Europe  in  search  of  pleasure 
and  amusement,  letting  every  winged  wish  roam  unrestrained  over  the 
gardens  of  enjoyment,  so  thnt  the  poems  sent  forth  from  his  Vene- 
tian seraglio  spcnk  but  of  joys  which  are  the  thrillings  of  sense;  "his 
pathos  is  but  the  regret,  and  his  wisdom  the  languor  and  satictj',  of 
the  jaded  voluptuary  : "  the  other  lived  in  poverty  and  seclusion  iti 
a  rustic  cottage  among  the  hills,  and  wrote  with  the  light  of  heaven 
upon  him  in  the  bosom  of  a  pure  domestic  life.  **  One  special 
occasion  he  notes,  when  rcturnitig  honic  in  the  early  morning,  his 
whole  spirit  was  stirred  within  him,  as 

Tlie  morning  rose  in  mcinumble  ]K>mp  ; " 

and  there  came  over  him  one  of  those  crises,  so  marked  in  the  history 
of  great  minds,  which  colour  the  whole  after-course  of  existence. 
**  To  the  brim,"  he  says, 

*'  Itly  heart  wu  full  ;  I  made  na  vrmi,  but  von-> 
Were  ilien  maOe  ffir  me ;  horiil  iinkno'wn  \o  tue 
Was  given,  ihni  I  >liouId  \x,  dv:  hinninj;  grtUlj, 
A  dcdicaletl  kpicit :  on  I  walked 
In  [funnkful  lile^sct-inru  wliicli  yd  furvivct.* 

And  to  this  consecration— "  the  silent  influences  of  the  morning 
poured  upon  his  head  by  the  Invisible  Hand  " — he  remained  faithful 
as  few  priests  have  ever  been  to  their  calling,  a  priest  of  nature,  a 
priest  of  God. 

It  seems  to  me  that  there  are  two  great  lessons  to  be  learned  from 
comparing  the  lives  of  such  men  as  Byron  and  Wordsworth  :  the  one 


H

intcllecmil,  the  other  moral.  The  inteUcetual  one  Is,  that  Immediate 
popularity  is  no  test  whatover  of  poetic  merit ;  a  great  writer  must 
create  the  taste  which  enjoys  him.  Byron's  poems  were  received 
with  frantic  enthusiasm^and  with  shouts  of  applause;  Wordsworth's 
were  for  a  long  time  greeted  with  cold  neglect  or  with  bursts  of  silly 
laughter.  Yet,  now,  Wordsworth's  have  commenced  their  steady 
immortality  ;  and  Byron's  (who  himself  said,  "  nearly  all  that  I  have 
written  is  mere  passion")  are  beginning  already  to  sink  into  a  mere 
historical  oblivion.     And  the  mor^l  lc»$on  is  this  :— 

"  WTio  ibIUnn  pleamire,  pleasure  slajnt, 
CtoXi  wraih  upon  himself  he  revlci ; 
But  all  deti^hu  ntiend  hit  days 
^V^o  tftkes  with  thuiks  biit  never  Beeks."j 

Byron  with  health,  beauty,  strength,  fame,  riches,  and  noble 
birth — Byron,  with  the  society  of  eminent  men,  and  the  adoration  of 
lovely  women,  who  roamed  over  earth's  fairest  places  to  futd  himself 
the  most  voluptuous  of  homes — did  he  And  chat  phantom  of  pleasure 
which  he  chased  ?  Let  himself  answer.  He  was  the  most  miserable 
of  men.     On  his  thirty-thrrd  birthday  he  wrote  these  lines — 

"  Throng  lUe't  doll  road  so  dim  and  dirty, 
1  hftvc  (Iraggcil  on  to  three- and -thirty. 
What  huYC  these  years  left  lo  mcl 
Nothing — except  thirty -threfc" 

In  the  last  year  of  his  life  but  ojic,  though  he  had  not  yet  reached 
middle  age,  he  says — 

"  I  a«i  aihcs  where  once  I  was  fire, 

And  the  hard  in  my  bosom  is  dead  ; 
What  I  laved  I  now  merely  admire, 
An'l  my  heart  b  ns  gray  u  mj  head." 

And  at  the  age  of  thirty-seven,  in  the  last  verses  of  all  which  he  ever 
wrote,  he  says  in  a  language  which  is  intense  in  its  pathetic  and 
hopeless  remorse — 

'•  "TIs  time  this  heart  should  l)e  mimoveJ, 
Since  olhera  it  hdu  ceased  to  move  ; 
Vcl  though  1  cannol  be  beloYetl, 
Still  let  me  love  ! 

My  days  are  in  Ihe  yellow  leaf : 

The  flower,  the  fruit*  of  low  arc  gone  j— 
The  wurm,  the  canker,  and  Uie  grief) 
Ate  mine  alone.

And  (tower  of  lavci  I  cannot  tlinrr. 
But  wear  tlie  chain." 

How  widely  difierenc  is  this  little  passage  of  Wordsworth,  a  passage 
contAining  a  simple  Christian  lesson,  such  as  is  not  to  be  found  in  all 

Byron : — 

"  And  tbc  lady  prayed  in  heaviness, 

Thai  looked  noi  for  (cticf ; 

Ititt  slowly  did  ber  uiccoar  come, 

And  a  patience  to  licr  grief.

That  t1ia.ll  Uck  a  timely  cud. 
If  but  to  God  we  lum  and  ask 
Of  liiiii  to  be  ouf  friend." 

Which  of  the  two  writers  seems  to  you  to  have  beeti  the  happier 
man — the  lordly  plcasure-scclccr,  who  exhausted  the  world's  gifts,  or 
the  quiet  fiimily-Ioving  Christian  recluse,  who  wrote  the  *'  Ode  to 
Duty,"  and  the  character  of  the  Happy  Warrior,  and  who  had 
learnt  from  Nature  the  deep,  sweet  lesson— 

"  Never  to  mix  our  plcamre,  or  our  pain, 

With  angiuUi  of  the  mcAnett  thing  that  fccb." 

But  it  is  more  than  time  for  me  to  conclude ;  and  I  will  conclude, 
not  with  any  of  those  great  and  important  inferences  which  might  be 
drawn  from  even  so  brief  and  hurried  a  survey  of  English  poetry  as 
this,  but  with  a  {<i'^  words  of  more  general  import.  And  I  would 
say  this  ; — that,  in  a  hard  and  faithless  generation,  poets  are  eminently 
fitted  to  teach  us  one  lesson  which  we  greatly  need.  It  is  the  lesson, 
and  one  which  contains  in  it  a.  great  secret  of  human  happiness,  that 
God's  simplest,  cheapest,  most  universal  blessings  are  his  best.  The 
hearing  car  and  the  seeing  eye — if  wc  have  these  we  have  the  mate- 
rials for  man's  most  lofty  and  unalloyed  enjoyments,

of  poets.  No ;  but  I  feci,  perhaps,  the  p»iti  of  an  alien  worM^  a 
world  not  ycl  subdued  by  thought ;  or  I  am  cheered  by  the  moist, 
warm,  glittering,  budding,  melodious  hour  that  takes  down  the 
narrow  walls  of  my  soul  and  extends  its  life  and  pulsation  to  the] 
very  horizon.  That  is  morning, — to  cease  for  one  bright  hour  to  be 
the  prisoner  of  a  sickly  body,  and  to  become  as  large  as  nature." 
Such  feelings,  ladies  and  gentlemen,  the  poets  teach  us  to  understand 
and  to  enjoy  \  and  they  lead  iis  to  feel  more  than  even  they  can  express. 
They  make  us  nobler,  more  independent,  happier,  with  laigcr  hearts 
and  wiser  thoughts.  Next  to  the  sacred  Sciiptures,  they  teach  us  best 
that  "  man  doth  not  live  by  bread  alone,"  and  that  "his  life  con- 
slstcth  not  in  the  abundance  of  the  things  which  he  posscsseth,"  They 
will  help  to  teach  us  how  rich  is  the  boon  which  God  has  given  us 
in  giving  us  the  gift  of  life.  They  will  teach  us  that  He  doeth  all 
things  well.  They  will  enable  us  to  learn  with  them  the  lesson 
which,  well  learnt,  contributes  no  little  to  the  peace  and  joy  of  earth ; 
that  man,  in  spite  of  his  fall  from  Paradise,  is  often  loveable ;  and 
that  God,  even  in  the  hour  of  our  deepest  trials,  is  always  merciful 
and  good.

doing ;  another  is,  not  to  be  afraiti  of  the  amount  of  work  before  you  ; 
tni>t  10  your  own  stift'  back  and  5.tronjf  ami,  set  at  your  work  with  .1 
determination  lo  get  it  under,  and  in  time  it  will  go  down  before 
you,  if  you  don't  dag.  These  reflections  are  called  up  in  us  1)y  a 
perusal  of  the  Early  English  Text  Society's  Report  for  this  year,  -which 
is  full  of  spirit,  and  of  that  resolution  which  men  who  mean  work  should 
have.  Four  yean;  ago  the  society  was  started  very  quietly,  by  a  few 
little-known  but  enthusiastic  members  of  the  Philological  Society,  and 
its  first  year's  income  was  only  145/.  Last  year  its  income  was  941/., 
and  the  society  now  stands  at  the  head  of  the  societies  of  its  kind.  It 
has  announced  tliat  it  means  to  print  the  whole  of  our  early  English

torian era,?     If  (rtriiiany  can  [>rint  all  its  early  literature,  why  cannot 
we?      Are  our  men  of  old  lc3.s  wortliful  than    theirs?     God    forbids 
Whom  can  they  set  beside  Cicdmon,  l^yamon,  Manning,  Hjm|>olc, 
Langlaiid,  Chaucer,  ikirlK>ur,  and  I.ydgatc?    Whom  beside  Mandeville, 
Trevisa,  and  many  another  worthy  whose  name  is  unknown,  but  whose

lie   for   modem  eyes  all  that  yet  exists  of  the  records  of  our  fore- 
■thers'  thoughts?     The  sources  of  the  Nile  are  esteemed  an  object 
worthy  of  the  money,  the  attention,  nay,  the  lives  of  Englishmen  ;  are 
the  sources  of  P-ngli^  literature  so  much  less  in  value  to  English  e)'e8? 
.Surely  it  is  time  for  our  countrymen  to  set  resolutely  to  work  at  thift| 
task  of  doing  justice  to  their  ancestors,  of  tracing  their  language  and  the] 
course  of  their  thoughts  back  step  by  step  to  its  rise  in  Anglo^axoa] 
days,  that  so  the  progress  of  the  mind  and  tongue  of  Kngland  may  bef 
'    owa     Two-thirds  of  the  old  road  are  still  inaccessible.     But  thej 

meers  to  clear  it  are  ready  and  willing.     Here  is  what  they  say 
their  last  year's  work  and  this  year's.     >Vho  will  help  them  on  ? 

The  following  is  the  substance  of  tlic  report  of  the  committee,  dated 
January,  1868: — 

Unexampled  as  had  been  the  progress  of  the  Sodety  in  former  years, 
success  in  the  year  just  passed  must  be  held  to  ha%'e  exceeded  that  I 
of  all  previous  ones,  for  not  only  have  its  own  members  increased  bjrJ 
a  hundred  and  seventy — not  only  lia)>  its  income  risen  to  941/.,  but  it  has> 
t^ven  birtli  to  what  are,  iu  fact,  Tout  oUxer  societies  namely,  its  own 
Extra  Series,  the  Si>enser  Society,  the  Roxburghe  Library,  and   the 
Chaucer  Society.*    'I'hus  reinforced,  the  society  can  proceed  with  fresh 
vigour  to  the  accomplishment  of  its  usk,  witli  the  determination  not  to 
rest  till  Englishmen  shall  be  able  to  say  of  tlieir  early  literature,  what 
the  (.iennans  can  now  say  with   pride  of  theirs,   "  every  work  of  it's 
printed,  and  every  word  of  it's  glosiicd."     Kngland  must  no  longer  be 
'Content  to  lag  behind.     But  many  a  year  of  strenuous  eflbrt  lies  between 
this  task  just  begun  and  it.s  end.     It  is  an  effort  in  which  ever)-  member] 
of  the  society  is  called  on  to  take  part;  and  during  this  present  yearj 
and  all  future  ones,  the  committee  rely  on  its  volunteers  to  put  it  iai 
possession  of,  at  least,  the  mofley  power  that  the  Covemmem  supplies  i 
to  its  English  regulars  under  the  Master  of  the  Rolls, — a  thousand  ai 
ar.     With  an  income  of  that  amount,  a  real  impression  could  be  made  i 
the  work  before  us,  and  if  every  member  will  but  get  one  fresh  sul>-' 
scribcr  during  the  year,''  the  income  wanted  will  be  at  once  secured.

To  the  resolute  members  who  have  made  the  sorietj*  what,  in  numbers  and 
income,  it  is,  the  conimincc  espcr i.illy  ap|x:a!  to  rontiniie  their  exertions, 
so  thai  the  subscribers  may  be  raised  to  the  required  thousand. 

The  review  of  the  past  year's  work  shows  two  sides  lo  it ;  one 
much  encouragement,  the  other  of  less.  To  take  the  latter  first. 
Members  were  oflcre<I  thirty-two  texlit  during  the  year,  in  the  original 
series,  if  they  would  find  money  for  them  ;  they  found  it  only  for  seven, 
— and  these  instead  of  eleven,  as  in  1866, — which  made  necessary  the 
starting  of  on  lixtra  Scries,  but  yet  that  has  been  only  able  to  take  one 
text,  and  part  of  another.  Members  were  asked  to  double  the  society's 
income:  they  left  it  at  its  old  amount,' only  making  up  by  fresh  sul>- 
scriptions  for  the  ohi  revenue  from  back  texts.  They  were  asked  to- 
reprint  the  back  texts  of  1864  and  1865  ;  they  have  only  raised  enough 
to  reprint  those  of  1S64.  Still,  new  members  take  time  and  trouble  to 
obtain ;  and  that  so  many  were  obtained  as  170,  is  cause  for  congratu- 
lation, not  complaint.  The  society's  numbers  were  in  its  first  three  years 
successively,  145,  260,  409:  in  1867  they  reached  580;  its  income  was 
in  its  first  three  years  successively.  152/.,  384/.,  681/. ;  in  1S67,  it  was 
941/ J  its  issues  of  texts  were,  successively,  in  1864,  '65,  '66,  four, 
seven,  eleven  :  in  1867,  nine/  and  this  with  the  help  of  the  Extra  Series; 
but  as  68/.  of  the  cost  of  the  .Ayenbite,  published  in  1866,  was  carried 
over  to  1867,  in  which  year  that  sum  (with  the  money  paid  for  copying 
MSS.  for  j868,  iic.)  would  have  produced  one  more  text,  the  issues  of 
1S66  and  1867  may  be  looked  on  as  equal.  Thus,  while  in  numbers 
(by  the  help  of  the  Percy  folio),  and  in  income  (by  the  help  of  the 
Extra  Scries),  the  society  has  largely  increased  during  1867,  in  texts  it 
may  be  considered  as  having  maintained  its  issue  of  i8(»6.  Moreover, 
it  has,  by  the  establishment  of  the  Kxtra  Scries  for  re-editions,  taken* 
these  out  of  the  way  of  the  MS.  work  for  the  original  series,  thai  pioneer 
work  which  is  the  society's  most  important  business. 

The  texts  of  iIk:  past  year  have  yielded  to  no  prior  ones  in  interest 
and  importance,  as  will  be  manifest  when  their  names  are  mentioned  ;, 
they  have  touched  mor*;  ne:irly  the  life  of  the  people  than  ever  before 
In  our  Miscellaneous  Class,  Mr.  Toulmm  Smith's  "  English  Gilds"* 
will  cast  a  light,  as  long  desired  as  unexpected,  on  the  condition  of  our 
early  "  common  and  middling  folks"  (*'Gilds,"p,  i;S)  in  towns,  and 
show  the  whole  of  urban  England  covered  willi  brotherhoods  "  for 
cherbhing  love  and  cliarity  among  themselves"  (p.  184),  for  mutual' 
help  in  sickness  and  old  age,  and  the  pcrfurcnance  of  tfie  last  ofhccs  to 
the  dead.  It  is  in  the  spirit  of  these  men  thai  the  editor,  Mr.  Toulmin 
Smith,  has  tliroun  his  work,  gratis,  into  the  society's  series,  removing  it 
from  that  supcriutended  by  the  Master  of  the  Rolls  where  the  circu- 
btion  of  the  book,  and  its  consctiuent  usefulness,  would  have  lessened, 
though  tlie  editor's  full  pay  would  have  been  secured.  The  com- 
mittee desire  to  express  their  strong  sense  of  lliis  generosity  on  Mr. 
Toulmin  Smith'.';  part.

The  next  ^Teat  work  of  the  year  falU  also  into  the  ^[iscdlineous  Class, 
for  it  is  in  its  social  aspect  rather  than  il^  rcligiuus,  that  the  Commiltee 
regard  "The  \istoQ  of  Williuiu  concerning  Picre  Plowman,"  as  being  of 
importance.  For  the  ilnt  time,  the  first  sketch  of  this  noble  English 
poem  has  been  given  10  the  worhl,  and  with  a  loving  care  that  has 
never  been  heretofore  bcslowutl  on  the  later  versions.  *'  Pierce  the 
Ploughman's  Crcdc  "  has  likewise  been  issued  under  Mr.  Skeat's  editing, 
and  here  again  for  the  firit  lime  have  appeared  from  the^  MS.  the 
writer's  own  lines  on  the  Real  Presence,  altered  by  the  first  printer,  and 
copied  from  him  by  subse*nient  editors.  For  the  Extm  Series,  Mr. 
Morris's  other  engagements  have  not  allowed  him  to  produce  yet  the 
first  part  of  Chaucer's  "  Prose  Works,"  but  it  will  be  issued  during  i86S 
to  the  subscribers  to  that  series  for  1867,  and  the  edition  will  be  the 
only  separate  one  of  the  poet's  prose  ever  published. 

In  our  second  class,  works  illustrating  our  dialects  and  the  history  of 
our  language,  we  have  not  only  started  our  '*  Dictionary  Scries,"  by  the 
new  edition  of  the  first  jinnted  English  RJiyraing  Dictionary,  rendered 
now  for  the  first  time  easily  available  by  Mr.  Wheatley's  careful  Index  ; 
but  we  have  in  the  *'  MtiglisJi  Ciilds,"  a  raost  important  collection  of 
document!)  of  one  and  the  same  date,  from  many  of  the  counties  c^ 
England,  enabling  us — under  Mr.  Richard  Morris's  guidance — U>  con- 
trast their  varying  provincLilisnw,  and  also  to  sec  the  <tiffercnccs  between 
the  language  of  the  educated  cleric  and  the  provincial  scribe  of  the 
same  town.  The  Ungui»cic  importance  of  the  volume  is  almost  equal 
to  its  social,  and  had  it  done  no  more  than  confirro  the  existence  in 
Lynn'  of  the  initial  x  farms  known  also  in  Coventry  and  ijnculn&liire, 
it  would  have  justified  its  publication.  It  ranks  also  as  the  second  of 
our  dated  Texts  (Rq)ort,  1866),  the  Aycnbile  being  the  firsL 

In  our  third  class,  "  Religious  Trcati.scs,"  Mr.  Perry  has  given  us  the 
nervous  and  rhythmical  Sermon  that  Dun  Jolm  Gaytryge  made,  the 
singular  Poem  of  Sayne  John  the  Esangelist,  the  Abbey  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  &c. ;  while  Mr.  Fumivall  ha.s  addtti,  besides  the  curious  Poems 
on  the  Pilgrim's  Sea-Voyage  and  the  Parliament  of  Devils,  &c  ;  those 
tender  Hymns  to  the  Virgin  and  Christ,  that  simple  Prayer  of  Richard 
de  Castre's,  whose  pathos  all  must  feel.  The  issue  of  the  revised  version 
of  Hampole's  "Office"  promised  in  our  last  Re]>ort  has  been  postponed, 
35  a  belter  MS.  of  it  than  the  Thornton  one  lixs  been  fouml. 

In  our  first  class,  "  Romnnces,"  no  work  lias  been  issued  during  the 
past  year  in  the  original  series ;  and  this  because  the  Committee  gave 
notice  in  Aeir  last  Report  that  they  would  consider  "  the  Arthur  and 
Other  Romances  in  tlie  Percy  Polio  as  i)arl  of  the  Society's  Texts."  No

Folio,  now  all  in  t^-pe, — including  three  poems  at  first  intended  for  the 
Societ/s  second  Caivame  volume — the  Committee  felt  absolved  from 
the  necessity  of  producing  more.  But  they  regret  to  Ucar  that  the 
substrriptions  to  the  FoUo  have  not  covered  half  the  cost  of  printing  it, 
and  they  trust  that  those  members  who  have  not  yet  taken  the  book  on 
the  fa%'0urablc  terms  at  which  it  has  been  offered  to  members  of  the 
Sodcty  and  their  friends,  will  speedily  do  so.  In  the  Extra  Series, 
"The  Romance  of  William  of  Palerne"  (or  "William  and  the  Werwolf") 
w-ill  he  issued  for  1867  in  January  or  Febniar)-,  [S68,  re-edited  by 
Mr.  Skcat,  wn'th  the  missing  jjortion  supplied  from  the  French  original 
by  the  kind  help  of  Monsieur  Michelant,  of  llie  Imperial  Library  of 
France.  The  fragment  of  an  alliterative  "  Romance  of  Alexander," 
assumed  to  be  by  the  translator  of  "William  of  Paleme,"  will  be  issued 
in  the  same  volume. 

Another  most  important  section  of  the  Society's  work,  the  spread  of  the 
study  of  English  in  schools,  and  as  a  recognised  branch  of  education,!  has 
(luring  the  last  year  made  a  splendid  advance.  Interest  and  inquiry  have 
been  aroused  on  all  sides,  and  many  of  the  most  thoughtful  and  able 
teachers  have  declared  in  its  lavour,  as  is  shown  by  I'rofessor  Sccley's 
"Lecture,'^  the"l:l5says  on  a  Liberal  Fjjuration,"  the  proximate  establish- 
ment of  "  The  London  Student,"  the  introduction  of  regular  bnglish 
teaching  into  Marlborough  College,  King's  College  .School,  &:c  The  Com- 
mittee believe  also  that  the  forthcoming  Report  of  the  SchoolsCommission 
will  lake  the  same  view.  Mr.  Morris's  "  Specimens  of  Early  English," 
has  been  adopted  as  the  Te.\l-booic  for  the  B..A.  degree  in  the  Univer- 
sity of  London ;  and  to  meet  the  growing  want  in  schools  for  early 
te\t-books,  Mr.  Murrts  has  isi^ued  his  "  Selections  from  Chaucer,"  an<l 
Mr.  Skeat's  "Pierce  the  Fioughman's  Crede "  Ims  been  published 
heparately  as  a  school  book.  Professor  Hiram  Corson's  edition  ol 
Chaucer's  "  Legend  of  Cood  Women  "  is  also  here  worlliy  of  note.  The 
foundation  of  an  AngloSaxon  professorshij)  at  Cambridge  Ify  a  member 
of  the  Society,  the  Rev.  Professor  Bosworth,  has  been  announced,  and 
when  completed  will  rescue  that  scat  of  learning  from  the  disgrace  it

The  Coraralttec  have  again  to  return  ih.inks  to  the  several  Professors 
and  Mr.  Abbott,  for  the  trouble  they  have  taken  in  giving  lectures  and 
holding  CJiaminations  for  these  prizes.  It  is  gratifying  to  know  that  in 
one  instance,  at  least,  the  Societ)-'s  prize  has  induced  the  best  man  of 
his  year  at  a  college  to  take  up  the  study  of  Farly  Knglish,  and  so  to 
gain  a  possession  above  the  worth  of  mere  prizes. 

The  result  of  the  p.^sl  year's  work  is  such  as  to  call  on  every 
member  for  increased  exertion  to  extend  the  sphere  of  the  Society's 
usefulness  and  operations.  It  is  hindered  on  every  side  by  want  of 
funds,  by  want  of  attention  from  men  in  tlic  hurry  of  business  or  fashion- 
able life  ;  and  in  securing  cither  or  both  of  these,  membera  will  do  good 
jiCTvice  to  their  Society. 


For  Ibis  new  year  of  1868,  the  Committee  will  issue  to  members  with 
this  Report:— I.  The  very  interesting  set  of  Instructions  to  Parish 
Priests,  by  John  Mirk,  Canon  of  I.illeshall,  in  Shropshire,  edited  for  the 
first  time,  from  the  best  MS.,  by  Mr.  Edward  Peacock.  Its  sketch  of 
the  life  and  duties  both  of  priest  and  la>Tnan,  is  full  of  hfc-like  touches 
and  turiuus  inforaialion.  2.  In  contrast  with  this,  the  even  more 
curious  ami  full  picture  of  the  outer  life  of  page  and  duke,  of  school- boy 
and  girl,  of  olden  time,  contained  in  Uie  largest  collection  of  veree 
treatises  yet  made  on  the  Manners  and  Mculs  of  our  ancestors,  edited  by 
Mr.  Fumivall,  entitled  "  The  Babecs  Book,  See,"  and  having  Forewon^ 
on  Education  in  Karly  Kngland  Ijeforc  1450  a.d.  3.  Anotlier  mosl 
curious  treatise  on  Female  F.ducation  in  the  14th  century — "The 
Knight  de  la  Tour  Landry,"  edited  by  Mr.  Thomas  Wright — showing 
how  then,  by  precept  and  the  citation  of  examples,  a  father  taught  his 
motherless  girls  to  "  leam  and  sec  both  the  good  and  evil  of  the  time 
past,  and  for  :o  keep  ihem  in  good  cleanness,  and  from  all  evil  in  time 
coming."  To  these  the  Committee  propose  to  add : — 4-  Perhaps  the 
most  important  linguistic  text  issued  by  the  Society,  "  Early  English 
Homilies,"  ab.  1200  A.D.,  edited  by  Mr.  Richard  Morris,  showing  a  stage 
in  the  development  of  English  noun-infiectlons,  hitherto  unknown  and 
unexpected,  and  exhibiting  an  extraordinary  confusion  of  forms,  besides 
most  pleasant  quaintnesscs  of  speech,  of  thought,  and  life.  5.  The 
Third  Part  of  the  Romance  of  "McrUn,"  edited  by  Mr.  H-  B.  \\'hcaUcy. 
6.  Part  lU.  of  Sir  David  Lyndesay's  Works,  "  The  Hislorie  and  TcsU- 
menl  of  Sciuycr  Meldnam,"  edited  by  Dr.  F.  Ha]].  And  the  Committee 
trust  that  members  will  supply  funds  enough  to  enable  tlie  "Gawaine 
Poems"  the  short  .Anglo-Saxon  "Finding  of  the  Holy  Cross,"  the 
"Alliterative  Romance  of  the  Destruction  of  Troy,"  Text  B.  of 
Langland's  "Vision  of  Piers  Plowm.in,"  and  the  "  Catholicon,"  to  be 
included  in  this  j'car's  issue,  for  the  books  can  be  ready  whenever  the 
money  for  them  is  forthcoming. 

For  the  Extra  Series  the  year's  issue  will  be  :— 

I.  Caxlon't  Book  of  Ciirtc^yc.  in  Three  Vcisiom  : — i,  from  the  tiniqiic  i>rinled  cow 
ill  the  Cambridge  Univcrnly  Libnir>- ;  3,  frum  the  Oriel  MS.  79  ;  3,  froiu  the  BalBH 
MS.  3S4.     Ediied  by  F.  J.  Fumivall.  Esfj..  M.A.     (/«  Jviraary.) 

a.  lUvctok  ihc  Daiic.  Rc-edtlcd  Tiuiii  llic  uiiiunc  M.S.  by  the  Rev.  W.  W.  Skeat, 
>LA.,  with  the  tandion  nnil  aid  of  the  originiil  cJiior,  Sir  l-iedefic  MuddoL 

3.  Chauccr't  Tuxk  Works,  Part  IL  Edited  from  the  MSS.,  by  Rich«rd 
Morria,  Esq. 

The  Committee  desire  to  express  their  warm  thanks  to  Sir  Frederic 
Madden  for  willidrawing  his  formerly  expressed  wish  that  "  Havelok  " 
should  not  be  re-edited  by  the  Society,  and  for  now  nominating  Mr. 
Skcat  to  reproduce  in  a  more  accessible  fonn  the  text  so  much  desired 
by  students, — a  text  whose  reputation  is  so  largely  due  to  the  great 
ability  and  care  of  him  who  first  gave  it  to  the  small  public  of  the 
Roxburghe  Club. 

The  "  Reprinting  Fund  "  has  now  eighty  subscribers,  and  their  sub- 
scriptions, with  4;/.  from  tlie  sale  of  back  texts,  will  enable  the  texts  of 
]864  to  go  to  press  at  once,  and  ttiere  can  be  no  doubt  tliat  this  year 
will  sec  them  all  reprinted.

ENGLAND. 

Northumberland. — I,ast  month  we  briefly  noticed  the  discoveries 
made  by  excavations  at  Cheslers  oii  the  Roman  Wall,  one  of  the  most 
interesting  of  the  long  line  of  caUra  which  shehcre<I  the  garrisons  estab* 
Itshcd  there  to  protect  Britain  from  the  Caledonians  and  Pict-S.  Ii» 
ancient  name,  Cilumum,  is  fully  authenticated  by  the  order  in  which  it 
is  placed  by  Uic  Notttia  ainong  the  stations  upon  the  line  of  the  Walt, 
being  the  sivth,  counting  from  St^fdunum,  or  Wall's  Knd  ;  by  the  lact 
of  inscriirtions  there  discovered  recording  the  second  ala  of  the  Astures 
the  identical  body  of  auxiliaries  mentioned  by  t!ic  Noiitia  as  quartered 
there  i  and,  lastly,  for  a  trace  of  the  word  CUtirmtm  in  the  adjoining 
places,  CUoilerford,and  Chollerton,  from  which  it  may  be  concluded  that 
the  first  part  of  t)ie  word  was  sounded  as  the  modern  Italiao.  Tlie 
station  includes  within  its  walls  five-and-a-lulfacres.  It  had  its  temple, 
one  at  least,  as  we  learn  from  an  inscription,  and  other  public  build- 
ings, including  burracJts  for  the  soldiers.  Sculptures  show  that  tlic 
worship  of  Mitliras  prevailed  here,  xs  well  as  that  of  local  diviniijcs ; 
and  a  recumbent  figure  of  a  river-god  probably  pL'rsonifies  the  Nonh 
Tyne,  which  winds  alung  near  the  suuion,  and  upon  the  bank  of  which 
was  the  bmial-placc.  Nowhere,  moreover,  have  more  substantial  build- 
ings been  discovered  than  on  the  site  of  Cilumum,  or  structures  more 
impressive  for  their  spariousness  and  solidity. 

The  Roman  Wall  terminated  on  the  eastern  ade  of  the  North  Tyne 
in  a  guard-chamber  and  massive  foundations  for  a  bridge  of  wood.  On 
both  sides  of  the  river  Mr.  Clayton  has  had  the  abutments  of  the  bridge 
excavated ;  and  his  more  recent  investigations  have  been  directed 
towards  ascertaining  how  the  gates  of  the  station  were  arranged  in 
reference  to  the  Gre.it  AVall  and  the  bridge,  5:c.  Mr.  Clayton  has  now 
laid  his  Report  before  the  Society  of  Antiquaries  of  NewcAStle-upon- 
Tyne,  as  follo«'s,  somewhat  abridged  : — 

"Accxinling  to  the  theory  of  antiquaries,  as  enunciated  and  powerfully 
sustained  by  Dr.  Bruce  ("'  Roman  Wall,"  3rd  edilioo,  p.  1 43),  the  station 
of  Cilumum  wa.s  the  work  of  Julius  Agricola,  in  (he  reign  of  the 
Emperor  Vespasian,  and  was  about  forty  years  afterwards  connected 
with  tlie  Great  Wall  by  Hadrian,  its  builder,  and  thereupon  became  one 
of  the  stations  "  per  lineim  Valli."  The  wall  of  Hadrian  approaches  the 
station  of  Cilumum  at  its  eastern  and  western  fronts,  and  strikes  the 
vail  of  the  station  so  as  to  leave  about  71  }-ards  on  the  north,  and  115 
yards  on  the  south;  and  the  immediate  object  of  the  excavation  lately 
completed  M-as  to  investigate  the  point  of  junction  of  ttic  wall  of 
Hadrian  with  that  of  the  station  on  its  eastern  front.  After  the  removal 
of  the  soil  and  d^ris  which  had  accumulated  during  the  foiurtecn  cen-

tunes  nhicti  hnve  elapsed  since  the  Romans  ubandoned  Brititin,  tlie 
wall  of  the  station  was  found  standing  to  the  height  of  Eve  courses  of 
masonry,  whilst  the  Great  Walt  -vns  staodiiig  to  the  height  of  four 
courses.  The  two  blnictures  are  obviously  distinct  and  separate  worics  ; 
and  though  tliey  touch  eacli  other  there  is  no  intermixture  of  mawnry. 
With  respect  to  the  gates  of  tlie  station  of  Cilumum,  Mr.  Macl-auchlan 
makes  the  following  oliservation :— '  The  gates  in  the  north  ami  south 
fronts  appear  to  have  been  in  tiic  centre,  and  of  the  gates  in  the  otlier 
fronts  (Uie  east  and  the  west)  those  nearer  to  the  south  front  ore  op]K>- 
site  to  each  other  and  about  57  yards  from  that  frooL  Wc  could  see 
no  tiace  of  any  other  gales  in  these  fronts—  the  east  and  the  west— «ioie 
northerly,  and  the  wall  strikes  these  in  such  a  manner  that  if  the  gates 
were  placed  conformably  with  the  more  southern  onci,  they  would  be 
eutshii  the  wall;  hence  we  are  disposed  to  consider  that  there  was  only 
one  gate  in  each  fronL* — "  Memoir  by  Henry  MacI^ucULm,"  p.  27. 

"  If  the  station  of  Cilumum  and  the  wall  of  Hadrian  Iwd  been  con- 
temporaneous in  either  design  or  execution,  then  the  reasoning  of  Mr. 
Mai-U-iuchlan  against  the  existence  of  any  other  gates  in  the  east  and 
west  fronts  of  the  station  would  have  been  conclusive,  for  they  would 
then  have  been  placed  outride  the  shelter  of  the  great  walL 

"The  eastern  gateway,  the  site  of  which  (57  yards  from  the  south 
frontj  was  pointed  out  by  Mr.  MacI-aur.hUn,  was  shortly  afterwards 
excavated,  and  was  found  to  be  a  single  gateway,  up  to  which  was  traced 
the  road  lca<iing  fiotn  the  Koman  bridge  over  tl«  North'TjTie. 

"  The  recent  excavation  having  been  continued  for  a  short  distance 
aorthwanl,  along  tlie  face  of  the  wall  of  the  station  (outside  the  wall  of 
Hadrian),  the  excavators  came  upon  the  remains  of  a  massive  double 
gateway,  tlius  disclosing,  contrary  to  the  expectation  of  Mr.  Macl-auchlan, 
*  another  ^teway  confoimably  to  the  more  southern  one,  and  conse- 
quently outside  the  Roman  WalL' 

"  The  sLition  of  Cilumum,  therefore,  like  the  station  of  Amboglanna, 
has  six  gates,  each  of  those  stations  having  two  gates  on  the  cast  and 
west  fronts— one  of  them  a  single  gate,  and  the  other  a  double  gate. 
The  very  clear  and  minute  account  of  the  excai'ation  of  the  north- 
eastern gate  of  .Amboglanna,  by  Mr.  Henry  Crlasford  Potter,  in  the  year 
1852,  published  in  the  fourth  vohime  of  the  '  Archicologia  .'Eliana,' 
p.  i^r,  supplies  many  points  of  resembl.ince  between  the  t«-o  stations, 
both  of  which  obviously  existed  before  the  Roman  Wall. 

"  Both  these  sutions  were  placed  on  Roman  road-s  formed  anterior 
lo  the  Wall — the  station  of  Cilumum  on  the  Roman  road,  to  which,  in 
modem  times,  h.is  been  given  the  name  of  the  Stonegate,  leading  from 
Watling  street  to  the  Roman  road,  designated  as  the  Maidcnway,  at  ihe 
station  of  .Magna,  and  hence  continued  in  conjunction  with  the  MaidL-n- 
way  to  Amboglanna.  The  gateway  is  set  back  five  feet  from  the  wall 
of  the  fiUtion ;  the  opening  in  which  it  is  placed  Js  28  feet  3  inches 
in  width,  and  the  guardrooms  on  each  side  of  the  gateway  measure 
■3  feet  g  inches  by  i ;  feet,  and  are  of  larger  dimensions  than  the  guard- 
nwms  at  the  gateways  of  any  of  the  sutions  on  the  Roman  Wall  that 
have  yet  been  excavated.  One  of  the  pillars  of  the  gateway  was  found 
standing  at  its  full  height  The  wall  of  one  of  the  guanlruoms  stands 
to  the  height  of  eleven  courses  of  masonry,  and  the  station  wall  at  the

point  to  wMch  ihc  cxca%'ation  has  been  continiicti  is  standing  to  the 
licight  of  seven  courses  of  masonr)'.  On  the  sill  of  the  gateway  were 
found  pivot  holes  for  the  gates ;  hut  at  an  early  period  of  Roman  occu- 
pation the  floor  seems  to  have  been  raised  rather  more  tlun  a  foot,  pro- 
bably foe  the  purpose  of  clearing  the  top  of  a  drain  from  the  Ktaiion 
wliich  is  canied  througli  the  gateway  ;  and  stones  with  pivot  holes  have 
keen  placed  ou  the  original  stones  at  a  subsequent  ]>enod  ;  thu  outside 
ojicnings  of  the  gate\\'ay  have  been  built  up  widi  solid  masonry-,  and  t 
space  behind  them,  as  well  as  the  Hoors  of  the  guardrooms,  filled  wi 
stones,  mortar,  and  rubbish,  and  a  new  floor  laid  about  four  icct  abo' 
the  original  floor. 

*'  One  of  the  hvc  openings  of  each  of  the  four  gateways  of  the  station 
of  Borrovicus  has  keen  built  up,  which  has  been  assumed  to  have  been 
done  by  the  Romans,  as  their  garrisons  grew  weaker,  and  their  pow 
mraned.  In  the  present  r.isc  both  opem»ss  have  been  substantially  bui 
up,  and  the  presumption  is  that  the  Wall  of  Hadrian  having  intemipt 
ihe  communicarion  between  this  gateway  and  the  Bridge  of  Ciiura 
it  had  become  useless,  the  gate  in  the  northern  finnt  of  the  stall 
affording  ample  means  of  communication,  whether  hostile  or  otherwi 
with  the  countr>-  of  the  Picts  to  the  North.  The  coins  which  have 
unearthed  by  these  operations  nre  altogether  imperial  coins,  rangii^ 
from  Trajan  to  Valerian.  \N'iTh  a  few  exceptions  in  silver,  the  whole  are 
of  brass.  On  the  floor  of  the  later  period  <that  of  Hadrian)  was  found 
a  ubict  inscribed  to  his  immediate  successor,  Antoninus  Pius.  The  stone 
lias  been  broken,  but  enough  remains  to  render  the  whole  legible,  widi 
the  exception  of  the  number  aod  vtylc  of  the  legion,  which  are  supplied 
with  sufficient  certainty  from  other  sources.     The  letters  stand  thus : — 

lMP-C.tS-T[lt>-*l- 
10  -  HAUR  -  ANIONI 
NO  -  AVG  -  PIO  -  I'P 
COS  ■  LEG  -  II   AVG  -  P 

which  being  extended  read,  *  Imperatori  Caesari  Tito  JSXiq  Hadriano 
Antonino  Augusto  Pio  Patri  Patrix  Consuli  Legio  Sccunda  Augusta 
Posuit.' 

'•  The  minor  antiquities  disclosed  by  these  operations  are  of  the 
character  usually  found  on  the  sites  of  Koman  occupation  :  they  consist 
of  large  quantities  of  horns  and  lK>nes  of  deer  and  cattle,  oyster  shells, 
orfragmeiils  of  glass  both  of  vessels  and  windows,  quantities  of  potter)', 
chicHy  Saniian  ware,  adding  to  the  number  of  potters'  names  found  on 
the  Wall.  .Amongst  them  i.s  a  portion  of  a  bowl  of  embossed  fiamian 
ware  of  unusual  type ;  and  on  the  rim  of  one  vessel  a  Roman  soldier  has 
asserted  his  right  of  property  by  incising  the  name  of  Varius.  There 
haw  been  found  two  seals  separated  from  their  settings — the  one  a 
(■amelian  stone,  on  which  is  a  figure  of  Mercurj-,  and  the  other  of  jasper, 
on  which  is  the  figure  of  a  Roman  soldier  ;  and  in  the  works  of  the  early 
period  was  dug  up  mineral  coal,  showing  that  the  Rontons  had  dis- 
tcH-ered  at  an  early  period  of  their  occu])ation  that  in  Northumberland 
Hicrc  was  beneath  the  surface  -.\  material  calculated  to  mollify 
climate."

MACA2INE. 

Cum&erlaHJ.—T>t.  Bruce  announces  the  discovery  of  Roman  founda- 
tions at  Nether  Denton,  about  two  rotlcs  south  of  th«  Roman  Wall, 
nearly  opposite  Lanercost.  They  were  brought  to  light  by  the  rector, 
the  Rev.  T.  Trafford  Shipnian,  while  building  on  a  plot  of  ground 
marked  in  the  Ordnance  m.ip  (with  questionable  correctness)  Ah  the  site 
of  a  camp,  Dr.  Bruce  could  trace  the  lines  of  walls  and  those  unmis- 
takeable  appearances  in  the  ground  whidi  denote  the  remains  of  build- 
ings. All  sorts  of  speculations  have  been  made  as  to  the  actual  character 
of  these  remains,  and  the  object  of  the  camp,  if  a  camp  it  were  ;  but  the 
pickaxe  and  the  spade,  those  truthful  expositors  of  the  buried  mysteries 
of  the  past,  woukl  do  more  in  one  day  to  determine  the  real  nature  of 
the  place  than  an  age  of  conjectures  based  on  outward  appearunccii. 

At  some  litUe  distance  from  this  supposed  carap,  at  the  base  of  the 
hiU,  Mr.  Shipman  has  made  further  discoveries,  which  go  towards 
indicating  the  establishment  of  residences  over  a  considerable  period. 
Dr.  Bruce  obscn'cs : — "  1  cannot  suggest  a  better  theory  than  that  the 
spot  has  been  a  burial  ground ;  but  the  quantity  of  articles  found  in  it 
belonging  to  the  abodes  of  living  men  seems  rather  inconsistent  with 
this  idea.  The  quantity  of  the  remains  found  in  so  small  a  si^ot  is  quite 
remarkable.  The  quality  of  them  also  struck  me ;  they  seemed  to 
indicate  that  the  Romans  located  in  this  vicinity  were  richer  and  of  more 
luxurious  habits  than  those  living  in  the  central  and  eastern  districts  of 
the  Wall  Several  coins  have  been  found.  Amongst  them  are  four 
denarii ;  one  I  take  to  be  a  Grecian  coin ;  another  is  a  family  coin  of  the 
Petilia  family;  a  third  has  not  been  made  out;  the  fourth  is  a  &lsc  coin 
of  Doroitian.  Most  of  the  brass  coins  are  too  much  corroded  to  admit 
of  recognition  ;  amongst  them,  however,  arc  three  of  Trajan.  So  far  as 
these  coins  go,  they  are  quite  consbtcnt  with  a  period  of  occupation 
equivalent  to  that  of  the  early  part  of  Hadrian's  rei/fn.  Some  exceed- 
ingly fine  bowls  of  Samian  ware  have  been  found.  There  are  specimens 
of  Caistot  ware  and  other  kinds  of  pottery ;  some  monaria  and  frag- 
ments of  glass  bottles  of  the  usual  s-juare  shape  and  green  colour;  and 
6ve  large  green  glass  beads.  Amongst  the  remains  were  the  fragments 
of  several  wine  amphonc.  The  only  use  these  could  be  of  in  a  burying- 
ground  would  be  to  hold  the  ashes  of  the  individuals  who  perhaps  had 
themselves  imbibed  tlieir  previous  contents.  The  most  curious  earthen- 
ware utensil  which  I  noticed  was  one  that  had  a  perforateti  strainer 
placed  in  front  of  the  spoul,  out  of  which  the  liquid  was  intended  to  be 
poured  or  sucked.  I  have  seen  none  like  it  I  noriccd  portions  of  three 
millstones  formed  of  Aiidcrnach  stone.  The  mcl-iilic  remains  found  are 
con»i<lerabte.  There  is  a  small  bronze  cylinder,  apparently  inteuded  for 
some  other  use,  but  which  appears  to  have  been  pressed  into  6ervice  as 
a  lamp.  It  is  about  half  full  of  a  wax-like  substance,  witli  a  cotton  wick 
in  the  centre.  Can  it  be  of  the  same  age  as  the  other  articles  f  There 
is  an  iron  vessel  of  llic  shape  of  a  Roman  Uuip,  but  of  larger  size.  I 
do  not  remember  ever  seeing  an  iron  lamp  ;  and  Mr.  C.  Roach  Smith 
suggests  to  me  (which  I  have  no  doubl  is  the  correct  view)  that  it  is  a

randelabnira— a  receptacle  for  the  common  earthenware  lamp,  which 
has  been  suspended  from  the  roof  or  side  of  the  house.  Several  nails 
have  been  found,  portions  of  bits,  a  prick  spur,  several  knives,  spear- 
heads, and  3  mason's  chisel.  There  is  one  curious  implement  which  I 
never  sciw  before  amongst  Roman  remains — an  instrument  five  incjies 
long,  ha\'ing  at  one  extremity  a  receptacle  for  a  wooden  handle,  and 
tenninating  at  the  other  in  three  whirls  like  a  modem  corkscrew.  'ITiere 
arc  also  two  formidable  instruments  which  look  uncommonly  like  fetter- 
locks." 

Middlesex. — The  Roman  marble  sarcophagus  found  at  Clapton,  and] 
remarked  on  in  a  recent  number  of  The  Gentleman's  Mag.\zine,  was' 
the  subject  of  discussion  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  Ix>ndon  and  Middle-) 
sex  Archxological  Society.     Mr.  Clarke  read  a  paper  on  the  subject,! 
particularly  referring  to  the  site  of  the  interment,  as  being  evidently . 
close  to  a  point   where  two  ancient  ways  met,  perhaps  crossed  each 
other,  observing  that  where  the  causeway  in  a  Ime  with  Clapton  alle)', 
and  that  from  Brookshy-walk,  Homerton,  meet,  tlie  latter  posses  in  du*^ 
north-^ast  half  a  mi)c  further  in  a  straij^ht  line,  until  it  reaches  the  banks) 
of  the  river   Lea  at  a  point  which,  a  hundred  years  ago,  was  the  Lea-! 
bridge  river  head.     He  proceeded  to  say  that  he  had  followed  the 
course  of  the  farm  road  from  Cinptoii  alley,  passing  from  west  to  east, 
and  then  took  up  the  line  on  the  other  side  of  the  Lea  navigation  cut ; 
thence  an  eastern  course  brouglu  him  to  a  remarkable  spot  on  the 
river's  bank,  known  as  the  boys'  bathiug-place,  where  the  bottom  con- 
sists of  a  liard  smooth  material,  ami  grey  sand,  unlike  the  general  river 
bed — a  contrast  which  evidently  indicated  the  existence  of  a  ford  in 
ancient  times. 

Mr.  John  K  Price  said  that  the  locality  wa.s  not  generally  thought  to 
have  been  productive  of  Roman  antifiuitict ;  but  he  instauccd  the  dis- 
covery, in  1814,  near  Springficl<l-lanc,  Clapton,  of  stone  coflins  and 
other  relics  of  antiquity,  some  sixty  feet  above  the  level  of  the  tnarsh, 
and  also  in  1849,  at  ShnibIan<]-road,  Dalston,  Roman  British  |>ottcry 
had  been  found.  Both  places  are  not  far  distant  from  the  site  of  the 
sarcophagus,  on  the  rising  groimd  sloping  clown  to  the  manshes  on  the 
Lea  bamc,  and  flanked  by  the  great  Roman  road  which  ran  in  a 
line  from  Old-street,  Shoreditch,  Bcthnal-green,  along  wliat  is  still 
called  the  Roman  road,  to  Old  Ford,  and  so  on  into  Essex.  He 
referred  at  length  to  the  design  upon  the  coffin,  the  tlutings, 
pilasters,  the  bust  and  the  inscription,  with  reflections  suggested  by 
the  alwcncc  of  the  lid,  i>roceeding  to  mark  the  contrast  with  the 
sarcophagus  from  Ilaydon-square,  found  some  years  since,  those 
from  York  and  other  parts  of  England,  with  particular  reference  to 
examples  from  East  Ham,  Essex,  and  others  lately  from  Old  Ford,  ex- 
hibiting, by  the  kind  permission  of  Mr.  Mathews,  Resident  Engineer, 
Broad-strcct  station,  an  interesting  collection  of  cinerary  urns,  patent 
and  other  Roman  remains.  Mr.  Price  further  described  such  fragments 
of  marble  sculpture  as  have  been  found  in  tliis  country,  remarking  on 
the  interest  attaching  to  the  present  find,  from  the  (act  of  its  being 
quite  unique,  llicrc  not  ap[>e3ring  to  be  any  recorded  example  of  a 
marble  9arcophagu<>  l>eing  found  m  Britain,  tliough  Sequent  enough

abroad ;  aad  gave  copious  references  to  articles  in  the  *'  Collectanea 
Antiqua,"  bearinR  on  the  subject.  He  then  compared  specimens  ex- 
bomed  from  the  catacombs  at  Rome,  showing  that  from  Clapton  to  be 
but  a  variation  of  a  well-known  fonn,  and  that  while  it  was  possible  for 
it  to  have  been  wrought  in  this  country,  it  was  likely  to  be  of  foreign 
workmanship,  brought  over  probably  by  the  individual  himself  for  whom 
it  was  intended,  doubtless  a.  wealthy  man,  as  evidcnfcd  by  the  costly 
character  of  his  tomb. 

Mr.  Alfred  White  made  some  remarks  on  the  locality,  and  also  on 
the  character  of  the  marble  in  which  the  sarcophagus  was  vrotigbl ; 
but  it  does  not  appear  whether  the  geologists  who  had  examined  it 
have  decided  whether  it  be  Parian  or  from  one  of  the  quarries  in 
Caul ;  and  Mr.  H.  \V.  King  communicated  particulars  of  interest  con- 
nected with  excavations  that  were  made  some  time  since  in  Old^lrect- 
road  for  the  North  Mid-Level  Sewer,  'ITie  account,  which  had  been 
prepared  by  Mr.  J.  W,  Jtutlcr,  carefully  recorded  the  levels  of  the  various 
strata,  the  class  of  objects  found  at  each  depth  down  to  the  lowest, 
which  yielded  Roman  remains. 

Tlie  Rev.  Thoma*  Hugo  introduced,  with  an  interesting  account  of 
his  life  and  epi»cof)acy,  a  maiid;Ue  of  Boniface  of  Sa*'oy,  uncle  of 
Eleanor.  Queen  of  Henry  [II.,  to  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  St  Paul's, 
announcing  his  intention  to  hold,  and  commanding  their  presence  at,  a 
visitation  in  their  churth,  on  Thursday  next,  Iiefore  the  Feast  of  St. 
Mary  Magdalen,  dated  from  Lambeth,  ijlh  July,  1253.  The  document 
is  perfect,  and  bears  the  seal  of  the  Archbishop.  Mr.  Hugo  gave  a 
most  amusing  account  of  the  treatment  of  the  sub-prior  and  canons  ot 
St.  Rirtholomcw's,  Smithfiehl,  by  this  pugilistic  archbishop.  Upon  his 
\-isiting  the  monaster}*  to  niakc  a  vi.sitation,  they  received  hini  with 
every  kindness,  but  refused  to  acknowledge  his  authority.  Whereupon, 
as  records  stale,  the  archbishop  proceeded  to  deliver  his  fist  upon  the 
foce  of  the  unfortunate  sub-prior,  who  received  such  severe  chastisi:- 
ment  that  he  never  recovered. 

Kent. — In  The  Centleman's  RLagazine  for  April,  1867,  I  gave  an 
account  of  the  discover)-  uf  two  Roman  Icuden  colilins,  near  Milton-next- 
Stltingboume.  I  have  now  to  report  that  a  third  has  just  been  found, 
and  has  been  secured  by  Mr.  Alfred  JortLin,  upon  whose  pro]icTty  it  w.i.s 
dug  up.  The  spot  where  these  rare  and  interesting  rcmams  were  found 
is  a  field,  or  open  ground,  called  Bcxhill,  to  the  cast  of  Milton.  Here 
the  high  land  slopes  down  towards  the  creek,  and  the  more  derated 
part  is  the  site  of  these  interments. 

This  coffin  is  6  ft.  5  in.  in  length,  and  2  ft.  :o  in.  wide  ;  and  it  is 
formed  as  the  Roman  leaden  coffins  usually  are,  of  a  large  sheet  of 
thick  metal  folded  up  to  form  the  sides,  with  separate  pieces  for  the 
head  and  foot  welded  on ;  the  cover  laps  slightly  over,  Jt  is  rather 
richly  ornamented  with  a  beaded  pattern  (the  beads  arc  divided  by 
transverse  bars),  which  runs  along  the  borders  and  encloses  compart- 
ments along  the  sides  and  at  the  head  and  fool  of  the  same  design 
arranged  crossways,  with  a  medallion  in  each  quarter  of  the  cross.  The 
lead  is  very  solid,  and  pronounced  by  the  plumbers  to  be  of  excellent 
quality.     The  earliest  account  to  which  I  can  refer  of  the  discovery  of

BFXGIUM. 

Satgnes. — The  church  of  Soignes  possesses  three  ancient  shrines  ;  oH 
■which,  the  first  is  said  to  conlam  the  body  of  St  Vincent ;  the  second, 
his  head;  and  the  third,  the  body  of  his  son,  St  Landry.  Tlie  first 
two,  in  copper  gill,  have  been  described  by  Du  Sollicr,  in  1735,  and 
afterwards  by  Chcscjuiercs,,  who  has  given  a  representation  of  it  in  the 
Mia  SiouivTum  Belgiiy  The  third  possesses  no  artistic  merit ;  but  in 
it  have  been  found  a  quantity  of  aticient  stuffs,  among  which  is  a  frag- 
ment of  tapcsir)'  worked  hy  the  needle,  which,  in  some  details,  has  been 
compared  to  that  at  Bayeux,  of  world  wide  celebrity.  The  Royal 
Commissions  of  Art  and  Archxoto^y  have  issued  an  engraving  of  llus 
fragment*  to  illustrate  a  report  on  it  liy  Canon  Voisio. 

Thin  tapestry  has  two  compartments  of  designs.  In  the  lower  is  a 
long  procession  of  male  figures,  dra])ed  in  coloured  vestments,  which 
descend  to  the  knees.  They  would  seem  to  be  walking  in  a  covered 
place,  probably  cloisters,  a.s  they  arc  divided  into  groups  of  three,  by 
what  seem  to  be  twisted  columns.  The  right  arm  of  each  is  close  to 
the  body,  the  hand  extended  horizontally  from  the  breast;  but,  in  one 
instince  only,  it  is  raised,  as  if  in  the  act  of  blessing.  They  arc  all  nearly 
of  equal  height,  cvceplnig  one  ui  the  fifth  group,  who  is  a  head  taller

of  which  stands  an  angel  or  winged  figure;  bctn-een  these  medallions 
aie  birds  on  the  wing,  and  hands  extended  upwards,  the  palms  fronting 
the  spectator.  The  colours  used  in  the  rarious  figure;)  are  red,  blue, 
green,  yellow,  and  white. 

The  upeatrics,  Canon  Voisin  suggests,  with  reason,  were  used  foc 
coveting  these  shrines ;  and  he  is  disposed  to  view  in  the  procession  a. 
representation  of  the  tmnstation  of  the  remains  of  St.  Vincent  in  876, 
and  fifty  years  afterwards,  to  Mons  for  protection  against  the  Northmen, 
The  anniversaries  of  these  translations  are  still  celebrated  at  Soignci 
In  the  busts  of  the  seven  medallions  he  is  inclined  to  recognise  per- 
sonages of  the  family  of  St  Vincent,  honoured  as  saints.  It  is  worthy 
of  remark  that  the  central  biLst  is  front-faced,  and  the  faces  of  the  others 
on  the  right  and  left  arc  turned  towards  it.  In  cxpl.inalion  of  the 
details,  it  is  possible  the  Abbd  Voisin  attaches  too  much  local  significa- 
tion to  them.  •  He,  for  example,  would  cxpLtin  the  hand  in  reference  to 
a  legend  which  relates  how  an  oti[>ressor  extending  his  hand  over  the 
relics  of  St.  Vincent  in  the  act  of  swearing,  had  both  hand  and  arm 
withered  until  he  repented.  The  procession  is  probably  that  of  the 
transportation  of  relics  j  and  the  busts  may  denote  the  family  of  the 
chief  personage ;  the  rest,  the  angels,  birds  and  lunds,  may  be  merely 
accessories  to  give  a  sacred  character  and  impressiveness  to  the  scenew 
As  an  old  Fa^an  s)'mbol,  the  hand  extended  denoted  Uberality.  Oa 
coins  of  Constantine  and  of  later  emperors,  the  hand  indicates  the  hand 
of  providence ;  and  such,  in  this  insunce,  it  is  probably  to  be  inter- 
preted. The  birds,  though  more  like  peacocks  or  pheasants,  may  be 
intended  for  doves.  The  position  of  the  angel  recalls  that  of  the 
winged  \nrtoTy  so  common  on  the  coins  of  the  Lower  Empire ;  and 
in  the  whole  of  the  upper  compartment  of  this  tapestry  there  is  a  de- 
based classical  character,  which  goes  far  to  give  it  a  date  even  anterior 
to  what  Canon  Voisin  would  claim  for  it,  namely,  the  irth  or  early  part 
of  the  latb  century. 

FUmalU  mar  Lir^e. — A  dedicatory  Inscription  of  local  interest,  found 
at  the  close  of  the  16th  century,  has  only  just  been  brought  to  light  It 
was  found  in  a  miscellaneous  MS.  collection  at  Utrecht,  by  Professor 
Qranbach ;  and  the  Royal  Commissions  have  published  it,  with  reinarkf 
by  M.  Schuermans. 

It  is  defective  as  regards  the  name  of  the  dedicator,  and  the  position 
he  held ;  but  in  other  respects  it  is  .sufhciently  cleai  to  be  read  as 
follows,  with  extensions  of  a  few  of  the  words : —

Physkal  Sei^uf.— Some  months  ago  Professor  Hoek,  of  Utrecht 
made  known  some  curious  in%-estigntions  upon  the  nature  of  cotoetary 
orbits,  which  had  led  him  to  the  conclusion  that  the  orbits  of  certain 
comets  have  common  intersecting  points  in  space,  and  hence  that  Ihc 
comets  so  meeting  have  had  some  community  of  origin.  Continuing 
hit  researches  on  the  subject,  he  has  lately  found  tluit  the  orbit  of  the 
last  discovered  comet,  the  third  of  1S67,  and  those  of  the  third  and  ^fth 
comets  of  1857,  cross  each  other  at  one  point  common  to  all  three 
orbits ;  he  therefore  inters  that  these  three  bodies  belong  to  one 
system. — The  literature  of  sun-spots  is  about  to  receive  an  important 
aciiuisition  in  the  shape  of  a  volume  emlxxlying  the  results  of  all  the 
observations  uf  these  phenomena  hitherto  made  with  the  photo-helio- 
graph at  the  Kcw  Observatory.  We  may  reasonably  expect  some 
additions  to  our  scanty  knowledjjc  of  the  sun's  constitution  to  come 
from  this  mine  of  nuterials.— The  numerous  records  of  renuubible 
meteors  and  fireballs  that  exist  do  not  offer  many  instances  of  these 
bodies  coming  into  close  proximity  to  the  earth  in  their  burning  state. 
Dr.  Collingwood,  however,  thinks  that  he  has  found  one  well  authenti- 
cated case  of  such  a  near  encounter.  One  evening,  in  1846,  a  lady.  Dr. 
Collingu-ood's  informer,  was  in  the  ship  Manoek,  on  the  Rangoon  River, 
when  a  tremendous  sheet  of  light  appeared  to  rush  in  a  horizontal 
direction  across  the  bows  of  the  vessel :  it  was  not  like  Ughlnjnjj,  but 
presented  the  aspect  of  a  mass  of  thick  red  flame.  A  temporary  heat 
was  felt  as  the  &eiy  mas.-j  }Ki»scd  by,  and  a  sulphurous  smell  was  eiipc- 
rienccd  :  there  was  no  noise  whatever.  On  shore  the  heal  was  felt  by 
some  people  within  doors,  but  no  light  was  seen. — Professor  Maico 
Felice,  of  Turin,  in  a  communication  to  the  French  Academ)  of 
Sciences,  explains  the  well  cstablisJied  influence  of  the  moon  on  Ibc 
earth's  magnetism  by  the  assumption  lliat  the  light  of  the  sun  is  of 
electric  origin  and  in  an  electro-positive  slate,  while  the  moon  is,  by 
induction,  electro-negative  on  the  side  luiued  lo«-3rds  the  sun  aod 
electro- positive  on  the  other  side.  Sig.  Felice  does  not  stop  at  terres- 
trial magnetism,  but  appbes  his  thcoty  to  the  alleged  influences  of  the 
moon  on  the  earth's  atmosphere.  Here  are  two  more  items  of  evidence 
for  and  against  these  alU-ged  intluences.  Mr.  Park  Harrison  read  before 
the  last  meeting  of  the  Royal  Astronomical  Soclet)*  a  paper,  in  which

he  :^K>«retI  that  when  the  pan  of  the  moon  turned  tovards  the  eanh  has 
been  for  a  long  time  exposed  to  the  sun  it  radiates  wannth,  which 
lightens  or  eva}wnUcs  the  higher  douds  of  our  atmosphere,  and  thus 
permits  the  earth's  heat  to  escape  into  space;  the  consequence  being 
a  diminution  of  the  temperature  when  the  moon  is  wannest  on  the  side 
lacing  the  earth,  or  at  third  quarter.  A  collection  of  temperature 
records  confirms  his  iheor)-.  There  is  a  popular  belief  that  more  rain 
fells  at  the  changes  of  the  moon  than  on  other  days  of  lunation,  Mr, 
Hennessey,  of  the  Indian  Survey,  negatives  this  opinion  in  a  paper  sent 
to  the  Royal  Society,  in  which  he  shows,  from  a  labulalion  of  the 
registers  of  rain-fall  kept  for  thirteen  years  at  Mussoorie,  that  while  the 
mean  daily  fall  at  changes  of  the  moon  is  0*466  of  an  inch,  the  daily 
fall  l>etwcen  the  changes  is  0-525  of  an  inch.— The  increased  irafik  ia 
the  strccLs  of  Paris  has  spoilt  the  position  of  the  Observatory  there,  by 
rendering  impossible  the  delicate  obserx-ntions  upon  which  the  accuracy 
of  astronomical  instruments  depends;  and  the  increased  consumption 
of  coals  in  the  city  lias  so  vitiated  the  atmosphere  that  the  observer* 
cannot  use  the  full  powers  of  their  instruments.  It  has,  therefore,  beea 
proposed  to  ntove  the  Observatory  to  Fontenoy-aux-Roees,  and  the  sub* 
ject  of  removal  has  been  wamiLy  discussed  at  the  Academy  of  ScienceSi 
without  result  at  present,  for  verily  "  there  is  much  to  be  said  on  both 
side*."  Since  moving  the  building  means  moving  the  meridian,  it  is  no 
iigiit  matter.- — liy  the  Ubcrality  of  an  amateur,  M.  Dolfiis  Assuet,  a 
Meteorological  Obscrvatorj-  is  to  be  fitted  up  on  the  summit  of  Mont 
fiianc  for  the  pur|>o5e  of  securing  a  weather  record  during  the  summer 
months :  the  great  elevation  will  prevent  the  observations  being  con> 
tinued  throughout  the  year. 

Geoldgy. — More  earthf|uakes  !  At  St  Thomas  they  were  for  a  time 
of  almost  daily  occurrence;  in  America,  on  the  t8th  of  December, 
se\-crc  shocks  were  felt  over  a  large  territory  ;  and  even  in  England  we 
have  not  been  quite  free,  for  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  the  county  of 
Somerurt  was  disturbed  by  a  shock  whiclx,  judging  from  the  reports, 
even  after  making  allowance  for  some  reasonable  exaggeration,  must 
have  been  a  smart  one,  though  not  suDicicntly  so  to  injure  life  or  pn> 
pcrly. — The  citizens  of  Leon,  in  Nicaragua,  have  been  frightened  by  the 
breaking  out  of  a  number  of  volcanic  tires  near  the  base  of  the  extinct ' 
volcano,  Kota,  the  middle  of  the  plutonian  chain  which  nms  from  the 
I -"ike  of  Managua  to  the  Volcano  el  Viejo.  So  bright  was  the  blaze 
from  these  veuts  that  it  lit  up  the  towers  of  the  cathedral  in  Leon,  ten 
miles  distant — llie  eruption  of  Vesunus  has  continued  with  vigour  in- 
creased  rather  than  abated,  and  it  shoivs  no  present  sign  of  diminution. 
Professor  Palmieri  has  se\'eral  times  reported  the  eruption  to  be  on  the 
decline;  but  the  lulls  that  led  him  to  this  opinion  seem  to  have  been 
only  moments  of  repose  between  successive  convulsions  of  increaung 
intensity.  The  inhabitants  of  the  villages  on  the  mountain  have  be- 
come terrified,  and  in  many  cases  have  left  their  homes,  or  dispatched 
their  valuables  to  a  distance,  in  ca.sc  sudden  flight  should  become  neces- 
sary ;  for  they  who  have  lived  all  ihcir  lives  beneath  (he  shadows  of  the 
crater  say  that  the  eruption  will  terminate  with  a  grand  and  terrible 
finale.      Ihe  abnormal  activity  of  the  \-olcanic  life  of  the  earth  at  pre-

sent  manifesting  itself  prompts  speculative  minds  to  wonder  whether  wc 
are  not  on  the  eve  of  another  of  those  great  geological  thangcs  that  in 
bygone  ages  huve  convulsed  the  world. — M.  Hagcman  has  lately  dis* 
co\'ercd  two  new  minerals  accompanying  crj-olite,  which  he  has  named 
rcspecliNcly  dimefnc lni<hnc^iiu  and  arksutiU.  The  first  is  described  as 
resembling  the  jiadmulitc  found  by  M.  Knoss:  it  occurs  in  prisms  on 
qundmngular  jiyraniiiis.  cleavable  in  the  direction  of  the  base,  of  a 
pinkish  while  colour,  and  very  brilliant :  its  density  is  from  2*74  to 
a76,  and  its  hardness  the  same  as  crj-olite.  The  arksutite  is  gninu- 
hir,  white  and  crjsralline,  and,  like  the  other  mineral,  vcrj-  brilliant. 
Its  density  is  from  3-03  to  3't7,  and  hardness  equal  to  cryolite;  it  fuses 
at  a  dull  red  heat.  Both  these  minerals  ornir  at  ArksutFiord,  in  South 
Greenland,  and  arc  probably  the  result  of  the  decomposition  of  cryolite. 
— A  correspondent  of  the  Scimiifii  Amfruan  says  that  at  the  village  of 
Decoiah,  near  the  northern  boundary  of  the  State  of  Iowa,  there  is  a 
Cftve  where  the  operations  of  nature  are  reversed  :  it  is  cold  in  summer, 
and  warm  in  winter.  Icicles,  from  four  to  eight  feet  long  and  six  to 
eight  inches  in  diameter,  are  gathered  in  July.  The  ice  disappears  as 
autumn  comes,  and  from  September  x.a  June  none  is  to  he  found  The 
cave  has  been  known  for  about  twenty  years ;  but  no  explanation  of  its 
curious  phenomena  has  heen  given. 

Gaigraphy. — At  the  Geographical  Society,  on  January  13,  At.  I,ucien 
de  Puydt  communicated  the  scientific  results  of  two  explorations  he  had 
made,  in  tS6i  and  1S65,  in  the  interior  of  the  Isthmus  of  I>aricn, 
having  for  object  the  discover)'  of  a  practicable  line  for  a  ship  canal 
from  ocean  to  ocean.  He  first  directed  his  attention  to  the  routes  fol- 
lowed by  Captain  Prevost,  Mr.  Gisbome,  and  others  ;  ascending  the 
^i^'e^  Savannah,  and  crossing  to  the  confluence  of  the  Kio  dc  hi  Paz  and 
the  Chucunaque,  acquiring  the  conviction  of  the  impossibility  of  con- 
Glrucling  a  canal  In  this  direction  towards  Caledonia  Bay.  The  state- 
ments made  by  l>r.  Cullen  on  this  subject  he  ascertained  to  be  com- 
plcUrly  erroneous.  He  found,  moreover,  that  the  altitude  of  152  mitnt 
— on  which  was  built  a  host  of  projects  for  a  canal — was  founded  on  an 
erroneous  reading  of  the  tables  of  Colonel  Coda;!zi,  the  New  Granadian 
surveyor ;  this  altitude  being  given  as  ihat  of  a  village  on  the  road,  and 
notas  that  of  the  greatest  height  of  a  pass  in  the  mountains.  M.  de 
Puydt  afterwards  turned  south,  and  ascended  the  Tuyra  River  as  far  as 
Paya,  The  broken  nature  of  the  Andean  chain  there  gave  him  hopes  of 
finding  a  low  pass  ;  and  he  returned  to  Europe,  organised  a  new  expe- 
dition, and  penetrated  the  Isthmus  again  in  1865,  from  the  side  of  the 
Atlantic.  With  three  companions  and  a  party  of  eleven  labourers  he 
entered  the  river  Tanela,  north  of  the  delta,  of  the  .\trato,  and  sending 
away  his  vessel  to  cut  off  the  retreat  of  his  men,  he  opened  a  path 
through  the  forest,  and  on  the  25th  of  August  discovered  a  break  in  the 
mountain  chain,  having  an  altitude  of  only  110  feet  above  the  level  of 
the  sea.  His  observations  for  heights  were  taken  by  measuring  the 
velocity  of  current  of  a  river  which  flows  from  the  pass  to  the  sea.  The 
memoir  included  interesting  details  on  the  orography,  ethnology,  &c.,  of 
the  isthmus. — The  capuin  of  an  American  Whaler,  the  -AV/f,  wnting  in 
a  Honolulu  journal,  announces  that  he  recently  penetrated  as  far  jiocth

as  latitude  73°  30',  and  found  there  a  comparatively  summer  sea,  with 
land  beyond  of  mountainous  aspect  and  volcanic  character.  At  about 
longitude  180°  he  »aw  what  lie  conceived  to  be  an  extinct  volcano, 
which  he  estimated  at  about  3000  feet  high.  C."\iJt;iin  I^ng  sailed 
several  days  along  the  coast,  a[>i)roaching  within  fifcucn  miles  of  the 
Bhore.  The  lower  lands  appeared  tu  be  covered  with  vegetation.^ 
M*  Lambert,  in  France,  continues  his  endeavours  to  sustain  the  public 
[intercst  in  his  projiosetl  Arctic  expedition,  and  Captain  Shcrard  Osborne, 
BJixious  that  English  ships  and  explorers  should  be  doing  somethin;;, 
repeats  his  proposals  for  a  simitar  voyage.  —  Mr.  McChcsncy,  formerly 
United  States  Consul  at  Newcastle,  now  a  Professor  in  the  Chicago 
University,  lately  address&l  the  Lyceum  of  Natural  Hisior)*  at  New 
York  upon  the  Antiquicv  of  Man,  and  detailed  his  observations 
gleaned  during  visits  to  the  different  localities  in  Europe  where  evi- 
dences of  man's  antiquity  have  chiefly  been  found.  His  examinations 
led  him  to  tix  the  age  of  the  human  race  as  far  greater  than  the  gene- 
rally assigned  six  thousand  years.  In  particular  he  referred  to  the 
implements  found  tn  the  drill  stratification  on  the  banks  of  the  Tiber 
as  affonling  evidence  of  llic  higher  antiquity.  The  boulders  and  pebbles 
forming  this  drift  arc  derived  entirely  (roni  the  Apcnnine  mountains  ;  no 
trace  exists  in  it  of  the  l^tin  mountains — a  chain  now  lying  intemiediale 
between  tlie  Tiber  and  the  Apennines.  Far  above  tlie  drift  is  a  layer 
.of  volcanic  tufa,  derived  from  the  latter  chain,  and  this  forms  the 
'foundation  for  towns  which  existed  long  before  the  building  of  Rome. 
Dating  from  the  latter  event,  fruLn  the  known  rate  of  disintegration  of 
the  rock  forming  this  foundation,  an  approximate  calculation  can  be 
«lc  as  to  the  ])enod  which  has  elajBcd  since  the  formation  of  the 
'Latin  hills,  from  which  it  tnay  be  inferred  that  six  thousand  year^  is  far 
too  limited  a  period  to  ascribe  to  the  time  of  man's  existence  upon 
eanh.^At  last  we  have  authentic  information  concerning  the  safety  of 
Lii-ingstonc,  the  best  that  can  be  cxpectc<l  till  the  traveller  himself 
comes  home  to  tell  us  of  his  adventures  and  achievements,  and  to  hear 
the  strange  stories  that  have  been  told  concerning  him.  The  search 
expedition  has  returned,  and  the  members  of  it  announce  that  they  are 
satisfied  that  Livingstone  w.is  not  murdered  as  the  Johanna  men  re- 
ported. He  did  not  take  the  route  expected,  from  the  Ruvuma  river^J 
at  about  11'  >i  along  the  north  tcist  of  I^kc  Nyat^sa,  in  from 
36"  to  34"  E.,  but  from  the  Ruvuma  went  south  round  the  sooth 
end  of  Lake  Nya&sa,  goin^  as  far  as  14"  18'  S.  Thence  he  proceeded 
to  the  northwest,  and  was  left  [jursuing  that  route,  either  with  the  view, 
of  exploring  the  west  coast  of  Lake  Nyassa,  and  thus  ascertaining  how  ; 
far  it  extends  north,  and  then  proceeding  on  to  Lake  Tanganyika,  or  he 
had  gone  direct  for  Tanganyika  and  thence  down  the  Nile  home. 
Mataka,  Makata,  Marenga,  and  Maksura,  mentioned  by  the  Johanna 
men.  were  found  on  the  southern  route  instead  of  the  northern.  The 
expedition  followed  Ur.  Livingstone  up  to  within  a  few  miles  ofj 
where  it  was  rejxjrted  he  was  murdered,  and  there  found  that  the  doctor 
and  his  "  boys  "  were  ferried  over  a  marshy  lake  by  Marenga,  hut  the 
Johanna  men  under  Moosa  made  a  detour  round  the  Ukc,  and  returned 
next  day  to  Marenga,  saying  they  had  deserted  Livingstone,  and  should 
return  to  the  coast,  because  he  was  leading  them  into  a  country  where

views with  the  nati^•c  porters  who  haxi  carried  Livingstone's  luggage  &vc 
daj's'  joumcy  further  to  Pasombe. 

Ettitriciiy. — An  ingenious  e)et:trica]  bullet  j)robe  has  been  inveoled 
by  Mr.  De  Wilde.  It  is  double  jmintcd,  and  from  ench  point  a  wire 
passes ;  in  the  circuit  of  the  wtrcit  lliere  are  placed  a  &maU  battery 
and  an  t:lcc-tric  bell.  Su  long  as  llie  points,  in  the  act  of  probing, 
come  only  against  Hesh  ur  bone,  no  current  passes;  but  when  they 
toucl]  tlie  bullet  a  metallic  circuit  is  completed,  anU  a  current  passes 
and  rings  the  bell.  For  extracting  the  bullet,  forceps  arc  nubstituted 
for  the  points :  labile  these  grip  the  bullet  a  current  passes,  but  if  they 
lose  their  hold  the  operator  leoms  the  fact  by  the  non-i>ass3ge  of  the 
current. — Mr.  Moses  G.  Farmer,  a  Boston  electrician,  lias  devised  an 
apparatus  for  converting  heat  into  eliCCtricitj-.  "All  that  is  necessary 
to  put  it  into  active  operation  is  to  light  a  gas  jet,  and  in  a  few  moments 
the  electrical  impulses  are  manifested,  and  the  battery  is  ready  to  be 
set  to  work.  It  deposits  mculs  with  great  facilily,  and  the  develop- 
ment of  the  agent  \i  constant  and  uniform  so  long  as  the  heat  is  sup- 
plied. It  resembles  a  '  fretted  porcupine '  as  much  as  anything  wc  can 
compare  it  with.  The  mcUiU  employed  in  its  construction  arc  antimony 
and  copper.  'Ilic  strips  or  .-iims  of  copper  protrude  outward  from  the 
bars  of  antimony,  so  .as  to  secure  the  cooling  influence  of  an  air  current, 
while  the  gas  is  heating  ilie  other  extremity.  A  portion  of  the  heat  is 
thus  transfonncd  over  into  electricity."  This  vague  description  i&  ad 
that  is  given  by  the  Bodan  Journal  of  Chtmistry. — According  to  the 
experiments  of  M.  Blomleau,  an  induction  current  produces  a  curious 
and  bene6ctal  action  on  plant  seeds.  Some  beans,  ]>caii,  and  cereal 
grains,  were  soaked  in  water  and  then  submitted  to  the  action  of  a 
current  during  sc\eral  minutes.  After  tills  they  were  planted  in  pots 
with  gooil  garden  earth,  and  unelectrified  seeds  were  similarly  sown  for 
comparison.  The  former  always  came  up  first  and  gave  much  more 
vigorous  plants  than  the  latter. — At  a  late  meeting  of  the  French 
Acidemy  of  Sciences,  M.  Deraance  rend  a  note  on  the  amalgamation  of 
iKiltety  jilates.  He  slated  that  it  is  quite  sufficient  to  place  mercury 
in  the  cell  without  actually  bringing  it  into  contact  with  the  zinc  ;  that 
the  metals  amalgamate  by  the  mere  action  of  the  current  without 
any  previous  conversion  of  the  mercury  into  a  salt ;  tliat,  in  lact, 
an  actual  transference  of  metallic  mercury  takes  place,  and  that  this 
is  only  eflTcclcd  under  the  inlluciice  of  tlie  current. — The  electrical 
jewels  of  M.  Trouvt  seem  to  have  been  for  a  time  the  delight  of 
fashionable  Paris.  These  trinkets  consist  chiefly  of  scarf-pins,  repre- 
senting heads  of  men  and  animals,  which  work  their  jaws  and  roll  their 
eyes,  automaton  soldiers  beating  drums,  rabbits  hammering  upon  lilUc 
bclLs,  and  jewelled  birds  that  flap  iheir  glittering  wings,  6:c.  They  are 
worked  by  means  of  tiny  electro  magnets  concealed  williin  the  article, 
and  connected  by  fine  wires  with  small  batteries  carried  in  the  pockets 
or  about  the  d^e^s  of  the  wearers.  A  scarf  pin,  with  the  motive  power 
complete,  costs  from  60  francs  upwards.— It  is  worth  noting  that  the 
London  newspapers  of  the  14th  of  January  for  the  first  time  included 
in  the  weather  reports  furnished  by  the  Meteorological  Office  the  readings

Chemistry. — At  a  time  like  the  present,  when  the  science  of  heat  i» 
UQdergoing  such  revolutions,  a  review  of  the  ancient  theory  of  "  Hik). 
giston  "  is  to  be  welcomed.  Mr.  Roilwell  gives  such  a  review  in  the 
pages  of  the  Phihi^phuai  Mtigatitte.  He  relates  the  various  ideas 
cODceraing  heat  that  prevailed  in  remote  times,  and  gives  an  account 
of  the  introtluction  of  the  term  "  phlogiston  "  by  Bccher,  and  iLs  sub- 
sequent employiiiem  by  StaJil  to  designate  tlic  materia  ignis,  or  inviNible 
fire,  of  foniicr  writers  on  chemistr)- ;  at  the  same  time  infjiiiring  into 
the  nature  of  the  theory  and  its  influence  u[K)n  the  subsequent  deve- 
lopment of  chemical  knowledge.  In  the  course  of  his  |>apcr  Mr.  Rod- 
wdl  iwints  out  that  the  first  promulgnlor  of  a  comprehensive  iheoiy  of 
combustion  was  Robert  Hooke,  who  published  his  hypotheais  m  a 
chapter  ofhis^u-/-tJ^(V>Aw,  entitled  "On  Charcoal  or  Burnt  Vegetables," 
four  yeois  before  the  publication  of  Becher's  work  which  led  to  the 
foundation  of  the  phlogiston,  theory.  But  little  notice  has  been  taken 
of  Hookc's  speculations  on  account  of  their  burial  in  a  mass  of  irre- 
levant matter,  with  nothing  to  indicate  their  position  or  existence.^ 
Nitroglycerine  has  been  the  subject  of  much  painful  interest  during  the 
past  few  weeks.  This  explosive  was  discovered  in  1847,  by  the  celc- 
brale<l  Italian  chemist  Sobrero,  ngw  professor  at  the  Technical  Insti- 
tute of  Turin.  Its  properties  were  studied  by  Dr.  J.  E.  De  Vry,  the 
chemist  of  the  NelherJands  Indian  Government,  who  first  introduced  it 
into  Knglaud  at  a  meeting  of  the  fintisli  Asiiociatioii  in  1851,  and 
astounded  the  assembled  members  by  its  terrible  jiowers,  ina'de  manifest 
by  placing  a  drop  on  a  piece  of  iKijier  and  striking  it  with  a  hanuncr. 
It  was  unknown  in  commenrc  till  1864,  M'hcn  N'obcl,  a  Swedish  engineer, 
I)rO|>osed  to  use  it  for  blasting  purfioscs  in  lieu  of  gunpowder,  than 
which  it  is  thirteen  times,  taken  bulk  for  bulk,  more  powerful. 
Nobel  secured  the  manufacture  of  it  by  a  patent,  and  it  has  ever  since 
been  made  in  great  quantity  in  various  parts  of  the  world,  generally  on 
the  sjiot  where  it  is  to  be  used.  It  is  made  by  mixing  suljihuric  acid 
with  nitrate  of  potash,  and  cooling  the  mixture  till  a  portion  of  it  cry^- 
tallises,  leavit^  a  strongly  acid  liquid  behind  ;  this  liquid  is  added  to 
commercial  glycerine,  and  nitro -glycerine  is  thus  formed.  After  sepa- 
rating the  oil  from  the  acid,  and  washing  it  in  water,  it  is  fit  for  use. 
The  blasting  oil  having  gained  a  bad  name,  Mr.  Nobel  has  written  in 
its  defence,  urging  that  its  uw  is  not  dangerous,  and  that  the  many 
accidents  that  have  arisei\  from  it  have  either  resulted  from  carelessness 
or  ignorance :  he  denies  that  it  possesses  the  treacherous  properties 
ascribed  to  it, — such  as  that  of  exploding,  while  in  its  congealed  slate,  by 
the  scratch  of  a  piu,  and  of  firing  spontaneously  ;  and,  reasonably  enough, 
he  maintaiiu!  that  whcnc%'er  an  article  can  be  regularly  and  safely  manu- 
factured, it  can,  with  due  r-are,  be  regularly  and  safely  used. — A  new 
explosive  powder,  made  by  Mr.  Horsley,  has  been  tried,  in  conjunction 
with  nitroglycerine,  upon  some  blasting  works  at  Milfonl.  It  is  safer 
than  the  glonoine  oil,  both  in  use  and  storage,  vcrj-  powerful,  and 
requires  a  temperature  of  475"  to  ignite  ;  glonoine  ignites  at  150'  less 
heat  than  this.     What  the  composition  of  the  powder  is,  we  cannot  say.

[Feb. 


— Professor  Tytidall,  in  his  "  Heat  conwdercd  as  a  Mode  of  Motion,*' 
asserts  that  the  anomalous  expansion  of  water  in  the  act  of  solicJifying 
by  cold  is  by  no  means  an  isolated  case  of  the  kind,  but  that  several 
substauces,  in  particular  tlie  metal  Uitinuth,  participate  in  the  pro- 
peny  of  expansion  Ijy  solidification.  Mr.  Tribe  lately  toid  the  Chemical 
Society  that,  from  experiments  on  bismuth  he  had  arrived  at  the  conclu- 
sion that  the  analogy  hetwccn  ■water  and  bismuth  is  imperfect,  since  in 
the  case  of  the  metal  there  is  no  perceptible  range  of  temperature 
through  which  it  expands  on  cooling.  The  act  of  solidification  is  itself 
accompanied  by  an  increase  in  bulk,  but  there  is  no  evidence  of  this 
expansion  taking  place  prior  to  the  act  of  crystallisation.  Mr.  Nasmj-th 
has  shonn  that  all  substances  expand  in  passing  from  the  fluid  to  the 
solid  state  ;  in  other  words,  that  they  arc  specifically  lighter  when  solid 
than  when  fluid,  a  fact  whic^h  is  proved  by  every  solid  floating  in  a  bath 
of  its  own  material  in  the  liquid  state. — It  is  asserted  that  a  large  quantity 
of  ordinary  creosote  is  simply  carbolic  acid.  'Ihe  false  may  be  told  from 
the  true  by  iu  behaviour  with  collodion.  Mixed  with  the  latter,  car- 
bolic acid  gives  a  gelatinous  precipitate,  while  with  pure  creosote  the 
mixture  remains  clear. — 'I'he  analysis  of  water  is  jtist  now  an  engrossing 
subject.  Dr.  Angus  Smith  read  a  paper  thereon  at  a  late  raeeiing  of 
the  Manchester  Philosophical  Society,  with  special  reference  to  exami- 
nations for  organic  matter.  He  repealed  his  opinion  that  the  mere 
expression  "organic  matter"  had  no  such  meaning  as  would  allow 
chcniists  to  measure  the  impurity  of  water  by  its  amounL  He  insisted 
upon  the  quality  and  condition  of  the  organic  matter  being  observed  as 
well  as  its  quantity,  as  some  portions  are  unwholesome  and  others 
innocent  He  discussed  the  methods  of  Frankland  and  Wanklyn,  but 
did  not  consider  that  these  superseded  his  own,  which  made  a  great 
number  of  subdivisions :  he  further  explaincti  the  mode  in  which  organic 
iiiattvr  is  removed  from  water,  and  showed  the  im|>oriance  of  finding  the 
amount  of  atmospheric  oxygen  it  contains. — It  has  been  found  by  M. 
Bcettgcr  that  an  alcoholic  extract  of  the  leaves  of  the  ornamental  plant 
known  as  Colais  Verschaffelti^  forms  a  reagent  of  great  sensitiveness  for 
alkalies  and  alkaline  earths.  To  prepare  the  test-papers,  the  fresh 
leaves  arc  agitated  with  .absolute  aJcohol,  mixed  with  a  few  drops  of 
sulphuric  acid,  and  left  lo  digest  for  twenty-four  hours  :  the  papers  arc 
soaked  in  this  solution  till  tlicy  become  red.  So  sensitive  is  this  reagent, 
that  a  strip  of  jwper  exposed  to  a  jet  of  coal  gas  speedily  becomes  green 
from  the  presence  of  ammonia.^Schonbcin  illustiatcs  the  simultaneous 
formation  of  ozone  and  antozone  by  introducing  into  a  flask  a  little 
ether,  and  jdunging  a  spiral  of  retl-hot  platinum  wire  into  the  vapours. 
By  the  blow  oxidation  of  the  ether  both  ozone  and  antozone  arc  gene- 
rated. The  fonner  is  shown  to  be  present  by  the  ordinary  iodine  and 
starch  test  paper:  to  exhibit  the  latter  the  Hosk  is  rinsed  with  ether:  a 
solution  of  bichromate  of  potash,  with  a  drop  of  sulphuric  acid  added,  is 
placed  in  a  test-tube,  and  the  ether  is  poured  in,  when  the  etherial  byer 
becomes  coloured  a  deep  violet  blue.  The  conclusion  arrived  at  from  thi^ 
experiment  is,  that  during  the  formation  of  ozone,  aniozone  is  also  formcH. 

Photography. — .Apropos    of   Oiione,    Dr.    Emerson   Re)'notd    lately 
stated  to  the  Dublin  Chemical  and  Philosophical  Club  that  he  had  been

ejiperimenting  upon  the  aclion  of  thai  element  on  sensitive  photographic 
plates.     He  had  found  that  when  a  plate  bearing  a  Latent  iiuage  i&  i>ut>< 
mitted  to  the  aclion  of  ozone,  the  impression  is  completely  obliterated: 
not  only  is  it  impossible  to  develop  the  image,  but  a  second  picture  may 
he  taken  upon  the  same  plate.     The  author  held  thai  this  fact  opposed 
the  mechanical  theory  of  phologcnic  aclion,  and  proved  conclusively 
that  the  ciiangc  wrought  by  light  is  a  chemical  one :  he  also  thought 
Llhat  the  quantity  of  ozone  in  the  atmoipherc  might  have  some  im- 
[iMrunt    bearing  on  the  var)'ing  keeping  powers  of  dry  plates. — The 
jeviy  experimenters  on  the  use  of  salts  of  silver  in  photography  got 
.good  results  from  the  fluoride,  which  they  found  to  be  extremely  seusi- 
live  to  light,  so  much  so,  that  a  visible  impression  could  be  obtained  in 
the  camera  upon  paper  prepared  willi  it     Its  solubility  in  water,  how- 
jCver,  prevented  its  utilisation,  for  it  was  lost  in  the  aqueous  solutions  as 
iast  as  it  was  formed.     M.  Prat  has  discovered  a  form  of  the  fIuorid« 
tiriiich,  while  it  possesses  the  extra  sensitiveness,  is  insoluble  in  water, 
[and  may  consequently  be  made  available  for  the  photogmpher's  opera- 
I'^ns.     M.  Prat's  researches  are  detailed  in  a  jiaper  recently  presented 
to  the  French  Academy  of  Sciences,  entitled  '*  I'luorine  and  its  Com- 
pounds."—  In  June  last  we  alluded  to  the  coloration  of  glass  by  light. 
M.  fiaf^teld,  who  investigated  this  subject,  communicates  to  the  last 
number  of  ^///ma/iVy<wr/ia/acontinuation  ofhisexperimcnls.  He  con- 
siders that  the  very  decided  changes  which  the  sun  produces  in  the 
colour  of  glass  are  due  to  peroxide  of  iron,  fi>rmed  from  iron  itupu- 
rities  contained  in  die  raw  materials,  in  conjunction  with  the  oxide  of 
manganese  used  by  glassmakers  to  annul  these  impurities.    A  glass  con- 
Utning  iron  turns  yellow  on  exposure  to  sunlight,  and  this  explains  a 
fact  noticed  by  photographcrs.^viz.,  that  better  pictures  can  be  token 
in  a  room  newly  glazed  than  in  one  in  which  the  glass  is  old.     Iron  and 
manganese  arc  to  lie  avoided  in  the  manufacture  of  the  better  kinds  of 
glass,  and  generally  M.  Gafficid  suggests  greater  csre  on  the  part  of 
makers  in  the  selection  of  their  ingredients.     His  experiments  led  him 
to  a  good  opinion  of  Knglish  crown  ;  but  the  niost  enduringty  clear  plate 
g1a5^  he  met  with  wa.s  a  sufierior  kind  of  plate  made  by  the  French  and. 
Belgian  pbte  glass  companies,  and  a  German   crystal  plate  made  iaj 
Hanover. — American  phuloyrapliers,  like  their  English  brethren,  have! 
found  tJiat  over-competition  is  destroying  the  profession  of  portraiture  ^' 
so  at  New  Orleans  they  have  resolved  upon  a  fixed  schedule  of  charges, 
and  all  the  phutographcrs  there  have  bound  tlicniselves  to  adhere  to  il» 
under  penalty  of  "  dishonour  and  fuifciturc  of  the  esteem  and  confidencffj 
of  tlic  community  "  if  they  deviate.    Only  good  work  is  to  be  done  :  the 
scale  of  prices  is  fair,  five  duUars  being  the  charge  for  a  dozen  caries  dc 
visile  at  the  first-class  galleries,  and  four  at  the  second-class :  other  sizes 
are  in  proportion.     In  Paris  the  operators  ore  combining  to  fon:i  a  kind 
of  trade  union  :  masters  and  employes  arc  united  to  coopcmte  for  tlieir 
mutual  improvement,  "both  from  a  moral  and  pecuniar}*  point  of  view." 
Tfiosc  who  are  acquainted  with  the  clasi  of  productions  that  the  I'arisian 
photographers  seem  to  delight  in,  will  agree  that  there  is  plenty  of  room 
for  the  moral  part  of  tlie  improvement.

The  Gentfetnan's  Afagasine. 


[FEn. 


hold  an  exhibition,  in  May  next,  of  all  things  connected  with  balloaning 
and  ai-ria]  navigation.  The  locahty  has  not  been  fixed  on :  it  is  to  be 
where  there  is  plenty  of  room  for  trying  aerial  machines,  &c.  To  add  to 
the  interest  of  the  show,  they  propose  lo  offer  a  priie  to  be  \von  l>y  the 
coniincnial  aeronaut  who  comes  in  his  balloon  across  the  Channel,  and 
drops  nearest  to  the  place  of  exhibition.  An  additional  prize  is  to  be 
held  out  to  any  venturous  aeronaut  who  essays  to  cross  the  Atlantic  in  a 
balloon,  and  succeeds.  To  provide  these  prizes  funds  nrc  wanted,  and 
a  circular  inviting  help  has  Iicen  issued,  so  that  those  who  wish  well  for 
aerostation  have  an  opponimity  of  contributing  something  more  than 
good  wishes  to  the  success  ofthis  undertaking.' — Mr.  'ITtompson,  an  YjS\x\' 
burgh  engineer,  has  produced  a  successful  road  locomotive.  The  tires 
of  the  wheels  arc  of  india-nibber,  and  it  is  said  that  the  bite  of  this 
material  on  the  road  is  marh'elious :  what  is  equally  suritrising  and  im- 
portant, it  is  not  cut  or  danuii^ed  by  newly  broken  road  metal,  dints,  and 
other  seemingly  destmclive  road  materials.  The  elasticity  of  the 
caoutchouc  destroys  small  vibrations,  and  makes  riding  on  the  engine  as 
smooth  as  driving  over  a  grass  lawn. — Another 'llumes  tunnel  is  talked 
of,  to  cross  the  river  between  London  Bridge  and  the  Tower.  The 
Tower  authorities  sanction  the  project,  but  I'arliamentary  sanction  has 
not  yet  been  obtained.  Mr.  Peter  Barlow  is  the  engineer  who  proposes 
the  scheme.  His  plan  embraces  provision  for  lowering  passengers  by 
hydraulic  lifts,  and  coirying  them  through  the  tunnel  in  omnibuses.

MADEMOISELLE     MATHILDE. 
Br  Henry  fCiNOSLfiV. 


CHAPTER   XLI. 

MADAME   APPEARS    IN    STRANGB    COMPASY. 

[O  every  one  seemed  likely  to  have  his  own  way.     There 
had  never  been  but  one  disturbing  cause — the  incomprit 
Andre  Dcsillcs  ;  and  he  was  dead,  ind  out  of  the  way. 
If  he  had  never  (been  reported  to  have)  said  those  words 
about  Mathildc's  ugliness,  things  might  have  been  otherwise. 

But  Andre  Desilles  was  what  is  called  a  square  man,  and  would 
not  fit  into  a  round  hotc  {  and  he  was  dead  on  the  stones  of  Nanci,  and 
there  was  an  end  of  him.  And  Adele  cried  over  the  quiet,  melancholy 
baby  for  one  whole  September  afternoon,  for  she  had  a  very  tender 
little  heart ;  and  she  told  the  melancholy  baby  that  she  had  always 
told  him  what  would  come  of  this  odious,  this  wicked,  revolution 
(which  she  had  not,  by  the  bye),  and  the  baby  screwed  its  face  into 
the  ghost  of  a  giggle.  And  she  went  sadly  among  her  flowers  for 
nearly  a  day. 

Sir  Lionel  Somers,  coming  softly,  as  was  his  custom,  into  the  great 
room  at  Sheepsden,  saw  Mathilde  staring  out  of  window  towards  the 
South-cast. 

He  came  up  and  kissed   her  hair}   and  she  turned  a  perfectly 
white   face   towards   him,   in  which  there   was   an   expression   of 
ghastiy  wonder  and  terror.    "  Lionel/'  she  said,  quietly,  "they  have

killed  Andre.  The  soldiers  have  shot  him  stark  dead  upon  the  5ton« 
at  Nanci.  Old  Andre !  I  cannot  understand  it.  Will  you  stay  by 
me  and  bear  with  mc  ?  for  I  feci  as  if  all  the  world  were  gone  from 
mc  but  jrou  ;  and  there  is  no  church  here.'* 

So  th«  interest  of  our  story  concentrates  now^  1  hope  naturally, 
upon  the  two  sisters,  and,  to  some  extent,  on  the  two  houses  in  which 
they  lived  so  entirely  separated  from  one  another. 

Monlauban,now  utterly  destroyed  as  an  evil  and  unbearable  thing, 
was  a  typical  place— a  place  so  remarkable  as  to  be  almost  worth 
recalling  again.  Approaching  it  from  almost  any  quarter,  you  passed 
through  miserable  villages,  the  foreheads  of  whose  inhabitants  were 
sumpcd  not  so  much  with  the  seal  of  Revolution  as  with  the  blood- 
red  Cain-mark  of  Jacquerie.  Read  Arthur  Young,  and  sec  how 
much  they  will  bear.  The  approaches  to  MoJitauban  were  an  ex- 
ception in  Brittany,  where  the  peasants  had  still  so  much  faith  in 
landlord  and  priest  as  to  be  ready  to  die  for  them,  would  they  only 
lead. 

Passing  these  miserable  villages  you  rose  to  the  level  of  thegreiat 
forest,  and  looked  upon  an  ocean  of  trees,  an  apparently  level  ocean, 
from  the  diametrical  centre  of  which,  on  the  only  mound  in  that 
g^eat  wooded  plateau,  rose  the  castle,  dominating  the  highest  tree : 
a  lurid  mass  of  crimson  and  purple,  tnany-pcakcd,  fantastic,  with  one 
great  tower  of  flat  slate  standing  high  aloft  above  the  others.  It 
looked  like  a  vast  red  ship  at  anchor  in  and  above  an  endless  ocean 
of  green  forest.  Was  it  beautiful  ?  It  was  beautiful  beyond  measure, 
with  the  beauty  of  Jezebel.  Peasants  and  travellers  sometimes  saw 
it  aloft  from  afar,  like  the  evil  wild  sunset  of  a  day  grown  hopeless, 
of  a  day  so  hopeless  that  men  turned  in  despair  to  the  vzxy  night  itself, 
hoping  only  for  what  weather  the  morrow's  suti  would  bring.  The 
interior  of  this  beautiful  domain  had  been,  hitherto,  nameless  wicked- 
ness ;  outside,  a  desolate  Paradise  of  boairs,  wolves,  and  stags  as  iiir 
as  the  eye  could  reach.  The  inside  of  it  abomination,  the  outside  of 
it  desolation.  Ifeveraplacc  had  reached  the  requirements  of  the 
abomination  of  desolation,  it  was  Montauban. 

And  here  had  conic  two  of  the  gentlest,  most  innocent,  souls  ever 
born  into  the  world,  and  had  taken  possession  of  it — Adcle  and 
Father  Martin.  To  them  this  wicked  place  was  an  Eden  of  perfect 
purity  and  beauty.  There  was  no  evil  for  thtm.  Some  souls  car* 
make  an  Eden  in  a  reformatory.     I  learnt  that  fact  twenty-five  years

ago,  when  I  first  saw  the  late  Miis  Neave  (now,  I  fear,  forgotten 
with  her  work,)  among  the  fallen  and  refractory  girls  at  Manor 
House. 

'  So  Father  Martin  and  Adele,  and  the  very  melancholy  baby  lived 
in  the  red  castle,  and  fur  music  heard  the  wolves  howl  at  night ; 
with  the  marks  of  the  tapagi  of  the  nuw-banishcd  Mamelukes  all 
around  them,  and  the  ghosts  of  old  iniquities  rustling  in  every 
corridor. 

Wipe  the  palette  of  these  chromes  and  vermilions,  and  let  us  have 
some  grey.  Ejiough  of  Montauban  for  the  present.  Let  us  breathe 
without  four  mik-s  of  a  dense  forest  all  round  us.  Let  us  sec  where 
the  other  sister  was.     Lee  us  have  a  look  at  Shecpsden. 


How  brisk  and  nimble  the  south-west  wind  comes  here  then  \ 
Take  off  your  hat  and  sit  on  the  close  turf,  and  drink  it  in  like  the 
best  of  all  good  champagne.  And  you  shall  have  music  with  your 
wine.  \i  you  do  not  believe  me,  listen.  What  is  that  sound  like 
the  low  rushing  of  innumerable  violins  up  to  a  great  passage  ?  That 
is  the  wind  amidst  the  grass  and  among  the  fir  trees,  high  over  head. 
What  is  that  strange,  booming,  subdued  harmony,  which  comes  in  so 
well,  as  though  of  the  wind  instruments  supporting  the  sibilant  nish 
of  the  violins  f  That  is  the  lowing  and  the  bleating  of  the  cattle  and 
the  sheep.  What  is  that  magnificent  golden  staccato  which  comes  in 
and  subdues  and  harmonises  with  everything  else?  That  is  the  sound 
of  the  minster  bcUs  at  Stuurminstcr  Osborne  rung  by  our  young  mea. 
They  arc  in  for  a  grandsirc  triple,  and  will  do  it  under  the  hour ;

music  enough  here,  if  you  will  listen  to  it, — better  than  Brittany 
bagpipes. 

Scenery  again.  Is  not  this  better,  and  better  used,  than  the  dull, 
everiasiing  woodlands  of  Brittany  i  In  all  Brittany  is  there  one 
grand  chalk  down  so  tine  as  this,  hurling  itself  down  suddenly  into 
the  level  of  the  valley,  and  so  wonderfiiUy  well  utilised  from  the 
summit,  where  the  short,  sweet  thymy  sward  is  nibbled  by  the  sheep, 
down  to  the  rich  base,  where  it  subsides  into  the  cattle-bearing 
meadows  r  No  forest  here  nearer  than  Cranbournc  or  the  New 
Forest.  The  peasants  in  these  parts  would  not  stand  wolves  and 
wild  boars  \  and  let  that  matter  be  understood  very  early  and  with 
singular  emphasis.     Gilbert  White  tells  us  that  a  lord  in  his  parts 


[March, 


cried  to  introduce  them,  near  about  this  Dine,  ^*  but  the  people  rose 
on  them  and  destroyed  them."  It  seems,  sometimes,  a  pity  that  the 
French  people  should  not  have  made  their  will  known  sooner.  But 
this  was  ihcir  Jim  revolution  ;  ours  was  over  and  gone  one  hundred 
and  htty  years.  And  so  it  was  a  plcasantcr  thing  to  live  at  grey  dim 
Shccpsdcn,  among  the  elms,  below  the  fir  trees,  than  it  was  to  live  at 
the  daric  red  Monuuban,  rising,  as  if  on  an  altar,  above  the  level  forest. 

Although  one  would  much  rather  have  been  at  Sheepsden  in  those 
times,  yet  action,  the  thing  which  a  story-teller  must  attend  to  Arst, 
was  all  at  Montauban.  The  reader  may  say  that  both  places  were 
equally  dull ;  that  Sir  Lionel  and  Mathilde,  philandering — almost 
platonically — at  Shccpsdcn,  were  scarcely  less  dull  than  Adele  and 
Father  Martin  philandering — quite  platonically — at  Montauban.  To 
which  I  answer,  by  no  mcan^.  At  Shccpsdcn  there  was  no  Aladame 
D'Isigny  ;  now,  on  the  othet  hand,  at  Montauban  there  was. 

She  had  got  in  there.  Father  Martin  luicw  that  she  would,  and 
wondered  how;  and  she  did.  Though  he  knew  that  she  would,  he 
wondered  how  she  would  do  it ;  snd  as  time  went  on,  and  she  made 
no  sign,  but  lived  in  her  old  house  in  the  Rue  dc  Jcsuil,  at  Dinan, 
apparently  quite  contented,  this  very  foolish  priest  began  to  think 
that  Medea  was  going  to  keep  her  word,  and  was  nut  going  to  in- 
volve Adeic  in  any  of  her  very  dangerous  political  schemes. 

Foolish  priest !  Did  he  not  know  that  there  comes  a  time  in 
every  house  when  somethmg  happens  with  which  the  priest  has 
nothing  to  do  at  all — when  he  is  of  less  imponancc,  and  of  less 
authority,  than  the  dirtiest  old  charwoman  who  has  had  a  family  ;  a 
time  when  he  is  put  out  of  court  as  an  inexpert,  and  has  to  get  his 
meals  as  he  may  ;  and  when  some  member  of  his  Hock  is  certain 
to  rise  from  her  knees,  in  the  middle  of  prayers  or  mass,  and  leave 
the  room  hurriedly  on  a  false,  or  purely  fictitious,  alarm  from  the 
nuntrff  Where  is  your  priest  at  such  a  time  ?  Nowhere.  Father 
Martin  had  not  calculated  on  this  \  but,  on  the  other  hand,  Madame 
had. 

The  melancholy  baby  fell  ill,  and  they  sent  for  the  doctor.  Now 
it  will  raise  your  opinion  of  Madame's  power  of  conspiracy  when  1 
tell  you  that  she  had  brought  up  one  of  the  discharged  Mamelukes 
to  do  her  bidding,  paying  him  nearly  enough  to  keep  his  fellows,  for 
the  mere  purpose  of  watching  the  only  available  doctor's  house  for 
her.  The  n>csscngcr  arrived  from  Montauban  at  one  o'clock  in  the 
day.     By  ten  o'clock  at  night  this  exemplary  young  man  was  before

Madame  D'tsignj-'s  door,  in  the  cross  street  above  the  JeBuil  gate, 
at  Dinar,  rnthcr  drunk,  but  remembering  his  message. 

No  one  answered  his  knocks,  and  there  was  no  bell-  He  at  last 
bethought  himsclfof  opening  the  door,  and  did  so,  shutting  it  behind 
him,  in  terror  of  the  anger  i>f  the  terrible  lady  wliu  was  somewhere 
within. 

It  vras  so  dead,  so  silent,  so  cold,  and  so  dark,  that  it  appalled 
him,  drunk  as  he  was.  He  groped  his  way  along  a  slippery,  slimy 
passage,  pitvcd  with  sl.tte,  until  he  tumbled  against  some  stone  stairs, 
up  which  he  went,  and  arrived  at  a  long,  dark  corridor,  through  the 
window  at  the  end  of  which  corridor  the  moon  seemed  to  have  bent 
down  to  have  a  sly  look  at  Kim  ;  after  which  she  disappeared.  This 
exemplary  young  Mameluke  began  to  think  that  he  had  been  having 
more  to  drink  than  was  gcMsd  for  him  lately,  which  was  indeed  the 
iact,  and  was  inclined  to  call  out;  but  was  only  deterred  from 
fear  of  the  terrible  Madame  appearing.  He  opened  very  gently,  ac- 
cording to  his  training,  door  after  door  along  this  corridor,  and  looked 
into  the  rooms.  Four  of  these  rooms  in  succession  were  dark  and 
silent,  which  frightened  him  ;  the  fifth,  which  was  lit  up,  he  opened 
w   h  more  confidence,  but  very  quietly. 

A  very  beautiful  girl  was  lying  in  bed,  asleep.  She  h.id  beeir 
leading  in  bed,  and  had  left  her  lamp  burning,  so  that  its  light  was 
shed  upon  her  face.  Her  right  arm  had  pulled  the  clothes  up  on  to 
her  throat,  her  left  arm  lay  bare  over  the  coverlet,  with  the  l^iok  she 
h.-id  been  reading  nillen  idly  from  her  hand.  Her  cheek  was  pressed 
on  to  the  pillowt  and  over  the  pillow  lay  her  hair,,  spread  out  like  the 
seaweed  on  the  rorke  at  St.  Malo.  Our  tipsy  Mameluke  shut  th'n 
door  pretty  quickly.  It  is  ditKcult  to  brutalisc  a  man  before  he  is 
one-and-twcnty.  He  closed  the  door  in  terror,  and  stood  once 
more  in  the  dark  corridor. 

The  young  man  p.'isscd  along  the  passage  until  he  came  to  the 
window  at  the  end,  through  which  the  moon  had  looked  at  him,  and 
then  he  perceived  that  the  keyhole  of  the  door  to  the  left  of  him  was 
illuminated,  and  he  heard  voices. 

He  listened,  as  his  nature  directed  him,  but  although  he  could 
hear  every  word,  he  could  not  understand  one.  There  were,  he 
guessed,  four  people  in  the  room,  and  they  were  speaking  of 
numbers — 51,  5a,  53,  54,  were  the  first  numbers  he  heard.  Kach 
number  was  read  out  by  a  rather  pleasant  female  voice ;  and  after 
each  number  there  was  discussion.     1-ifty-oiK  and  fifty-two  seemed.

to  chis  rapidly  sobering  young  man,  to  pass  without  challenge  ;  fifty- 
three,  however,  was  most  strongly  objected  to  by  two  out  of  the 
four  voices.  Fifty-three,  it  seemed  to  the  young  man,  must  be  a 
terrible  fellow.  Hearing  the  catalogue  of  fifty-three's  crimes,  our 
young  Mameluke  began  to  feci  himself  rather  a  respectable  and 
vinuous  youth. 

The  way  in  which  this  fiiiy-three,  nameless  for  evermore,  was 
denounced  by  the  two  dissentient  voices,  made  our  young  man 
very  much  inclined  to  bolt.  'I'hcre  was  nothing  which  fifty-three 
had  not  done.  The  loudest  c>i  the  denunciatory  voices  summed  up 
his  crimes.  Friend  of  Lafayette,  friend  of  Mirabcau,  friend — would 
Madame  pardon  him — of  D'lsigny,  lover— would  Madame  once 
again  pardon  him,  these  were  not  times  for  hiding  truth — of  a  young 
lady  who  was  the  open  and  avowed  friend  of  the  devil  Mamt. 

The  second  denunciatory  voice  look  up  the  tale,  but  very  shortly. 
This  gentleman  shortly  said  that  unless  fifty-three  was  removed  from 
the  roll,  he  would  blow  his  brains  out  with  a  pistol. 

"  You  heat  yourselves  unnecessarily,  you  two,"  said  the  strong 
voice  of  Mad.imc  D'Isigny.  "  Fifty-three  is  removed  fi'om  the  list. 
In  fact,  he  is  dead,  and  has  saved  us  all  trouble.  He  struck  out  for 
the  law  at  last,  and  the  men  of  his  regiment  killed  him.  He  was 
worth  the  whole  lot  of  you  put  together.  And  Marat  again  !  Why 
do  you  call  Marat  a  devil  \  I  talked  with  him  the  other  day,  and 
thought  him  rather  a  good  fellow.  He  wants  to  hang  us  and  our 
party  up  in  a  row;  and  we,  on  the  other  hand,  want  to  hang  him 
ai]d  his  party  up  in  a  row.  It  is  equal,  is  it  not  P  I  rather  like 
your  Marat ;  he  speaks  out  and  says  what  he  wants." 

There  was  a  dead  silence  after  this  very  terrible  speech.  No  one 
seemed  inclined  to  say  a  word.  The  roll  of  numbers  was  read  on, 
until  there  was  a  violent  hitch  at  fifty-nine  and  sixty.  Over  these 
two  numbers  there  was  battle  royal ;  on  the  one  side  Madame,  on 
the  other  the  four  voices.  The  argument  was  so  fierce  and  so  loud 
that  its  purport  could  not  be  gathered  by  the  listener  \  but  Madamc's 
voice  vi'as  the  loudest  and  most  determined  of  all  the  voices,  and  in 
the  end  prevailed.  The  first  coherent  thing  said  about  these  two 
numbers  was  in  the  voice  of  Madame  herself. 

"  You  are  all  imbeciles  about  these  two  men.  You  say  they  are 
tainted  with  the  new  opinions  ;  it  is  true.  You  say  they  arc  fools  ; 
also  true.  But  they  are  botli  thoroughly  frightened  at  the  Revolution, 
and  will  stay  in  heart  with  u«,  while  at  the  same  time  they  will  keep

up  social  communications  with,  at  all  events,  the  Feuilkns,  and  will 
do  us  infinite  service.  Why  fifty-nine,  my  husband,  visits  Marat; 
and  lixcy  is  a  fool  who  has  married  oiy  daughter.  I  tell  you  that 
we  must  keep  these  two  with  us." 

The  gentleman  who  had  proposed  to  blow  his  brains  out,  asked 
whether,  as  Madame  was  so  rcsohitc  in  retaining  her  husbaitd's 
name  on  the  list,  it  would  not  be  better  to  utilise  him  in  some  way. 
Could  they  not,  for  instance,  get  M.  D'Isigny  to  act  as  their  agent 
in  buying  up  Marat.  Marat  was  a  must  notoriously  needy  man, 
and  a  very  dangerous  man.  Madame's  husband  was  a  friend  of  his; 
was  it  not  possible  that  she  could  use  her  influence  on  her  husband 
to  bring  about  the  negotiation. 

Madame's  answer  was,  **  No.  I  am  not  afraid  of  my  husband  or  of 
anythingelse,  as  the  world  most  notoriously  knows:  but  I  should  hardly 
like  to  face  him  with  such  an  iniquitous  proposition.  Again,  you  people 
are,  as  I  have  often  told  you,  silly,  and  know  nothing.  You  could 
as  little  bribe  Marat  as  you  could  get  D'Isigny  to  take  your  bribe  to 
him,  *  Every  man  has  his  price,'  some  one  said.  I  tell  you  they 
lie,  and  aie  fools.  A  fanatic  has  no  price.  You  do  not  know  a 
luiatic  ;  kmk  at  me  th«n  and  sec  one ;  and  the  madman  Marat  is 
another.     We  have  no  price.     We  are  tnragei.*' 

All  the  numbers  up  to  72  seemed  to  go  right  to  this  listening  and 
somewhat  crapulous  groom.  There  was  a  hitch  and  a  discussion 
at  this  number  however,  which  he  only  partly  heard,  as  he  became 
painfully  aware  that  some  one  was  trying  the  front  door  as  he  had 
done,  and  that  his  time  was  short,  unless  he  wished  to  be  caught 
listening. 

This  discussion  was  not  so  loud  as  the  others.  Madame  had 
bullied  the  rest  of  the  conspirators  so  thoroughly.  **  I  tell  you,"  she 
said,  '*  that  1  expect  a  summons  which  will  call  mc  to  Moncauban ; 
and  once  in  that  house,  let  those  who  would  turn  me  out,  try.  My 
daughter  Adcle  is  foolish,  and  t  can  mould  her.  The  priest  will  be 
with  us  in  the  end,  or  die.     Hark  !  some  one  knocks  ! " 

In  fact  it  was  the  case.  The  crapulous  groom,  hearing  a  belated 
conspirator  come  blundering  up  the  stone  staircase  in  the  dark, 
clicking  his  sword  against  the  stone  walls,  began  to  reflect  that  if  he 
was  caught  listening  thcrcj  his  life  was  not  worth,  in  time  two 
minutes,  in  money  not  a  livrc  and  a  half  (reducible  in  the  present 
French  currency  to  one  franc  and  eighty  to  eighty-five  centimes)  \ 
so  he  knocked. 


276 


Th4  Gmtleman's  Magasine.  [Marci 


Madame  was  deaf  to  the  first  knock,  but  our  youi^  man  was  so 
pauifully  alive  to  the  foct  of  a  bloodthirsty  aristocrat  with  a  sword, 
blundering  through  the  darkness  towards  him,  that  he  knocked  again 
almost  furiously.  The  advancing  aristocrat  cried  out,  ^'  Qui  vive,'* 
and  Madame  cried  out,  **  Entrci."  The  young  man  accepted 
Madamc's  invitation,  and  went  in. 

Of  course  there  was  no  one  but  Madame,  and  she  had  on  a  silver 
ftirrup,  and  was  netting  fishermen's  nets.  The  young  man  was  not 
wise,  but  having  been  listcnitig  for  nearly  an  hour  outside  the  door, 
the  behaviour  of  Madame  did  seem  to  him  a  little  overdone.  Even 
in  his  benighted  mind  there  arose  a  dim  consciousness  that  Madame 
was  overdoing  it,  and  that  he  could  have  done  it  better  hinuclf.  He 
could  hear  the  other  conspirators  squabbling  in  fierce  whispers  in  the 
next  room  perfectly  plain  j  and  here  was  Madame  netting  away, 
in  spectacles,  and  not  making  very  good  weather  of  that^  as  a  sailor 
might  say.  Our  young  man  had  no  objeclion  to  a  farce,  but  he  liked 
it  done  well.  He  liked  a  tone  of  probabiliij'  about  it.  There  was 
no  probability  here. 

All  embarrassment  was  saved  in  his  case,  for  the  latest  conspirator 
blundered  over  him  as  he  stood  in  the  doorway,  and  shot  him  ima 
the  middle  of  the  room.  The  Mameluke,  turning  to  ofFcr  a  mild 
remonstrance,  perceived  at  once  that  the  belated  royalist  was  deeply 
disguised  in  liquor. 

Madame  pointed  out  the  fact  to  this  belated  aristocrat  in  that  ex- 
Lremely  emphatic  language  which  I  have  previously  noticed  as  being  a 
tffeialittf  o£  hen.  The  language  was  too  emphatic  for  reproduction, 
and  the  aristocrat  resented  it.  After  balancing  himself  carefully,  he 
informed  JVIadame,  who  was  perfectly  unconcerned,  that  it  was  foreign 
to  his  nature  to  resent  an  insult  from  a  lady,  and  then  retired,  re- 
venging himself  by  swearing  awfully  along  the  corridor.  Madame 
heard  him  fall  down  suirs  with  perfect  equanimity,  and  silently  turned 
her  stony  gaze  on  the  terror-stricken  Mameluke. 

He  delivered  his  message  under  the  influence  of  that  Gorgon 
stare.  The  son  and  heir  of  the  house  of  De  Valogncs  was  dan- 
gerously ill. 

**  I  am  r»  rsutt  for  Montauban,  you  people,"  he  heard  her  say. 
"  Don't  make  greater  imbeciles  of  yourselves  than  you  can  help 
without  mc.  We  shall  none  of  us  meet  very  likely  for  a  long  time, 
for  once  in  that  house,  in  the  midst  of  that  loyal  population,  I  shall 
remain.     And  you  will  send  no  more  communications  to  mc,  with-

out  my  orders.  There  arc  snakes  in  the  grass.  Just  come  into  the 
front  room  again  for  a  moment.  There  is  a  young  man  there  whose 
portrait  I  want  taken." 

The  young  nun  heard  a  trampling  of  feet,  and  a  raiding  of  swords, 
and  a  moment  afterwards  the  whole  of  these  very  dangerous  Vtndean 
conspirators  were  before  him,  looking  at  him.  What  little  ncr\'e  he 
had  left  was  gonc^  as  they  8ay»  through  the  heels  of  his  boots,  by 
now  1  he  wu>  simply  desperate.  Fourteen  gentlemen  of  the  class 
whose  desperate  mettle  he  knew,  having  lived  among  such  for  good 
or  for  evil  all  his  life.  And  these  fouitccn  terrible  gentlemen  calmly 
fixed  their  twenty-eight  eves  on  him  with  a  view  to  future  recog- 
nition. Marat  would  have  shaken  his  tawny  hair,  stretched  out  his 
ten  Angers,  and  given  them  utter  defiance ;  Danton  would  have 
hurled  some  of  his  ccrrible  words  at  their  he^ds  ;  Robespierre  would 
have — I  do  not  know  what  Robespierre  would  have  done — nobody 
seems  to  understand  that  man,  not  even  Lewes.  But  the  wild  young 
Mameluke,  a  parasite  on  their  tree,  was  simply  stricken  with  terror  at 
the  dreadful  array  of  fourteen  of  the  order  which  he  had  been  taught 
to  dread  and  had  learned  to  hate,  standing  before  him  with  their 
eyes  on  his  face.  And  besides  there  was  Madame  D'lsigny  smiling 
carelessly  upon  him. 

These  particular  fourteen  were  a  set;  Mameluke  knew  them 
all  save  two ;  and  those  two  stood  in  front  of  the  others. 

Madame  D'lsigny  said,  "  I  have  trusted  and  paid  this  young  man, 
Messieurs.     You  will  remember  htm  again." 

A  very  young  genileman  among  the  crowd  suddenly  said,  "  It 
becomes  then  a  question  whether  or  no  the  highest  and  purest 
morality  does  not  dictate  his  death.  Madame's  indiscretion  is 
enormous.  I  do  not  see  how  wc  can  save  ourselves  and  the  cause 
without  the  death  of  this  young  man." 

The  terrified  Mameluke  cast  his  eyes  on  the  two  men  who  stood 
in  advance  of  the  rest,  in  utter  despair.  He  saw  that  they  were 
laughing  at  this  bloodthirsty  nonsense,  and  took  heart  at  once.  A 
valet  is  as  used  to  judge  men  by  their  appearance  as  another,  and 
he  looked  at  these  two  with  wonder,  with  the  more  wonder  because 
one  of  them,  the  one  who  stood  in  advance  of  the  other,  was  not  a 
gentleman  at  all,  but  a  young  man,  a  little  over  twenty-five,  who 
seemed  half-sailor,  half-peasant.  Yet  the  magnificent  gentleman 
who  stood  rather  behind  this  peasant,  and  kept  his  arm  affectionately 
qn  his  shoulder,  was  from  his  tntwrage^  a  gentleman  of  the  first

mterj  and  they  were  both,  evidently,  in  some  way  or  nnother, 
men  oF  marl:.  Indeed  they  were.  The  sailor-peasant  who  stood 
nearest  to  him,  was  Charcttc  ;  the  nobleman  who  had  his  arm  in 
the  French  way  round  his  neck,  was  Hciui  dc  la  Rochejacquelcin — 
natnes^  like  Danton's,  *'  not  unknown  in  the  Revolution." 

*'  Stop  that   nonsense,  Dc  Morbihan,"  said  La  Rochejacquclein, 
after  he  and  Charettc  had  had  iheir  laugh  together.     **  We  have  no 
intention  of  murdering  the  young  man.    You  disgrace  the  King. 
gets  his  dismissal  froin  Madame." 

**  Swear  hiin,"  said  De  Morbihan,  coming  forward. 

"  Nonsense  !  "  sa.id  Charettc.  "  What  would  be  the  use  of  that  ? 
What  is  his  oath  worth  until  he  understands  the  question  ?  Let  m« 
speak  to  him.     Look  at  me,  young  man." 

The  young  man  looked  at  the  sailor,  and  felt  that  he  would  rather 
have  looked  at  a  pleasanter  face.  It  was  determined,  it  was  calm  ; 
but  there  was  a  twinkle  of  ferocity  about  the  eyes,  which  he  did  not 
like  at  all.  i 

**  If  you  hold  your  tongue,  you  arc  snfc.  If  von  speak,  you  die; 
whether  you  are  in  Brittany,  in  Farrs,  in  London,  you  die.  You 
would  ask,  arc  wc  assassins,  then  ?  We  answer,  not  as  yet.  Do 
not  force  us  to  become  so.  Your  life  is  in  your  own  hands,  and  not 
in  ours.     To  keep  it  safe  you  had  better  join  us." 

The  young  man  thought  so  also  \  but  at  that  moment  Charctte 
was  thrust  aside  by  Madame  D'Isigny,  who  said  : 

"Leave  hJm,  Charctte  ;   he  is  under  my  care.     Go,  at  once, 
Montauban,  and  tell  Father  Martin  that  I  am  coming," 

"'  Madame,  I  am  afraid  of  the  forest  alone." 

"  Believe  that  Captain  Charettc  the  Sailor  is  behind  you,  my  friend 
and  you  will  not  fear  the  wolves.  Go,  now,  swiftly  and  straight 
and  remember  that  I  am  following.  I  also  dread  the  forest,  and  so 
may  require  some  of  these  gentlemen  to  follow  mc.  Let  us  find  you 
there,  my  good  young  man,  with  your  mcs8.igc  safely  delivered  when 
I  ariive,  or  some  of  my  escort  may  take  it  into  their  heads  to  look 
after  you  as  thev  return."

MADAME  S    PLOT    FR0SPP.R5. 

Father  Martin  summoned  the  major-domo.  He  was  walking 
quickly  up  and  down  the  room  in  a  state  of  comical  confusion  and 
ill-temper.  "-  Madame  the  mother  of  the  Marquise  is  cotning,"  he 
said. 

'*  Does  Madame  stay  long?  "  asked  the  major  domu. 

"  Yes  ;  ill  permanence^"  snapped  Kather  Martin.  "  I  have  tried 
hard  to  keep  her  from  getting  her  foot  into  the  house  \  but  she  has 
goc  it  in,  in  spite  of  mc,  and  she  will  take  it  out  again  no  more.  No 
n»orel" 

**  What  rooms  shall  I  prepare  for  Madame  \  " 

'*  Those  in  the  extreme  end  of  the  east  wing,  or  the  west  wing, 
or  in  the  attics,  or  anywhere,  where  the  clack  of  her  tongue  may  not 
be  heard  by  passers  by." 

"  Will  the  east  wing  do,  M,  Ic  Cure  ? " 

**  If  it  is  out  of  the  way  it  will." 

"  It  is  retired.     Docs  Madame  expect  guests?" 

"  I  suppose  so.  Women  seldom  talk  their  own  nonsense  without 
listeners." 

"  Will  Madame  receive  many  ?  " 

"  Yes ;  all  the  fools  in  Brittany,"  said  Father  Martin,  testily. 
Madame  arrived*  and  nursed  the  melancholy  baby.  I  dare  say 
er  presence  had  something  to  do  with  the  extraordinary  complacent 
misery  of  that  child.  Possibly,  also,  the  expression  of  Father 
Martin's  face  reflected  itself  in  some  way  on  the  baby's  ^  for  Father 
Martin's  expression  of  face  was  extremely  melancholy.  For 
Madame's  messenger,  the  Mameluke,  like  a  loosc-mouthcd  young 
Auvcrgnois,  fuidiiig  himself  under  the  protection  of  a  tight- mouthed, 
determined  Breton-Norman,  like  Father  Martin,  had  not  only  given 
Madame's  message,  but  had  told  Father  Martin  every  detail  of  the 
extraordinary  circumstances  under  which  it  was  sent.  He  looked 
over  his  shoulder  once  or  twice,  to  sec  if  Charctte  was  behind  him  \ 
but  the  instinct  of  gabble  was  too  strong  for  him,  and  he  told  Father 
Martin  everything,  from  beginning  to  end.  He  saw  that  the  chateau 
was  to  be  made  the  centre  of  a  great  Royalist  plot ;  and  he  groaned 
helplessly.

Madame  did  her  dutv  as  a  mother  by  Adclc  and  the  baby,  and  then 
retired  into  her  rooms  again.  '*  In  the  present  state  of  politics,"  she 
said,  **she  did  not  wish  to  spealc  too  much  to  her  daughter  on  any 
subject  which  would  be  likely  to  agitate  her.  She  confessed  that  she 
herself  felt  strongly  oii  politics, — an  old  woman  might  without  ofFciice. 
Her  daughter's  husband  had  taken  up,  to  a  certain  extent,  with  the 
new  ideas.  Nothing  was  more  wicked  than  to  cast  any  word  between 
man  and  wife  which  would  lessen  their  respect  for  one  another. 
Therefore,  she  felt  it  her  duty  to  see  as  little  ofAdcle  as  possible. 
Yet  she  had  her  sentiments  as  a  mother,  and  only  asked  to  sec  her 
daughter  once  a  day,  jf  Father  Martin  did  not  object.  The  good 
father  would  allow  for  her  weakness  towards  her  own  daughter. 
The  good  father  (she  never  could  keep  that  forked  snake's  tongue  nf 
hers  between  her  iccth  long  together)  knew  nothing  of  these  lhing« 
He  was  too  righteous,  too  far  removed  from  human  passions  to 
appreciate  the  revivified  itorge  which  came  upon  a  mother  when  her 
daughter  first  gave  her  rank  as  a  grandmother.  The  good  father,  in 
his  perfect  righteousness,  would  forgive  a  poor,  sinful,  old  woman 
for  taking  an  interest  in  her  own  daughter.  Might  she  see  her  own 
daughter  once  a  day  f  How  long  might  she  stay  ?  And,  oh  !  mighi 
she  go  to  mass  ?  " 

I  don't  know  what  Father  Martin  was  going  to  say  when  she  said 
this.  What  he  said  was,  *'  Madame,  you  may  go  to — (she  says  he 
made  a  pause  here,  he  said  he  did  nothing  of  the  kind) — mass  as 
often  as  you  like." 

Father  Martin  rather  astonished  the  old  major-domo  after  this. 
The  major-domo  was  giving  the  good  fathe:  his  dinner  on  a  Friday — 
the  very  day  of  this  conversation — and  his  dinner  consisted  of  trout — 
a  e»memmi\  or  something  of  that  sort — I  do  not  understand  gastric 
matters.  T  doubt  there  was  meat  in  the  gravy  of  it,  and  that  the 
good  fiither  was  committing  venial  sin  in  c;Uing  it ;  but  that  was  the 
cook's  fault,  for  no  one  was  more  particular  than  Father  Martin  in 
observing  what  I  call  the  superstitions  of  his  Church  ;  and  the  old 
servants  loved  him  so  well  that  they  deluded  hin\  out  of  his  fasts. 
However,  he  left  his  trout  imtasted,  and  after  a  long  silence,  rose  up 
and  walked  to  and  fro,  Then  he  turned  suddenly  en  the  major-domo> 
pointed  his  finger  at  him,  and  said : 

**  Yuuvan  manage  ihcm  if  they  don't  take  to  lying;  but  w 
they  take  to  lying  persistently,  what  arc  you  to  do  ?     You  can't  tell 
ihem  of  it,  you  know."

And  the  major-domo,  without  the  wildest  idea  of  what  Father 
Martin  spoke  about,  said  promptly,  with  the  well-trained  dexterity  of 
an  old  servant,  and  he  a  Frenchman :  *'  Such  a  course  would  be 
wrong  in  two  ways:  in  the  first,  it  would  be  impolitic;  in  the 
second,  ungcntlemanlike." 

Father  Martin  looked  at  him  with  wonder  and  astonishment. 

**  Do  you  mean  to  say  that  you  understand  my  allusion  ?  " 

"  Not  at  all,  M.  I'Abbc,  but  it  is  necessary  for  a  servant  to  give 
a  polite  answer." 

"  Do  you  know,  my  dear  friend,  that  you  arc  very  little  removed 
from  a  foolish  person,"  said  Father  Martin. 

**  it  is  most  likely,  M.  TAbbc.     For  my  part  I  quite  believe  it." 


CHAPTER  XLIII. 
AN   ACCOUNT  OF    THE   PIETV    AKD    VIKTCE   OF  MADAME    D'ISIGNY. 

Madame  D'Isigny  being  thus  established  atMontauban,  beyond 
Father  Martin's  powers  of  removal,  months  and  months  went  on, 
and  she  only  sat  netting  fishermen's  nets,  being  profoundly  affcclionalc 
to  Adeic,  and  profoundly  deferential  to  Father  Martin. 

She  profited  deeply  by  this  good  man's  ministrations.  She  had 
been,  and  she  confessed  it,  exasperated  by  her  husband's  incessant 
contradiction  into  a  state  of  fury  ;  but  that,  she  told  Father  Martin, 
was  all  passed,  and  she  forgave  him.  Would  it  not  be  possible, 
she  asked  him,  to  bring  about  a  reconciliation.  She  for  one  was 
ready. 

Father  Martin  would  be  delighted  to  undertake  the  negotiation. 
Whereupon  Madame  dissolved  into  tears,  and  blessed  him. 

Next,  it  appeared  that  her  religious  state  was  all  wrung  together, 
and  required  seeing  to.  She  never,  she  said,  would  have  got  into 
her  late  state  of  fury  if  she  had  had  the  benefit  of  his  offices. 
Would  he  direct  her  ?  To  which  Martin  replied  that  he  should  be 
most  happy  to  do  so, 

**  I  will  show  you  your  duties,  Madame,  in  a  perfectly  plain 
manner.  It  will  be  better  for  all  who  are  connected  with  yuu  if  you 
will  follow  them.  I  direct  you  therefore  this  night  to  meditate  on 
the  patriarch  Abraham,  who  represents  hospitalit)-,  in  order  that  you 
may  not  abuse  that  of  your  noble  and  good  son-in-law,  by  ruining 
his  very  foolish  wife.     I  also  direct  you  to  pray  to  the  Virgin,  who 


The  G^itiefnnti's  Magaztm.  [March, 


represents  the  piety  of  a  mother  towards  her  child.  I  will  also  to- 
morrow, Madame,  preach  in  the  chapel  to  these  Bretons,  and  1  will 
illustrate  and  expose  the  later  and  spurious  legend  of  St.  KUzabeih, 
of  Thuringia — the  legend  of  the  loaves  and  the  roses,  Madame  \  the 
legend  which  makes  the  good  God  himself  bacic  up  a  lie  by  a 
miracle  ;  a  thing  which  he  never  did  yet,  Madame,  and  never  will." 

Father  Martin  was  not  a  woman'a  priest,  as  I  have  remarked  before. 

In  spite  of  such  very  pronond  spiritual  direciiom  as  these, 
Madame  believed  she  was  humbugging  him.  1  rather  begin  to  be- 
lieve that  a  ihuruugh-gotng  conspirator  will  believe  anything— even 
that  ever)'  needy  rascal,  to  whom  he  unfolds  his  plans,  will  not  scU 
him  for  a  gallon  of  beer  \  else  why  did  that  celebrated  *'  party 
leader,"  Catiline,  go  down  to  the  house  on  a  certain  occasion.  The 
Philistine  Cicero  is  generally  too  strong  for  the  Samson  of  con- 
spiracy ;  for  conspiracy  generally  ends  in  tlie  brealcing  of  shop 
windows,  and  the  world  hates  that  just  now,  as  much  as  it  does  the 
devO. 

Madame  D'Isigny  would  have  deceived  a  younger  priest  ^  she 
only  puzzled  him,  without  fur  a  moment  putting  him  off  his  guard. 
"  What  an  awful  fool  that  woman  is  !  *'  he  said.  "  Docs  she  be- 
lieve that  1  can  forget  that  eight  months  ago  she  was  the  most 
furious  woman  in  France.  Does  she  conceive  mc  Co  be  a  man  de- 
prived of  memory  f  Does  she  think  that  this  continued  quiescence 
on  her  part  will  lull  mt  to  sleep  f  She  evidently  does,  and  is  there- 
fore mad.  1  wish  to  heaven  she  would  make  her  next  move,  1  am 
sick  of  this," 

Madame,  however,  continued  in  a  state  of  the  most  masterly  in- 
activity. She  knew  that  her  work  was  being  done  better  elsewhere, 
and  that  her  rSU  was  to  wait.  She  knew,  although  she  had  na 
precise  intelligence,  that  the  great  earthquake  was  getting  ready  its 
forces  i  the  great  earthquake  which  was  now  preparing  its  vast  sca- 
warc  in  the  south-west  i  that  great  earthquake -wave  which  wa* 
to  burst  at  its  northern  point  against  the  granite  rocks  of  Mont 
Dol,  and  then  recede,  leaving  greater  ruin  in  its  track  than  did  the 
earthquake-wave  described  by  Darwin  at  Concepcion,  She  knew 
all  that,  and  sat  contented,  believing  that  she  was  humbu^ing 
Father  Martin,  and  believing  that  the  majority  of  the  down-trodden 
nusscs  of  France  would  rise  as  one  man,  en  tht  side  of  their  o^ 
pressors.  For  what  will  not  conspirators  believe  ?  Alas  !  our  kte 
police  reports  will  tell  you.

She  sat  there,  netting  nets,  in  1791,  at  nearly  the  furthest  point 
northward  which  ihc  wave  of  reaction  ever  reached.  The  wave 
rose,  burst,  and  retreated ;  and  four  years  afterwards,  a  person, 
different  from  her,  Carrier,  long-feccd,  lanthorn-jawed  lawyer  of 
Auvcrgnc,  was  at  the  southern  point  oi  its  reueat,  at  NaiUcs. 

But  she  made  no  sign  fur  months  and  months.  She  was  a  terrible 
woman,  more  terrible  than  Mcdca,  and  there  was  something  to 
Father  Martin  perfectly  awful  in  her  quiescence.  He  icncw  her,  no 
man  better.  He  had  a  sharp  keen  tongue,  .ind  more  br-iln?  than  she. 
He  had  managed  her  and  bullied  her  in  old  limes  j  now  he  was 
utterly  powerless.  If  she  had  gone  on  her  old  plan  of  violent  objur- 
gation, he  could  have  done  something,  but  now  in  het  silent  mood 
he  could  do  nothing.  She  was  so  dreadfully  ^m</.  The  contem- 
plation of  this  phase  in  her  behaviour  exasperates  mc,  after  eighty 
years,  into  the  vulgarism  of  saying  that  butter  would  not  melt  in  her 
mouth.  Conceive  then  the  effect  which  her  inactivity  must  have 
had  on  a  warm-hearted  and  warm-spoken  man  like  Father  Aiartin. 
If  he  smote  her  on  the  right  check  she  immediately  turned  the 
other;  arvd  when  he  smote  her  on  that  cheek,  as  I  regret  to  say 
he  always  did,  she  turned  the  original  cheek  again,  with  a  charm- 
ing smile. 

"  1  can  do  nothing  on  earth  with  your  mother-in-law,"  he  said, 
testily,  one  day  to  Adcic,  when  they  were  walking  together  among 
the  empty  flower-beds,  for  time  had  gone  on.  ^'  1  can  do  nothing 
with  her  at  all."  -  trr    „ 

**  She  is  converted,"  said  Adelc.  *'  It  is  you  who  have  converted 
her,  you  good  man.  How  good  she  is — how  amiable.  How  wicked 
1  must  have  been  ever  to  have  hated  her." 

Martin  was  too  good  a  man  to  sow  seeds  of  discord,  or  even  to 
give  a  caution  bciwccji  mother  and  child.  He  said  nothing  now  t 
but  when  he  was  gone  to  his  room,  he  said  to  himself,  *^  I  wander 
when  and  how  she  will  show  her  hand,  and  how  she  will  show  it," 

She  only  continued  her  devoduns,  and  the  house  went  on  much  as 
ever.  There  were  two  or  three  visits  from  J^ouis,  and  two  or  three 
letters  from  her  father  and  from  Sheepsdcn,  that  was  all.  Martin 
went  out  about  the  forest,  and  through  the  forest  to  the  poor  people, 
generally  accompanied  by  the  oldest  tbrcstcr. 

One  morning  as  he  was  starting  he  said  to  his  companion :  "  Who 
ii  chat  young  man  who  bowed  to  me  just  now  I  Have  I  not  seen 
his  face  before  ?  "

The  forester  replied  :  *'  C'est  I'Auvcrgnois  dc  Madame  Isigny.'*!

The  old  forestef)  with  all  the  pleasure  which  a  servant  feels  in  ex\ 
citing  your  curiosity   and  astonishment,   gladly   enlarged   upon

**  The  Auvergnois,  one  of  those  whom  the  good  father  had 
rightly  discharged,  and  whom  Madame  had  taken   back  into 
service.     Was  Monsieur  not  aware  ? 

**  Why !  "  said  Martin,  stopping  still  j  **  she  aihd  me  to  dischar 
them." 

"  That  Is  very  possible,  yet  she  has  taken  one  of  them  back. 
was  he  who  look  the  account  of  my  Lord  the  Count's  illness 
Dinan,  and  brought  her  here." 

CHAPTER  XLIV. 


TN    M^ICH    MADAME    BECOMES   ONCE    MORE    ENRAGED. 

One  day,  Adcic  and  Father  Martin,  standing  on  the  terrace 
looking  along  the  northward  avenue,  saw,  in  the  extreme  dtstanc 
above  a  mile  away,  a  group  dressed  In  black,  which  puzzled  them 
still  more  and  more  as  they  very  slowly  approached.  When  they 
were  close  enough  to  them,  they  made  them  out  to  be  a  company  of 
nine  nuns. 

"  What  can  be   the   meaning  of-  this  f "  asked  Martin.      Ai 
Adele  said,  "  Can  it  be  my  aunt  ?  " 

It  was  indeed.  Saint  Catherine's  had  escaped  for  a  longer  time 
than  its  Superior  had  expected,  but  a  revolutionary  band  had 
remembered  it  at  last,  and  swarmed  in  suddenly  at  primes.  Sister 
Priscilla,  trying  to  save  the  pix,  was  killed  by  a  young  man,  and 
was  in  glory,  for  which  they  gave  thanks.  Sister  Priscilla  had  been 
apt  to  be  contradictory  and  use  strenuous  language  with  regard  lo 
trifling  backslidings  of  other  sisters,  but  they  had  loved  her  almost 
the  best  of  all.  The  convent  was  burnt,  and  they  were  left  so 
utterly  helpless  that  it  had  been  two  days  before  sisters  Veronica  and 
AcquiSa,  who  were  very  strong,  had  been  able  to  get  the  grave  of 
sister  Priscilla  deep  enough.  When  they  had  buried  her,  sleeping 
in  the  forest,  [which  was  bad  for  sister  Amie's  rheumatism,)  they 
were  about  to  prepare  themselves  for  death,  having  nothing  to  cat, 
when  the  Superior,  directed  of  God,  bcthoughr  herself  of  her

chateau  of  Montauban,  feeling  assured  that  they  would  Jind  a 
welcome  there.  So  they  had  started,  singing  hymns  and  offices  for 
the  comfort  of  sister  Pavida,  who  was  afraid  of  wolves,  and 
screamed  out  when  she  saw  a  squirrel  or  hare  \  and  coming  very 
slowly,  in  consequence  of  sister  Podagra's  corns,  originally  inflicted 
on  her  for  inattention  in  chapel,  and  not  subsequently  mitigated  by 
frequent  prayers,  although  there  had  been  no  visible  backsliding  on 
her  part.  They  had  avoided  Dinnn,  as  being  dangerous,  and  had 
got  the  route  from  godly  peasants,  one  of  whom  had  given  them 
bread  and  honey  and  mlltc,  and  had  let  them  sleep  in  his  barn :  for 
him  they  would  pray.      And  so  they  had  arrived. 

Here  they  stood,  this  jetsam  from  the  mad  sea  of  revolution,  cast 
on  thii  strange  shore, — women  whose  lives  had  been  given  to  God 
and  to  good  works.  Old  enough,  some  uf  ihem,  to  be  grandmothersj 
simple  in  the  ways  of  the  world  as  babies ;  iitterlv  helpless,  yet  per- 
fectly brave,  with  a  bravery  beyond  that  of  a  soldier :  for  they 
could  die,  these  sillv  women,  without  fear  ;  for  what  was  death  but 
the  gate  of  glory  ?  There  they  stood,  possibly  to  some  eyes  ridicu- 
lous, not  to  mine  :  their  dress  was  unbecoming  and  their  shoes  were 
large  j  they  were  none  of  them  In  the  least  degree  beautiful.  Sister 
Podagra  had  got  her  shoes  off  and  was  openly  attending  to  her  corns  \ 
sister  Pavida,  having  got  over  her  terror  of  wolves,  was  staring  her 
eyes  out  in  wondering  admiration  of  Adcle's  beautiful  clothes  and 
jewels  ;  other  sisteis  were  looking  in  wonder  at  the  splendid  J.igged 
facade  of  the  castle,  others  at  the  beauty  of  the  flowers.  They  were 
dressed  in  clothes,  purposely  made  ridiculously  distinctive  by  the 
founder  of  their  order,  and  even  these  clothes  were  muddy  and  out 
of  order ;  they  looked,  on  the  whole,  absurd,  and  their  belief  was  in 
many  respects  childishly  superstitious  ;  yet  they  knew  how  to  die, 
these  silly  women,  as  well  as  the  best  brandy-primed  Marscillais  of 
them  all.  I  cannot  laugh  at  these  women.  I  know  their  ignorance 
like  another,  but  I  would  make  a  deeper  reverence  to  any  one  of 
them  than  ever  I  would  do  to  a  duchess. 

I  believe  that  Father  Martin  thought  as  I  think  about  them— he 
was  not  a  man  to  express  his  opinions  strongly  -,  but  the  spectacle  ai 
these  poor  brave  draggled  nuns  took  effect  m  the  light,  sensitive,  kind 
little  heart  of  Adetc  in  a  moment.  She  left  the  comparative  degree 
of  existence  (she  had  abandoned  the  positive  to  that  slow  Mathilde 
years  ago)  and  went  in  for  superlatives.  The  sack  of  St.  Catherine's 
was  the  wickedest  thing  done  since  the  murder  of  the  Innocents  by

and  her  jewels,  swept  the  herd  of  clumsily  shod  old  nuns  into  the 
chateau  before  her,  giving  her  arm  to  sister  Podagra  in  the  rear. 
And  when  she  had  got  them  in,  she  did  with  them  as  she  liked. 

Perhaps  it  was  a  pretty  picture  to  sec  this  beautiful  little  creature 
in  pinJc  and  jewels  bustling  about  among  these  foolish  dull  c tad  oli 
nuns,  attending  to  their  wants.  Perhaps  Jt  was  a  pretty  thing  to  see 
her  lay  the  baby  in  sister  Veronica's  lap  and  &.iy,  *'  Now,  you  will 
believe,  you  foolish  old  woman."  Perhaps  it  was  pretty  to  see  the' 
nuns,  set  in  a  row  on  chairs,  served  with  the  best  of  everything  by 
Adele's  new  staff  of  Breton  footmen.  I  cannot  certainly  say  what 
is  pretty,  but  this  has  struck  me  as  being  so. 

When  Adcle  had  seen  to  their  wants  and  had  made  them  comfort- 
able,  she  stuod  in  the  middle  of  them  beaming  with  pleasure.  They 
are  safe  htrt  at  all  events.  Suddenly  she  said,  "  Where  is  sister 
Priscilla,  have  you  left  her  behind  ?  " 

Sister  Veronica,  the  out-spoken  sister,  said,  "  Sister  Priscilla, 
who  was  very  strong  and  resolute,  fought  with  a  young  man  Iqx  the 
pix  containing  the  holy  body,  and  what  is  more,  the  ring  of  St. 
Catherine,  with  which— (I  cannot  go  on.  Romish  legends  f;o  too 
far  for  me).  It  was  our  only  relic  and  we  placed  it  in  the  pil 
surreptitiously,  thinking  to  keep  it  safe.  And  she  fought  this  young 
man  for  the  pix,  and  he  killed  her." 

"  Is  sister  Priscilla  murdered  ? "  cried  Adele. 

"  Yes  J  the  young  man  killed  her  for  the  sake  of  the  pix  :  and  Wi 
had  much  Uouble  in  burying  her;  for  our  best  spade  got  burnt  in 
the  hre,  and  we  were  two  days  in  doing  it,  or  we  should  have  been 
here  before." 

Adcle  put  her  pretty  hands  over  her  shell-like  ears.  The  flood  of 
the  Revolution  was  all  around  her,  and  the  tide  seemed  rising  to 
her  feet. 

Meanwhile,  Madame  D'Isigiiy,  the  Lady  Superior,  who,  though  in

many  ways  as  simple  as  the  olher*,  wa»  in  some  sort  a  woman  of  the 
world,  was  staying  behind  her  nuns  aJiil  talking  to  Father  Martin. 

"  Is  ic  true  that  my  brother  has  taken  to  the  new  ideas  ? " 

*'  He  has  no  ideas,  he  is  utterly  adrift/' 

"Will  they  try  to  kill  us?" 

"  Unless  the  south-west  keeps  quiet,  certainly." 

"  Is  this  place  safe  ?"  she  asked. 

"  Most  dangerous.  It  is  too  far  north.  And  I  have  no  ultimate 
hope  from  the  south,"  suid  he. 

"  One  will  have  to  die,  then." 

"  One  wilt  have  to  die." 

*'  It  matters  not  much,  one  has  nothing  to  live  for." 

"  One  has  much^to  live  for,"  said  Martin  \  **  one  has  to  live  for  a 
purified  France.  But,  then,  they  will  not  lee  us  live ;  it  is  their  policy. 
Do  you  know  that  Madame,  your  sister-in-law,  is  heie  ?" 

'*  One  has  been  terrified  by  so  much  that  one  is  not  even  afraid  of 
her.     We  must  meet,  1  suppose ;  let  us  meet  quickly." 

"  You  will  find  her  changed.  What  her  reception  of  you  may 
be  I  cannot  at  all  undertake  to  say.  I  think  it  will  be  an  agreeable 
one." 

It  wat  a  most  agreeable  one  for  all  parties :  there  was  no  osten- 
tation about  it  whatever.  Was  it  possible  that  Madame  D'Isigny 
began  to  sec  that  she  had  overacted  her  part  with  regard  to  Father 
Martin,  and  was  determined  not  to  repeat  her  mistakes ;  that  is  most 
probable.  There  was  certainly  no  attempt  whatever  to  overact  it 
in  the  case  of  her  sister-in-law.  The  poor  draggled  old  nun,  who 
had  been  frightened  beyond  terror, — who,  in  the  last  terrible  passage 
uf  her  life,  having  had  the  rcspoii5ibi!i[y  of  seven  others  weaker  than 
herself  thrust  upon  her,  and  who,  in  consequence  of  this  feeling  of 
responsibility — of  having  to  care  for  others  who  could  not  care  for 
themselves,— had  risen  to  heroism ;  this  old  woman  was  afraid  of 
nothing  now,  not  even  of  the  terrible  ^ladame  D'Isigny.  The 
bitterness  of  death  was  passed  with  her. 

She  was  shown  by  Father  Martin  into  a  long,  large,  dim  tlrawing- 
room,  filled  with  bTic-a-hracy  and  beautiful  fiddle-faddle  expensive 
tomfooleries  of  all  kinds  :  astonishing  to  her,  for  she  had  looked  on 
the  Revolution,  and  had  believed  that  all  such  things  had  romc  to  an 
end.  The  deep  carpet  on  which  she  walked  made  no  echo  from 
her  clumsy  shoes.  She  saw  in  a  distant  window  illuminated  by  the 
last  gleam  of  a  wild  sunset  a  figure,  which  sat  at  work :  it  was  that  of 


D  3

[ARCH, 


the  awful  Madame  D'Isigny.     She  rose,  tall,  gaunt)  and  graceful, 
and  came  towards  her.     She  kissed  her  and  said  quietly, — 

'*  We  old  women  are  being  driven  south  rapidly,  and  co  the  soutft ' 
is  the  sea.     Our  time  is  not  long.     Let  us  try  to  love  one  another^ 
to  forgive  and  to  forget." 

Kindness  opened  the  floodgates  of  the  Lady  Superior's  heart  ac^ 
once.     She  was  in  tears  directly ;  and  Alartin  saw  at  once  that  hisj 
influence  was  gone,  and  that  any  warnings  he  might  address  to  the' 
Lady  Superior  about  her  sistcr-in-law  were  worse  than  useless.     He 
let  it  go  i  saying  that  it  was  in  God's  hands,  and  so  these  two  excel- 
lent women  began  unconsciously  to  labour  as  hard  at  the  digging  of 
Mathllde's  grave,  as  ever  the  two  strong  sisters  had  to  dig  the  grare 
of  the  martyred  sister  I'riscilU. 


"  You  have  now  looked  on  the  Revolution  yourself,  my  dear," 
said  D'Isigny's  wife  to  D'lsigny's  sister,  when  the  poor  old  nun  had 
got  her  cold  feet  on  the  fender,  and  was  having  weak  negus.  *^  You 
have  seen  some  of  its  earlier  results.  Do  you  now  blame  me  for  my  j 
fury  against  it  f " 

The  Lady  Superior  was  obliged  to  say  **  No." 

"  I  am  furious,"  said  Madame  D'Isigny.  "But  I  can  be  Sttf 
cicntly  calm  and  gentle  at  times.  I  can  be  calm  and  gentle  with  fom 
in  your  adversity,  although  you  remember  my  behaviour  to  you  ia 
your  prosperity.  Sister,  the  men  are  all  half-hearted.  It  is  left  t9.i 
weak  women  to  stop  this  Revolution.  I  calculate  on  your  assistance. 
Your  sanctity  and  goodness  is  known  even  here.  Among  these 
peasants  we  must  utilise  it,  as  I  intend  to  utilise  my  daughter's 
beauty  and  amiability.  Sister,  it  lies  with  us  to  stop  this  w!ck« 
Bood  of  nlheisui  and  di^luyalty,  which  men  call  the  Revolution." 

**  But  I  doubt  there  will  be  more  bloodshed,  sister,"  said  the  poor 
Lady  Superior. 

"  I  hope  so,"^said  Madame  D'Isigny,  rising.  " Sister  Priscilla's death 
is  not  avenged  yet.  We  will  have  masses  for  her— bah  !  I  forget  the 
details  in  my'growing  fury.  Come  to  bed.  Wc  will  talk  of  it  again." 

She  put  the  old  woman  tenderly  to  bed,  and  staid  with  her  a  Long 
time — to  give  Father  Martin  time  to  go  to  bed.  He,  on  the  other 
hand,  did  nothing  of  the  kind,  but  waited  with  his  door  ajar,  know- 
ing that  she  must  pass  it. 

He  heard  her  coming,  and  stood  out  into  the  passage  to  stop  her.

lamp  held  close  before  her  face.  Tall,  dim,  colourless,  inexorable. 
In  her  steady,  pitiless  gait  he  saw  the  as  yet  unorganised  reaction 
which  was  10  destroy  them  \  in  her  splendid  beauty  he  saw  the 
matrix  of  the  almost  incredible  beauty  of  her  two  daughters ;  in  her 
terribly  set  face  he  saw  the  only  woman  who  had  used  the  weapons 
of  the  prccisionist  D'Isigny  against  himself,  and  had  beaten  him  with 
them.  She  was  as  terrible  as  Medea  ;  yet  he  was  not  in  the  least 
afraid  uf  her.  He  put  himself  in  her  path,  and  told  her  Co  stop. 
She  thrust  out  her  breast,  and  looked  on  him. 
"  Out  of  my  way,  priest  \ "  she  said.  "  I  am  not  in  the  humour 
for  priests.     I  am  tnragi'e.''* 

**  It  matters  litde  to  mc,  Madame,  whether  you  are  sane  or  in- 
sane. I  intend  to  be  heard,  and  I  will  be  heard.  I  always  knew  you 
to  be  ferocious,  but  I  liked  you  better  in  your  worst  old  moods  of 
ferocity  than  I  do  now,  when  you  arc  cowardly  and  deceitful." 
"  How  dare  you  use  such  words  to  mc  1  " 
"  How  date  I  ?  To  whom  do  you  tHk.  ?  Do  you  not  know  that 
you  are  making  a  tool  of  our  Imbecile  little  Marquise,  and  that 
equally  imbecile  old  nun,  to  forward  your  reactionary  plots  ?  " 

"  I  know  It  well.     I  use  them.     And  why  not  ?     I  use  them,  and 
1  mean  to  use  them.     Do  you  then  declare  for  the  Revolution  ? " 
"  By  no  means,  Madame." 

*^  Then  huld  your  tongue.  I  don't  say  get  out  of  my  way, 
because  I  wish  to  pour  a  little  more  scorn  over  your  head  before  I 
have  done  with  you.  I  have  kept  quiet  loo  long.  Vesuvius  was 
quiet  three  thousand  years,  and  then  it  destroyed  Pompeii.  I  have 
tried  to  be  good,  but  I  can't.  I  could  go  in  for  Maratlsm,  but  this 
twopenny  Feuillanism  has  maddened  mc  again.  I  come  of  the 
nation  which  has  conquered  India,  and  I  am,  as  my  nation  sometimes 
is,  in  a  dangerous  mrKid.  You  are  going  on  to  object  to  my  making 
this  house  the  stronghold  of  a  Loyalist  plot.  I  am  going  to  do  so." 
"  Will  you  not  think  of  the  danger  to  your  own  daughter, 
Madame  ? "  said  Father  Martin,  suddenly  altering  his  tone  to  about 
an  ocuve  lower.  "  Will  you  not  consider  that  this  is  a  suspected 
house,  and  that  it  is  the  very  worst  place  in  which  to  concoct  a 
reactionist  plot  f  " 

"  My  own  daughter  must  take  her  own  chance.  I  fancy  that  I 
ani  as  good  a  judge  o(  these  matters  as  you  arc.  Still  understand 
this  for  the  future,  that  I  am  once  more  enraged,  and  leave  me 
alone."  •

CHAPTER  XLV. 

PARIS, 

Father  Martin  soon  wrote  to  Louis. 

"  My  DEAR  Louis, — There  are  only  two  men  in  the  worM, 
believe,  who  can  keep  any  given  woman  out  of  mischief, — her  hus- 
band and  her  priest."  The  priest  can  generally  do  it,  if  the  woniaii 
is  fool  enough ;  when  he  tails,  he  must  call  in  ihc  husband. 

"  I  wish  you  would  come  here,  and  come  at  once.  There  will 
be  heads  filling  if  you  do  not.  Your  motbcr-in-Iaw  is  here.  She 
has  taken  full  possession  of  the  pbce,  and  every  one  here  is  entirely 
under  her  influence,  with  the  exception  of  myself.  Your  aunt,  who 
has  brought  her  nuns  here  for  refuge,  is  utterly  under  her  linger. 
Adele  adores  her,  and  is  so  entirely  her  stave  that  she  attributes  any 
little  warnings  which  I  have  dared  to  give-  her  against  her  mother  to 
jealousy.  Yesterday,  on  mv  praying  her  to  be  cautious,  and  not  H> 
believe  all  her  mother  said  about  the  chances  of  Royalist  success,  she 
broke  out  on  me,  and  accused  mc  of  making  mischief  betweea 
mother  and  child. 

"  My  influence  with  your  wife  is  gone  since  the  arrival  of  your 
mother-in-law.  How  much  you  may  yourself  possess,  I  have  no 
means  of  knowing.      But,  for  heaven's  sake,  conic. 

"  I  imagine  that  there  are  two  things  which  you  would  ask  me. 
The  first.  Why  do  I  not  use  my  old  influence  over  Madame 
D'Isigny  ? 

*'  My  answer  is,  that  it  is  utterly  gone.  I  am  nut  more  afraid  of 
her  than  I  ever  was ;  indeed,  dear  Louis,  I  think  that  I  have  no  more 
fear  of  anything  than  had  my  own  Andre — son  of  my  heart ! — my 
child  in  God  I — my  beloved — taken  to  heaven  like  Elijah — ^whom 
I  shall  meet,  l^imporit,  1  have  no  fear  of  anything,  but  this 
woman  lights  mc  on  equal  terms.  She  does  not  beat  mc,  but  she  is 
no  longer  afraid  of  me,  and  will  no  longer  obey  me.  To  her  furj"  I 
give  back  calm  scorn ;  it  is  all  I  have  to  give,  but  it  is  useless.  I 
am  absolutely  powerless  with  her.  She  has  Said  many  times  that  she 
and  Marat  represent  the  fuiy  of  the  RevoluUon,  and  upon  my  honour

she  15  perfectly  right.  She  has  passed  miles  bej-ond  the  point  which 
I  would  allow  myself  to  pass  in  any  cause.  I  would  stop  short  and 
testify  to  my  cause  by  martyrdom  (a  dangerously  powerful  testimony, 
as  those  who  know  history  can  tell  you),  long  before  I  would 
dream  of  casting  myself  into  the  headlong,  blind,  stupid  fury  of  a 
Jacquerie  or  of  a  Stuart  reaction.  I  have  lost  all  hold  over  the 
woman.  As  for  Adcle,  she  dare  not  say  that  her  life  is  her  own.  I 
am  quite  powerless. 

'•*■  The  other  question  which  I  should  think  you  would  put  to  mc 
is  this,  What  are  they  doing,  these  women  of  ours?  I  do  not  know. 
I  do  not  believe  tht;)'  entirely  know  themselves.  But  one  thing  I  am 
sure  of;  every  revolutionary  committee  for  miles  round  does.  I  am 
loyal  and  Christian,  I  need  hardly  say ;  but  this  castle  of  yours  is  tcm 
far  north  for  cither  loyalty  or  Christianity.  We  arc  a  mere  outpost. 
Madame  was  playing  this  game,  with  her  usual  courage,  at  Dinan, 
even  further  north,  but  has  removed  her  implements  of  conspiracy 
to  this  place.  I  cannot  sleep  for  mysterious  whistlings  under  my 
window.  One  of  those  most  unhappy  Auvergnois,  whom  your 
mother-in-law  has  taken  back  into  favour  (not,  I  think,  knowing  who 
he  is),  is  Mercury  to  the  whole  business.  The  others,  whom  I  dis- 
charged with  your  consent,  are  mainly,  as  far  as  I  can  understand, 
revolutionary.  What  the  awful  danger  may  be  of  a  band  of  Mame- 
lukes, brought  up  in  the  contempt  of  (Jod  and  in  every  form  of 
luxury  and  vice,  and  then  turned  loose,  I  leave  you  to  decide  ;  and 
this  young  Mameluke,  whom  Madame  has  in  her  pay,  almost 
certainly  betrays  us  to  his  brothers. 

^*  Again,  I  am  told  nothing.  Last  night  1  went  into  the  library  late 
to  get  my  Ansclm's  ^  Mcdiiatiotis '  with  F^nelon's  'Autograph 
Annotations.'  You  knew  it  and  loved  it  in  old  times — no,  I  forgot 
— it  was  Andre  who  knew  and  loved  it.  I  beg  pardon  ;  and  lo ! 
after  I  opened  the  door,  there  was  what  the  South  American 
Spaniards  call  an  cstampcdo.  That  very  hair-brained  young  man, 
La  Rochejacquelcin,  was  winding  your  mother-in-law's  string,  and  a 
common  sailor,  or  to  be  mure  correct  a  sea-captain,  a  man  miles 
removed  from  a  gentleman,  was  being  shown  pictures  by  Adele  in 
a  book.  The  name  of  the  sailor,  I  afterwards  Icanied,  Is  Charctte. 
And  I  don't  like  the  looks  of  him  ;  his  face  seems  to  mc  both  cruel 
and  mean. 

**  He  is  on  our  side,  you  say,  and  thine  is  only  a  priest's  judgment. 
It  is  possible  :    nevertheless,  you  c9me  hen^  ami  ame  quickly" 


293 


Ths  Gentleman's  Magazine.  [March, 


No  doubt  Louis  would  have  come  quickly  enough,  but  unfor- 
tunately the  arrests  had  began,  and  Louis  was  safe  in  the  ctsncitrgtr'te. 
So  he  was  saved  the  pain  of  reading  :hi5  letter,  and  continued  bowing 
among  his  brother  aristocrats,  believing  that  his  vi\ic  was  sufficiently- 
far  south-westward  to  be  safe.     But  the  letter  was,  I  need  not  say, 
read  by  others,  and  a  revolutionary  cordon  was  placed  round  Mont-       g 
auban  at  once.     I  will  not  insult  the  reader's  reason  by  pointing  out^H 
the  small  fact  that  the  Mameluke  in  the  pay  of  the  infuriated  Madame  ^^ 
D'Ii>igny,  carried  every  item  of  uews  to  his  four  brothers  and  his 
twelve  cousins.     I  can  only  reiterate  with  every  feeling  of  reverence 
the  words  of  our  Litany — "  From  all  sedition,  privy  conspiracjr,  and 
rebellion,  Good  Ix>rd,  deliver  us." 

That  nest  of  loyalist  conspiracy  at  Montauban  was  considered  by 
the  Revolutionists  too  good  a  one  to  be  dibturbed.  "  A  hen  always 
lays  in  the  same  place,"  said  Dcsmoulins  (who,  judging  from  his 
writings,  had  a  somewhat  powerful  tongue  inside  that  loose  and  rather 
worthless  mouth  of  his) ;  ^'  wait  till  the  eggs  are  all  bid,  and  then 
take  them."  Madame  D'Isigny  went  on,  and  believed  that  her  plot 
was  hidden  in  darkness  ;  while  Father  Martin,  whose  tongue  was 
tied}  saw  her  own  Mameluke  trying  not  to  laugh  in  her  face. 

Mirabcau  was  dead  and  buried,  but  there  was  no  king  to  send  for 
D'Isigny:  "  Taut  pis  pour  lui,"  said  one  old  friend.  D'Isigny  was 
reduced  to  walking  and  stalking  up  and  down  Paris,  and  to  proving 
to  every  one  who  allowed  himself  to  be  button-holed,  that  all  this 
might  have  been  prevented,  that  he  was  the  only  person  who  could 
have  prevented  ic,  and  that  it  was  only  the  Queen's  party  which  had 
prevented  his  being  sent  for  at  Mimbeau's  death.  A  great  many 
people  believed  him  :  reiterated  assertion  is  about  the  most  powerful 
weapon  I  know  of.  But  Louis  de  Valognes  got  thrown  into  prison, 
and  things  otherwise  went  wrong,  or  at  least  not  as  he  thought  thcv 
would  go  t  and  he  began  to  feel  that  he  could  not  make  head  or  (ail 
of  it. 

Whether  his  head  carried  him,  or  whether  his  legs  carried  him,  I 

Ldo  not  know,  but  he  went  one  afternoon  to  the  Rue  Jacquerie.  He 
had  been  warned  that  it  was  dangerous,  but  what  cared  he  ?  The 
people  swarmed  in  the  street  as  before,  but  looked  more  savage,  more 
furious.  Vet  they  knew  him.  They  were  to  wade  knee-deep  in 
blood  directly,  but  they  kiiew  htm  and  let  htm  pass.  And  he  walked 
on,  utterly  unconscious  of  the  sympathy  which  these  pcoplcj  now 
utterly  maddened  people,  felt  for  him.   At  one  point  there  was  nearly 


i868.] 


Mademoiselle  Mathilde. 


293 


an  end  of  him.  A  wild-loolcing  young  man,  exasperated  beyond 
bearing  by  his  clothes,  his  beauty,  hi&  cleanliness,  his  air  of  com- 
mand, who  knows,  ran  out  to  attack  him.  And  two  women  ran  out 
and  cast  themselves  on  the  young  man,  holding  him.  *^  You  shall 
not  touch  him,"  said  the  women.  "He  is  an  aristocrat,  but  he  is  the 
man  who  took  up  the  dead  child  and  kissed  It."  And  so  D'Isigny 
passed  on,  with  his  head  in  the  air,  and  his  hand  on  his  sword,  totally 
unconscious  that  the  one  little  touch  of  ordinary  human  lave  which 
he  had  shown  here  a  year  ago,  had  saved  his  life  now.  Fur  there  was 
no  accord  between  classes,  or  there  would  hardly  have  been  iuch  a 
Revolution. 

The  streets,  as  in  his  former  visit,  grew  more  aiid  more  empty  as 
they  got  narrower.  D'Isigny  had  learnt  the  habits  of  the  mail  with 
whom  he  wished  to  speak,  and  stood  quietly  in  the  middle  of  the 
street.  It  was  getting  dusk,  cocicshot  time  as  they  would  have  said

could  to  prevent  his  Upsing  into  the  utter  squalor  which  his  mistres: 
would  have  permitted.     He  wore  tight-fitting  breeches,  grey  stock' 
ings,  and  tied  shoes ;  his  legs  and  feet  were  welt  shaped  and  well 
clothed,  but  his  upper  garments  were  distinctly  Bedlamite. 

He  wore  a  loose  redingote  buttoned  across  his  throat,  but  nowhe 
else,  over  which  flowed  and  waved  in  the  witid  a  targe  white  sc 
he  was  bareheaded,  for  he  held  his  hat  in  his  hand,  and  as  he  advanced 
gesticulated  with  his  two  arms  wildly,  talking  to  himself  the  while,  ' 
sometimes  in  accents  of  persuasion,  sometimes  of  fiirictus  dcnuncia-  ^j 
tion.  And  as  he  came  fluttering  on  his  way  to  his  club,  lo,  thcrs^f 
was  D'lsigny,  calm,  clean,  perfectly  dressed,  who  stood  at  the  corner,  ^^ 
leaning  against  the  wall,  who  stopped  Marat  by  the  mere  force  of  his  I 
eye,  some  would  say ;  by  the  mere  power  of  his  clothes  and  looks,  I 
should  say.  Marat  was,  however,  aware  of  a  "  foreign  substance,"  | 
and  came  up  to  D'lsigny.  ^y 

"You  are  D'lsigny  the  Breton  ?  "  he  said.  ^ 

"  I  am.  Your  people  have  arrested  my  son-in-law,  and  he  is  in 
the  co/tderg^rie." 

"  Is  your  daughter  MathiEde  married,  then  ? "  said  Marat. 

"  She  is  not.  I  speak  of  the  husband  of  my  daughter  Adele :  the 
Marquis  dc  Valogncs." 

"  An  aristocrat  ?  " 

"A  marquis  is  generally  an  aristocrat,"  said  D'lsigny. 

"  Huruges  is  not,  but  I  will  not  argue,"  said  Marat.  "  What  do 
you  wish  me  to  do,  then .'  " 

**  To  have  my  son-in-law  set  free.*' 

"  I  fear  I  have  not  the  power,"  said  Marat,  standing  with  his  toes 
pointed  inward,  ajid  his  nervous  lean  thighs  showing  through  his 
breeches,  before  the  solemn  D'lsigny,  who  towered  above  him  in 
height,  and  whose  figure  was  thoroughly  draped.  "  I  fear  I  cannot 
do  that  for  you.  I  will  do  everything  I  can,  but  not  that.  Besides, 
he  is  better  where  he  is  than  loose.  Let  him  slay.  Is  your  daughter 
Mathilde  here  ?  " 

"  She  is  in  England." 

"  Keep  her  there.     No  man  can  serve  his  own  brother  in  (he 
times.     I  must  die,  I  know  thati  but  I  can  die  without  murmur  if 
see  some  others  dead  before  I  go.      And  I  am  not  all  wolf.      I  am  s

Marquis,  let  him  stay  in  the  cencierger'te i  he  is  safe  enough  there; 
but  don't,  in  Heaven's  name,  let  your  daughter  Mathilde  &ct  foot  in 
France.  She  is  too  outspoken.  Why,  she  spoke  out  for  roe  when 
you  all  loathed  and  hated  mc." 

**  M.  Marat,  you  are  not  aU  unkind,"  said  D'Uigny,  feeling  the 
same  sort  of  strange  attraction  to  the  man  whkh  the  French  popu- 
lation did. 

'•'■  I  am  not  all  unkind,"  said  Marat.  *'  I  love  the  people  too  well 
to  be  all  unkind.  I  am  furious,  and  I  am  wicked,  and  I  am  cruel. 
But,  D'liigny,  our  case  is  good." 

^'  "Your  case  is  iciiibly  good  ;  but  your  means,  my  good  sir  \  " 

Marat  laughed  ;  but  was  serious  again  at  once.  "  Never  mind 
my  means.  Give  this  message  to  your  daughter  Mathilde.  Tell  her 
that  she  has  nearly  made  mc  love  Christianity.  By  the  bye,  does 
your  other  daughter  live  at  a  place  called  Moiitauban  ?  Is  she  the 
Marquise  de  Valogncs  who  lives  there?  " 

"  Cenainly,"  said  D'Isigny. 

"Send  her  away  directly.  Stay  i  I  will  watch  matters  for  you. 
Yes  ;  let  things  go  as  they  arc  ;  I  can  remember  old  kindness.  Wjjl 
you  trust  me  ? " 

"  I  will,  M.  Marat,"  said  D'Isigny.  "  Where  are  you  going 
to-night  ? " 

"  I  am  going,"  said  Marat,  '*  to  meet  all  the  furies  of  hell.  I 
am  going  to  the  club  of  the  Jacobijis.  Now,  you  sleek  man,  you 
pious  man,  you  man  with  the  wcll-shavcn,  beautifully-m.idc  face,  and 
the  perfectly-made  clothes,  who  Is  the  most  bloodthirsty  devil  of  the 
whole  of  us  at  the  Jacobins  ?  " 

"  You  are,"  said  D'Isigny,  quietly. 

"I  am  only  the  dog  who  bites  and  tears,"  said  Marat;  "but 
who  is  the  sly  cat  ?  That  cat — that  devil,  Maximilian  Robespierre. 
I  would  destroy  you,  for  you  arc  dangerous  i  but  I  will  spare  you  and 
yours  for  the  sake  of  your  daughter  Mathilde.  I  f  Robespierre  had  a 
hundred  daughters,  c:ich  one  a  hundred  times  better  than  yours,  1

but  tlioroughly  vinuous  and  uncompromising  people,  like  your  wife 
and  your  daughter  Mathilde,  must  die.  People  like  yourself  and 
your  daughter  Adcle  arc  not  very  dangerous  to  the  Revolution.    We

would  keep  you  alive  as  an  example.  Buc  people  like  your  wife  anil 
jrour  daughter  Mathildc  arc  tuo  good  to  be  allowrcd  to  live.  They 
must  die.  I  don't  want  any  good  examples  on  the  other  side.  The 
man  Roland's  wife,  for  instance,  is  pertinaciously  virtuous.  She  must 
go,  or  she  will  ruin  the  Rcvolurion." 

**  Do  you  mean,"  said  D'lsigiiy,  "  that  you  will  kill  her?  " 
"  Yes,"  said  Marat.  **  Now,  attend  to  me.  The  Revolution  will 
begin  in  bloodshed  and  wickedness  ;  but  will  cnd^  I  believe,  in  good. 
Such  people  as  you  and  your  daughter  Adcle  I  can  save.  Such 
noble  warriors  as  your  wife  and  your  daughter  Mathildc  I  cannot 
save,  though  I  will  do  my  best.  Wc  arc  going  to  have  the  Revolu-

Smiling  at  me  with  those  cursed  thin  lips  oi  yours  ;  but  what  I  say 
is  true,  in  spite  of  your  shallow  smile.      You  will  go  down  like  c

u!^ 


before  us  \  buc  I  want  to  spare  your  daughter.     I  might  as  well  tal 
to  the  fountain  in  the  PInce  de  la  Revolution.     Remember  what  I 
have  said  about  your  wife,  for  whom,  they  say,  you  don't  care  much; 
and  remember,  again,,  about  Mathildc.     Do  not  let    her  come 
France." 

So  he  went,  fluttering  like  a  great  bat — fluttering,  with  out- 
stretched arms,  under  his  dark  rcdingote.  And  D'Isigny,  who 
might  have  taken  his  warning,  stood  like  a  well-dressed  pump  at 
the  corner  of  the  street ;  and,  after  long  cogitations,  came  to  the 
Conclusion  that  Marat  was  a  lunatic.  As  if  any  one  had  evi 
doubted  the  fact. 

In  Paris,  at  that  time,  there  was  a  little  club  within  a  club.  If 
a  sort  of  Whig  club,  because  it  was  called  the  Henri  Quatre.     The 
members  of  it  were  mainly  aristocratic  Fcuillans  and  Girondists  ^^_ 
but  as  exclusive  as  the  Traveller's  or  White's.     At  this  club  y(M^| 
might  air  the  most  outrageous  Voltaircism,  but  you  must  have  your 
generations  of  nobility.     Of  course,  D'lsigny  belonged  to  it.     He 
went  to  it  the  same  evening,  after  his  interview  with  Marat;    and  he 
told  old  Count  Gobemouchc,  with  whom  he  dined,  that  Marat 
mad.

IPHICBNIA    IN    TAURtS. 

Theke  is  no  doubt  that  Marat  was  mad,  though  there  was  a 
certain  method  in  his  madness ;  but  things  at  this  time  hitched,  and 
when  things  httch  there  is  ape  to  be  a  catastrophe.  The  hitch  was 
the  arrest  of  Louis  dc  Vatogncs.  Louis  dc  Valogncs  was  in  the  ean- 
dergerity  and  just  at  that  time  6ve  hundred  Marats  could  not  have 
got  him  out  of  it.  So  the  foolish  woman's  plot  at  Montauban,  the 
consequences  of  which  were  to  fill)  on  utterly  i:mocciit  shoulJerSy 
went  on. 

It  was  all  very  well  for  Father  Miirtin  to  beg  them  to  be  cautious. 
They  had  all  that  aptiric  courage  which  women  havt  who  have  never 
tnown  danger,— the  courage  of  women  who  have  been  kept  from 
danger  by  the  men  whom  the  rules  of  society  have  set  to  guard  them, 
and  who  f^ncy  th»t  they  can  face  danger  as  well  without  as  with 
their  male  protectors.  Madame  D'Isigny  (who  scarcely  came  under 
this  caiegoryt  however)  declared  herself  to  be  in  a  state  of  rebellion, 
and  defied  Father  Martin,  and  invented  a  sentence  of  *' brave  words" 
for  him.  She  said  that  he  only  wanted  courage  to  declare  for  the 
Revolution^  which  words,  being  long  and  apparently  meaning  some- 
thing, had  a  great  effect  on  Adclc,  who  reproduced  them  by  saying 
"  That  Father  Martin,  though  strangely  positive  on  some  matters, 
seemed  to  be  making  up  his  mind  about  this  wicked  Revolution,  and 
was  a  long  time  doing  it."  Even  that  poor,  gentle,  kindly  old  nun, 
D'Isigny's  sister,  picked  up  a  stone,  about  as  hard  as  a  boiled  turnip, 
and  slung  it  at  Father  Martin's  head.  She  saJd  that  he  was  obviously 
bent  on  Gallicising  the  Church,  and  that  it  never  would  do.  In 
short,  three  foolish  women,  one  of  them  clever  and  furious,  were  too 
much  for  this  good  priest,  and  beat  hiin. 

He  asked  them  tn  let  him  come  into  their  counsels.  No.  He 
argued  with  them,  and  showed  ihcm  that  their  cause  was  the  same 
as  his  own ;  but  they  would  not  trust  him.  Lastly,  he  earnestly 
begged  and  prayed  of  them  not  to  be  so  ridiculously  mysterious  i  and 
told  them  that  with  their  everlasting  midnight  messengers  they  were 
ruining  both  the  cause  and  themselves — rousing  the  suspicions  of 
every  disaffected  person  in  the  country.  They  paid  no  attention  to 
him.     They  had  a  nice  little  conspiracy,  and  they  meant  to  enjoy  it. 


The  GentUmatCs  Magazine.  [March, 


Father  Martin's  power  was  gone ;  ihc  wch-rcbcl,  Madame  D'lsigtiy, 
had  fairiy  beaten  him,  aiid  he  Iwukcd  for — nay,  prayed  for — the  arrival 
of  the  master  of  the  house,  the  so]e  man  who  had  power  to  say,  ^'  I 
will  have  this  thing  done,  and  I  will  have  this  other  thing  not  done." 

My  friend  Martin  was  not  a  man  who  would  give  up  the  pre- 
rogative which  his  Church  gives  a  priest ;  but  then  he  was  a  wise 
priest.  His  most  important  ally  was  always  the  m^j/rrof  the  house. 
He  was  nut,  as  I  have  said  before,  a  woman's  priest.  He  used  to  say 
in  convivial  times  that  the  only  perfect  constitution  was  the  British : 
that  the  House  of  Commons  represented  the  male  bread-wiiining 
clement,  and  the  throne  the  female.  **  Then,  don't  you  sec,  if  the 
throne  rebels,  as  it  often  does,  the  House  of  Commons  can  stop 
supplies,  and  refuse  to  pay  even  the  milliner's  bills.  So  my  ally  in 
every  house  is  the  master.  The  priest  is  the  House  of  Lords,  the 
moderator.      My  true  ally  is  the  Commons,  or  piirsc-holdcr." 

Now  in  this  case  there  w.is  the  throne  in  flar  rebellion,  and  the 
House  o(  Commons,  represented  by  Louis  de  Vatogncs,  not  fbrth- 
'<oming.      Father  Martin  was  fairly  beaten. 

The  gay  and  bright  Louis  de  Valogiies  was  in  the  tonciergtrie. 
The  Revolution  had  come  home  to  him^  among  others.  I  wish  to 
touch  as  lightly  as  possible  on  the  mere  tacts  of  the  politics  of  that 
year,  having  before  me  the  example  of  almost  the  most  splendid 
novel  ever  written — in  which  one  gets  almost  wearied  with  un- 
familiar politics. 

D'Isigny,  stalking  up  ajid  down  Paris,  and  saying  the  first  thing 
which  came  into  his  head,  got  himself  somehow  informed  that  Louis 
de  Valogncs  was  arrested  ;  and  having  seen  Marat  and  dined  with 
Gobemouche,  thought  that  he  might  as  well  go  and  sec  Louis. 

He  was  arrested.  All  the  world  was  arrested  now.  A  man  of 
his  (D'Ulgny's)  eminence  would  be  pretty  sure  to  be  arrested  soon. 
But  he  must  in  common  decency  go  and  see  him  ;  and  so  he  stalked 
ofi"  to  the  csnciergtrit  and  banged  the  door  with  his  cane,  to  the  un- 
utterable astonishment  of  the  National  Guard  sentries  and  the  strange 
ioaBng  putriuis  around. 

The  wicket  was  opened  by  a  slovenly  gentleman,  who  did  not 
seem  to  appreciate  M.  D'Isign/s  appearance  in  anyway.  D'Isigny 
thought  him  an  objectionable-looking  person ;  but  this  person 
evidently  thought  him  more  than  objectionable.  For  D'Isigny  was 
far  too  neat,  too  clean,  and  too  ornamental  for  the  present  phase  of 
French  thought.

"  I  wish  to  see  the  a-drvant  Mi-Atient  De  Valognes,"  said 
lyisigny,  thinking  ihal  he  had  said  enough  of  revolutionary  slang  to 
admit  him  to  the  Jacobins,  at  least. 

The  untidy  patriot  would  not  have  anything  to  do  with  him 
at  all. 

D'Isigny  had  thrown  his  sixpence  of  revolutionary  jargon  to  the 
man,  and  the  man  refused  to  give  any  change  whatever. 

*'  Where  is  the  citizen's  order  then  \  " 

**  One  may  sec  one's  own  son-in-law,  one  might  suppose  i "  «aJd 
D'Isigny. 

*'  Pas  da  tout"  said  the  patriot  gatc-kccper,  looking  patt 
D'Isigny. 

D'Isigny  heard  a  thin  hut  singularly  clear  voice  at  his  right  elbow, 
which  said,— 

**  The  virtues  of  D'Isigny,  (he  Breton,  arc  well  known  to  the 
Revolution.  He  is  not  patriot,  this  D'Isigny;  but  he  is  virtuous, 
and  the  Revolution  is  virtue.  Let  him  pass,  good  patriot ;  let  him 
pass.     The  more  that  I  have  followed  him  here  to  speak  to  him." 

Dare  1  ?  Well,  I  will  try  ;  1  can  but  fail.  1  have  studied  the 
hcc  so  long,  and  thought  of  it  so  much,  that  at  least  I  may  speak. 

D'Uigny,  Standing  in  the  shadow  of  the  door,  saw  before  him, 
standing  in  the  sunlight,  a  small  ma.n,  with  a  Hat  chest,  who  looked 
up  at  him  with  an  expression  of  calmness,  which  seemed  like  a 
caricature  of  quietness  itself.  This  small,  thin,  weak  little  man  was 
handsome  enough,  though  all  the  lower  part  of  his  face  advanced 
towards  you.  Marac  would  have  said,  that  with  his  advancing  jaw 
and  his  receding  forehead,  bis  face  was  feline.*^  He  was  nicely, 
neatly  drcSScd,  this  little  man  ;  and  over  his  close-cut  hair  he  wore 
a  white  wig  with  a  tail,  and  over  his  white  wig  a  dclicately-set-on 
three-cornered  cocked  hat.  He  looked  up  with  that  set,  inexorable 
smile  on  D'Isigny,  and  D'Isigny  scowled  down  upon  him.  D'Isigny 
was  as  neat,  as  well  made,  as  the  little  man.  He  could  have  broken 
this  little  smiling  man  in  halves  by  mere  physical  strength,  but  he 
looked  down  on  him  with  a  mixture  of  hatred  and  respect. 

D'Isigny  was  a  man  not  withuut  genius  or  passion.  lie  looked 
once  again  at  this  little  feeble  man,  dressed  so  well,  with  the  pro- 
truding jaw,  and  the  well-put-on  clothes  -,  and  he  said, — 

■  Where  Uiu  one  i»(t  of  lltii  siiigulAf  luircJ  of  Marat  and  Robespierre!  I  cannot 
Huote  juA  now,  bui  ii  was  ui  sonic  pliicc  of  icsjiccleibilUy,  odicnrbe  I  should  not  have 
dared  lo  lUc  it. 


**  M.  Robespierre,  you  will  destroy  us,  as  wc  would  destroy  you ; 
but  let  us  meet  first.  If  you  have  power  here,  let  mc  we  my  soiw 
in-law." 

"What  do  you  talk  of?"  said  Robespierre,  taking  his  arm. 
"  Why  do  you  speak  of  destroying  ?  Why  do  you  talk  to  mc,  a 
lawyer  who  lost  his  judgeship  for  refusing  to  register  an  edict  of 
dcstroj'ing  ?  " 

**  You  can  be  like  another,"  thought  D'Isigny.  *'  Still  you  do 
hate  bloodshed.     1  wish  you  could  speak  the  truth." 

There  was  of  course  no  difficulty  about  D'Isigny  passing  where 
he  would,  now.  Robespierre  and  he  talked  for  a  considerable  time, 
a  conversation  one  itecd  scarcely  reproduce,  as  Robespierre  was  try- 
ing to  find  out  what  was  in  D'Isigny,  and  D'Isigny  was  trying  to 
find  out  what  was  in  Robcspieire,  a  thing  which  has  puzzled  better 
men  than  himself.  When  they  parted  at  the  end  of  a  corridor,  they 
had  formed  an  opinion  of  one  anotht-r.  Robespierre  said,  **  That 
Breton  hog  {I  use  the  word  in  rhc  Indian  sense,  he  said  'sanglier,'  not 
'  cochon  *)  has  nothing  in  his  head  ;  he  is  not  worth  troubling  oneself 
with,  though  I  do  him  the  justice  to  think  him  as  honest  as  myself." 
D'Isigny  said,  "  That  man  has  sense,  and  would  be  easily  won." 

It  is  very  singuKir,  the  ignorance  of  most  Englishmen  about  the 
events  of  the  French  Revolution.*'  Only  last  year  a  highly  meritorious 
artist  painted  a  good  picture  of  the  prii^oners  being  summoned  for  trial, 
and  consequently  for  death,  by  the  agents  of  the  Revolutionary  Com- 
mittees. The  picture  was  good  enough  to  detain  mc,  who  had  been 
looking  into  deuils  to  a  cenain  extent,  admiring  the  correctness  of 
details  in  dress  which  the  artist  exhibited.  As  for  the  sentiment  of 
the  picture  itself,  it  was  admirable.  But  all  the  time  the  error  in  the 
title  of  this  picture  kept  spoiling  my  admiration  of  it.  The  artist 
had  called  it,  *'  The  Summoning  of  the  Prisoners  in  the  BattilU 
to  Trial,"  The  Bastille,  however,  had  been  down  a  good  year  before 
the  revolutionary  busincs:>  began.  It  is  strange  thac  a  man  of  genius, 
who  had  so  carefully  got  up  details  of  costume,  should  have  fur-

gatien  details  oF  narrative  so  far.  It  was  into  the  great  hill  of  the 
eonaergerit  thai  D'lslgny  carried  his  splendidly-set-on  head,  like  the 
sail  of  a  ship.  It  was  in  the  great  hall  of  the  condtrgtrie  where  he 
saw  the  crowd  of  the  aristocrats  whom  he  had  once  called  his 
friends.  It  was  in  the  halt  of  the  cBnciergerit  where  he  heard  "  great 
people,"  according  to  his  measure  of  greatness,  say,  with  their  wcll- 
traJncd  drawing-room  voices,  very  low :  "  This  is  D'Isigny,  the 
Breton,  the  turncoat,  the  traitor,  the  friend  of  Marat.  Do  not 
speak  to  him." 

He  was  not  prepared  for  this  at  all.  He  was  still  less  prepared  for 
this.  The  Marquis  du  Mont  Aigu  was  very  old  and  very  intinn. 
He  was  also  very  virtuotJS,  had  given  his  life  to  the  poor,  but  he  held 
notions  about  the  way  in  which  the  nation  was  to  be  governed^ 
which  did  not  Ht  with  the  new  ones ;  and  so  here  he  was  in  the 
condergtrity  with  gold  spectacles,  rambling  ;ibout  among  the  others, 
and  giving  them  examples  of  his  kindly.  Christian,  gentlemanlike 
babble. 

He  was  the  father,  the  papa,  of  these  poor  souls  in  the  eoneiergfrit. 
He  was  passing  from  group  to  group,  and  encouraging  all,  D'lsign^, 
coming  on  and  seeing  that  no  one  would  speak  to  him,  caught  this 
old  gentleman  just  as  he  was  crossing  the  hall. 

The  old  gentleman  was  nearly  blind.  D'Isigny  put  his  two  hands 
in  his  and  kissed  him.     The  old  gentleman  shook  them  warmly. 

*'  Are  you,  then,  just  arrested?"  he  said.  "  I  cannot  sec  you ;  but 
I  feel  the  long,  thi»  hands  of  a  gentleman.     But  what  is  your  name  ?  " 

"  D'Isigny." 

The  old  fellow  dropped  his  hands  and  turned  away.  "  1  cannot 
speak  to  you,"  he  said  j  "  you  are  the  friend  ofMar.it.  It  is  neces- 
sary sometimes  that  a  French  gentleman,  however  old,  should  speak 
as  his  tnrcfjthers  spoke.  You  arc  strong,  your  family  was  always 
an  athletic  family.  My  family  is,  on  the  other  hand,  one  nearly 
worn  out,  and  become  effete  by  war.  I  believe  that  I  am  the  first 
male  representative  of  my  family  who  has  exhibited  virtue  ;  and  it 
falls  upon  me  to  tell  you  that  you  have  betrayed  your  order,  and  that 
you  are  looked  upon  among  us  as  a  traitor." 

"  Call  back  that  last  word." 

**  I  fear  that  I  cannot  do  so.  But  do  not  rcScnt  it  here.  I  will 
totter  up  to  you  pistol  in  hu.J,  following  the  wicked  old  traditions 
of  our  Older,  if  I  ever  get  free  from  the  clutches  of  your  friends." 

D'Isigny  was  deeply  shocked.  From  the  old  gcnilcmaa  who  had 
N.  S.  i^'S,  Vou  V.  X 


he 


used  ihcsc  awful  words  to  him  there  wss  no  appeal  of  any  sort 
kind.     And  was  not  chc  old  gentleman's  accusation  true — had  hi 
nst  betrayed  his  order  f 

He  looked  upon  the  calm,  pole,  scoinful  faces  which  surrounded 
him  in  every  direction,  and  I  hey  all  said  "Yes."  He  never  forgoc^H 
tho^e  faces.  Prectsjonist  as  he  was,  witlr  a  well-regulated  mind,  hi^| 
never  forgot  them.  All  those  scornful  eyes,  without  scarcely  any 
exception,  were  dosed  in  death  within  a  year  ;  and  he  told  the  rector 
early  one  morning,  after  a  wild,  iicaily  mad,  walk  over  the  downs 
above  Shccpsden,  that  they  alone  would  be  enough  to  scare  him 
from  heaven;  even  if  it  were  not  for  another  one,  which  never  lef 
his  eyes,  waking  or  sleeping. 

Buc  amoi^  the  scornful,  angry   faces,  pale  in  the  gloom  of  the 
tOHcitrgerlty     waiting    for    iheJr    doom,    there    was    one    which    WJ 
neither  scornful  nor  ajigrj'.   Louis  de  V'alogncs  came  towards  him ; 
embraced  hirn,  saying  :   "•  My  dear  father,  I  am  so  glad  to  sec  you. 

D'lsigny  was  by  this  time— with  one  of  those  rapid  Ccli-Nornun 
transitions  of  feeling  which  we  calmer  English  notice  in  the  Irish — 
in  a  state  of  white  fury;  but  he  wns  perfectly  calm.  In  the  pre- 
sence of  the  row  after  row  of  doomed  faces,  he  kissed  his  son-in- 
law  (the  old  Duchesse  de  Marechausse  said  that  he  bit  him),  and 
looked  round  deHaiilly,  saying  :  "  I  am  glad!  that  there  ts  one  at 
least  who  has  not  the  impudence  to  despise  mc."  ^| 

"  My  dear  father,"  said  Louis,  "  these  good  souls  arc  irritated,  do 
not  mind  thcni."  And  then,  wishing  to  avoid  painful  subjects, 
said  :  "  My  dear  father,  how  did  you  gain  the  rntriiy  now  so  difficult 
with  men  so  well  known  for  correct  opinions  as  yourself.'  "  ^B 

*'  1  got  the  entree^  sir,'\said  D'lsigny, "  frum  M.  Robespierre.  HIltiH 
influence  was  sufficiently  great  to  get  mc  in,  sir;  but  apparently  not 
sufficiently  great  to  save  me  from  gross  insult  after  I  had  got 
In.  'M.  Robespierre  seems  to  me  to  he  a  thorough  gentleman  in 
all  essentials.  For  his  origin  he  is  not  to  blame.  I  like  M.  Robe- 
spierre, and  intend  to  cultivate  his  acquaintance.  He  seems  to  me 
well  read  and  intelligent,  more  intelligent  than  many  who  would 
vilipend  him.  To  you,  Louis,  my  son-in-law,  1  have  only  to  put 
this  question — Why  did  you  summon  mc  here  to  be  insulted  ?  *' 

Louis  was  not  discursive.  He  saw  that  D'lsigny  was  angry,  ani 
utterly  unreasonable.     He  said  rapidly  : 

"  X  have  a  letter  from  Martin.  He  s.iys  thatyotir  wife  and  mine  are 
getting  up  a  Royalist  plot  at  Montauban,  which  will   ruin  us  all.

You  have  no  influence  over  your  wife,  I  know.  I  have  over  mine ; 
but  then  I  am  prisoner,  and  you  are  still  free.  Stop  the  plot  by  your 
influence  over  your  daughter,  my  wife  Slop  it  in  some  way.  Your 
■  influence  over  my  wife  Is  still  as  great  as  my  own;  she  19  more 
afraid  of  you  thjin  she  Is  of  mc.  I  know  that  you  are  afraid  of 
approaching  your  very  terrible  wifej  but  you  can  surely  do  thii. 
For  the  sake  of  your  own  head  do  it.  If  I  was  not  a  prisoner  I 
could  do  it  to-morrow.     Now  go;  the  people  here  arc  infuriated 

»  towards  you." 
D'lsigny  carried  his  clean  cut,  scornful  face  out  through  the  feces 
which  were  to  fall  in  sawdust,  without  another  word.  But  he  acted 
according  to  his  lighcs  ^  but  they  were  dim.  Instead  of  going 
to  Montauban,  and  facing  his  wife  and  daughter,  he  having,  as  he 
conceived,  thiught  through  the  matter,  sent  a  letter  to  England;  and 
this  was  the  letter  : — 


I 


"Mv  DEAR  Mathilde,— Your  sistcr  is,  as  usual,  making  a  fool 
of  herself.  She  has,  with  the  encouragement  of  your  mother, 
declared  for  the  Ultra- Royalists. 

"  I  told  you  once  that  I  should  call  on  you  to  sacrifice  your- 
self.    You  promised  that  you  would  do  so.     The  time  has  come. 

"  Come  instantly,  by  way  of  Poole  to  St.  Malo,  from  thence  to 
Montauban.  For  mc  1  am  too  busied  by  politics  to  attend  to  your 
sister's  frivolities.     Go  and  sec  after  her. 

"  You  may  be  respectful  or  not  to  your  mother.  It  is  too  bad  of  her 
to  have  led  such  an  utter  idiot  as  your  sister  into  such  a  complication. 

**  Remember  your  promise  to  mc.  You  said  once,  if  you  re- 
member, that  I  could  depend  on  you.  How  is  your  lover  ?  Come 
instantly,  and  bring  him  if  you  choose.  „  r)»Tg.(.«Y  »• 

The  thin-feced,  handsome  man  who  wrote  this  letter,  read  ic 
through  once  or  twice  before  he  sent  it.  He  had  got  ft  into  his  hand- 
some, foolish  head  that  he  was  wanted  in  Paris,  and  that  Mathildc 
could  manage  her  sister.  So,  looking  at  It  once  or  twice,  he 
sent  it. 

The  warning  which  Manit  had  given  him  so  often  was  thought 
over  by  him.  But  Mai^at  w.»s  only  a  lunatic  and  a  vagabond. 
Still  he  might  have  listened.  D'lsigny  never  listened.  Had  he 
listened  he  would  have  appreciated  the  awfiil  danger  in  which 
he  was  leading  Mathilde.

CHAPTER   XLVIL 
THE   JOURNEY. 

"In  the  ordinary  state  of  afEiirs,  such  a  course  as  you  propose 
would   be  utterly  inadmissible,"  said  old  Lady  Somers  to  her 
Lionel.     **  ScitI,  under  the  circumstances,  I  really  cannot  advise 
way  or  another/'  which  meant  that  she  held  a  rather  strong  opini 
on  the  subject. 

"  Do  tell  us  what  we  ought  to  do,"  said  Sir  Lionel.     "  Her 
is  as  precious  to  me  as  it  is  to  you." 

"  Well,"  said  Lady  Somers,  *'  having  thought  it  all  over,  and 
undcrsunding  that  Mrs.  Bone  and  the  groom  William  are  going  also, 
and  considering  the  way  in  which  all  the  old  rules  for  our  guidance 
arc  being  swept  away,  I  really  think  you  had  better  go,  It  is  out 
of  course  \  but  I  believe  that  if  your  £ither  was  alive  he  wouM 
agree." 

The  Rector  spoke  out  more  roundly.     *'  My  dear  Lionel," 
said, "  for  heaven's  sake,  don't  let  your  mother,  by  any  of  her  old  world 
crotchets,  dissuade  you  from  doing  the  duty  which  Is  most  natural 
and  proper  to  you,  of  all  men.     Hang  etiquette,  Lionel !     I  know 
thcfc  is  a  ridiculous   notion  that  a  man  may  not  travel  with 
pane/ti  but  if  you  are  not  to  be  allowed  to  defend  her  through 
very  serious  dangers  of  her  journey,  who  is  to  be  allowed  \     She 
quite  determined  to  go,  then  ? " 

.  She  had.  As  in  the  case  of  the  storm,  during  which  I  first  in- 
troduced her  to  you,  she  had  begun  by  protesting  to  Mrs.  Bone,  that 
she  wouldn't  go,  and  couldn't  go,  and  that  her  lather  was  mad.  But 
she  hi]d  ended,  as  she  always  did,  by  gently  scolding  herself  into 
perfect  acquiescence.  Sir  Lionel,  riding  over  furiously,  after  she  had 
sent  her  father's  letter  to  him,  hoped  to  find  her  in  flat  rebellion. 
But  by  that  time  she  had  gone  tlirough  all  the  mental  (doubtless, 
illogical)  phases  which  were  jicccssary  to  her  in  forming  a  rcsoluiioi 
and  he  tound  her  as  immoveable  as  a  rock. 

"  You  are  risking  your  own  life  and  my  happiness,"  was  one  of 
'his  best  arguments.

"  It  is  possible,"  she  said.  **  But  I  promised  him  in  this  room 
before  I  promised  you  ;  and  I  will  not  go  from  my  word." 

**  1  may  come  with  you,  then  ?  " 

^Ymt  would  never  leave  mc  »*«;?"  was  all  she  said,  with  the 
most  perfectly  innocent  wonder.  "Come  with  me?  Why,  how 
could  I  go  without  you,  after  the  words  yuu  huve  said  to  mc  so 
often?  I  should  die  without  you  now,  I  think.  I  have  only  you, 
Lionel." 

**  Let  us  go,  then,"  said  Sir  LioneU  "and  we  will  face  the  world, 
the  flesh,  and  the  devil :  Madame  D'Isrgny,  Lcroy,  and  Marat  \  all 
together." 

**  Be  gentle  to  my  Marat,  mind  you.  I  tell  you,  as  a  secret, 
Lionel,  that  Marat  will  do  us  no  harm.  I  cannot  tell  you  why ;  but 
I  know  it," 

"  Do  not  mention  the  dog's  name,  Mathilde." 

"  1  will  not  again.  But,  if  everything  goes  wrong,  find  the  dog, 
ai  all  risks.     He  will  hark  for  aw." 

*'  If  you  have  determined  ta  go,  then,  we  had  hettcr  go  befiirc*'^ 
he  was  going  to  say  before  a  certain  place  gets  hotter,  bur,  as  a  gentle- 
man, he  only  said, — "  before  affairs  get  more  hopelessly  confused."' ' 

Well,  and  so  she  started  in  the  early  days  of  July.  Sir  Lionel, 
of  course,  could  not  possibly  have  anything  to  do  with  the  business 
officially,  but  drove  his  curricle  down  to  Poole,  and  made  prepara- 
tiorw  for  her  on  board  the  little  brig  which  was  to  carr)'  them  to  St. 
Malo.  Mathildc  was  carried  away  somewhat  triumphantly  in  Lady 
Somers' coach,  with  four  horses,  and  postilions  in  crimson  jackets, 
with  four  grooms  outriding,  two  before  and  two  behind.  Mrs.  Bone, 
got  up  in  the  last  style  of  fashion,  was  sitting  beside  MathiLde.  Mrs. 
Bone  had  a  shortish  dress  on  and  silk  stockings ;  she  had  also  an 
idiotic  bonnet  and  a  blue  veil.  William  the  Silent  sat  on  the  boX| 
entirely  enjoying  the  expedition,  dressed  very  much  as  grooms  are 
dressed  r>ow,  a  dress  which  has  not  developed  like  others.  Mrs. 
Bone  insisted  on  keeping  her  head  out  of  the  carriage  window. 
When  she  was  remonstrated  with  by  Mathildc  on  doing  this,  she 
said  she  did  it  to  let  her  v^il  blow.  Perhaps  one  of  those  kind  critics 
who  tell  us  that  we" were  "  evidently  thinking  '*  of  something  of  which 
wc  were  not  thinking  in  the  least,  and  very  probably  never  thought, 
will  explain  Mrs.  Bone's  reason  for  putting  her  head  out  of  the  carriage 
wmdow.     It  would  uke  some  of  them  all  their  time  to  do  so. 

If  you  will  use  your  memory,  and  think  of  the  person  who  in  any 


The  GtntUman's  Magazine.  [March, 


of  your  doubtlessly  numerous  voyages  was  more  sca-dck  than  aiiy 
one  else,  you  wilt  (\i\A  yourself  al>lc  to  conceive  the  state  of  Maihtlde 
during  their  voyage  ;  if  you  will  go  further  and  use  your  Imagination, 
If  you  will  try  to  fancy  a  person  about  nine  cimcs  more  sea-sick  than 
any  one  you  ever  saw,  you  will  arrive  at  Mrs.  Bone.     Before  they 
had  passed  Swanagc,  Mrs.  Bont-  was  in  a  state  of  fatuous  imbecility.       i 
Mathilde  was  idiotic  with  sea-sickness,  but   Mrs.  Bone   beat  hccfl 
hollow.     She  had  superadded  to  her  imbcfility  a  kind  <)f  penitential  ~ 
delirium,  during  which  she  cold  Mathilde  the  whole  eld  story  of 
Adcle's  correspondence  with  Louis  de  Valognes,  and  also  told  ber 
three  or  four  early  love  passages  of  her  own,  confiding  to   her  the 
reason    why  she    had    not   married    several   eligible  young    men.  ^ 
Mathilde,  finding  her  necessity  greater  than  her  own,  attended  to^| 
her,  and  advised  her  to  be  ill  like  another,  as  she  herself  had  been* 
Mrs.  Bone  said  that  she  would  gladly  be  III  if  she  could,  even  only 
to  oblige  Mademoiselle.     Mathilde,  however,  at  intervals  of  sickness 
attended  to  her,  and  they  were  all  put  ashore,  utterly  stupid,  at  the 
JDinan  gate  of  St.  Malo. 

They  were  too  stupid  with  their  voyage  to  notice  anything,  or 
they  might  have  noticed  that  they  were  received  by  National  Guards. 
"William  the  Silent  was  the  first  person  to  land.  ''Name,  then," 
were  the  first  words  he  heard  from  a  sergeant  of  the  National  Guard, 
who  stood  before  him,  barc-hradcd,  holding  papers  in  his  hands, 
with  a  face  and  head  which  was  wonderfully  like  Matthew  Prior's 
and  Napoleon  Buonaparte's.  '*  Your  name,  then?  "  he  said  to  our 
stupid  groom,  in  English. 

"  William  Dickson." 

"Your  position?" 

William  could  not  understand  what  he  meant,  and  looked  back  to 
sec  if  Sir  Lionel  was  coming 

*'  You  need  not  look  for  your  assistance  to  your  confederates," 
said  Barbaroux'^  Prior  Buonaparte.  **I  only  ask  what  is  your 
position." 

An  old  man  with  a  grey  unshaven  beard  spoke  out.  "  He  is  only 
the  jockey  of  Mathilde,  the  daught[;r  of  D'lsigny  the  Breton.'"

Next  came  Mathildc  2nd  Mrs.  Bone,  with  the  passport.  It  was

into  the  narrow  gloomy  street,  and  the  wicket  was  shut-to  behind

dismiss  the  subject,  as  so  far  beyond  hope  of  solution  as  to  be  un- 
interesting ;  and  Mathilde  stood  alone  among  the  idlers  Jn  the  street, 
scared,  and  yet  with  the  responsibility  of  the  two  others  upon  her. 
The  oM  appte-womcn,  who  had  come  inside  the  gate  because  the 
barrier  was  closed,  began  to  jeer  at  her. 

"Send  for  thy  mother,  thou  lame  daughter  of  D'lsigny,"  said 
one. 

"  Thou  and  thy  jockey,  indeed !  "  said  another. 

''  Get  niadcmoisclle  a  cabriolet,  that  she  may  drive  to  her  father's 
chateau,"  cried  another,  amidst  laughter. 

"  Or  to  her  aunt's  convent  at  Dinort,"  said  another. 

"  Or  to  Ka  Garayc,"  yelled  the  oldest  of  them  all. 

Mathilde  had  stood  steadily  looking  at  them  all  this  time,  utterly 
speechless;  but  regarding  them  with  a  scorn  which  grew  and  grew 
till  it  burnt  like  a  clear  fire.  All  this  time  her  bust  seemed  to  ex- 
pand, and  her  imperial  crest  to  grow  higher,  and  her  magical  beauty 
CO  grow  more  splendid  in  her  wordless  contempt.  They  could 
feci  it,  these  women,  for  were  they  not  French — it  scorched  ihctn 
like  flame  \  their  jeers  became  inarticulate  mouchings.  •« 

"  She  has  her  father's  accursed  beauty,"  cried  one ;  and  this  so 
exasperated  the  oldest  crone  of  the  lot  that,  hooking  her  withered  old 
iinger<i,  she  made  towards  Mathilde,  and  in  her  fury,  fell  headlong. 

As  ihc  others  were  raising  her,  Mathilde  turned  slowly  and 
majestically  through  a  somewhat  admiring  crowd,  who  made  way 
Jbr  her. 

"  Those  D'Isignys  carry  their  heads  well,"  said  one. 

"  They  must  come  oft,"  said  another.     "  They  must  die." 
'They  know  how,"  said  another.     "They  can  die  like  Dcsilles."

[F  the  prc-historic  remains  still  left  to  us  few  have  been 
the  objects  of  more  speculation  as  to  their  origin  and  use 
than  the  circles  of  standing  stones.  Many  have  been 
destroyed  in  succeeding  ages — in  the  course  of  the  ad- 
vancement of  agriculture,  and  by  oiher  causes — whilst  those  remain- 
ing owe  their  preservation  chiefly  to  the  fact  of  occupying  portions 
of  land  unfit  for  the  plough.  Thus  most  of  them  stand  beyond  the 
scenes  of  the  daily  labour  of  man,  silent  testimonies  of  the  existence 
of  a  people  who  had  trod  this  soil  so  lung  ago  that,  even  at  the 
earliest  period  of  which  we  have  records,  these  monumcnis  were 
subjects  of  supcrsdtious  regard.  The  wild  and  uncultivated  scenes 
by  which  they  are  surrounded  lend  to  them  a  peculiarly  weird  and 
mysterious  aspect.  To  every  wayfarer,  archxologist,  painter,  or 
poet  they  are  objects  of  attraction.  To  a  ruined  circle  Keats  com- 
pares his  "  bruised  "  Titans  ;— 

"  Oo«  here,  one  there, 
Liy  t-sst  inil  cdge^say^  like  a  dknul  cirque 
Of  DniJd  stones,  apon  &  forlorn  moor." 

Nor  is  there  any  more  impressive  evidence  of  the  mutabilicy"ot 
human  aiTairs  than  these  rude,  lichen-stained  stones.  They,  them- 
selves but  the  relics  of  once  perfect  structures,  have  yet,  even  in 
their  ruined  condition,  outstood  the  downfall  of  cities,  and  have 
remained  whilst  palaces  and  the  finest  works  of  art  have  become 
mere  refuse  heaps,  or  have  crumbled  to  dust. 


Who  were  the  builders  of  these  structures,  and  for  what  purpose 
were  they  designed,  have  long  been  the  inquiries  sought  to  be 
answered  by  anxious  students}  and  though  there  are  yet  many  diffi- 
cult points  to  be  explained,  the  researches  made  in  rcccm  vcars  have 
thrown  considerable  light  on  the  subject.  Many  of  the  numerous 
theories  and  fancies  which  earlier  writers  had  woven  around  these 
monuments  have  been  cleared  away.  Speculation,  however,  probably 
did  no  harm ;  and  the  attempted  explanations  by  learned  men  of  the 
last  century  served,  perhaps,  but  to  pave  the  way  for  the  more  prac- 
tical observers  of  the  present  day.

Thac  many  of  these  circles  were  reared  previously  to  the  arrival  of 
the  Romans  in  this  country  is  very  generally  admitted  by  pre-historic 
antiquaries^  as  well  as  by  those  whose  studies  have  not  extended 
beyond  authenticated  periods  of  history.  Some  circles  of  a  sepulchral 
character  were  possibly  constructed  during  the  Roman  occupation ; 


Flc.1. 

and  circular  enclosures  to  barrows  were  formed  in  Anglo-Saxon  times. 
The  different  modes  of  imermcntf  and  the  character  of  the  relics  dis- 
covered within  tumuli,  would,  of  course,  clearly  indicate  the  period  of 
each.  But  as  many  circles  have  been  denuded  of  their  mounds,  and 
as  the  structures  which  may  have  existed  within  them  have  been  long 
since  destroyed,  the  bare  rings  of  upright  pillars  stand   in  several

instances  as  perplexing  puzzles,  rendering  the  intention  of  the  primi- 
tive architect,  and  the  purpose  of  his  work,  difficult  to  explain. 

My  object,  however,  is  more  to  note  the  structures  than  the  pur- 
poses for  which  they  were  raised,  though,  sometimes,  the  careful 
observation  of  the  former  seems  clearly  to  interpret  the  latter.  That 
many  of  the  simple  circles  of  upright  stones,  popularly  known  as 
*'  Druidic  Circles,"  were  constructed  as  mere  ring  fences  is  evident 
from  the  more  complete  remains  of  other  structures  oi  this  class, 
and  of  which  the  circle  near  the  Mulfra  Cromlech  in  Cornwall, 
described  in  Dr.  Borlasc's  "  Antiquities  of  Cornwall"  as  the  Zennor 
Circle,  may  be  referred  to  as  an  example.  This  was  formed  by  con- 
tinuous walling  between  the  uprights,  a  mode  of  building  well  known 


to  tiiose  who  have  examined  British  masoniy.  It  has  been  noticed 
by  Sir  Gardner  Wilkinson  in  his  remarks  on  this  subject  in  the 
"  Journal  of  the  British  Archaeological  Association."  Uprights  were 
placed  at  tolerably  regular  intcr%'als,  then  courses  of  smaller  stones 
blocked  the  intervening  spaces  (fig.  i),  as  if  the  ground  plan  had 
first  been  marked  out  by  the  pillars,  and  completed  in  the  way 
described.  I  could  refer  to  a  great  number  of  examples  of  this  sort 
of  work.  It  was  adopted  in  the  hut  circles,  or  cyttiau,  in  the  hill 
castles,  and  in  tumuli.  In  many  instances,  in  cither  class  of  these 
Structures^  which  still  exist  in  a  comparatively  good  state  of  prcserra- 
tion,  the  removal  of  the  smaller  courses  of  masonry  from  between 
the  larger  uprights  would  leave  most  excellent  *•  Druid  Circles." 
Sometimes  the  uprights  touched  e.-ich  other,  forming  of  themselves  a 
continuous  circle,  as  shown  by  the  barrow  with  kistvaen  in  the 
parish  of  Sancrccd,  Cornwall  (fig.  1.).  (Sec  '*  Journal  of  the  Royal 
Institution  of  Cornwall,"  vol.  i.).  The  diameter  of  this  circle  is 
about  15  it.,  the  height  of  the  stones  average  j  ft.  i  in  the  centre 
is  a  perfect  stone  chamber  or  kistvaen,  covered  with  a  mound  of 
earth. 

The  next  step  in  circular  building  consists  of  concentric  rings  of 
stones,  of  which  a  small  example  exists  on  Kemdihek  Head,  in  the 
parish  of  St.  Just,  Cornwall  (fig.  3).     Here  the  diameter  of  the     ^ 
barrow  is  32  ft.,  the  circles  being  about  a  ft.  apart,  with  the  ttones    H 
almost  close  together,  the  greater  number  rising  barely  more  than  a 
foot  above  the  ground,  though  two  or  three  are  between  3  and  4  ft.    ^- 
in  height.     In  the  centre  are  the  remains  of  a  kistvaen.     A  portion    ^M 
of  this   circle   has    been    cut    away   by   the   erection  of  a   stone 
fence  at    the   back    of    the   targets    of    the  St.    Just   Rifle  Corps. 
Of  this  type  the  Oailand  Circle,  in  the  Isle  of  Man  (fig.  4),  affords 
a  larger  example.     Its  outer  ring,  of  which  but  three  or  four  stones 
are  left,  was  about  45    ft.   in   diameter;     the   inner  one,    15    ft., 
with  a  kistvaen  in  its  midst.     As  on  the  external  face  of  one  of 
the  uprights  of  the  inner  circle  there  are  rows  of  cup   carvings 
(see  "  Archarologia  Cambrcnsis,"  vol.  xiii.,  3rd  Scries),  it  may  be 
presumed  that  (his  was  always  exposed  to  view ;  *  that  the  mound 
rose  from  the   base    of  the   inner  circle  to  cover  the  interment ; 
whilst  the  outei  circle  formed  merely  a  protecting  fence,  leaving  a

clear  passage  between  the  two  rings.     The  Sl  Just  barruw  had 
both  circles  covered. 

In  the  three  insunces  given  above  the  interment  was  in  the  centre 
of  the  barrow,  but  there  arc  %omc  cases  in  which  even  the  principal 
chamber  was  placed  on  one  side,  as  at  the  barrow  on  Trewavas 
Head,  in  Cornwall  (see  '^Journal  of  the  Royal  Iiistiiuiion  of  Corn- 
wall,*' vol.  Ji.],  the  outer  circle  of  which  measures  about  35  ft.  In

diameter,  chc  inner  one,  of  low  stones,  19  ft.  6  in.,  the  stone 
chamber  being  constructed  within  2  foot  of  the  inner  circle  on  the 
Bouth-wesc  side  (iig.  5).  Mr.  Stuart,  in  "The  Sculptured  Stones 
of  Scotland,"  vol.  ii.,  notices  a  similar  arrangement  occurnng 
at  Ballindalloch,  in  Banflshirc,  where  a  cromlech  still  remains  on 
the  south  side,  immediately  within  the  circumference  of  the  inner 
circle. 

In  some  cases  the  circle  itself  was  the  part  of  the  structure  used 
ibr  interment,  as  shown  by  the  remarkable  circle  of  kiscvaens 
on  the  Mule  Hill  in  the  Isle  of  Man  [tig.  6).  Here  may  be 
seen  the  remains  of  a  number  of  stone  chambers,  following  conse- 
cutively, or  at  least  with  very  little  space  left  between  them,  and> 
thus  forming  a  circular  stone  structure,  over  which,  as  a  writer 
suggests,  with  much  plausibility,  in  the  "  Archseologia  Cambrcnsis," 
was  raised  a  covering  of  earth  ;  the  whole,  when  hrst  constructed,' 
presenting  the  appearance  of  an  annular  embankment.  The  diameter 
of  this  circle  is  55  ft.  This  peculiar  structure  was  first  noticed  by 
Mr,  Halliwell  in  his  "  Roundabout  Notes  on  the  Isle  of  Man."  A- 
circle  of  sepulchral  chambers  also  existed  underneath  a  great  tumulus

tm  the  construction  of  chambered  barrows  in  the '^  Journal  of  the 
British  Archarological  Association/'  and  from  which  the  annexed 
diagnun  is  taken.  This  "  was  a  round  barrow  enclosing  a  scries  of 
six  cists  surrounding  a  central  arched  or  domed  space,  to  which 
admission  was  gained  by  means  of  a  covered  way  or  passage." 

The  precedir^  examples  of  circular  wallii^  all  bear  traces  of 
having  been  mound-covered  or  as  marking  the  limits,  or  forming  the 
bases,  of  tumuli.  Wc  now  come  to  consider  those  larger  monu- 
ments consisting  of  standing  stones,  which  are  more  particularly 
known  as  **  Druid  Circles,"  and  regarding  which  many  theories  have

been  advanced.  They  have  been  considered  as  Druid  temples- 
temples  for  sun  worship — places  of  meeting  for  chiefs  and  kings  in 
council,  each  man  stajiding  by  hts  own  pillar,  and  for  various  other 
ceremonial  observances.  Dr.  Borlase,  in  his  description  of  stone 
circles  in  Cornwall,  commences  with  that  at  Boskednan,  in  Gulval, 
as  a  good  example  of  a  simple  circle  of  stones  erect.  With  the  ex- 
ception of  one  sacred  part  in  ruins,  he  appears  to  have  considered 
this  as  a  true  type  of  a  proper  circle,  used  as  a  place  of  worship. 
^'f  a  recent  cxaminaiton  uf  this  monument  I  found  that  it  is  no 
other  than  the  remains  of  the  enclosing  base-circle  of  the  larger 
portion  of  a  "twin-barrow."      The  smaller  of  the  two,  36  ft.  in

seen.  In  Dr.  Rorlasc's  time,  thirteen  stones  were  standing,  six  pros- 
trate (fig.  9).  About  270  yards  north-west  of  this  "  circle  "  are  the 
remains  of  another  "  twin-barrow  " — the  larger  35  ft.  in  diameter, 
the  smaller  24.  ft.  Both  mounds  consisted  ofcairns  of  stones;  which, 
Co  some  extent,  still  exist,  though  within  my  remembrance  they 
have^been  much  mutilated.  At  a  a  (tig.  10),  arc  stones  which  seem 
to  have  formed  portions  of  a  grave,  or  kistvaen.  Twelve  enclos- 
ing stones  remain  of  the  larger  circle,  of  which  the  tallest  measures 
6  ft.  3  in.  in  height,  and,  were  all  the  interior  stones  removed,  it 
would  stand  as  a  "  Druidic  circle,"  as  good  as  Its  neighbour  known 
as  the  Boskcdnan  Circle,  and  described  by  Dr.  Dorlase  as  a  good 
representative  of  the  whole  class  of  Druid  circles.  It  will  be  seen 
by  the  accompanying  plans  of  both,  that  they  were  designed  fur  the

ssune  purpose,  the  difference  between  them  being,  that  one  b  in  a'- 
worse  state  of  dilapidation  than  the  uther.  Remains  of  other 
barrows  similarly  formed  occur  in  the  vicinity.  There  were  two 
within  a  few  hundred  yards  of  the  "twin-barrow"  last  described, 
the  greater  portions  of  which  have  recently  been  taken  away  to 
build  a  neighbouring  hedge,  but  of  wliich  I  found  enough  to  show 
how  they  were  built.  First  there  was  an  enclosing  circle  of  stones, 
some  placed  upright,  some  longitudinally  (fig.  ii),  the  intention 
being  simply  to  make  an  enclosing  fence;  within  this  the  grave  wa« 
constructed,  then  small  stones  heaped  over  the  whole,  the  cairn  ex- 
tending, by  about  6  ft.,  outside  the  built  circle,  as  shown  in  the

sccuon  (fig.  i2.)     The  more  perfect  of  the  "iwin-barrows"  also 
had  the  cairn  extending  beyond  the  circle. 

Though  the  Boskednaii  Circles  were  clearly  caim-bases,  there 
are  many  circles  whose  diameters  are  so  great  that  it  cannot  be  con- 
ceived chat  there  ever  existed  within  them  mounds  so  vast  as  to

occupy  all  the  enclosed  space.  These  larger  circles  should  rather  be 
regarded  as  great  enclosing  outworks  for  the  protection  of  a  group  of'j 
barrows,  or  lesser  circles,  as  was  probably  the  case  with  Long  Meg 
and  her  Daughters  in  Cumberland,  and  possibly  also  with  the  Roll- 
rich  Stones  in  Oxfordshire,  though  in  the  latter  there  are  no

the  form  of  an  inclining  piibr,  9  fi.  in  length.  Smaller  circles  on  this 
plan  I  have  also  noticed  at  Abcr,  in  North  Wales.  (See  "  Archiologia 
Cambrcnsi*,"  vol.  xi.,  3rd  series.)  In  one  of  these  (fig.  14)  there 
were  two  circles,  with  a  pillar  in  the  midst  of  the  inner  one.  And 
the  great  circle  of  CaSleniish,  in  Scotland,  has  also  this  central 
pillar.  Whether  these  remaining  pillar;  be  portions  of  cromlechs, 
or  were  simply  the  centres  of^cairns,  it  is  not  always  easy  to  deter*

nght  blocks  of  scones  have  been  found,  as  at  the  tumulus  at  Beniew, 
in  Montgomeryshire  (fig.  15),  where,  underneath  the  covering- 
mound,  were  three  stones,  several  feet  apart,  unconnected  with  any 
structural  arrangement  (see  "  Archxologia  Camhrc-nsis,"  vol.  iii., 
3rd  scries).  Much  might  have  depended  on  the  quality  of  the  de- 
ceased, or  on  other  causes,  as  to  the  nature  of  the  place  for  the 
ashes  or  the  body.  The  spot  might  be  indicated  by  a  single  stone, 
by  the  mere  deposit  of  ashes  on  the  ground  or  on  a  9i%\  stone,  or  by 
a  kistvaen,  or  chamber  of  scone.  DifTcrcnt  methods  occur  in  the  same 
tumulus.  I  have  found  in  a  barrow  an  urn  inclosed  by  atones  pbced 
carefully  around  it ;  whilst  within  a  few  feel  the  a«.hcs  of  another  body 
had  been  left  on  the  bare  ground  with  a  few  flints  only,  and  without 
protection  of  any  kind  other  than  the  mound  raised  over  the  whole. 

A  large  circle  (fig.  16),  27  yds.  i"n  diameter,  over  Penmaenmawr, 
in  North  Wales,  which  I  visited  in  1864,  appears  to  have  been  con- 
structed by  several  uprights  connected  by  smaller  masonr)'.  Here 
the  interments  were  apparently  made  beside  the  pillars.     Against  the

inner  side  of  the  ullcst  pillar.  A,  on  the  eastern  part,  were  the 
remains  of  a  small  kistvacn  ;  while  against  the  pillar  b,  facing  it  on 
the  opposite  side,  was  heaped  a  small  carjiedd.  The  whole  is  sur- 
rounded by  a  ditch,  within  which,  at  c,  is  another  small  cairn* 
There  arc  other  stone  inclosures  in  the  vicinity ;  one,  at  the  distance  of  a 
few  hundred  yards  to  the  west,  is  of  elliptical  form,  A  circle  at  Heltiien- 
Tor,  in  Cornwall,  also  has  the  enclosing  ditch.  This  ditch,  however, 
though  serving  as  a  sort  of  protection,  owes  its  existence  to  the  ex- 
cavation of  the  earth  fur  raising  a  vallum  or  a  central  mound. 

Next  in  order  to  single  circles,  with  or  without  traces  of  internal 
structures,  may  he  classed  groups  of  large  circles,  like  the 
"  Hurlcrs"  (fig.  17)  near  the  Checsewring  in  Cornwall.     Remains 

of  four  of  these  circles  still  exist. 
Three  were  placed  in  a  line  run- 
ning about  N.N.E.  by  S.S.W. 
The  northernmost  is  37  yds,  from 
the  centre  one,  from  which  to  the 
southernmost  the  distance  is  31 
yds.  I20  yds.  N.W.  of  these

6  in.  The  diameter  of  the  north 
circle  is  97  ft. ;  the  centre  one,  136  ft.  There  are  no  traces  of 
internal  works.  As  mere  circles  of  standing  stones,  these  have, 
doubtless,  thus  appeared  for  centuries.  The  name  of  **  Hurlcrs  "

of  Palestine,"  they  arc  thus  referred  to  :  "  But  most  listen  to  it,  as 
to  a  febic,  and  the  Hurlers  in  Cornwall  (men  metamorphosed  into 
stones,  as  tradition  reports,  for  playing  on  the  Lord's  Day)  might 
—  fitly  serve  to  build  a  bridge  over  this  river." 

I  Many  of  the  Curni^h  circles,  whatever  may  be  the  number  of  the 

I  Stones,  are  also  known  by  the  name  of  the  '•'•  Nine  Maidens,"  from 

I  the  tradition  that  they  were  dancers  turned  into  stone  for  dancing  on 

■  the  Lord's  Day.     Why  those  with  more  or  less  than  nine  should  be 

I  thus  designated,  is  unaccountable.     Two  or  thicc  circles  happening 

I  each  to  consist  of  nineteen  stones  have,  from  this  lact,  afforded  to

rounding  enclosures.     The  skeletons  of  many  such  structures  stilt

Of  circles  with  long  avenues  attached,  the  great  examples,  of 
course,  would  be  those  which  once  existed  at  Avcbury,  Wilts  (fig.

found  in  early  circular  tumuli.  First,  there  is  a  great  ditch,  with  a

circle  of  stones  within  it,  exemplified  on  a  smaller  scale  hy  the  Pen- 
maenmawr  and  Hclmcn-Tor  circles,  described  above.  TThen,  as  in 
numerous  instances  already  given,  internal  drcles  of  stones,  withta 
which  were  cenual  structures,  of  which  evidence  still  exists,  nro  of 
the  great  pillars  near  the  farm-house,  and  which  stood  inside  the  north- 
ern circle,  were  placed  at  an  angle,  and  could  not  have  farmed  part  of 
a  circle.     Stone  avenues  led  to  the  whole  work  from  two  directions. 

This  plan  of  circular  works  approached  by  avenues  occurs  aJso  in 
the  passage-barrows,  of  which  examples  may  be  found  in  Mr.  Lukis's 
paper  previously  referred  to ;  and  in  the  Callcrnish  Circle  (fig.  20], 
the  same  principle  of  construction  is  Seen. 

Some  of  the  Cornish  caves,  also,  in  ground  plan  would  present 
not  dissimilar  figures.  Remove  the  roofing-stones  and  walls  from 
the  Chapel  Uny  Cave  (fig.  21 ),  and  there  would  be  an  avenue  leading 
to  a  circle.  The  New  Grange  tumulus  would  also  bear  some 
resemblance  to  this  kind  of  work. 

Thcrcrocc  it  may  be  submitted  for  consideration,  whether  the 
grnt  uncovered  stone  avenues — too  extensive  ever  to  have  been 
buried — did  not  owe  their  existence  to  the  same  motive  which  caused 
the  smaller  stone  passages  leading  to  the  interior  of  tumuli.  Thus  a 
comparison  of  the  mode  of  structure  of  the  lesser  with  the  greater 
monuments,  may  serve' to  throw  some  light  on  the  purposes  of  both, 
and  dispel  or  support  some  of  the  numerous  theories  which  have 
been  brought  forward.  Avebury  has  been  considered  as  a  temple  of 
the  Druids;  a  Dracontinc  temple;  a  temple  of  the  Cabin  and  of  "the 
ever  Blessed  Trinity  } "  circles  for  councils  and  sacrifices  j  temple  of 
the  Celtic  Mercury — Teucates  ;  as  a  planetarium  containing  temples 
of  the  sun  and  moon,  and  as  a  great  buri.il-placc.  Though  Avebury 
may  to  some  degree  be  compared  with  the  smaller  circular  buildings, 
Stonehetige  stands  alone.  It  was  a  circular  structure  of  vast  pillars; 
but  its  plan  cannot  welt  be  brought  in  comparison  with  other  ex- 
isting remains  in  this  country  or  elsewhere.'  But  in  one  respect  this 
great  national  circle  is  like  others  in  being  in  the  midst  of  a  burial- 
ficld.  Examinations  that  h^vc  been  made  of  some  of  the  larger 
circles — sometimes  called  temples— have  shown  that  they  were  also 
at  one  dmc  used  for  the  burial  of  the  dead.  An  exptontion  of  the 
Callcrnish  Circle  proved  that  it  was  once,  if  not  urif^inally,  used  for

this  purpose.  On  the  east  side  of  the  central  pillar  was  found  a 
cist  conttining  figments  of  human  bones,  which  seemed  to  have 
been  subjected  to  the  action  of  fire.  (See  Proceedings,  Soc.  Antiq. 
of  Scotland,  voL  iii.) 

Attenrion  has  recently  been  directed  to  certain  ecclesiastical  laws

rites  or  superstitions.  These  "  frith-gcards "  are  presumed  to  have 
formed  circular  enclosures  in  the  majiner  of  the  "  Druid  circles." 
But  whether  our  circles  be  pre-Cekic,  Cdtic,  or  Saxon,  it  seems 
very  clear  that  there  runs  throughout  the  whole  class  one  pre- 
dominating idea,  which  was  simply  to  form,  without  regard  to  the

number  or  size  of  stones  employed,  an  enclosure  for  the  protection 
of  something  within,  cither  the  remains  of  the  dead,  or  some  object 
of  religious  veneration.  A  mere  circle  of  pillars,  ten,  twelve,  or 
twenty  feet  apart,  could  not  answer  this  purpose ;  consequently  it  is 
fiur  ro  conclude  that  the  circles  were  not  constructed  as  many  of 
tttem  now  appear  j  but  that  these  are  skeletons  only  of  fences  or 
boundaries  of  continuous  circular  masonry — or  of  pillars  connected 
by  earthen  mounds — and  therefore,  a  ruined  circle  cannot  possibly 
afford  sufficient  data  for  the  formation  of  a  plausible  explanation  of 
its  ori^nal  use,  and  of  the  intention  of  its  builders,  from  the  present 
accidental  relative  position  of  one  stone  to  another.

A   VISIT   TO   THE    SITE    OF   TROY. 

■'  Jun  s^a  tsl,  ubi  Troja  fail." 

"  WTierc  wicicnl  Troy  once  raii'd  Iier  uitely  liead.

[HAT  visions  of  bygone  days  rise  before  the  classical 
mind  at  the  mention  of  the  name  of  Troy  !  Scenes 
both  warlike  and  sublime  Stand  forth  in  more  than 
**  painted  imagery."  So  audibly  docs  the  poet  of  Chios 
tell  his  inspiriting  fable  to  the  mental  ear,  so  visibly  does  he  delineate 
his  characters  before  the  mental  eye,  so  tangibly  docs  he  produce  his 
warriors  for  the  mental  touch,  that  the  entranced  reader  hears  the 
eloquent  harangues  of  the  assembled  chiefs,  beholds  the  embattled 
walls  of  Troy,  the  gorgeous  palace  of  Priam,  and  the  renowned 
Scaean  gates ;  he  sees  (he  hclmctcd  warriors  mingle  in  the  fray, 
handles  the  brazen  armour  of  the  Greeks,  and  brandishes  the  sharp 
lances  of  the  Trojans.  Again,  carried  away  by  the  spirit- breathing 
poem,  he  beholds  the  Grecian  ships  equipped  for  the  campaign, 
hears  the  mighty,  nodding-crcsted  Hector  urging  the  Trojans  to  the 
fight,  beholds  the  peerless  Helen  treading  the  courts  of  Troy,  and 
listens  to  the  bodings  of  Cassandra  plaintively  sounding  throughout 
the  marble  halls.  Anon  the  view  changes,  and  he  becomes  the 
specrator  of  a  night  scene.  In  the  ruddy  glare  of  the  Trojan  watch- 
fires  he  sees  the  warriors  eager  for  the  Bght,  and  bears  the  impatient 
war-horses  "champing  golden  grain  "  : — 

"  Hold  by  their  cbariobi,  wailing  for  ibe  dawn." — 7V«njvm. 

Faithfully  have  both  the  Poet-Laureate  and  the  late  Prime  Minister 
set  before  us  this  noble  passage.     Let  the  latter  now  speak  : —

But  I  must  pause  in  my  panorimic  view  of  this  marvellous  fable, 
and  speak  of  mundane  affiiirs  as  they  actually  exist,  however  com- 
mon-place my  remarks  may  sound  in  connection  with  such  a  lofty 
theme.  What,  then,  is  the  present  condition  of  that  spot  which  is 
supposed  to  constitute  the  site  of  ancient  Troy  ?  Can  any  ruins  be 
discerned  of  a  city  once  so  mighty  ?  Arc  any  remains  still  visible 
to  testify  of  her  former  greatness  ?  Does  the  river  Scamander  flow 
in  its  depicted  channels,  and  do  the  daughters  of  Asia  still  bathe  in 
the  for-fiimed  su^eam  f 

In  reply  to  these  and  similar  questions,  I  may  mention  the  follow- 
ing information,  which  was  given  to  mc  by  a  gentleman,^  who  m 
his  passage  to  Balaklava  during  the  Crimean  campaign  was  becalmed 
for  three  weeks  between  Tcncdos  and  the  mainland,  and  who  passed 
his  time  in  shooting  excursions  on  the  supposed  site  and  in  the 
immediate  neighbourhood  of  ancient  Troy.  And  first,  of  the  ruins 
of  that  renowned  city.  A  city  go  illustrious  and  so  extensive  as 
Troy  is  supposed  to  have  been,  ought  certainly  to  afford  some 
existing  memorials  of  its  former  greatness.  Travellers  speak  with 
astonishment  of  the  enormous  stones  found  amidst  the  ruins  of 
Balbcc }  hewn  stones  of  sixty  and  seventy  feet  long,  by  twelve  and 
thirteen  feet  thick.  The  modern  Athens  also  abounds  in  ancient 
porticos  and  columns,  expressive  of  her  former  grandeur.  Surely, 
then,  it  may  be  supposed  that  the  neighbourhood  of  Troy  is  rich  in 
similar  relics. 

So  &r  as  the  researches  of  my  friend  extended,  he  found  no  such 
evidences  of  ancient  splendour ;  no  remains  of  stately  palaces,  no 
polished  porticos  nor  evidences  of  marble  chambers  ;  nothing  to  lead 
die  traveller  to  exclaim,  "  Here  dwelt  the  sons  and  daughters  of 
Priam."  On  the  contrary,,  the  entire  locality  was  singularly  devoid 
of  ruins  ;  even  stones — which  are  supposed  by  some  to  speak  with 
poetic  tongue — were  here  painfully  silent.  In  short,  not  a  mound 
nor  hillock  nor  trace  of  a  fallen  city  did  my  friend  perceive :  the 
whole  country  appeared  to  be  an  unbroken  plain. 

Again,  with  regard  to  those  relics  of  antiquity  which  arc  so  highly 


Tkt  GtfUUntaiis  Magaztiu. 

prized  by  the  antiquary  and  archzologist,  viz.,  brazen  swords  and 
spcarSi  ancienc  ums,  vases,  and  statuary,  not  a  vestige  could  be 
discerned} — not  even  a  chip  of  the  old,  old  hoisc,  instinct  with 
anned  men. 

In  like  manner,  nothing  can  be  Keen  of  the  famed  river  Scamander, 
the  swift-flowing  stream  extolled  in  Homer's  song.  Its  supposed 
bed  is  prolific  in  melons,  and  its  banks  cease  to  listen  to  the  babbling 
waters.  So  shallow  and  shelving  also  is  the  sea  on  the  coast  imme- 
diately adjacent  to  Troy,  that  a  ship's  boat  is  unable  to  approach 
within  a  hundied  yards  of  the  shore.  Hence,  if  the  present  condi- 
tion of  this  portion  of  the  once  celebrated  ^gxan  Sea  is  an  exponent 
of  the  past,  we  fear  the  Grecian  heroes,  when  sailing  from  Tencdos 
on  the  night  of  the  destruction  of  Troy,  must  have  anchored  in  a 
most  un&vourable  locality  for  effecting  a  landing  \  and  the  task  of 
wading  to  the  shore  must  have  been  sadly  onerous  to  their  brazen- 
coated  limbs,  especially  if  the  phrase  in  the  "yEneid,"  "  tacitx  per 
arnica  filcntia  lunar,"  will  bear  the  Interpretation  ot  *'a  dark  and 
dreary  night." 

Once  more :  the  quotation  with  which  I  have  headed  this  anicle, 
and  which  is  duly  impressed  on  the  mind  of  the  school-boy  upon  his 
introduction  to  the  Latin  Delectus,  is  by  no  means  strictly  applicable 
to  the  present  condition  of  the  site  of  Troy;  for,  instead  of  fields  of 
golden  corn,  there  is  now  a  barren  waste  of  scrub  oak,  interspersed 
here  and  there  with  patches  of  corn,  which  corn  is  still  trodden 
out  by  oxen,  as  in  days  of  yore.  I  must  not  omit  to  remark,  that 
the  scrub  oaks  here  mentioned  will  not  bear  a  comparison  with  our 
sturdy  English  oaks,  as  they  seldom  exceed  six  feet  in  height.  The 
cup  of  the  acorn,  however,  is  a  valuable  article  of  importation  in  tlie 
European  market,  being  extensively  used  as  a  tan  or  dye. 

From  the  foregoing  considerations,  may  it  not  be  surmised  that 
the  wondrous  and  spirit-stirring  poem  of  the  siege  of  Troy  was,  in 
the  main,  the  brain-creation  of  the  Immortal  bard  \  Hesiod  supposed 
that  the  *'  heroes  who  fought  at  Troy  were  a  divine  race,  distinct 
ft-om  other   men,  and   now   living,  by  the  care    of  Jupiter,  In  the

recenily  devastated  the  island  of  Tcncdos — every  trace  of  the 
palaces  and  walls,  &c.,  of  ancient  Troy  may  have  been  entirely 
destroyed ;  and  that  the  upheaval  of  the  land  may  have  cut  o^  the 
flowing  waters  of  the  river  so  renowned  in  Ilorneir's  song. 

To  return^  however,  from  the  region  of  supposition  to  the  realities 
ofthc  present  time,  as  seen  in  the  immediate  neighbourhood  of  Troy. 

For  the  inforniation  of  that  class  of  Englishmen  who  are  devoted 
to  the  sports  ofthc  gun,  I  may  state,  on  the  authority  of  my  friend, 
that  a  great  variety  of  game  is  found  in  the  uplands  and  lowlands  of  I 
the  western  sea-board  of  Asia  Minor.  In  the  boundless  waste  of 
wild-growing  scrub,  pheasants,  partridges,  h;trcs,  rabbits,  woodcocks, 
doves,  quails,  5cc.,  are  met  with  in  great  profusion;  while  in  the 
beds  of  the  old  rivers,  ducks,  gcc$c,  snipes,  widgeons,  teal,  cranes, 
and  long-necked  swans,  olfcr  good  sport  to  the  '■'•  kjilghts  of  the 
trigger,"  reminding  the  student  of  the  well-known  lines  ; — 


B.  459-461- 


Game  also  of  a  nobler  kind  is  sometimes  met  with  in  the  shape  of 
wolves,  foxes,  jackals,  and  boars,  to  try  the  mettle  ofthc  sportsman. 

And  here,  in  speaking  of  cranes,  it  may  not  be  inopportune  to  say 
2   few   words   in   reference   to  a  well-known   proverb  concerning 
herons,  a  class  of  birds  belonging  to  the  crane  family.     When  a 
person   is   derisively   spoken  of  as   ignorant   in   any    matter,   it   is< 
frequently  alleged  of  him  that  "  he  docs  not  know  a  hawk  from  a. 
hand-saw."     Now,  in  Norfolk  the  heron  is  always  called  by  the- 
lalK>uring  class  "a  harn-sar,  or  ham-saw^"  hence  the  transition  t<y\ 
.band-saw  is  easy  and  recognisable, 
f     The  coverts  in  which  game  is  found   in  Asia,   differ  in  many< 
respects  from  those  in  England.     Herf^  m  our  "tight  little  island," 
sickle-reaped  corn-fields,  plantations  with  a  thick  undergrowth  of^ 
nut-bushes  or  prickly  gorsc,  turnip   and    beet-root  fields,  hold   out 
the  prospect  of  success ;  while  in  Asia,  thickets,  forests,  and  espe- 
cially melon-grounds,  arc  the  places  where  the  sportsman  finds,  and 
if  he  be  a  tolerable  shot,  obtains  a  heavy  bag.     What  the  tuniip- 
ficlds  are  to  the  Englishman,  such  arc  the  melon-grounds  to  the! 
Asiatic.      In  every  available    situation,  on.  hill-sidcs  or  valleys,  on 
mountain-tops  or  open  spaces,  the  melon  is  extensively  cultivat«I> 


The  GeniUmaiis  Magazine. 


P 


hence,  he  who  wishes  for  a  good  day's  sport  in  Asia,  must  trudge 
over  and  beat  the  melon-grounds  as  carefully  as  the  "  true-bora 
Englishman "  goes  over  the  stubbles,  turnips,  and  plantations  8t 
home.  And  so  plentiful  is  the  game  in  Asia,  that  a  party  of  sports- 
men :iccustomed  to  wild  shooting,  may  daily  obtain  a  well-filled  b^ 
of  considerable  variety.  And  here  may  be  observed  in  passing,  the 
surprising  audacity  with  which  birds  of  prey  swoop  down  upon  their 
unsuspecting  victims,  and  carry  them  off  even  before  the  eyes  of  the 
astonished  spectator. 

The  great  difficulty  the  sportsman  experiences  is  lack  of  water. 
In  his  excursions  ncross  the  country  he  will  meet  with  various 
rudely-formed  wells,  into  which  at  eventide  he  is  liable  to  fall  unless 
due  heed  be  taikcn.  These  wells  are  deep  and  narrow,  and  the 
water  can  only  be  obtained  by  means  of  a  long  line  with  a  pannikin 
affixed  to  it;  hence,  if  unprovided  with  these  necessary  adjuncts,  he 
will  resemble  a  hungry  man  who  has  alighted  upon  a  supply  of 
oysters  without  any  means  of  opening  the  same. 

The  adventures  that  befell  my  friend  and  his  companions  were 
neither  few  nor  uninteresting.  Unacquainted  with  the  language  of 
the  natives,  they  were  thrown  upon  their  own  resources  for  provision 
by  day,  and  for  protection  during  their  encampments  by  night.  He 
describes  the  inhabitants  as  a  wild  suspicious-tootcing  set  of  men, 
possessing  very  ancient  and  Imperfect  fire-arms,  and  by  no  means 
"  first-rate  shots,"  inasmuch  as  they  invariably  kill  the  game  when 
sitting  upon  the  ground.  Their  astonishment  was  great  upon 
beholding  our  countrymen  bagging  the  game  on  the  wing  both  with 
the  right  and  left  barrel  j  they  shrugged  their  shoulders,  made  rapid 
movements  with  their  arms  and  hands,  and  manifested  their  delight 
by  various  other  motions  of  a  symbolical  character,  which  was  the 
sole  method  uf  communication  used  between  our  friends  and  the 
natives,  inasmuch  as  they  were  mutually  unacquainted  with  each 
other's  language.  As  a  general  rule  the  English  pany  avoided  the 
inhabitants,  who  on  their  side  seemed  equally  desirous  of  keeping 
"  themselves  to  themselves." 

In  the  villages  were  mosques  with  domes  and  minarets  ;  and 
around  the  latter  were  balconies,  upon  which  at  certain  times  ap- 
peared a  devout  Mussulman  shouting  aloud,  in  words  unknown  to 
our  travellers,  but  which  caused  the  inhabitants  wherever  they  might 
be,  or  however  engaged,  to  prostrate  themselves  in  adoration  upon 
the  earth.  H.  W.

of  the  earth  "  on  the  Champ  de  Mars,  and  in  seeing  for  themselves 
How,  for  What,  When,  and  with  Whom,  some  of  those  caprices 
originated. 

Upon  the  subject  of  dress,  always  involving  points  of  grave  con- 
sideration for  artists,  eminent  French  ecclesiastics  have  lately  preached 
and  pamphleteered,  whilst  there  are  some  moralists  who  fear  that  that 
outward  state  of  things  iy  coming  round  again,  thus  alluded  to  by  ui 
observer  of  the  First  French  Empire ; — "  When  ladies  shall  have 
rectothed  themselves,  I  will  tell  you  of  their  costume,  in  which,  ac 
present,  there  is  certainly  no  novelty."  Meantime,  in  these  locoino- 
cive  days,  many  a  once  &r-distant  aboriginal  chieftain  unconsciously 
displays  a  practical  faith  in  the  old  French  mg/,  '*  A  man  is  only  half 
a  man  without  his  coat ; "  and  rare  are  far-off  females,  generally, 
who  believe  not  themselves  to  be  within  the  circles  of  French  fashion, 
when  as  long  since  as  the  month  of  April  last,  a  black  Sierra  Leone 
laundress  boarded  her  Majesty's  ship5Mr(ror  the  purpose  of  ofTenng 
her  profcsftional  services  to  the  oJHccrs  of  that  ship),  arrayed  in  a 
monster  crinoline,  which,  according  to  her  belief,  encompassed  in 
itself  every  exigency  of  modern  costume. 

But  circles  recede,  and  blissfully  was  that  black  h<lle  ignorant  that

like dance  hoodwinked,  headstrong,  giddy,  yet  perpetually  turning.'* 
Round  and  round  French  fashion  spins  back  to  some  old  starting- 
point  called  new.     But  there  is  nothing   new  under  the  sun,  and

especially  not  in  the  vexation  of  spirit  engendered  by  Fashion'i 
vanity;  for  Juvenal,  who  declared  that  an  ancient — or,  to  speak' 
more  poHtcly,  a  classical — lady's  toilette  in  his  day^  wras  more 
terrible  for  those  in  attendance  on  it,  than  the  tribunal  of  the  tyrants 
of  Sicily,  was  so  stung  by  the  sight  of  a  Roman  matron  beating  her 
Ruid,  that  he  asked  the  former,  "  Why  punish  that  unfortunate 
creature^  because  the  shape  of  your  own  nose  offends  you  ?  "  * 

But  Fashion  was  then,  as  now,  more  cynicil  than  Juvenal,  and, 
had  no  doubt  angered  that  matron;   and  what  lady  has  not  caus 
for  indignation  when  commanded   by  caprice  not  only  to  dress  ia 

icolours  ill-suited    to  her   complexion,  but    to  change    the    naturalj 
colour  of  her  hair  (skin  to  match),  or  even  as  far  as  possible  i\ 

■form  of  her  features  to  please  Fashion,  who  to>morrow  will  sud-l 
denly  turn  round  and  laugh  in  her  ftice  ?  Let,  however,  no  insinua- 
tion be  here  suspected  that  ladies  of  this  enlightened  day  could 
so  heathcnishly  misdemcan  themselves  as  to  beat  thctr  maids,  or 
that  even,  like  good  Queen  Bess,  any  one  of  them  would  smash  a 
mirror  because,  say,  her  chignon  differed  in  shade  from  the  rest  of 
her  hair;   rather  would  she,  Hkc  a  nymph  in  the  "Rape  of  the

his  nose,  or  of  curling  the  hirsute  appendages  of  his  face,  may,  when 
looking  on  this  page,  reasonably  rejoice  in  the  sight  of  that  "'  Indian 
or  Bearded  Bacchus,"  who  was  a  favourite  type  of  manliness  to  the 
youth  of  ancient  Rome,  and  who  still  looks  on  with  his  clear  eyes 
and  smiles  with  his  lirm  lips  in  various  antique 
art  galleries  of  Italy.  For  there  is  Bacchus  and 
Bacchus ;  ^nd  this  one  lived  so  long  before  bect-j 
biirrcls  were  invented,  that  he  seems  to]  have  been 
forgotten  by  that  loyal  "  finest  gentleman  of 
Europe,"  whose  wig  was  parted  on  one  side,  and 
whose  boon  companions  with  shaven  chins  were 
apt  to  slip  from  their  chairs  under  the  table. 
But  this  our  Bacchus  above  stood  firm  on  his 
pedestal  when  empires  aiid  kingdoms  were  (iaUing 
and  rising  around  him  ;  and  therefore  it  came  to 
pass  that  he  was  an  object  of  special  respect  even  to  Christian 
princes  and  pilgrims  of  those  limes  when  France,  in  her  youthful 
strength  of  f^ich,  sent  forth  her  bravest  or  most  penitent  sons  over-^y 
gloomy  mountains,  icy  and  foggy  enough  to  appear  labulous  in  thesfll^| 
railway  days,  and  over  paths  then  bristling  with  dangers. 

To  Rome  went  French  princes  and  plSgrims,  and  thence  returned 
',to  infant  Paris  with  their  cloaks  all  the  worse  for  wear  and  tear,  but 
worn  in  the  style  of  the  Belvedere  Apollo,  or  Mercury, — traveller, 
as  bcfuresaid,  by  profession.  The  four  sons  of  Clovis,  first  Christian 
king  of  France,  all  wore  this  Roman  cloak ;  and  SJgeben,  a  French 
prince  who  died  about  the  year  576,  and  was  buned  at  Soissons,  is 
represented  by  a  moimmcntal  effigy  as  having  been  so  clothed.  French 
monarchs  were  accustomed  to  have  their  necks  bare  in  those  days,  but 
;ione  the  less  had  they  retained  the  chlamyt  and  its  shoulder-clasp,  the 
cloak  of  King  Clovis  being  moreover  adorned  with  the  Jieur-de-ljs^ 
the  original  of  which  ^owti  was  said  to  have  been  presented  to  him 
on  an  azure  shield  by  an  angel.  The  best  idea  of  that  heavenly  mes- 
senger is  embodied  to  us  in  Clothilde,  the  wife  of  Clovis,  by  whom 
that  monarch  was  converted  to  Christianity.  Uy  birth  she  was  a 
Burgundlan  princess,  and  in  person  she  was  beautiful,  as  evidenced 
by  the  monument  from  which  the  following  Illustration  was  origi- 
nally taken.  From  her  Burgundlan  uncle's  palace  she  came,  in 
the  year  493,  to  v^'ed  King  Clovis  at  Soissons,  iravelllng  thither  in 
J)  w;^on  called  a  baUtrnty  drawn  by  oxen,  which  was  a  vehicle  of 
unusual  luxury  at  that  time  in  France.     Her  husband  and  convert,

CloviS}  styled  *'  August,"  lamenting  that  many  of  the  arts  formerly 
introduced  by  the  Romans  into  Gaul,  were  even  in  his  day  on  the 
rapid  decline,  was  the  first  French  Icing  who  imported  theatricals 
into  France*  in  the  form  of  a  "  Pantomime,  equally  well  vcreed  in 
mimicry  and  music." 

Mimics,  therefore,  with  the  French  were  the  first  comedians,  as 
they  had  been  with  the  Greeks  and  Romans  ;  and  Queen  Cluthilde,

albeit  a  saint,  was  none  the  less  a  woman  of  talent  and  caste,  as  wc 
here  in  this  illustration  may  perceive  from  her  costume. 

For  a  considerable  time  after  the  date  of  this  dress  (499),  that 
worn  by  French  princesses  continued  to  be  flowing  and  graceful  j 
but  in  proportion  as  classical  toilette  traditions  £idcd  away  in  France, 
strange  changes  took  place  there,  as  wc  shall  presently  see. 

For  years  before  her  death  Clothilde  was  a  widow,  and  when  she 
died  she  was  buried  in  the  church  of  St.  Peter  and  St.  Paul  (now  the 
church  of  Stc.  Genevieve),  in  Paris.  Her  monument,  as  before- 
fald,  marks  an  epoch  not  only  in  costume,  but  in  Christian  civitisa-

tion ;  and  as  with  the  former  only  we  have  here  to  do,  it  may  be' 
observed  that  during  the  later  period  of  the  lifi:  of  this  pious  princesiJ 
(still  at  this  day  in  France  called  Saintc  Clothilde),  the  "weeds"  of^ 
a  widow,  such  as  those  she  wore,  resembled  the  austere  garb  of 
nun,  and   by  the  daiwn  of  the  6th  century,  or  thereabouts,  even' 
French  wire*  had  become  ascetic  in  outward  appearance.      Home- 
spun were  their  scanty  garments  of  linen,  and  home-dyed  their  outer* 
raiments  of  wool,  and  so  strictly  was  their  costume  altogether  regu- 
lated by  the  law  of  man,  that  it  not  only  compelled  home  industry  in 
preparing  it,  but  excluded  all  diance  of  display,  whether  of  person 
or  individual  taste.     The  long  piece  of  thick  stuff  attached  to  a 
female  head  in  those  hard  times  was  not  ungraceful  in  its  threefold 
use    of  veil,  mantle,  and   bandtUtUy  or   brow    band,   but    then   it 
suffered  not  a  single  stray  hair  to  be  seen.     Much  more  licence  was, 
however,  allowed  by  Frenchmen   to   themselves  in  the  matter  of 
modti-i  and  by  the  lime  of  the  great  Charlemagne  superb  was  the 
costume  of  male  courtiers  ;  the  cloak  bright  blue,  lined  with  white 
and  trimmed  with  fiir,  the  sandals  gilt  \   and  Charlemagne  himsdf, 
when  smaller  men  wore  long  beards,  shaved  his  chin  and  twirled  his 
moustaches.  But  the  one  article  most  favoured  amongst  the  "  swells" 
of  that  day  was  a  walking-stick  of  apple-tree  wood,  knotted  at  equal 
distances,  and  surmounted  by  a  big  apple  made  of  gold  or  silver. 
Is  it  possible  that  this  big  apple-topped  stick  compelled  obedience  oni 
the  part  of  Eve's  descendants  contemporary  with  it  ?     Away  such  a 
suspicion  from  gallant  Gaul !      But,  nevertheless,  true  it  was  that  for 
a  long  time  not  a  French  wife  of  high  rank  could  get  into  her  i 
strait,  stiff-collared  gown,  without  being  visibly  reminded  of  her 
family  duties,  for  on  uue  side  it  was  emblazoned  with  the  heraldic 
devices  of  her  father,  and  on  the  other  by  those  of  her  husband. 

Startling  were  some  of  these  devices,  which  not  only  was  the' 
French  wife  constrained  to  wear,  but  had  probably  been  previousli 
compelled  to  work  ;  such  as  dragons,  snakes,  or  hook-beaked  birds,! 
vicious-looking  enough  to  have  pecked  at  the  fair  Kngcrs  of  their 
meek  worker  and  wearer. 

Some  uncertainty  there  is  as  to  the  exact  date  when  this  strange 
fashion  was  first  imposed  on  French  females  of  high  degree ;  but 
prevalent  it  was  long  before  the  time  when  playing-caids  were  in- 
vented, although  they,  in  some  sort,  poruay  it  on  card  **  Queens 
of  that  later  period  when,  as  we  shall  soon  see,  emancipated

Meantime,  wKcn  French  husbands  were  away  fighting  barbarotu 
battles,  and  French  wives  stayed  at  home  to  work  their  own  gowtis 
in  honour  of  their  husbands*  deeds,  monks  and  nuns  naturally  oI>> 
tained  a  social  ascendancy  over  the  female  French  mind  ;  for  it  was 
not  only  some  excitement  to  listen  to  monastic  legends  of  saints  and 
martyrs,  but  in  many  cases  still  more  so  to  look  forward  to  the 
festivals  of  the  Church,  in  those  days  when  other  Great  Exhibitions 
were  not.  With  the  Crusades^  however,  came  new  customs  ;  and 
French  costume  was  widened,  varied^  and  elaborated,  as  the  age  of 
chivalry  advanced.  To  French  ladies  then  sang  troubadours.  And 
poets,  who  were  at  the  same  time  pilgrims  returned  from  the  East, 
recited  tales  of  love  and  war,  until  at  last  queens  and  noble  dames  of 
France,  inspired  by  the  thoughts  of  glorious  deeds  born  of  love,  not 
only  formed  courts  in  Love's  name,  which  they  ruled  by  laws  of 
chivalry,  but  some  of  them  even  obtained  grants  from  the  Church  to 
accompany  their  husbands  to  the  wars,  and  thus  became  Crusaders 
also. 

No  longer  meekly  wearing  the  one  scanty  gown  a-year,  such  as 
their  grandmothers  had  worked  and  worn,  French  ladies  now 
attached  their  own  symbolically -selected  colours,  bright  and  flowing, 
to  the  shields  and  helmets  of  their  own  true  knights,  who  were  ex- 
pected either  to  die  for  those  colours  or  successfully  to  defend  them. 
Nor  could  suy-at-homc  French  monks  and  nuns  resist  the  charm 
of  Eastern  narrative,  of  talcs  of  ihc  land  whence  came  their  faith, 
together  with  the  gold  and  frankincense,  and  myrrh — the  offerings 
and  incense  of  their  sanctuaries — for  by  education  they  were  the 
men  and  women  best  calculated  to  Interpret  the  allegories  involved  in 
Oriental  tales.  French  society  then,  as  now,  was  but  human ;  and  it 
need  scarcely  be  said  that  with  increased  so-Callcd  civilization  and 
means  of  luxury  social  abuses  began  to  abound,  until  it  became 
impossible  by  modes  of  dress  always  to  define  with  precision  the 
rank  of  their  wearer.  It  therefore  happened  that,  in  the  reign  of 
Louis  VIIL,  a  class  of  women — not  of  the  Court,  but  rather  of 
the  camp— dressed  in  such  a  costly  manner  that  much  social  con- 
fusion arose,  until  one  day  (a.d.  1224)  Queen  Blanche  ofCastitle, 
the  lovely  and  pious  consort  of  Louis  VIU.,  being  at  mass,  received 
**  the  kiss  of  peace  "  from  a  female  fellow-worshipper  whom  she 
believed  to  be  of  a  class  and  character  to  approach  her,  and  It  waa 
not  until  after  Cijiecn  Blanche  had  returned  "the  kiss  of  peace" 
that  she  discovered  her  mistake,  being  certified  of  which  she  ap-

pealed  to  the  King,  her  husband^  and  obained  Irom  him  an  edict 
pn>hibiting  any  female  whose  antecedents  would  not  bear  inquiry  to 
wear  "  gowns  with  trains,  and  capes,  and  /i7/  hells."  But  the  edict 
was  evaded.  *'■  The  modest  women,  however,  consoled  themselves 
for  this  neglect  with  the  testimony  of  their  conscience,  and  the  good- 
ness of  their  reputation  j "  and  the  form  of  words  in  which 
thus  consoled  themselves  became  a  proverb,  still  fiuniltar  in  France

The  Princess  Isabella,  one  of  the  eleven  children  of  Qui 
Blanche,  founded  the  Abbey  of  Longchanip,  in  the  Bois  de  Bou- 
logne, whither  it  became  the  fashion  to  make  pilgrimages — especially 
on  Ash  Wednesday,  Holy  Thursday,  and  Good  Friday — many 
pilgrims  being  attracted  thither  by  the  harmonious  voices  of  the 
nuns.  This  antique  fashion  long  endured,  as  wc  all  know  ;  but,  its 
purpose  how  perverted,  when  all  that  is  mostly  remembered  of  Long- 
champ  in  this  our  19th  century,  is  the  display  of  toilettes  still 
special  to  the  Bois  de  Boulogne,  and  which  until  lately  were  made 
patent  by  the  name  of  that  Abbey  founded  by  the  pious  Princen 
Isabella,  one  of  whose  brothers  (Louis  IX.)  was  the  "  Saint  Louis" 
of  whom  Louis  XVL  was  reminded  by  the  Abbe  Edgcworth  on 
scaffold. 

Queen  Blanche  was  Regent  during  the  minority  of  her  son,  Sc 
Louis,  who,  having  vowed  to  repair  to  the  Holy  Land,  died,  in  the 
fifty-sixth  year  of  his  age,  in  his  attempt  to  subdue  the  infidels. 
When  at  home  he  was  so  prompt  and  impartial  in  administering 
justice  that  Joinville,  his  contemporary  biographer,  says  :  *' I  have 
often  seen  the  saint  sitting  beneath  an  oak  tree  in  the  wood  of  Via- 
cennes,  or  on  a  carpet  in  a  garden,  when  all  who  had  any  cause 
complaint  fi'eely  approached  him."  It  was  in  his  reign  that  the 
orders  of  mendicant  monks,  the  Augustins  and  the  Carmelit 
settled  in  Paris,  and  many  convents  and  hospitals  were  founded 
faim;  it  is  not  therefore  to  be  wondered  at  that  fanaticism  then  be- 
came zfathim  in  France,  as  elsewhere  then  in  Europe.  Scourges 
of  leather  thongs  were  carried  by  penitents,  who  walked  in  publiC| 
*'  and  with  tears  and  groans  lashed  themselves  on  their  hare  back* 
until  the  blood  ran,"  and  even  men  and  women  who  were  of  no 
monastic  order  wore  the  chape  or  chaperon^  which  cape  or  hood  had 
an  ecclesiastical  appearance,  albeit  often  made  of  splendid  stu&.

the  King-Saint,  Louis,  issued  an  edict  fotbidding  any  of  his  subjects 
but  those  whose  lives  were  virtuous  to  wear  these  chaperon  garments  \ 
and  Jews  in  France  during  this  reign  were  distinguished  from 
Christians  by  two  red  cloth  patches,  cut  in  the  form  of  wheels,  which 
they  were  compelled  to  display  on  their  cloaks,  before  and  behind. 
The  game  at  chess  and  aJl  games  of  dice  were  then  forbidden  to  be 
played,  and  love  songs  ceased  to  be  heard.  Musical  instruments, 
such  as  those  once  twanged  by  troubadours,  were  silent.  The  only 
music  that  prevailed  was  that  of  the  mournful  voice  of  the  penitent, 
and  the  Sainc-King  Louis  IX.,  whose  countenance — if  monuments 
and  old  pictures  arc  to  be  relied  on — was  beautiful  and  ecstatic,  wore 
(he  Roman  cloak,  Hcur-dc-lys  adorned,  like  ICing  Clovis  had  worn, 
but  with  a  cross  attached  to  it,  like  a  crusader. 

Remarkable  was  the  reaction  which  took  place  in  French  cos- 
tumes and  customs  within  half  a  century  after  the  demise  of  St. 
Louis,  for  in  1310,  during  the  reign  of  Philip  IV.,  surnamed  the 
Fair,  such  splendour  of  apparel  and  disregard  of  time-honoured  con- 
ventions prevailed  in  France  that  monks  openly  attended  fairs  and 
markets  for  secular  purposes,  and  nuns  wearing  silks,  *'  dressed  their 
hair  in  the  fashionable  style,"  and  were  present  at  most  places  of 
public  amusement.  Pins  were  first  used  in  France  about  this  time, 
and  helped  to  arrange  feminine  garments  in  fantastic  forms,  unpre- 
cedented on  Christian  wearers.  Pins  were  then  called  afficha  ;  pieces 
of  costly  tissue  took  the  place  of  jf^Aur,  or  neck-handkerchiefs,  and 
robes  adorned  with  gold  or  brilliant  trinkets  were  upheld  on  one 
side,  ^^ftndun  commi  iei  tuni^ues  dei  fillet  ds  Laci'd^Mne"  but  the 
different  classes  of  the  nobility  still  hoped  to  distinguish  themselves 
by  the  btcadth  of  their  cloaks,  the  length  of  their  trains,  and  the 
magnificence  of  their  furs  and  ermine.  Mats  were  not  yet  known, 
but  caps,  male  and  female,  were  worn  of  velvet,  and  sometimes 
over  the  cap  was  drawn  a  hood,  with  a  \zrf  long  tail  hanging  down 
behind,  and  topped  by  a  cushion,  an  elaborate  chaptnn^  the  larger  in 
form  ihe  higher  the  rank  of  the  wearer.  Rank  was  also  proclaimed 
by  the  length  of  the  shoes,  whence  came  the  French  proverb— 
"  Etrt  tur  un  grand  pied  dans  It  monde\  "  and  these  shoes  (which 
were  said  tu  have  been  first  brought  into  fashion  by  a  nobleman  who 
had  some  defect  in  bis  foot,  and  wished  to  hide  it)  were  frequently 
adorned  with  horns,  claws,  or  some  grotesque  figure  ;  the  more 
ridiculous  it  was  the  greater  its  beauty.  Nor  was  extravagance 
limited  to  matters  of  costume,  for  the  variety  of  enirrmttt  served  on

various  tables  having  tKen  become  notorious,  laws  were  passed,  not 
only  CO  restrain  annual  ouday  in  dress,  but  tu  limit  the  number  of 
dishes,  especially  on  Fast  Days.  Crowns  of  gold  or  silver  were 
Ibrbidden  to  be  worn  by  citizens  or  their  wives,  from  which  cxtraordi- 
nary  interdict  it  must  be  presumed  that  the  bnurgeaiiit  of  Paris  had  by 
that  time  grown  into  a  wealthy  institution,  anxious  to  compete  with 
the  Court,  and  to  display  itself  in  public,  for  it  was  moreover  for- 
bidden to  the  citizen  and  his  dame  to  be  lighted  home  at  night  with 
waxen  torches.  But  it  was  easier  for  the  king  and  the  bishops  to 
draw  up  a  code  of  sumptuary  laws  than  to  compel  its  observance, 
and  even  when  some  special  dress  clause  was  enforced.  Fashion  found 
modes  to  revenge  herself:  for  example,  long-shaped  and  grotesque 
figurc-adoincd  sht>es  were  abolished  by  a  fine  of  ten  florins  which 
their  wearers  were  made  to  pay  ;  but  the  long  shoes  were  succeeded 
by  such  broad  ones  that  they  were  more  than  a  foot  wide.  Many 
were  the  fines  which  even  ladies  of  rank  had  to  pay  out  of  the 
aumaniirfy  or  splendidly  adorned  purse,  in  the  form  of  a  flat  bag, 
which  it  was  their  wont  to  wear  suspended  on  one  side  by  a  long 
chain,  and  these  Una  on  fashion  helped  to  enrich  the  royal  exche- 
quer; but  that  they  were  not  exacted  with  any  moral  intention  of 
repressing  public  extravagance  was  proved  by  the  fact  that  on  his 
deathbed  King  Philip,  who  vras  himself  one  of  the  handsomest  and  most 
luxurious  tyrants  of  his  day,  conjured  his  eldest  son  and  successor  to 
suppress  the  new  taxes,  and  himself  revoked  all  the  edicts  by  which 
they  had  been  established  ;  and  after  his  time,  such  ridiculous  dress 
fashions  prevailed — especially  iimongst  the  gentlemen  of  France— 
that  by  the  time  Philip  VI.,  the  fust  monarch  of  the  line  of  Valois, 
Succeeded  to  the  throne,  he  was  greeted  by  subjects  whose  heads 
were  laden  with  feathers,  and  whose  garments  were  too  short  and 
light  to  need  description,  for  there  was  scarcely  anything  of  them. 

In  the  reign,  however,  of  Charles  V.,  grandson  of  Philip  VI., 
and  sunumed  the  /f7j^,  a  great  improvement  was  effected  in  French 
costume.  Short  mantles,  lam  sleeves,  but  superbly  trimmed,  were 
worn  by  gentlemen,  and  the  dress  of  a  lady  of  that  time  was  so  free 
(rom  absurdity  that  it  might  have  been  reproduced  in  many  an  after 
age  with  advantage,  although  here  it  leaves  but  little  to  describe  save 
that  the  hair,  drooping  naturally,  was  confined  by  a  barultau  of  silk 
or  gems,  or  else  covered  by  a  cap  of  ernune,  or  some  rich  stuff, 
pointed  downward  in  the  centre  towards  the  forehead,  and  raised  in 
slight  curves  on  either  side ;  the  sleeves  and  skirts  of  the  dreSs  were

long  and  flowing,  and  the  bodice,  though  delining  the  Agure,  was 
slightly  open. 

,  Quite  distinct,  about  that  timc»  was  the  dress  of  the  thamhriirt^ 
or  waiting' maid  ;  fur  short  were  her  skirts,  something  like  those  of  a 
Swiss  peasant,  whilst  her  head  was  enveloped  in  a  toiffurt  not  'unUkc 
that  of  a  grand  Turk  in  old  picture-books>  but  which  quite  con'< 
cealed  her  hair. 

Very  startling  were  the  "  fashions"  succeeding  those  just  named.

although  it  is  somewhat  difficult  to  define  exactly  the  year  when 
sotac  costume  caprices  first  displayed  themselves;  suffice  ic  ther6- 
fbrc  to  say,  that  after  the  imbecile  Charles  VI.  had  mounted  the 
throne,  his  subjects,  male  and  female,  for  the  most  part  dressed  like 
mad  people.  Tight  still  was  mde  clothing,  but  of  two  distinct 
colours  right  and  left. 

One  leg  was  scarlet,  the  other  blue  \  or  one  arm  was  black  and 
the  other  white,  the  colours  being  contrasted  according  to  the  taste 
of  the  wearer,  as  also  were  the  devices  by  which  his  short  coat  was 
variegated.  This  harlequinade  of  colours,  and  likewise,  as  men- 
tioned in  a  previous  page,  the  heraldic  devices  of  ladies*  dresses,  is  in 
some  measure  observable  on  playing  cards,  generally  supposed  to 
have  been  invented  at  this  time  for  the  amusement  of  Charles  VI.,

gonncur,  who  painted  "cards  in  gold  and  divers  colours"  (oi  (he 
lung's  entertainment ;  but  it  is  here  as  well  to  mention  the  ^ct  that 
gambling  generally  had  for  centuries  previously  been  rife  in  Krance» 
and  games  at  cards  had,  long  before  the  reign  of  Charles  VI., 
according  to  Bernardo  of  Sienna,  been  played  in  Italy.  But,  without 
here  going  still  further  into  the  card  question,  we  must  commiserate 
the  unfortunate  Charles  VI.,  who  sought  tu  beguile  thought  in  any 
way,  however  puerile,  when  we  remember  what  manner  of  woman 
was  his  coarse  and  cruel  consort, Isa.bclla  of  Bavaria.  Surely  no  man 
in  his  senses  can  wonder  that  the  sight  of  her  did  occasionally  scare 
the  imbecile  king,  for  on  her  head  she  wore  hornsj  and  these  grew 
wider  and  wider,  and,  in  proportion,  higher. 

This  formidable  horn  head-dress,  variously  decked  with  jewels  or 
fur,  was  introduced  into  France  by  the  Queen  above-named,  and 
became  eventually  so  monstrous  that,  the  horns  growing  at  least  two 
yards  apart  from  each  other,  doorways  were  enlarged  to  admit  the 
b^c.^dth  of  them. 

And  not  only  horas  but  tails  were  at  that  time  worn  by  ladjcs, 
and  to  these  "rifA«  a  queiu^*  ot  long-train  dresses,  were  attached 
sleeves  which  swept  the  ground.  In  addition  to  all  this,  jt  may  be 
observed  that  ornaments,  resembling  animals'  cars,  were  sometimes 
appended  to  the  horns  ;  but  the  undergarments  of  this  amazing 
costume  were  usually  of  wool  or  coarse  cloth,  for  fine  linen  was  at 
t\xM  time  so  rare  in  France  that  the  mighty  Isabella  herself  possessed 
but  a  scant  supply  of  It  as  a  luxury. 

When  Charles  VII.  became    king,  the  appearance  of  men  and 

women  was  more  equalized  by  dress  ;  for  that  monarch,  who  owed 

his  crown  to  Joan  of  Arc,  was  of  low  stature,  and  had  such  very 

short  legs,  that  no  two-coloured  tights  suited  them  ;  so  he  adopted 

the  dress  best  calculated  to  conceal  the  defects  of  his  person,  and 

thereby  revived  the  fashion  of  long  and  flowing  male  garments  in 

France.     By  his  successor,  however,  a  total  revolution  was  again 

cifectcd  in  matters  of  costume ;  for  Louis  XI.,  who  is  said  to  have 

cxulicd  at  the  death  of  his  own  father,  and  whose  cruelty  was  so 

■  detestable  that  it  earned  for  him  the  title  of  "  Scourge  of  the  Human 

H  Race,"  seems  to  have  satirized  his  male  subjects  by  causing  them  to 

H  be  dressed  like  apes  ;  which,  as  Monstrelcl,  the  observing  chronicler 

H  of  that  time,  declares  was  "  .  .  chose  tres  mal  honnete  et  mpudiqut.*' 

H  To  say  not}iing  of  the  pan lahns,  save  that  ihey  were  strained  tight 

H  teyond  any  decent  precedent,  and  adorned  with  a  riband  rosette;

the  short  jackets,  which  did  not  reach  the  waist,  were  sustained  by 
false  shoulders,  called  mahaltrety  to  give  a  broad-chested  appearance 
to  their  wearers,  whose  eyebrows  were  almost  hidden  beneath  the 
]ong  front  hair  then  in  fashion,  and  whose  pointed  shoes,  called; 
psulaines^  even  exceeded  those  of  the  time  of  Philip  IV.,  being  two 
feet  in  length. 

Nor  was  female  dress  less  remarkable  in  the  reign  of  Louis  XLj-- 
for  before  his  lime  the  horn  head-dress  had  been  superseded  by  that 
shaped  like  a  pointed  sugar-loaf,  which  attained  such  a  summit  of  ^ 
fashion,  that  whereas  doorways  had  formerly  been  widened  to  admit 
the  horns,  they  were  now  made  loftier  to  let  in  the  loaf,  from  the 
topmost  point  of  which  was  suspended  a  veil  of  such  length  that  ie 
touched  the  ground,  although  the  robe  a  queue — the  long-dress  train — 
was  cut  off*,  as  also  sleeves  which  had  formerly  drooped  to  the  feet 
of  the  wearer.  Ear-rings  and  bracelets  had  been  introduced  in  the 
reign  of  Charles  VII.,  and  these  ornaments  were  of  course  much  in 
request  during  that  of  his  successor,  Louis  XL  All  sorts  of  arti- 
ficial personal  adornments  and  toilette  practices,  supposed  to  enhance 
personal  beauty,  then  became  general.  Wigs  and  false  hair  date  Jn 
France  from  the  time  of  Louis  XL  ;  and,  curious  for  us  in  this 
day  to  observe,  the  unnatural  custom  made  familiar  Co  us  by 
recent  19th-century  contemporary  fashion,  of  dying  hair  yellow  or 
gold  colour,  was  then  (1461)  adopted  in  France.  The  ladies,  as 
bcforesaid,  had  cut  ofF  their  trains,  but  their  shortened  garments 
were  trimmed  with  immensely  wide  borders.  Formerly,  as  already 
mentioned,  fine  linen  had  been  much  worn  in  France,  but  in  pro- 
portion as  outward  and  meretricious  adornment  became  rife,  fine 
linen  grew  rare.

SIR  PHILIP  FRANCIS.  K.C.B.* 

|F,  in  these  days  of  rapid  thought  and  indifference  to  thtf 
past,  tlic  public  can  interest  themselves  in  the  bygone 
history*  o(  llic  British  press,  the  memoirs  before  us  arc  welt 
worth  adention.  Mr.  Mcriralc  has  "untlertaken  to  present 
to  llie  public  the  fruits  of  Mr.  Parkcs's  labour,  but  on  a  scale 
less  than  that  which  Mr.  Pnrkes  had  intended  ;"  for  hat!  the  biography 
been  puWishetl  on  the  original  plan,  it  would  have  cost  Mr.  Parkes 
"  ten  or  twenty  years  of  a  life  already  far  advanced,  and  would  have 
occupied  many  volumes."  With  regard  to  the  Tfxa/a  qufsttA  of  the 
identity  of  Junius  with  Francis,  the  editor  admits  that  the  paper*  coni 
tain  no  confession  on  tb«  part  of  Sir  Philip,  noraoy  direct  evidence* 
The  proofs  arc  much  the  same  in  character  as  tliey  were  before  tli^ 
exammation  of  tlic  papers  collected  by  Mr.  Parkes ;  but  they  are  raor6 
complete.  Though  there  is  no  acknowledgment  of  the  authorship,  it  ti 
difficult  on  any  o3ier  supposition  to  account  for  the  fact  that  Francis's 
minute  correspondence  and  autobiography  indicate  not  one  fact  incon> 
sislent  with  it,  and  that  he  has  evidently  mutilated  Im  {upcrs  with  the 
intention  of  concealing  something.  There  i.s  a  striking,  almost  a 
terrible  passage  in  I,ady  Francis'  recollections  of  her  husband,  in  which 
she  &ay^  that  "  it  was  the  opinion  of  some  of  his  most  intimate  iJiends 
that  his  hesitation  in  parliamenury  speaking  (for  be  was  not  a  successitil 
orator),  was  partly  owing  to  the  consciousness  of  his  secret.  He  set 
so  constant  and  habitual  a  guard  on  his  lips.  .  .  .  that  the  habit  re* 
maincd,  even  in  eases  where  the  secret  was  not  at  all  in  question." 

Philip  Francis  was  bom  in  Dublin,  October  31,  1740.  His  father  was 
*  well-known  scholar,  and  translator  of  Horace,  Demosthenes,  &c  At 
the  time  of  Philip's  birth,  Dr.  Francis  appears  to  have  been  a  curate  in 
Dublin,  engaged  in  writing  for  the  press  in  the  interesl  of  the  Castlft 
At  the  age  of  twelve,  Philip  was  sent  to  St.  Paul's  School,  London, 
9rhere  he  remained  till  1756;  when  haWng  become  head  boy,  he  obtained, 
through  I^dy  Holland's  influence,  an  appointment  in  one  of  the 
Secretary  of  Stale's  offices,  as  Junior  clerk.  Dr.  Francis,  who  was  a 
worldly,  sceptical  sort  of  parson,  was  then  private  chaplain  to  ludy 
'Holland.  In  1758,  Phihp  was  appointed  secretary  to  General  Biigh  in 
the  expedition  against  Cherbourg;  and  in  1760,  though  then  only 
twenty,  he  went  to  Lisbon  as  secretary  to  Lord  KinnoulL  1-Ie  appears

virtuous  young  lady  as  poor  as  her  lover.  Dreading  the  res  angusla 
dffmi  for  their  children,  liolh  fathers  opposed  the  engagement ;  but  aflct 
3  clandestine  court:ihip  of  some  months,  the  nuirriage  took  pLicc,  and 
in  May,  1763,  a  daughter  was  bom.  Dr.  Frani:is  was  offended  at  th» 
match,  and  his  bitterness  was  increased  by  political  differences  with  hi» 
son ;  they  do  not  apjicar  to  have  been  completely  reconciled  to  each  othe#  j 
till  1767,  when  poverty  and  an  attack  of  palsy  softened  tlie  heart  of 
tlie  old  man.  After  this  diite  the  Doctor's  letters  to  his  son  generally 
contain  a  request  for  30/.  or  50/. ;  and  is  these  sums  do  not  ajipear  to 
have  been  repaid,  the  young  clerk  must  have  been  considerably  ham- 
pered by  his  liberality  to  his  gambling  and  drinking  father.  Sir  Philip 
once  told  Lady  Francis  that  he  scarcely  rcroembered  the  time  when  he 
did  not  write ;  but  his  first  ascertained  appearance  in  print  was  occar 
stoned  by  an  "O.  I'."  contest  in  1765,  when  ho  attacked  Garrick  in  A 
handbill  signed  "  An  F.nemy  to  Imposition.''  , 

In  the  same  year,  the  growing  unpopularity  of  Lord  Bute— "dttt 
reputed  lover  of  the  king's  mother,  the  minion,  the  Scot'' — as  he  waf 
tenncd,  compelled  that  minister  to  rc3i;EP^ ;  but  be  must  have  been  privj

Francis,  who  luid  been  promised  preferment  liy  I.ord  Egrcraont,  could  • 
not  openly  express  his  indignation,  though  he  took  an  intense  interest  iaj 
the  contest  which  followed.     In  the  Fub/ic  AdviriUer,  }u\y  2f»,  1764,. 
appeared  a  letter  signed  "Crito,"  justifying  the  verdicts  agamst  thft!

declining  to  print  a  second  letter  by  "  Candor,"  unless  he  would  give  his 
real  name,  the  correspondence  was  published  by  Almon  in  a  pamphlet. 
Accident  has  shown  that  "  Francis"  and  "Candor"  were  identical.  In  the 
autumn  of  1764,  the  Court,  the  Ministry,  and   1-X.rd  Mansfield,  were 
stung   to   the   quick    by    "  An    Enquiry   into  the   Doctrine   of  Libel^  1

on  record  in  the  prosecution  of  Wilkes.     Almon  escajied  through  ■ 
ludicrous  mistake.    So  full  was  every  one's  mind  of  Wilkes,  that  the  rule 
was  entitled  "  The  King  against  John  Wilkes,  instead  of  John  Almon. 
A  new  rule  was  preiwred,  but  the  Rockingham  aclmiuisiration  let  the 
matter  drop.      As  "  Anti-Sejanus,"  Francis  opitosed  Lord  Rockingham's 
American  policy,  and  went  so  far  as  to  caricature  the  physical  infir*^ 
roiiies  of  his  idol  Pitt  for  saying,  "I  rejoice  that  America  has  resisted."

The  Genileman's  Magazine.  [March, 


Francis  was  in  favour  of  ihc  legal  right  of  the  mother  country  to  tax  the 
colonies  ;  and  he  strongly  disapproved  of  the  repeal  of  the  Stamp  Act, 
and  the  absurd  imposition  of  the  equally  obnoxious  duties  on  imported 
goods.  In  1773  he  made  a  tour  on  the  continent  i  but  his  letters  at 
that  time  are  not  particularly  interesting.  He  did  not  like  the  French  and 
Germans  much  more  than  the  Portuguese,  and  the  Italians  he  specially 
despised.  It  may  be  remarked  here  that  he  hated  the  Scotch,  and  that 
Junius  says  in  one  of  his  letters,  "  I  would  as  lief  be  a  Scot  as  a  lawyer." 
In  short  he  was  a  man  of  many  and  strong  antipathies  to  individuals 
and  classes  of  men.  "  Francis  derived  no  accession  of  fortune  from  the 
decease  of  his  father  (March  5,  1773),  who  appears  to  have  accumulated 
nothing."  He  must,  however,  have  been  pecuniarily  a  gainer  by  the 
cessation  of  the  begging  letters : — 

"Wilhout   jilacc  or  cRiploynicnl  (for  he  had  from  some  uncxplaint-J  rrawin  left' 
(Ik  Wu  Office  in  Marcli.  1772),  with  n  wife  and  ticveTail  inrnnt  chtldicn  to  provMa ' 
tei  his  patron  CftlcnA  OcskI,  Irit  pulilical  friendt  in  hopdcw  o[)]Ki»tic»i,  liis  poniiaa 
iru  meUnchoIj  in  the  extreme." 

The  clouds,  however,  soon  cleared  away,  for,  through  the  influence  of 
Lord  Barringlon,  he  was  made  .1  member  of  the  new  Council  of  India, 
urith  a  salary  of  10,000/.  3  year,  Shortly  after  his  appointment,  Francis 
paid  a  visit  to  Lord  Clive  in  Shropshire ;  and  it  is  probable  that  from 
this  visit  sprung  his  antipathy  to  Warren  Hastings — an  antipathy  which 
certainly  had  taken  possession  of  his  mind  before  his  arrival  in  India. 
Macrabieor  Macknibie  (for  the  name  is  spelt  indifferently  with  or  without 
a  *),  accompanied  his  broiher-in-law  as  pri\-ate  secretary.  They  embarked 
on  board  the  Aihburnham,  April  1,  1774,  and  were  accompanied 
throughout  the  voyage  by  the  Anson,  on  board  which  vessel  were  the 
judges  of  the  Supreme  Ccmrt,  created  by  the  Regulation  Act,  to  which 
Ftands  owed  his  appointment.  Macrabie  seems  to  have  been  devoured 
by  jealousy  of  the  judges,  as  his  journal  is  lull  of  gibes  at  the  passengers 
on  board  the  Anson,  and  it  is  loo  probable  that  in  this  case  as  in  others, 
he  took  his  cue  from  his  principal.  They  reached  Calcutta,  October  19, 
X774,  and  Macrabie  complains  of  the  absence  of  ceremony  wiih  whicli 
they  were  received.  Hastings,  well  informed  of  the  disposition  of  the 
visitors,  must  iiave  fell  bke  Dfj'den's  Hunter,  who  sailh — 

•*  "      Here  comes  ray  mortal  enemy. 
And  either  he  must  fall  in  Rghl  or  l." 

Macrabie  gives  an  amusing  account  of  a  ball : — 

**  If  splendour  accomptinied  heal,  a  ball  in  IndiA  ought  to  he  gncommonly  fplcodid.

The  four  years  passed  by  Francis  in  India  were  occupied  principally 
by  one  inces&aut  quarrel  with  Hastings  and  with  cvcr>-  one  who  bu]>- 
ported  Hastings;  a  quarrel  which  culminated  in  a  duel  in  which  the

Governor-General  wounded  his  antagonist  badly.  During  his  residence 
in  India,  the  most  interesting  episodes  in  Fra.ncis'  private  life  were  his 
successful  coups  at  whist,  and  his  unsuccessful  love  aAair  with  Madanie 
Grand ;  (not  Mrs.  Grant,  as  she  has  been  described  by  Sir  H.  L.  Bulwer 
and  the  "Quarterly  Review,"  but)  the  wife  of  a  Swiss  gentleman  and 
the  daughter  of  a  M.  Worltfe,  of  Flemish  extraction.  Though  he  met 
witii  but  little  encouragement  from  Madame  Grand  (who  afterwards 
marrieil  Talleyrand),  Francis  succeeded  in  compromising  her  gooj 
name  without  establishing  his  own  credit  as  un  himtme  de  bonnes  forfutus. 
The  duel,  which  look  place  August  17,  1780,  was  the  finale  of  Francis' 
Indian  career;  he  returned  to  England  with  a  modest  fortune,  and  from 
the  day  of  his  landing  in  England,  October  19,  1781,  devoted  himself 
most  heartily  to  the  impeachment  of  Hastings.  From  this  rime  his 
life  may  be  considered  a  failure  ;  it  is  tme  that  he  contributed  largely 
to  the  ruin  of  Hastings ;  but  he  never  gained  the  prize  whicli  he  had 
coveted — the  Governor-Generalship  of  India. 

The  estimate  of  Francis'  character  in  the  book  before  us  is  singularly 
fair.  "His  biographers  have  seen  too  much  of  political  and  puUic 
life  to  set  up  an  idol  by  the  deification  of  any  public  man."  Mr. 
Mcrivale  is  no  hero  worshipper,  holding  that  tlie  end  justifies  the  means, 
and  that  the  crimes  of  Hastings  were  atoned  for  by  liis  brillijinl  talents  ; 
but  neither  does  he  approve  of  the  hostility  with  which  Francis, /<r/w 
rf  tufas,  pursued  hi*i  rival.  With  regard  to  F'rantis'  political  tendencies, 
Mr.  .Meri\-alc  differs  from  Lord  Macauby.     The  latter  says  that — 

"Jsniiit,  ihough  allied  by  common  enmities  with  (he  Jemocrntic  pirtv,  was  the 
vayoppoiKc  of  a  democratic  politicbn.  Whilu  mtackin^  indtric]iia!:i  with  a  r«rodly

Mr.  Mcrivale,  on  the  other  hand,  tells  us  that — 

"All  the  relics  of  his  early  writing  »1k>w  the  inieii>.iiy  of  lit«  early  prepossessions,'

Kngland,  or  of  parliamentary  reform  amftng  ouncIvcE,  camr  in  que^lian.  In  Crolli, 
the  radicalism  of  Francis  lay  very  deep  ....  there  was  a  fuisdameaial  belief  in  the 
doctrine  of  poliiwal  e<^uality." 

In  after  years  he  confessed  that  he  had  been  wrong  in  opposing  Pitt 
on  the  American  question.  Francis  seems  to  have  persuaded  himself 
that  "  Ihe  religion  of  the  Church  of  England  was  the  true  faith  of 
an  Englishman  and  a  gentleman."  His  private  life  was  not  spotless, 
not  probably  better  or  worse  tlun  the  average  of  his  day ;  but  if  not 
a  faithful  husband  to  his  first  wife,  he  was  a  tcniler  one,  and  in  money 
matters  was  as  generous  to  her  and  her  father  as  he  had  been  to  his  own 
father.  He  lived  on  easy  and  familiar  terms  with  his  son,  but  be  was 
still  more  warmly  attirhcd  to  his  daughters,  his  "  younger  sisters'*  as 
he  called  them.  The  two  whom  he  loved  best  died  young ;  and  m 
April,  1806,  they  were  followed  by  their  mother.     In  1814,  he  married

again,  and  he  seems  to  have  been  happy  with  lady  Francis  unlil  his ; 
death,  December  23,  iSiS.  "No  man,"  writes  Mr.  Parltes,  "more 
bitterly  regretted  the  severity  of  some  of  his  earlier  writings."  Perhaps 
the  greatest  blot  iipon  his  character  was  his  attack,  both  as  Francis  and 
as  "  Junius,"  on  his  [xitron  Calcrafi.  It  would  be  impossible  within  the 
limits  of  a  magazine  article  to  follow  Mr.  Merivalc  thrmigh  all  thC' 
evidence  in  favour  of  Francis'  identity  with  "Junius,"'  "Candor,"  "Antl- 
Sejanus,"  &:c. — but  wc  may  notice  a  claim  set  up  by  the  late  Mr.  Jelinger 
SjiDonSiand  reccnliy  renewed  by  the  writer  of  a  notice  in  "Echoe*  from 
the  Chibs,"  in  favour  of  William  Burke.  By  a  slip  of  the  i»en,  Mr. 
Merivale  has  spoken  of  W,  Burke  as  Edmund  Burke's  brother,  whereas 
he  was  in  reality  his  cousin.  Horace  Walpolc  says  that  "  Lord  Hills- 
borough was  acrimoniously  pursued  by  the  younger  Burke  in  many  pub- 
lications;" afterwards  Junius  took  the  same  side;  er^  (it  is  argued 
sometimes),  William  Burke  wrote  Junius.  It  is  clear,  however,  that. 
Watpolc  did  not  consider  Burke  to  be  Junius^  his  opinion  being  f^voup 
able  to  Hamilton's  claim.  W.  Burke  ft'as  in  the  House  of  Commons, 
and  it  is  generally  agreed  that  Junius  was  not  II  ia  hardly  necessary 
10  notice  such  an  argument  as  this.  William  Burke  was  out  of  town 
about  the  same  lime  aa  Junius,  therefore  they  were  one  and  Uie  same 
person  ! 

^Ve  cannot  close  these  "Memoirs"  withool  thanking  Mr.  Meiivalfl 
for  this  most  interesting  book  ;  a  book  which  ought  to  be  read  even  by 
those  who  do  not  care  about  the  Junius  controversy,  for  the  Iwauty  of 
the  style,  the  charming  anecdotes  with  which  it  abounds,  and  the  pjc-

HISTORICAL   CHARACTERS.* 

FIRST  NOTICE— TAI.LEYRANIX 

IF  the  four  historicil  character?  whose  portraits  Sir  Henry 
Bulwcr  now  gives  to  the  public,  Talleyrand  stands  most 
prominently  first ;  and,  considering  that  that  ''  Politic 
Man"  himself  is  said  to  have  named  this  present  time  for 
the  posthumous  publication  of  his  autobiography,  which 
uuhlicatton,  however,  is  still  likely  to  be  indeftnilely  delayed,  a  study  of 
him  is  just  now  peculiarly  seasonable. 

By  some  of  Talleyrand's  contemporaries  it  has  been  doubted  whcthc? 
any  serious  intention  of  writing  his  own  life  was  ever  entertained,  or 
completely  carried  out  by  him  ;  and  he  being  ciucstioned  one  day  with 
regard  to  this  subject,  answered,  "  Upon  that  point  I  am  undecided ; 
liut  I  know  tliat  iJiy  cook  is  busy  editing  his  Afmitires''

against  believing  everything  that  might  be  written  about  him ;  and,  in 
fact,  so  many  contradictions  h.ivc  been  published,  ro  many  fantastio 
portraits,  each  one  differing  from  the  other,  have  been  painted  of  him,' 
that  the  rational  view  of  him  now  presented,  by  so  relisble  a  lund  a9 
that  of  Sir  H.  Bulwcr,  rnnnol  fail  to  be  welcome  to  the  world  at  large^ 
whilst,  to  the  readers  of  Svi.vanhs  Uriias,  it  nxay  not  be  devoid  of 
interest,  to  test  that  view,  by  comparing  it  with  some  few  othen 
sketched  of  the  "  Politic  Man,"  and  the  times  he  lived  in,  by  roorc  than 
one  of  his  own  compatriots  and  contemporaries, 

Charles  Maurice  'I'alleyrand  de  Pt^rigord  was  born  in  the  month  of 
Fcbnjar}',  1751.  His  father,  who  eventually  became  Lieu  tenant-General 
of  the  armies  of  Louis  XV.,  was  the  honouraWe  representative  of  ail 
ilhistrious  house,  for  the  principality  of  Chalais  had  exbtcd  for  eight 
centuries  in  the  family  of  Pifrigord,  to  which  name  the  prefix,  Talleyrand 
(anciently  written  Tailleran),  is  supposed  to  have  originated  from  a 
sobriquet  derived  from  the  words  (aiUer  Us  rangs  (cut  through  thfl 
ranks]. 

The  mother  of  Charles  Maurice  wag  "a lady,  alike  remarkable  fotf ' 
her  beauty  and  her  virliie,"  at  the  court  of  Versailles  ;  but,  finding  that 
her  maternal  duties  were  incompatible  with  those  appertaining  to  her 
position  in  the  royal  household,  she  sent  liini,  lier  firstborn  son,  to  Is* 
reared  in  a  distant  jirovince ;  and  when,  some  ten  or  twelve  years  after- 
wards, he  returned  to  her,  he  had  KMome  an  incurable  cri])ple.  Various 
arc  the  reasons  alleged  for  this  fart :  Talleyrand  himself,  when  !>])cnking 
in  later  years  of  his  infirmity,  attributed  it  to  a  iall  from  a  tree  ;  but, 
whatever  the  cause,  the  consequences  of  it  were  8ucl)  as  to  exercise  a 
remarkable  influence  over  his  character  and  career  through  life. 

As  a  cripple,  he  was  unfit  for  the  anny,  and  he  was  therefore  to  be 
trained  for  the  priesthood  ;  and,  by  the  same  family  council  which 
decreed  his  dedication  to  the  Church,  it  was  decided  thai  bis  younger 
brother  (afterwards  known  as  the  Due  dc  P^rigord)  should  be  coniidcrcd 
the  elder. 

"From  this  moment,"  says  Sir  H.  Bulwer,  "  the  boy— hitherto  lively, 
idle,  and  reckless—became  taciturn,  studious,  and  calculating.  His 
early  propensities  remained,  for  nature  admits  of  no  radical  change ; 
but  they  were  coloured  by  disappointment,  or  combated  by  ambition. 
We  see  traces  of  gaiety  in  the  companion  who,  though  rarely  smiling 
himself,  could  always  elicit  a  laogh  from  oiliers ;  we  see  traces  of  indo- 
lence in  Ihc  statesman  who,  though  always  occupied,  never  did  more 
than  the  necessity  of  the  case  exacted  ;  wc  see  traces  of  recklessness  in 
ttie  gambler  and  politician  who,  aficr  a  shrewd  glance  at  the  chances, 
was  often  disposed  to  risk  his  fortune,  or  his  career,  on  a  s|>crulation  for 
money  or  power ;  but  the  mind  had  Iwen  darkened  and  the  heart  hanl- 
■ened  ;  and  the  youth  who  might  easily  and  carelessly  have  accepted  a 
prosperous  fate,  was  ushered  into  the  world  with  a  determination  10 
wrettle  with  an  adverse  one."  ' 

To  the  College  d'Harcourt  (St.  Louis)  he  was  first  sent,  then  to  the 
Sc'minaire  de  St.  Sulpice,  and  subsequently  to  the  .Sorbonnc,  by  which' 
lime  he  "was  often  pointed  out  as  a  remarkably  clever,  silent,  and  pro- 
fligate young  man,  who  disliked  the  profession  chosen  for  him,  but  was 
certain  to  arrive  at  its  highest  honours."*

Tiie  Gefiileftmu's  Magazine,  [March, 


In  1773,  one  year  before  the  death  of  Louis  XV.,  he  entered  the 
Galliran  Churrh,  and  not  long  aftervi-ards  made  his  appearance  in 
cleriral  atlirc  at  the  Court  of  Veniailies,  or  rather  in  that  sectioo  of  it 
notorious  as  the  circle  of  Madame  du  Ilarry, — a  section  quite  distinct 
from  that  of  the  voung  Llauphin  and  Dauphiness,  soon  to  become 
King  and  Queen  of  France,  or  from  that  other  one  composed  of  ptous 
and  stately  formalists,  amongst  whom  \-arious  members  of  the  Pi^gord 
family  had  formerly  slione  and  did  still  shine  conspicuous.  Louis  XV. 
himself,  weary  of  life,  yet  dreading  death,  craved,  like  the  Athenians  of 
oW,  for  "  somclhing  new."  To  one  in  the  daily  confidence  of  the  Due 
d'Aumcnt  (first  gentleman  of  his  chamber)  we  arc  indebted  for  the 
fbllon'ing  picture  of  Louis  XV.  during  the  last  period  of  his  life, — a 
picture  taken  of  him  when  he  knew  not  that  any  mortal  eye  beheld  him, 
for  the  narrator  was  invisible,  having  laiu  down  to  rest  on  a  sofa,  and 
covered  himself  with  a  cloak,  at  night  time,  in  an  ante-room  of  the  Due 
d'Aumont's  apartments  at  Versailles  : — "  Awakened  by  the  noise  of  a 
door  opening,  I  raised  my  head  and  saw  the  king.  At  first  he  looked 
round  the  ance-chambcr,  here  and  there.  The  lights  in  the  chandeliers 
were  burning  low.  '  There  ts  nobody  here,'  said  he,  and  then  he  l>cgan 
to  ^\'3lk  up  and  down,  sighing  and  murmuiing  in  the  tone  of  a  nun  who 
has  drunk  himself  sad.  Presently  he  paused  before  a  large  mirror,  and, 
after  conddering  himself  a  long  lime  in  it,  he  pressed  his  hands  on  his 
forehead,  his  ^eeks,  and  chin,  and  thus  apostrophised  himself — 
•Miserable  wretch  that  thou  aril  Murderer  of  thine  own  soul  and 
body  ! '  Then  his  pacing  u|>  and  down,  his  groans,  his  sad  monologue 
recommenced,  until  again  he  stopped  before  the  glass.  'Thou  will  not 
live  to  a  great  age,'  said  he  to  his  own  image  reflected  there,  *  and 
hell !  hell ! '  For  some  minutes  he  still  stood  looking  at  himself  with 
horror,  and  then  he  muttered,  'France!  How  is  she  governed!' 
Afterwards :  *  But  this  supper  lo-night  they  say  will  be  delicious — though 
all  is  wear>',  weary !    Why  can  nothing  new  be  invented  for  me  ?' " 

Welcome  was  a  new  witticism  to  t^uis  XV.,  even  though  uttered 
by  the  Abbi^  Tenay,  Comptrolter-General  of  Finance,  in  confession  of 
his  frauds  on  France  ;  for  one  day  Terray  being  recognised  in  a  popular 
assembly,  and  asked  by  the  mob,  "  Who  puts  our  money  into  his 
pockets?"  he  answered,  "My  friends,  I  really  do  not  know  where 
better  I  could  put  it."  Gladly  did  Madame  du  Ban)'  repeat  all  such 
moii  for  the  amusement  of  the  king,  whilst  she  politically  intrigued  at 
Versailles  with  his  ministerial  advisers,  who  in  discontented  and  over- 
Uued  Paris  were  pasquinaded, —

And  the  young  ecclesiastic,  Talleyrand,  early  recommended  himsdf  to 
her  notice  by  a  (>on  moi  to  which  he  owed  his  first  advance  in  his  pro- 
fession ;  for  one  day  when  there  were  assembled  around  Madame  du 
Barry  "a number  of  young  gcnilemcn  rather  free  in  their  conversation 
and  prodigal  in  their  boasts,"  Tallcynnd  alone  was  mute.  The  hostess, 
scrutinising  his  countenance,  which,  though  not  handsome,  was  remark- 
able from  "the  triple  expression  of  softness,  impudence  and  wit,"'  asked 
him,  "  And  what  makes  you  so  sad  and  silent  ?  "    To  which  he  replied ;

the  biography  before  us,  "was  consideret!  charming',  and  beintj  rc|jortC{|

abilities,  obtained  the  distinguished  position  of  Agent-General  of  the 
French  clergy, — an  important  pereonage,  who  administered  the  eccle- 
siastical revenues,  which  were  immense,  under  the  control  of  regular 
assemblies.  It  is  a  curious  trait  in  the  manners  of  these  times  that, 
whilst  holding  this  high  jiost  as  a  priest,  the  Abbtf  de  P^rigord  (Talley- 
rand) fitted  out  a  vessel  as  a  pri^Titeer,  and,  it  being  his  inicntion  to 
spoil  the  English,  received  from  the  French  government  the  cannon  he 
required  for  so  pious  a  purpose.  .  .  .  But  though  thus  early  marked  out  as 
a  person  who,  after  the  example  of  his  great  ecclesiastical  predecessors, 
might  rise  to  the  highest  dignities  in  the  Church  and  State,  he  showed 
an  almost  ostenutious  disregard  for  the  duties  and  decorum  of  the  pro- 
fession he  had  been  forced  to  embrace,  .  .  .  Each  year,  which  increased 
his  reputation  for  ability,  added  to  the  stories  by  which  poblir  rumour 
cxa^eralcd  his  immorality  ;  and  in  1788,  when  the  bishopric  of  Autun, 
to  which  he  had  for  some  time  been  looking  forward,  became  vaCADt, 
!-ouis  XVI.  was  unwilling  to  confer  the  dignity  of  prelate  on  so  irregidar 
an  ecclesiastic.  For  four  months  the  appointment  was  not  fdled  up. 
But  the  Abb^  de  Ft5rigord's  father  lay  at  that  lime  on  his  death-bed:  he 
was  visited  by  the  kind-hearted  Louis  XVL  in  this  condition,  and  he 
begged  Ihe  monarch,  as  the  last  request  of  a  dying  and  faithful  servant, 
to  gotit  the  bishopric  in  (question  to  his  son.  The  king  could  not 
witlutand  such  a  prayer  at  such  a  time,  and  the  Abb^  de  Ft^ord  wus 
consecrated  Bishop  of  Autun  on  the  17th  of  Januar)*,  1789 — four 
months  before  tlie  assembling  of  the  States-General." 

Meantime,  Voltaiie  had  been  apotheosized  in  Paris  (1778),  and 
Benjamin  Franklin  had  successfully  urged  the  cabinet  of  Versailles  to 
assist  in  depriving  the  Crown  of  England  of  its  dependencies  in  North 
America.  The  society  both  ofVersailTesandthe  l'alaisK,oyal  was  the  most 
brilliant  in  the  world  ;  but  the  royal  family  of  France,  as  represented  by 
those  i>e|iarate  places  of  abode,  was  divided  against  itself.  The  young 
heroes  of  France  were  those  who,  like  I^ayette,  had  fought  for  Liberty 
in  the  New  World  ;  the  favourite  dramatists  of  Paris  were  those  who, 
like  Diderot  and  Rcaumarchais,  had  revolutionised  the  principles  of  the 
French  stage  ;  and  the  fashionable  talk  of  the  day,  such  aa  that  en- 
coamged  1^  the  blind  but  still  fascinating  Madame  du  Defland,  or  by 
Madame  Gcoffrin,the  "nursing  mother  of  philosophcra" — and  to  which 
the  dinners  of  Hclvetius  and  Baron  Holbach,  and  the  receptions  of  the 
Protestant  minister  Ncckcr  (fiichcr  of  the  future  Madame  ric  Stael)  gave 
icst — was  c)T\icaI  enough  in  its  general  character  to  prove  that  Voltaire 
had  done  more  than  (he  work  he  originally  intended  to  do,  for  in 
destroying  all  faith  in  old  abuses  he  had,  as  has  been  elsewhere  said, 
confounded  the  dislincnons  between  truth  and  falsehood — sophistry  and 

B       common  sense.

Autun,  at  the  PakiiK  Royal,  where  Voltaire  in  his  last  days  had  been 
received  with  all  honour  when  refused  admission  to  the  court  ot 
Louis  XVI.  and  Marie  Antoinette.  In  Talleyrand,  the  Due  d'Orl^ns 
(Egalit^),  host  of  the  Palais  Royal,  IkuI  reason  to  hope  for  a  ]>owcrful 
ally,  as  that  crclesiaslic  had  politically  separated  himself  from  his 
family,  and  nnged  him^iclf  on  the  popular  side. 

Talleyrand  w.is  a  desperate  gambler,  like  Egalil^f  himself;  buj 
thougii  "he  thought  tiltc  a  deist,  he  preaclicd  like  a  saint,"  and  byfais 
plausible  eloquence,  his  affable  courtesy,  and  subtle  icprcscntations,  he, 
the  Church  dignitary  of  noble  birth,  induced  many  of  the  clergy  to 
follow  his  example  in  embracing  the  liberal  cause,  and,  like  Mirabeau, 
to  join  the  Third  Estate;  for  he  foresaw  the  future  triumph  of  the 
people,  and  his  diplomacy  was  henceforth  enlisted  on  the  side  of 
success,  of  which,  Ihouj^h  shifting  his  position  systematically  and  con- 
tinually, he  waa  ever  the  first  to  luil  the  dawn.  Not  one  of  the  signs 
of  his  ti»ies  had  escaped  this  ecclesiastic,  who  had  unwillingly  been 
forced  to  embrace  his  profession,  and  in  Paiis  a  restless  craving  for 
change  had  lung  been  everywhere  observable  about  liim..  Old  creeds 
were  in  his  youth  ihere  superseded  by  charlatanism.  The  Cardinal 
Prince  de  Rohau  waa  the  avowed  protector,  to  say  nothing  of  his  being 
the  ffuudtdent  accomplice  of  Cagliostro,  the  popular  "  Friend  of 
Humanity."  >IcsiQcr  was  worsluppcd  for  his  supposed  miracles; 
Swedeoborg  had  excited  an  enthusiasm  for  a  New  Jerusalem  ;  and,  as 
though  "  Providence  designed  for  some  mysterious  end  to  encourage  the 
aspiring  genius  of  the  epoch,  the  balloon  of  MoQtgolficr  took,  its  flight 
from  the  Tuileries,  and  the  most  romantic  dreams  were  surxxused  by  a 
reality."  It  is  only  fair  to  juflge  of  TallejTand  by  the  circumstances, 
public  and  personal,  above  glanced  at,  which  early  combined  to  develop 
his  peculiar  character.  He  was,  as  one  of  his  own  countijinea  said  of 
him,  *'  un  homme  fort  .nimable,  mais  sans  cceur,  et  un  bien  grand 
citoyen,  mais  sans  vertu ;"  and  at  the  lime  he  was  made  Bishop  of 
Autun  he  was  so  far  from  possessing  the  means  to  pay  his  debts,  tlut 
his  coachmaker,  h:iving  in  vain  repeatedly  demanded  payment  for  the 
caniage  in  which  it  then  befitted  his  dignity  to  ride,  at  last  took  an 
opportunity  of  doing  so  at  the  carriage  door  itseIC  "And  who,  my 
mend,  are  you?"  asked  M.  de  Talleyrand,  just  as  he  was  about  to 
mount  the  steps  of  Iiis  coach.  "  Monseigneur,  I  am  your  coachmaker," 
answered  the  man,  with  a  low  bow.  "Ah  I  And  what  do  you  want,  mon 
carrossier?"  *•  I  want  to  be  paid,  Monscigneur."  "Ah!  You  are  my 
coachmaker,andyouwanttobepaid;  you  shall  be  paid,  my  coachmaker." 
"And  when,  Monscigneur?"  Whereupon  Moaseigneur,  after  seating 
himself  comfort.-!  bly  in  his  new  carriage,  gazed  attentively  for  a  momentat 
his  coachmaker,  and  then  quietly  remarked,  "Vou  are  very  inquisitive." 

But  not  always  was  M.  de  Talleyrand,  the  lame  bishop,  short  of 
funds ;  for  though  as  a  gambler  he  sometimes  lost,  it  was  notorious  that 
he  frequently  won,  which  fact  being  brought  against  him  at  a  somewhat 
later  date,  *'  Stories,"  wTOte  he  to  the  editors  of  the  Chroniele,  "  stories 
have  been  circulated  of  my  having  lately  won  in  gambUng  houses  the 
sum  of  sixty  or  seventy  thousand  fraur;.  .  .  .  The  truth  is,  that  in  the 
course  of  two  months  I  g.iined  the  sum  of  about  thirty  thousand 
bancs,  not  at  gambling  houses,  but  in  private  society,  or  at  Lhc  chess-

ctub,  vhich  has  nlwnys  been  regtude^l,  from  the  nature  of  its  inslitutico, 
as  a  private  house." 

M.  de  Talleyrand,  the  "profliyatc  fine  gentleman,  the  deep  and  wary 
thinker,  the  delight  and  ornament  of  that  gay  and  graceful  .society,  wluch, 
crowned  with  lowers,  was  about  to  be  the  first  victiiu  to  its  own  philo- 
sophy," fell,  as- Sir  H.  liulwcr  observes,  into  discredit  with  the  con- 
servative court  party;  and  yet  it  was  he,  the  popular  bishop  of  the 
National  Assembly,  who,  on  the  I4lh  day  of  July,  1790,  perfonaed 
Mass  on  the  high  altar  of  the  Champ  de  Mars  at  that  first  solemn 
federal  festival,  when  the  pious  King  Louis  XVI.  swore,  with  his  hand 
outstretched  towards  tliat  attar,  to  maintain  the  Constitution  decreed  by 
the  National  Assembly,  and  accepted  by  him.  That  mighty  altar  on  the 
Champ  de  Mars  wxs  built  with  the  stones  of  the  Bastille,  stomted  by  the 
mob.  and  its  ^vemor  massaaed,  on  tlie  14th  day  of  Jul/,  in  the  year 
preceding.  , 

Talleyrand,  Bishop  of  AuLun,  "  robed  \x\  his  ponllfica]  garments  and 
standing  on  that  altar  thronged  by  three  hundred  priests,  in  long  white 
robes  and  tricolouretl  girdles,  blesses  the  great  standard,  the  Oriflainme 
of  France,  no  longer  the  ensign  of  war,  but  the  t^igti  and  token  of  peace 
between  the  pa^t  and  the  future — between  die  old  recollections  and  the 
new  aspirations  of  the  French  people." 

TallejTand,  as  further  says  his  lates:  biographer,  intoned  the  sacred 
chants  that  day,  and  choristers  innumerable  echoed  his  voice.  In 
presence  of  thousands  and  thoiLsands  of  people, — "in  sight  of  Heaven 
and  of  scarcely-breathing  earth,'* — in  full  view  of  that  Queen  once 
described  by  Burke  as  "glittering  like  the  morning  star,  full  of  life, 
and  splendour,  and  joy,"  but  who  then  in  an  ccstacy  of  maternal  appeal 
upheld  her  son,  the  Dauphin,  to  the  sight  of  Fiance— in  view,  also,  of 
that  royal  maiden  (the  I'rinccssc  Khzabcth,  sister  of  Louis  XVI.) 
described  by  Sir  H.  Bulwer  as  beauteous  with  the  charms  of  the  palace, 
Ueesed  with  the  virtues  of  the  cloister — a  princess,  a  saint,  destined  to 
be  a  martyr, — l"alleyrand.  Bishop  of  Aulun,  stood  before  the  sacred 
altar  of  the  Champ  de  Mars,  Lafayette  and  Mirabeau  both  being  pro- 
minently present  in  th^t  vast  multitude,  to  the  wondering  gaze  of  which 
he,  the  high  priest  of  the  occasion  and  the  politic  man  of  the  future, 
was  a  conspicuous  and  central  object  of  attraction. 

Talleyrand  had  in  earlier  years  been  intimately  acquainted  wiili 
Mirabeau,  and  subbcciuentlj',  whatever  former  grounds  of  hope  the  Due 
d'Oritfans  ("Egalit(J"  of  iJic  Palais  Royal)  might  have  had  that  the 
"  liberal "'  preUte  would  have  embraced  the  extreme  party  of  wliich  tliat 
prince  himself  was  a  popular  leader,  Tane)Tand  and  Mirabeau  were 
united  in  tlie  idea  of  erecting  a  constitutional  government.  But  Mirabeau 
died ;  and,  after  the  flight  of  Louis  XVL  to  Varcnncs  and  liis  forced 
return  thence  to  the  Tuileries,  the  monarchy  was  lost.  By  some  it  was 
rumoured  that  TallejTand,  who  had  been  present  at  \rirabe3u'5  death- 
bed, was  privy  to  tliai  flight ;  but,  as  says  Sir  H.  Bulwer,  I-ouis  XVI. 
was  more  likely  to  trust  a  bold  and  passionate  man  like  Mirabeau  rather 
than  a  man  like  M.  de  Talleyrand,  a  philosopher,  a  wit ;  and,  on  the 
other  hand,  M.  de  Talleyrand  himself  was  loo  cautious  to  commit  liim- 
self  boldly  and  entirely  to  the  daring  and  doubtful  schemes  which 
Mirabeau  hod  prepared  until  he  saiir  a  tolerable  chance  of  tlicir  being

successful.  •*  Other  circumsfinrx'S,  moreover,  occurred  at  this  time 
which  could  not  but  have  an  unfavourable  influence  as  lo  the  establish- 
ment of  any  serious  concert  between  the  scru|mlouB  and  mistnislful 
monarch  and  the  chcss-playtng,  constitytional  bishop.  ^\'hL•n  M.  de 
Talleyrand  refused  the  arclibbhopric  of  Paris  it  was  clear  that  he 
expected  nothing  further  from  the  church ;  and  he,  no  doubt,  from 
that  moment  conceived  the  idea  of  freeing  himself  from  its  trammels 
the  first  decent  opportunity."  Be  that  as  it  may,  a  brief  of  the  Pope 
arrived  in  Paris  towards  the  end  of  April,  1791,  whic-h  caused  aa 
announcement  in  the  Mtmittur,  of  the  JSl  of  May,  to  the  effect 
that  "De  Talleyrand  Perigord,  the  late  Bishop  of  Autun,  is  suspended 
fitxp  all  fiiQCtions  and  excommunicated  if^  after  forty  days,  he  has  noC 
repented." 

TalIe)Tand  at  once  resigned  "  the  profession  into  which  he  had  b' 
forced  lo  enter,"  and  which  no  longer  in  revoluti  011.1  ry  France  afforded 
the  chance  of  political  advancement  For  a  moment  there  seemed  a 
probability  that  he  would  now  declare  himself  a  partisan  of  tiie  Orleans 
branch  of  the  Bourbons  ;  but  though  he  had  always  had  a  "leaning* 
towards  thai  branch,  and,  albeit,  he  afterwards  defended  "  Egalite"  by 
declaring  that  "  Le  Due  d'Orlc'ans  est  Ic  \^se  dans  lequel  on  a  \iS.A 
toules  les  ordures  de  la  Rc'volution,"  he  was  well  aware  Uiat  that  prince 
would  never  consent  to  become  a  mere  pliant  tool  in  his  hand,  and  per- 
ceiving that  "the  new  legislature  would  be  a  new  world,  and  that  the 
wisest  thing  to  do  was  to  withdraw  himself  from  the  Paris  horizon  until 
the  clouds  that  obscured  it  had,  in  some  direction  or  other,  passed 
away,"  Ta]le)T[ind  started  for  London,  and  arrived  there  on  the  35th  of 
January,  1792. 

At  Lansdowne  House  the  en-Bishq)  of  Autun  was  welcome,  for  "  his 
manner  of  narradng  was  full  of  grace — he  was  a  model  of  good  taste  in 
conversation.  Indolent,  voluptuous,  bom  for  wealdi  and  grandeur,  he 
accu.<>tomcd  himself  in  exile  to  a  life  simple  and  full  of  privations,  shatioK 
with  his  friends  the  produce  of  his  magnificent  library,  which  he  sola 
very  ill,  the  spirit  of  part)'  preventing  many  from  becoming  purchasers." 
Rut  the  Fjiglish  generally,  savs  Sir  H.  Bulwer,  hardly  knew  what  to 
make  of  a  Frenchman  who  so  little  represented  the  ruitional  character  ; 
for  his  manner  was  cold,  and  his  countenance,  which,  in  early  youth  had 
been  distinguished  for  its  grace  and  delicacy,  had  become  puffed  and 
rounded,  and,  to  a  certain  degree,  effeminate,  being  in  singular  contrast 
with  a  deep  and  serious  voice  which  no  one  expected  from  such  a  phy- 
MOgnomy.  Sententious,  formal,  and  scrutinising,  he  rather  avoided  than 
made  advances,  and  was  neither  indiscreet,  nor  gay,  nor  familiar.  Lord 
Grcnville  refused  to  "discuss  business "  with  Talleyrand,  who,  though 
he  affected  a  careless  indolence  in  accordance  with  his  after  mot^  "  TV/n/ 
^e  Sf/f,  monsieur^''  went  back  to  Paris,  but  quickly  returned  with  a  letter 
from  the  K-ing,  and  "  on  the  strength  of  information  which  he  brought 
was  attached  to  tlic  mission  of  M.  de  Chauvelin  in  the  capacity 
of  counsellor."  After  the  execution  of  Louis  XVL,  however  tJanuaiy 
31,  1793),  M.  de  Chauvelin  was  advised  by  the  British  Government 
to  depart ;  and  M.  de  Talleyrand  received  an  order,  the  Alien  Bill 
betag  then  in  force,  to  quit  Kngland,  which  he  did,  and,  being  in- 
formed   that  after  the  storming  of  the  TuUeries  {August  10,   1791),

papers  had  been  found  which  might  cornpromise  him,  be  set  sail  for 
the  United  Stales. 

Back  to  Paris  Tallcjiand  came  in  1794,  and  was  then  made  a  member 
of  the  National  Institute.  In  1797  the  administntion  of  foreign  affairs 
was  confided  to  him.  From  that  time  forth  his  political  powt-r  steadily 
increased;  and  in  1802,  when  Catholic  worship  w-as  re-established  tn 
France,  a  brief  from  the  Pope  was  obtained  by  Bonaparte,  which  autho- 
rised Talleyrand's  marriage  with  Mrs.  Grant,  he  being  thus  "  restored  to 
a  secular  and  lay  life." 

Of  Talleyrand's  wife,  Napoleon  said,  in  after  years  : — "  She  was  a 
Tcry  fine  woman,  English  or  East  Indian  ;  but  sotle  and  grossly  ignorant 
I  forbade  her  the  Court,  because  she  was  a  disreputable  character,  and 
because  I  found  out  that  some  Genoese  merchants  had  paid  her 
400,000  francs,  in  hopes  of  gaining  some  coimncrcial  lavours  by  means 
of  her  husband  .  .  .  Talleyrand,  who  was  a  great  speculator,  invited 
Dcnon  to  dinner.  When  he  went  home  to  his  wife,  he  said, '  Ma  ch^e, 
I  have  invited  Denon  to  dine.  He  is  a  great  travcHec,  and  you  must 
say  something  Handsome  to  him  about  his  travels,  as  he  may  be  usefiU 
to  us  with  the  F.mperor.'  Madame  dc  Talleyrand,  being  extremely 
ignorant,  and  probably  never  having  read  any  other  book  of  travels 
than  that  of  Robinson  Crusoe,  concluded  that  Denon  could  be  nobody 
else  llian  Robinson.  >\'ishing  to  be  very  civil  to  him,  she,  before  a 
large  company,  asked  him  divers  (juestions  about  his  Man  Friday. 
D«)oti,  astonished,  at  length  discovered  that  she  really  imagined  liim  to 
be  Robinson  Crusoe.  The  story  flew  like  wildfire  through  Paris,  and 
evtn  Talleyrand  himself  was  ashamed  of  it."'  At  St.  Helena,  Napoleon 
forthermoa:  sjiokc  of  Tallc>Tand  as  "a  priest  united  to  another  man's 
wife,  ami  who  has  [»aid  her  husband  a  large  sum  of  money  to  leave  her 
witli  htm ; "  an<l  in  this  speech,  some  answer  may  be  found  lo  the 
following  j>as.sagc  contained  in  the  recent  ly-publLshed  *'  Reminiscences 
of  a  Septuagenarian,"*  in  which  the  author  speaks  of  Madame  dc 
Talleyrand  as  one  "  whose  antecedents  would  not  bear  %-ery  close 
inquiry  ;"  and  then  adds,  "  where  Prince  T.alk7raiid  fell  in  with  her,  I 
nwcr  hcani ;  but  she  must  have  been  very  lundsome.  She  was  also 
very  ally,  so  silly  that  Napoleon  asked  Prince  'J'alleyrand  how  be  could 
many  her,  to  whitih  he  replied :  '  Ma  foi,  sire,  jc  n'ai  pu  trouver  une 
plus  btte.*  With  her  his  mind  was  in  complete  repose.  When  I  saw 
her  she  still  showctl  remains  of  beauty,  and  was  a  cjuiet-mannered,  re- 
spectable-looking/rf/i'^/z^tmiw/."  From  Talleyrand  himself,  the  Englisli 
lady,  whose  recolkcrions  of  his  wife  have  just  been  cited,  felt  herself 
recoil,  although  she  confesses  that  his  "person  and  face  in  some  respects 
did  htm  injustice,  for  the  bad  qualities  were  evident ;  but  his  half-closed 
eyes  and  heavy  countennnce  gave  no  indication  of  hLs  talents  and 
his  wit." 

From  this  it  may  be  inferred  that  Talleyrand,  "  with  mitred  head  and 
cloven  heel,"  had,  during  the  Consulate  and  the  Empire,  degenerated  in 
his  outer  man  from  what  he  was  in  former  days  at  (.ansdowne  House,

to  quote  loo  accurately  : —

Bat  M.  le  Prince  (Talleyrand)  amassed  an  immense  fortune  during  the' 
Empire.  "  C'est  un  coquin,  un  hommc  coirompu,  mats  hommc  d'es- 
prit,"  afterwards  declared  Napoleon  to  his  medical  attendant,  O'Meaia; 
at  St.  Helena ;  and  then  added  : — "  After  the  marriage  of  Prini  ' 
Eugine.  1  was  obliged  to  turn  Talleyrand  out  or  office,  on  account 
complaints  made  against  him  by  the  Kings  of  Bavaria  and  Wiiriembe 
Nothing  vras  to  be  got,  no  treaty  to  be  made,  no  arrangement  for  coi 
merce,  without  first  having  bribed  him.  There  were  some  com 
treaties  on  foot  at  the  time,  to  conclude  which  lie  detnaDded  enoi 
sums." 

Upon  a  much  more  respectable  footing  does  Sir  H.  Bulwer  place 
Talleyrand's  after  condua  with  regard  to  Kapoleon,  and  asserts  itiai 
when  tlie  Kmperor,  In  1813,  offered  the  portfolio  of  foreign  affairs  to  his 
ancient  minister,  but  on  condition  that  he  should  lay  down  the  rank  and 
emoluments  of  Vice-Grand  Elector,  Talleyrand  with  dignity  refused 
condition]  saying  :  "  If  tlie  Emperor  trust  me,  he  should  not  degrade  me 
and  if  he  does  not  trust  me,  he  should  not  employ  me.  The  tiraesare  too 
difficult  for  half  measures."  In  an  after  page  Sir  H.  Butnvr  adds : — 
"  But  Uiough  at  the  head  of  a  considerable  party  which  were  dissatisfied, 
M.  de  Talleyrand  did  little  mote  than  watch  Uie  proceedings  of  iSr^, 
and  endeavour  to  make  the  fall  of  Napoleon,  should  it  take  place,  as 
little  injurious  to  France  as  possible."  And  again  ; — "  M.  dc  Talleyrand 
saw,  nevertheless  that  a  new  chief  must,  as  a  matter  of  course,  be  giveo 
to  France.  .  .  .  Still,  his  communications  widi  the  Bourbons  were»  I 
believe,  indirect." 

It  is  curious  to  compare  the  opinion  of  Sir  H.  Bulwer  with  the  state- 
ment of  Madame  riu  Cayla,  the  celebrated  political  intri^ntt,  who, 
intimately  acquainted  with  TallcjTand,  was  such  an  active  agent  in 
bringing  about  the  Bourbon  Restoration,  that  when  that  e\"ent  was 
finally  accomplished,  Louis  XVIIT.,  first  visited  by  her  at  Harwell,  and 
whose  confidante  she  was  until  the  end  of  his  life,  openly  rewarded  her 
political  services  by  the  riile  of  St  Ouen.  By  birth  this  celebrated  and 
beautiful  woman  was  a  Royalist,  but  by  marriage  she  was  supposed  to 
have  become  an  Imperialist;  and  in  her  *' M^moires,"  published  in 
Paris,  1899,  .she  says,  speaking  of  Royalist  conspirators  at  the  court  of 
Napoleon,  after  his  marriage  with  Marie  Louise : — *'  Amongst  the

the  fact  *to  himself.  Haled  .ind  suspected  by  Napoleon,  detested  by 
courtiers  in  favour,  in  hid  odour  with  the  Ouc  de  Rovigo,  who  always 
kept  a  watchful  eye  on  him,  he  was  surrounded  by  a  thousand  dangers, 
M-hich  he  avoided  with  his  its«.il  dexterity.     M.  de  Talleyrand  was  bom 

for  Inlriguc,  and  he  lias  not  missed  his  vocAtion He  is  the  most 

witty  and  amiable  egotist  in  tlie  world.  In  the  midst  of  the  rapid  evolu- 
tions of  his  policy,  he  has  laboured  with  admirable  consistency  in  behalf 
of  his  own  personal  fortune ;  and  not  a  change  has  occurred  in  the 
destiny  of  France  without  augmenting  the  power  and  the  credit  of  the 
ancient  Bishop  of  Autun.'  This  fact  was  perhaps  best  summed  up  by 
Talleyrand  himself,  when  he  spoke  a  word  of  warning  and  of  truth  to 
I^uis  XV'HI.,  on  the  airi^'al  of  that  long-exiled  monarch  at  Compibgnc, 
preceding  the  royal  entry  into  Paris.  "  How,"  asked  the  King,  "  have 
you  contrived  first  to  overturn  the  Directory,  and  now  Bonaparte?" 
"  Really,  sire,"  answered  TallejTand,  "  it  was  no  doing  of  mine.  There 
is  something  inexplicable  about  mc,  which  brings  ill-luck  on  the  Govern- 
ments that  neglect  me." 

Years  iKfore,  when  TallejTand  had  insinuated  himself  into  the  con- 
fidence of  the  Directory,  and,  as  Minister  of  Foreign  Affairs,  had 
constant  communication  with  Doiuiparte,  he  desired  the  presence  of  the 
latter  at  a  Jfle  to  celebrate  the  anniversary  of  the  execution  of 
I^uis  XVI.  The  then  future  Emperor  of  the  French  declined  to 
attend  ihai/tft*,  on  the  ground  that  "  celebrating  the  death  of  a  man 
was  not  the  policy  of  a  government,  but  that  of  a  faction."  I!ul,  in 
1814,  when  Napoleon  w-as  exiled  to  Klba,  Taltcyrand  was  foremost  in 
the  reception  of  Ihe  Bourbons,  and  it  was  to  his  splendid  hotel,  in  the 
Kue  SU  florentin.  that  he  welcomed  the  Emperor  Alexander,  one  of 
the  allies  who  had  helped  to  achieve  their  return  to  France,  and  there 
did  the  K-ussiun  potentate  hold,  "under  the  auspices  of  his  host,  a  sort 
of  meeting  or  council  which  determined  the  destiny  of  France."* 

There,  also,  was  the  met  concocted  which  quickly  helped  to  make  the 
Comte  d'.Artois  (afterwards  Charles  X.)  popular  on  his  return  to  France 
— "  One  Frenchman  more-"  In  the  Meniftur,  the  prince  was  reported 
to  liave  said  that  which  he  never  did  say,  but  Talleyrand  had  predicted 
that  in  two  days  the  Comte  d'ArtoJs  would  persuade  himself  of  having 
given  utterance  to  any  sort  of  speech,  were  it  only  that  which  he  ought 
to  have  uttered,  and  his  prediction  was  verified  when  the  heart  of  Paris 
responded  to  the  supposed  royat  words :  "  No  more  discord ;  Peace 
ajid  France ;  at  last  I  revisit  ray  native  land  ;  nothing  is  changed  except 
it  be  that  there  is  one  Frenchman  more." 

Not  many  years  afterwards,  Napoleon,  at  St.  Helena,  when  discussing 
news  from  France,  had  occasion  to  say  ;  "  The  Bourbons  have  done  right

jnit)',  if  he  saw  that  tlicie  was  any  probabilitj'  of  success,  as  he  had 

^Vffered  to  do  after  my  return  from  Klba." 

Upon  this  point  Sir  Henry  Bulwersays: — "Louis  XVIII.  rewarded 
Talleyrand's  retirement  with  ati  annual  pension  of  100,000  francs,  and 
the  high  <;ourt  <-.h;iige  of  Great  Claniberlain,  in  fuUilting  the  functions  of

king's  chair  un  all  state  occasions,  notwithstanaiog  the  cold  looks  of 
the  sovereign  and  the  sagacious  sneers  of  the  courtiers.  TallejTand 
had  a  decided  enemy  in  M.  de  Blacas,  the  favourite  of  Louis  XVIIL, 

'"his  Majesty's  best  friend  during  his  long  exile,  but  his  worst  ministerial 
ftdriser  after  his  return  to  Prance.     Before  Na[«>leon's  escape  ft 

[Elba,  Talleyrand  had  gone  to  Vienna,  and,  as  Sir  H.  Bulwer  ably  tcV 
contrived  to  ra:ike  a  separate  treaty  wiUi  Austria  and  Great  Brilaia 

'■after  which  he  repaireil  to  Carlsbad,  observing  that  "a  diplomatist's  fi 

''duty  after  a  congress  was  to  take  care  of  his  liver."  In  a  most  uncertain 
state  indeed  was  M.  de  Talleyrand's  liver  during  the  Hundred  Days  of 

'Napoleon's  return  to  France,  and  the  retirement  of  Louis  XVIH.  to 
<)heut ;  and  when  he  wailed  on  his  Majesty  there  the  day  afier  the 
battle  of  Wnterloo  his  disgrace  was  determined  on;  seeing  which  he 
asked  the  royal  permission  to  continue  his  cure  at  Carlsbad,  to  which 
request  bis  Majesty  replied:  "Certainly,  M.  de  Talleyrand;  I  hear 
those  waters  are  excellent" 

The  restored  Bourbons  never  liked  Talleyrand,  for  they  suspected 
that  to  his  advice  the  execution  of  their  kinsman,  the  Due  d'Enghicn,' 

'■'"wns  attribuLible.  But  con[:cniinE  that  e\-ent,  the  wily  diplomatist  had 
cynically  said  :  "  It  was  worse  than  a  crime,  it  was  a  fault,"  and  Sir

who  since  17S9,  had  home  and  followed  so  many  banners  !  In  truth 
he  did  this  lime  carry  that  OJ'  the  F/eur  de  Lys  to  the  tomb." 

TJut  though  Talleyrand  assisted  in  burj-ing  the  last  of  the  Bourbon 
kings  jwnnittcd  to  sleep  his  last  sleep  at  St  Denis,  ambitioQ  was  by  no 
means  then  extinct  in  his  own  breast,  and  the  Revolution  of  July,  1830, 
by  which  Charles  X.  was  compelled  to  abdicate,  again  Iwought  Inm  for- 
ward on  the  stage  of  public  life.  On  the  third  day  of  that  Revolution, 
and  when  Charles  X.  was  known  to  have  fled  from  St.  Cloud,  Talley- 
tand  summoned  his  private  secretary,  and,  according  to  Sir  11.  Bulwer, 
said  :  "Go  for  me  to  Ncuilly,  get  by  some  means  to  Madame  Adelaide", 
(aster  of  Louis  Philippe,  IJuo  d'Ork'ans),  "give  her  this  piece  of 
paper,  and  when  she  has  read  il,  either  see  it  burnt  or  bring  it  back  to 
me."  (On  the  paper  was  merely  wriltcn — "Madame  peut  avoir  toute 
con&ance  dans  le  porteur,  qui  est  mon  sccr(?taire.")  "  When  madamc 
has  read  this,  tell  her  there  is  not  a  moment  to  lose.  The  Due 
d'Orli^s  must  be  here  tomorrow.  .  .  .  '  Le  resle  viendra.'  " 

And  when  Louis  PhiUppe,  son  of  "  LgJilitt-,"  the  companion  of  Talley- 
rand's youth,  was  proclaimed  King  of  tlie  Frencli,  Talleyrand  accepted 
the  Eniha^^y  to  Loudon.  His  celebrated  and  intellectual  niece,  the 
Ducliesse  de  Dinu  (wife  of  a  nephew  of  I'rincc  dc  Talleyrand,  and 
daughter  of  the  Duchcbse  dc  CuurUnde),  H'as  at  this  period  of  his  life 
his  companion  and  poUtical  confidante.  To  some  persons,  in  Pam  or 
elsewhere,  remembering  the  long  since-vanished  Madame  dc  Tallc)Tand 
of  past  times,  an  extraordinar)'  contrast  did  the  brilliant  Duchesse 
de  Dino  present  to  that  lady  of  Rubinson  Crusoe  notoriety. 

Revetting  again  for  a  moment  to  M.  dc  TaUcyrund's  mission  in 
England,  Sir  H.  Rulwcr  says:  "Lord  Palmcrston  told  me  that  his 
manner  in  diplomatic  conferences  was  remarkable  for  its  extreme  ab- 
sence of  pretension,  without  any  derogation  of  authority.  He  sat,  for 
the  most  part,  quiet  as  if  approving ;  .sometimes,  however,  stating  his 
opinion,  but  never  arguing  or  dbcussing.  .  .  .  .  *  I  at;guc  before  a 
public  assembly,'  he  used  to  say,  '  not  because  I  hope  to  convince  any- 
one there,  but  because  I  wish  my  opinions  to  be  known  to  the  world." " 

After  leaving  England,  Talleyrand  "passed  the  remainder  of  his 
days  in  die  enjoj-ment  of  the  highest  situation,  and  the  mo&t  agreeable 
and  culti\'ated  society  that  his  country  could  afford."*  "  La  France 
avant  tout,"  was  a  well-known  phrase  of  his.  Willi  fortitude  he  en- 
dured an  operation  for  a  painful  disease,  which  at  last  proved  fatal  to 
him. 

Talleyrand  survived  until  the  i7lh  of  May,  1838,  and  from  an 
account  of  his  last  moments  given  to  Sir  Henry  Lylton  Bulwer  by  an 
individual  present  at  them,  it  seems  that  the  veteran  I'rcnch  statesman 
died  in  peace  with  the  Church,  "  a-s  a  favour  that  could  do  him  no  harm, 
and  was  agreeable  to  those  about  him."!     I^uU  Philippe,  accompanied

by  his  sister,  ^■Iadame  Adelaide,  visited  TallejTand  in  his  last  houn. 
**I  am  Sony,  prince,"  said  the  Ling,  in  a  tone  of  great  kindness  and 
tearful  emotion,  **  to  see  you  so  suffering."  Talleyrand's  voice,  still 
peculiarly  powerful,  answered:  "Sire,  you  have  corac  to  witness  the 
sufierings  of  a  dying  man ;  and  those  wJio  lo\x  him  most  can  have 
but  one  wish,  that  of  seeing  them  sliorlly  at  an  end."  Tlie  king  and 
his  sister  soon  took  their  departure,  but  statesmen,  brave  soldiers,  and 
beautiful  women,  still  thronged  the  ante-room  and  lingered  in  the  salons 
of  Talleyrand's  house,  eager  to  hear  the  latest  accounts  which  his 
medical  attendant,  Dr.  C,  nad  to  give  of  him. 

In  tl\e  words  of  one  present,  *'  'J'lie  flower  of  the  society  of  Paris  was 
there  .  .  .  and  low  pleasant  whispers  formed  a  sad  contrast  to  the 
dying  groans  of  the  neighbouring  sufferer.  .  .  .  Few  were  admitted  to 
his  chamber,  but  the  adjoining  room  was  crowded.  .  .  .  Presently  there 
was  a  solemn  pause,  and  every  eye  turned  towanls  the  slowly  opening 
door  of  the  prince's  chamber.  ...  A  domestic  entered,  with  downcast 
looks  and  swollen  eyes.  .  .  .  There  was  an  instantineous  rush  to  the 
door  of  the  apartment  within  which  M,  de  Talleyrand  was  seated  on 
the  side  of  his  bed,  supported  in  the  arms  of  his  sccrctar>*.  It  was 
evident  that  death  had  set  its  seal  upon  that  marble  brow,"  but  "it 
seemed  as  if  all  the  life  which  had  once  sufficed  to  furnish  the  whole 
being  was  now  contained  in  the  brain.  From  time  to  lime  he  raised  up 
his  head,  throwing  back  with  a  sudden  movement  the  long  grey  locks 
which  impeded  his  sight,  and  gazed  around ;  and  then,  as  if  satisfied 
with  the  result  of  his  examination,  a  smile  would  pass  across  his  features, 
and  hia  head  would  again  fall  upon  his  bosom.  He  saw  death  approach 
neither  with  fear  nor  defiance." 

In  summing  up  the  chief  political  events  of  Talleyrand's  life,  Sir  H. 
Bulwersays:  "His  great  good  fortune  was  to  have  been  absent  from 
Krance  during  the  horrors  of  the  Committee  of  Public  Safety ;  his 
great  cnerit,  to  have  served  governments  when  in  serving  them  he  served 
the  public  interests.  HLs  great  calamity  was  to  have  been  minister  of 
foreign  affairs  at  the  moment  of  the  execution  of  the  Due  d'Enghien. 
.  .  .  His  great  defect,  a  love  of  money,  or  rather  a  want  of  scruple  as 
to  how  he  obtained  it" 

Upon  this  point  it  is  reported  that  during  his  last  mission  to  London, 
when  Talleyrand  called  in  Downing  Street,  and  ihere  received  any 
information  that  could  be  made  of  personal  profit  to  him,  he  would 
pencil  a  line  on  a  slip  of  paper,  and  send  it  down  to  his  carriage  in 
which  some  confidential  agent  was  scaled,  ready  to  rush  otT  (o  the  city 
should  occasion  require ;  and  that  upon  one  of  these  slips  of  paper  a 
solitary  but  significant  word  was  inscribed,  "  Vmiiest" 

It  is  now  a  matter  of  general  notoriety  Lhac  when  Napoleon  asked 
Talleyrand  how  he  obtained  his  great  wealth,  the  answer  was,  "1  bought 
stock  before  the  iSth  Brumaire,  and  sold  it  the  day  afterwards."  When 
there  was  no  longer  any  political  danger  in  the  assertion,  Talleyrand 
confirmed  a  report  in  former  times  denied  by  him,  that  in  days  long 

i-dol,  ox  Sir  11.  Bulwer  n^n,  of  Tjltcyntml  in  hi*  aid  Age,  who  indncecl  him  to  make

rc;jroach  of  having  betrayed  Napoleon :  if  he  abandonetl  him,  it  was 
when  he  discovered  that  he  could  no  longer  blend,  as  he  had  up  to  that 
time  done,  France  and  the  Emperor  in  tlie  same  affecdon.  This  was 
net  ■U'it/ufui  a  lively  feeling  of  ufrrtm-,  for  he  owed  to  Napoieon  nearly  aU 
his  fartunc.  He  enjoins  hii  lifirs  never  to  forget  these  obligatiens  ,  .  .  so 
that  if  some  day  a  man  of  the  name  of  Bonaparte  should  ke  found  in  xvant 
ef  assistance,  he  should  always  find  it  in  the  family  of  Taileyrand" 

The  imperturbabihty  ofralleyrani!  was,  on  some  occasions,  notoriously 
irritating  to  Napoleon,  although  the  former  doubtless  owed  much  of  his 
power  to  the  cool  command  he  exercised  over  his  own  temper  ;  in  proof 
of  which  cool  command  the  reader  is  here  reminded  how  when  Talley- 
rand WX1  knocked  down  by  an  intentional  blow,  which  he  did  not  care 
to  resent,  he  exclaimed,  "Quel  terrible  coup  de  poing  I"  thereby  con- 
veying to  French  cars  not  the  idea  of  a  dishonouring  insult,  which  the 
more  simple  word  saufflet  would  have  suggested,  but  the  notion  of  a  low 
brutal  act  beneath  his  notice  as  a  prince  and  a  gentleman.  It  was  the 
Marquis  d'Orvault  (ihcn  M.  dc  Maubreuil)  who  inflicted  that  eoup  de 
foing;  and,  more  than  eighty  years  of  age,  he  still  survives  in  Paris 
(albeit  not  as  a  venerable  Mentor  to  society),  and  is  there  said  to  be 
about  to  publish  his  "  M^moires."  At  Vaien^ay,  in  the  Chapel  of  the 
&t»s  of  St.  Andrii,  founded  by  himself,  and  in  which  he  had  already 
placed  the  family  vault,  M.  de  Talleyrand  was  buried. 

His  career  and  character,  as  Sir  Henry  Lytton  Bulwcr  justly  observes, 
were  coloured  by  their  times,  and  must  be  regarded  in  connection  with 
an  epoch  of  social  immorality  and  constant  pohtical  change.  "It  must, 
however,  be  confessed  that  there  is  something  to  an  honest  nature  dis- 
pleasing in  the  history  of  a  statesman  who  appeared  as  the  champion  of 
each  cause  at  the  moment  of  its  triumph.  Keason  may  excuse,  explain, 
or  defend  such  versatility,  but  no  generous  sympathy  calls  upon  us  to 
applaud  or  recommend  it.  .  ,  .  'En&u.chej  M.  dc  Talleyrand,  I'amifniti 
et  la  raison  remplaqaicnt  le  coeur,  et  In.  conscience.'" 

Amidst  the  almost  regal  splendour  of  his  home  he  manifested  much 
courtesy— the  courtesy  of  the  an(ief\  regime  of  France.  Madame  de 
Genlis,  referring  to  Talleyrand's  private  life,  gives  many  pleasing  instances, 
in  her  "  Mi^moires,"  of  his  urbane  consideration  with  regard  lo  herself, 
when,  impoverished  by  the  Revolution,  she  returned  from  long  exile  to 
Paris,  and  in  her  old  age  was  resident  there.  In  acts  of  friendship  he 
seems  sometimes  to  have  forgotten  his  favourite  maxim,  *' Abo%'e  all 
things,  no  zeal !"  Of  his  conduct  as  "The  Politic  Man,"  perhaps  the 
masi  charitably  expressed,  albeit  none  the  less  sarcastic  view,  was  Pozzo 
di  Eorgo's,  "  Tliat  man  has  made  himself  great  by  always  ranging  him- 
self on  the  side  of  ies  fetiis,  and  by  hc]]iing  those  who  stood  in  need  of 
his  assistance." 

But,  let  Talleyrand's  diplomacy  be  regarded  from  what  point  it  may, 
no  biographer  of  his  can  do  better  than  follow  his  example,  when  on 
one  occasion  in  the  Chamber  of  Peers,  he  said  : — *'  1  pray  you  to  obsen^e 
that  I  neither  censure  nor  approve  :  I  simply  relate."

PHOTOGRAPHY   IN    PIGMENTS.* 

JRITING  twelve  months  ago  upon  the  applicatioD  of  photo- 
gra{>by  to  book-illustration,  we  weie  led  to  offer  some 
renmtkii  upon  the  pennanency,  or,  perhaps,  we  should  »y, 
the  non-permanency,  of  photographs.  Our  language  was 
not  hopeful ;  the  best  prospects  we  could  hold  out  for  the 
dunUiility  of  the  beautiful  works  of  the  camera  depended  upon  th« 
fulglmcnt  of  coadiiions  which  could  not  be  guaranteed  by  any  cort- 
scientious  ]jbotogiaj)lier.  The  lading  pro^iensity  has  become  so  evident 
to  i>ossesbors  of  photogiaplis,  who  ha^e  seen  tlieir  treasured  collections 
day  by  day  becoming  artistically  and  histoiicaliy  worthless,  thax  they 
ha^-e  lost  (aitfa  in  the  sun  as  a  limner  and  in  picture-lakers  as  honest 
men.  This  loiis  of  confidence  has  done  its  work  in  bringing  about  the 
depression  that  at  present  exists  in  the  coramerdal  position  of  photo- 
graphy. To  redeem  their  art,  the  photographers  have  used  every 
endeavour  to  find  means  of  preserving  tlicir  productions.  Ttie  latest  w 
these  are  based  upon  the  assumption  that  the  decomposing  action  of  the 
atmosphere  is  tlie  true  cause  of  fading,  and  therefore  varnishes  and 
impervious  films  have  been  applied  to  protect  the  tiuterial  of  the  picture; 
one  photograjtliiT  progioses  to  coat  the  paper  back  ami  front  with 
collodion  ;  another  to  apply  a  solution  of  lac  ;  and  a  third  to  cover  the 
print  with  imniffine.  But  if  the  germ  of  destruction  be  in  the  print 
itself,  if  the  darkened  silver  of  which  it  is  compDSC<l  is  unstable,  as 
some  chemists  maintain,  then  none  of  these  prcscr\-aiivc  procc«cs  will 
avail,  and  all  photographs  produced  by  the  sails  of  silver  must  sooner  or 
later  fade. 

The  instability  of  silver  prints  having  grown  year  by  year  more 
manifest,  and  the  hopes  of  overcoming  that  instability  having  simul- 
taneously become  (ainter,  the  importance  attaching  to  the  various  pro- 
cesses  for  obtaining  photographs  in  pigments  has  proportionately 
increased.  Great  attention  has  been  bestowed  upon  the  perfection  of 
the  method  of  printing  in  carbon,  and  great  success  has  followed.  I'O' 
such  a  point  has  it  now  reached,  that  we  may  confidently  assert  that  the 
day^  of  silver  printed  phologiaplis  have  passed  away,  and  tliat  the 
future  of  photography  lies  in  carbon  printing- 

A  carbon  photograph  is,  strictly  speakiug,  an  image  in  carbon  pro- 
duced by  the  action  of  lighL  As  is  well  known,  coibon  is  one  of 
tlie  most  stable  of  pigments,  forming  the  base  of  all  black  paints  and 
printing  inks.  But  the  term  carbon  print,  as  aitpLed  by  photographers, 
has  a  wider  signification;  for  it  includes  any  sun  picture  whereof  the 
colouring  matter  is  a  permanent  pigment,  such  as  is  used  by  the  painter 
or  draughtsman :  it  may  be  in  indian-ink,  m  sepia,  in  indigo,  m  ver- 
milion, in  black  lead,  m  chalk,  or  any  other  substance,  and  of  any 
colour.  The  piincii)le  upon  which  the  production  of  sucli  pictures 
depends  is  the  same  as  that  which  forms  the  basis  of  the  photo-

engraving  and  photo-liihographic  processes  alludeil  to  in  these  pages  a 
,]rear  ago.  Certain  bodies  solulile  \\\  water  arc  rendered  insoluble  by 
isure  to  tight  A  mixture  is  made  of  gelatine  and  a  chromic  salt ; 
carbon,  or  any  other  |)igraent,  is  added,  ajtd  paper  is  coated  with  the 
solution.  Upon  exposure  to  light  the  gelatine  becomes  converted  into 
an  insoluble  parclimcnt-like  substance,  which  imprisons  the  colouring 
matter,  so  that  no  after-washing  irill  remove  it.  If  the  paper  be 
exposed  under  a  photographic  negative  and  afterwards  washed,  the 
exposed  portions,  correspnndiTig  to  the  shadows,  remain  intact,  while 
the  lights,  not  having  been  parchmcntizcd  by  the  solar  rays,  are  washed 
away.  Thus,  a  picture  is  produced  in  which  the  shadows  arc  carbon 
I  And  the  b'ghts  clean  paper. 

If  it  be  Askcd  whether  this  is  a  novel  procesSj  we  must  answer  no. 

'  The  germ  of  it  was  laid  by  Niepcc  fifty  years  ago.    Mr.  Mungo  Ponton 

\  advanced  it  by  his  discovery,  announced  in  1839,  of  the  action  of  light 

i  upon  bichromate  of  potash.     Beequerel  soon  afterwards  contributed  bis 

[';sbare  of  labour  towards  its  development,  by  investigating  the  action  of 

/chronuc  salts  upon  organic  substances  under  the  influence  of  light^ 

Twelve  years  ago  the  first  fruits  of  these  and  other  labours  were  reaped 

by  M.  Poitcvin,  who,  in  1855,  produced  the  first  carbon  prints  by  a 

jffocess  which  wa.s  patcnte*!  in  France  and  in  tliis  country.     Poitcvin's 

^•Snethod  was  slightly  raodificd  by  M.  Tcstud  de  Beauregard  in  France^' 

and  by  Mr.  Thomas  Sutton  in  England,  or  to  speak  correctly,  in  Jersey. 

In  1858,  Mr.   Pouncy,  of  Dorchester,  exhibited  at  a  meeting  of  the 

k-lx)ndon  Photographic  Society  the  earliest  carbon  photographs  produced] 

"in  this  country;  but  he  declined  to  make  known  the  method  by  which' 

they  were  obtained.     Great  stir  was  made  in  the  photographic  journals 

and  at  die  societies  by  the  rumours  of  his  process,  and  a  suhscriplion 

was  proposed  to  purchase  the  secret.     So  far  as  we  remember,  nothing 

came  of  this  i>ro|>osal.  Mcinwhile  a  pro%'isional  specification  was  lodged 

,  Jt  the  Patent  Office,  but  the  patent  was  not  completed.     The  necessary 

publication  this  involved  broke  the  secrecy  Mr.  Pouncy  had  maintaineA 

His   method    was   thus    rccite<l    in    Ihc    specification: — "I  coat   the 

_  sper  or  surface  which  is  to  receive  the  picture  with  a  composition  of 

^Tcgctablc  carbon,  gum  arabic,  and  bichromntc  of  potash,  and  on  10  this 

prepared  surface  I  place  the  negative  picture,  and  expose  It  to  light  in 

the  usual  way.     Afterwards  the  surface  is  washed  with  water,  which 

dissolves  the  composition  at  the  parts  on  which  the  light  has  not  acted, 

but  fails  to  affect  those  parts  on  which  the  light  has  acted  ;  consequently, 

on  those  parts  of  the  burface  the  colouring  matter  remains  in  the  state 

in    which    it  was  applied,  having  experienced    no    chemical   cliange. 

Sometimes,  for  the  vegetable  carbon,  I  substitute  bitumen ;  or  other 

colouring   matter  may   be   employed.       By  this  process   pictures  arc 

obtained  which  arc   not   liable  to    fade  like   ordinary  photographs." 

Torking  details  by-and-by  came  to  be  published,  and  many  amateurs 

fand  professional  photographers  tried  the  method,  but  gave  it  up  because 

"le  resulting  pictures  were  so  crude  and  devoid  of  h:df-toncB. 

More  changes  were  ning  upon  the  fundamental  principle  of  pigment 

Srinting  in  the  years  that  followed  ;  but  in  each  and  all  of  those  the  old 
efcct  remained :  gradations  of  tint  couUl  not  be  realised.     Ordinary

that  ootsbone  the  efforts  of  th«  painter ;  and  neither  photographer  nor 
public  urcre  prepared  to  relinquish  a  jot  of  the  delicacy  to  which  they 
had  become  accustomed.  But  the  carbon  prints  had  sooty  shadows 
and  chalky  lights,  and  nothing  between.  For  a  while  this  condition  of 
things  seemed  inevitable,  and  the  process  was  deemed  unpromising. 
The  cause  of  the  evil,  however,  dawned  upon  cxjierimeniers,  and  then 
came  the  cure ;  and  the  cure  brought  about  the  [icrfcction  of  photo- 
graphy in  carbon  or  i>igmente.  It  is  ca.'iy  to  see  that  when  the  suHace 
of  a  film  of  bichromaied  gdattne  is  exposed  to  light,  all  iKirtioo-s  upon 
which  the  light  acts,  whether  through  the  halftones  or  the  shadows  of  a 
negatire,  are  rendered  insoluble  at  that  surfare,  the  only  difTcrcncc 
bene  that  the  light  penetrates  deeper  in  the  shadows,  and  therefore 
pro£ces  a  thicker  layer  of  insoluble  matter.  Now,  when  an  exposed 
print  is  placed  in  the  water  that  is  to  dissolve  away  ihe  undeconiposed 
port  of  the  film,  or  the  tights,  the  solvent  penetrates  laterally  underneath 
the  thin  insoluble  film  which  forms  the  half-tones,  undermines  it, 
destro\-s  its  conuct  with  the  paper,  and  washes  it  away.  The  remedy 
is  ob%TOUs!y  to  wash  the  film  from  the  other  side,  to  stick  it  down  upon 
a  supporting  surface,  and  dissolve  the  undecomposed  gelatine  from  the 
back.  We  say  that  this  remedy  is  obvious ;  it  is  so  now,  but  it  was 
long  before  it  was  rec<^niscd  and  put  in  practice.  It  grew  into  rec(^i- 
tion  by  a  slow  proeess  of  de\-cIopmenL  It  is  not  necessary  that  we 
should  here  trace  the  steps  of  its  growth :  let  it  suffice  to  say  that  it  was 
fully  ripened  and  practically  perfected  by  Mr.  Swan  of  Newcastle,  who 
introduced  a  prepared  film,  or  as  he  technically  teimcd  it  a  tissue^  which 
permitted  exposure  on  one  side,  and  washing  away  on  the  other.  "  This 
step,"  says  Mr.  Simpson,  "together  with  the  complete  system  of  operations 
connected  with  its  [the  tissue's]  use,  made  carbon  printing  practicable 
as  a  useful  art"  In  the  two  or  three  years  that  have  elapsed  since  Mr. 
Swan  first  published  his  metliod  very  many  pholographers  have  worked 
it.  and  have  in  most  cases  produced  results  comparable  with  the  finest 
photographs,  and  leaving  nothing  for  the  most  fastidious  to  desire. 

For  the  satis^tction  of  those  who  like  full  information,  we  give  a  very 
brief  summary  of  the  process  as  it  is  now  being  e.Mensively  worked  at 
tlie  lactury  of  Messrs.  \[aw»on  &  Swan  in  Newcastle,  and  at  the  eala* 
bli^hment  of  M.  Braun  in  Pomach,  where  about  500  prints  are  daily 
pro*!uccd,  and  where  arrnngemcnts  .nre  pending  for  trebling  this  number. 

The  tissue  is  prepared  by  mixing  gelatine,  slightly  temiiered  with 
sugar,  with  the  finely-ground  pigment  in  which  the  picture  is  to  be 
formed,  and  coating  paper  uniformly  with  this  mixwre  in  a  hot  or  liquid 
state.  Mr.  Swan  prepares  this  commercially  on  a  large  scale,  by 
specially  arrangefl  machincT)*,  and  in  various  colours— indian-ink,  sepJ^ 
and  a  purjile- brown,  like  the  genemlity  of  photccraphs.  To  render  the- 
film  sensitive  to  light  it  is  immersed  fori  time  in  a  solution  of  bichro- 
mate of  potash,  and  dried  in  a  dark  room.  Tlien  it  is  ready  for  ex- 
posure under  the  negative,  and  this  is  a  critical  part  of  the  procesii;  for 
as  there  is  nothing  but  a  sheet  of  black  paper  upon  which  the  light 
makes  no  visible  impression,  the  proper  exposure  ha«  to  be  ascertained 
by  a  roundabout  method,  which  has,  however,  been  so  far  reduced  to  a 
formula  by  the  invention  of  a  simple  actinometcr,  that  no  great  difficul- 
ties arise.    When  the  print  is  taken  from  the  negative,  its  gelatine  &ce

is  fasteaed  firmly  down  upOD  paper  coated  with  a  solution  of  tnclia 
nibbcr,  heavy  pressure  being  employed  to  ensure  perfect  adhesion  in 
ercry  part,  and  the  operator  commences  the  work  of  development  The 
cemented  hhects  of  paper  between  which  the  film  of  gelatine  lies  buried, 
arc  soaked  in  water,  first  cold  ihcri  wami.  The  indLi  rubber  paper 
forming  a  waterproof  protection,  preserves  the  exposed  side  of  the  film 
from  the  ajjueous  action ;  but  the  other  papers  which  originally  sup- 
ported the  film,  soon  become  soaked  and  peel  off,  exposing  iJie  back 
surface  of  the  tissue.  Water  is  then  gently  poured  over  this,  and  by 
degrees  the  sii{>erlluous  or  undccomposed  gelatine  and  pigment  is  all 
washed  awav,  and  the  picture  stands  forth  in  all  its  inlcgnty.  But  in 
this  state  it  is  reversed  as  regards  right  and  left,  and  requires  retrans- 
feiring  from  its  caoutchouc  bed  to  its  final  resting-place.  To  effect  this 
transfer  it  is  coated  wiUi  gelatine  and  stuck  down  to  the  mounting  card 
or  paper;  the  then  upper  side — the  caoutchouc  paper — is  then  brushed 
over  with  benjcole;  this  dissolve!!  the  india  rubber,  but  does  not  touch 
the  gelatine,  and  the  paper  comes  cleanly  away,  leaving  the  picture 
pcrfccdy  finished  and  mounted,  a  "thing  of  beauty,  and" — unlike  its 
photographic  progenitors — "a  joy  for  ever." 

Absolute  imperishability  is  a  virtue  no  earthly  work,  certainly  no 
picture,  can  lay  cUim  to.  But  whatever  of  permanency  belongs  to  an 
engraving,  or  a  chalk,  or  intlian-ink,  or  sepia  drawing,  that  we  may 
expect  in  productions  by  this  process.  The  image  is  carbon,  or  some 
other  knovm  permanent  pigment ;  the  vehicle  or  menstruum  in  which  the 
pigment  is  held  is  insoluble  gelatine,  and  of  Uiis  there  is  no  gre;Lter 
quantity  tlian  is  borne  by  any  sheet  of  well-sized  papier.  Instead  of 
carbon,  any  pigment  may  be  employed,  as  we  have  already  urged  ;  and 
this  brings  the  process  into  the  domain  of  the  marvelluus,  for  we  have 
actually  seen  a  scjiia  drawing  copied  in  sepia,  an  indian-ink  sketch 
reprofluccd  in  indian-ink,  and  a  red-<:halk  drawing  actually  repeated  in 
red-chalk,  the  copy  being  in  form  und  in  material!  a  du]:)licate  of  the 
original.     Can  reproductive  art  go  farther? 

The  demands  for  printing  by  this  process  have  outgrown  Mr.  Swan's 
powers  of  supply,  so  he  has  sold  his  patent  rights  to  a  small  company 
who  are  preparing  premises  for  working  it  on  a  scale  suited  to  present 
and  probable  future  wants.  Some  copies  of  first-class  pirmrcs  will,  we 
believe,  shortly  be  offered  to  the  public  as  initiators  of  the  new  system. 
Photographs  having  acquired  a  bad  name  from  their  unstable  qualities, 
the  carbon  prints  will  not  be  associated  with  them  even  by  name,  but 
will  be  called  autot)'pc5.  In  the  meantime,  those  who  wish  to  know 
more  of  the  new  art,  and  to  sec  a  beautiful  specimen  of  it,  may  gratify 
both  wishes  by  procuring  the  work  whose  title  we  have  made  the  heading 
of  this  article.

ENGLAND. 

Yorkshire. — At  tlic  annual  meeting  of  the  Hinldcrsfiirld  Archxological 
and  Topograpliical  Association,  ii  wns  announced  that  ihc  Council  bad 
resolved  to  suspend  for  the  present  the  excavations  at  SUt:k  (ihe  Roman 
Campodunum),  until  all  the  contingencies  and  liabiUties  already  incurred 
shall  be  fuDy  provided  for,  and  adequate  funds  collected  not  only  to 
carry  on  but  to  complete  the  works  commenced. 

A  paper  by  Mr.  Albert  Way,  on  one  of  the  minor  objects  found  at 
Sbck,  was  read  ;  and  as  we  can  illustrate  it  by  an  engraving,  it  will  be 
received  with  especial  interest  by  many  of  the  readers  of  The  Genti-e- 
man's  Magazine.     Mr.  Way  observes  that  "  the  brome  object  found  it

Slack  in  1866  is  unquestion.ib]y  of  Roman  origin,  and  although  the 
enamelled  ornaments  of  the  period  have  been  found  at  seveml  stations 
and  loM-ns  that  were  occupied  by  Ihe  Romans,  they  arc  of  suflicicnl 
rarity  to  be  recognised  as  amongst  llie  most  interesting  of  the  minor 
relics  of  Iheir  age,  Specimens  have  occurred  amongst  others  at  York, 
Lincoln,  Cirencester,  Cacrleon,  and  other  sites  of  recent  explorations  itt 
various  parts  of  the  country.  The  colours  are  for  the  most  ])jjt  strikingly 
contrasted  ;  blue  and  red  arc  the  alternaiions  most  in  favoiu ;  green 
occurs  not  unfrequently  ;  and  in  a  few  instances  spots  of  white  or  black 
arc  introduced  in  the  body  of  the  other  colours  by  some  operations  that 
more  recent  artificers  have  rarely  imitated  with  success.  The  technical 
operation  in  all  these  Roman  en.imelled  objects  is  the  same  that  was  so 
long  and  admirably  employed  by  the  artists  of  Limoges,  especially  in 
the  i2th  ant!  ijih  centuries,  and  also  byenamellers  in  Germany  or  other 
parts  of  Europe,  who  seem  to  have  followed  the  practice  and  some  con- 
ventional peculiarities  of  the  design  of  the  B)T;antine  School  of  Art.  All 
the  Roman  enamels,  such  as  that  found  at  Slack,  appear  (o  be  executed 
on  bronze  ;  in  the  middle  ages  copper  alone  was  used,  and  it  is  stated

Antiquarian  Notes.

that  rrtppcr  only  would  bear  the  necessary  degree  of  heat,  greater  pro 
bahly  than  that  rciiuired  to  fuse  the  Roman  enamels.  The  mediaeval 
works  of  this  nature  are  sometimes  of  very  large  dimensions;  at  Stoke 
Dabenvon,  in  Surrey,  there  is  a  sepulchral  brass  of  life-size,  a  figure  in 
armour,  with  a  shield  upon  the  arm,  charged  with  the  heraldic  bearing 
of  the  deceased,  coloured  by  means  of  enamel*  This  obscnation  may 
claim  notice  in  regard  to  Roman  enamels  of  the  like  description  as  the 
little  ornament  found  at  Slack,  which  is  a  fastening  for  harness  or  some 
I^art  of  the  diess,  and  of  a  form  that  ha>i  repeatedly  occurred  on  Roman 
sites,  and  there  may  now  be  brought  together  from  Romano- British  sites 
alone  a  remarkable  variety  of  enamelled  relics  in  good  preser^'atioo. 
The  most  curious  and  interesting  is  that  known  to  antiquaries  as  the 
'  Rudge  Cup.'  now  in  the  museum  of  the  Uuke  of  Northumberland,  at 
Alnwick  Castle.  This  was  found  by  his  Grace's  ancestor  in  the  last 
centur>',  in  a  well  within  the  area  of  a  Roman  villa  at  Kudge,  near 
Marlborough,  Wilts.  There  are  also  seveml  beautiful  enamel  ornaments 
in  the  York  Museum.  It  is  remarkable  that  the  Creek  rhetorician  of 
the  second  century,  Philostratus,  who  taught  both  at  Athens  and  at 
Rome,  and  must  have  had  ample  opportunities  of  obtaining  informatioti 
in  tegard  to  remote  parts  of  the  empire,  states  that  the  barbarians  dwel- 
ling near  the  shores  of  the  ocean  were  singularly  skilled  in  decorating 
their  harness  and  chariots  with  colours  applied  by  aid  of  fire.  His  brief 
notice,  indeeil,  appears  so  strikingly  allusive  to  such  an  art  as  the  en- 
richment of  mttals  l>j'  fu^cd  vitruous  colours  or  enamels,  that  some  anti- 
quaries who  have  cuaminal  the  sjiccimcns  above  mentioned  have 
imagined  that  the  art  may  possibly  have  been  brought  to  perfection  by 
the  so-called  barbarians  of  the  North,  and  should  not  be  traced,  as 
commonly  supposed,  to  an  Eastern  origin.'' 

Tlie  Rev.  Canon  Rainc,  in  a  paper  on  "The  Topographical  Mate- 
rials for  Agbrigg  Wapentake,"  urged  that  an  effort  should  be  made  on 
behalf  of  Vorkshirc  topography  on  some  special  plan.  The  materials 
for  the  work  were  much  more  extensive  than  they  were  twenty  years  ago^ 
and  were  daily  increasing.  Moreover  they  could  not  afford  to  wait  until 
every  ancient  church  and  hall  had  gone  tluoiigh  the  terrible  process  of 
"restoration."  He  regretted,  and  regretted  most  deeply,  that  the 
choicest  works  of  medixval  architecture  should  be  tampered  with  or 
destroyed  to  please  the  whim  or  caprice  of  some  modern  scorncr  of  their 
art.  He  had  known  old  screen-work  used  for  firewood,  old  stained 
glass  sent  into  the  broker's  shop,  ancient  doors  and  windows  replaced,' 
or  removed  altogether,  in  order  that  everj'thing  might  be  "  uniform  ;  " 
church  towers  or  walls  had  been  removed  because  they  were  deemed  to 
be  dangerous,  and  some  of  them  had  been  found  "so  disa^eeably 
strong"  that  the  use  of  gunpowder  was  necessarj*  to  bring  them  down. 
He  recommended  that  if  these  ancient  monuments  must  perish,  those  to 
whom  they  liad  charms  should  make  an  effort  to  have  lliem  perpetuated 
by  the  i>cncJl  in  a  county  hi.story,  and  he  feared  that  if  lliey  waited 
much  longer  there  would  be  nothing  left  to  draw.  He  suggested  as  the 
model  for  sarh  a  work  Mr.  Hunter's  "  Histor)*  of  Doncaster,"  which  was

tJie  only  part  of  the  county  of  York  -vrtiich  could  be  said  to  have  a 
history  at  all. 

The  Sheffield  Architectural  and  Aicha;ological  Society  was  inaugurated 
on  the  6th  ultimo,  when  a  veiy  populai  and  sensible  address  was 
delivered  by  Dr.  Aveling,  the  PresidenL  "We  are  assembled  here  this 
evening  "  he  said,  *'  to  inaugurate  a  new  society  in  Sheffield, — one  of 
noblest  aims  and  widest  scope.  In  naming  it  we  have  chosen  two 
words — '  architectural '  and  '  archaeological  '^words  of  the  most  absorb- 
ing interest  to  mankind.  Let  a  fire  or  a  flood  deprive  a  man  of  the 
roof  under  which  he  has  been  sheltered  tn  comfort,  or  let  him  be  lost  on 
a  bleak  moor,  battling  with  the  tempest  or  blinded  by  snow,  and  he  will 
at  once  appreciate  one  of  tlic  many  advantages  bestowed  upon  him  by 
architecture.  Again,  what  a  host  of  associations  rushes  upon  the  mind 
at  the  mention  of  the  word  archaeology  !  What  an  immense  continent 
of  thought  bears  this  name  I  what  alluring  tracts  of  country,  upon  which 
the  foot  of  man  has  not  been  for  ccntunes,  lie  open  to  the  adventurous  t 
what  tangled  wilderness  and  mighty  caverns  tempt  the  bold  explorer ! 
Here  are  no  barren  rocks  nor  arid  plains,  no  poi.sonous  serpent  nor 
furious  beast.  'I1ic  whole  beauties  of  the  eountr)'  are  open  to  ever)'one

is  the  science  which  relates  to  ancient  things.  If  it  be  true  that  there 
be  nothing  new  under  the  sun,  no  one  can  possibly  complain  that  our 
Society  is  too  limited  either  in  range  of  subjects  or  sources  of  interest." 

Dr.  Aveling,  at  considerable  length  and  with  much  force,  pointed  out 
the  objects  of  the  Soaety,  and  the  true  definitions  uf  archaeolog)*  and 
arclulectute,  interspcrtiing  technical  details  with  teflcctiuns  of  wider  scope, 
which  could  but  strike  his  hearers  with  elTcct:^"  If  it  were  not  for  our 
ignorance  we  should  find  intercut  in  the  meanest  object  Give  wliat 
you  so  disdainfully  call  mud  to  a  chemist,  and  watch  him.  He  eva- 
porates the  water  from  it,  ami  examines  the  powder  under  a  microscope. 
He  bums  it,  and  tests  it,  and  weighs  it,  and  becomes  interested,  even 
excited  over  it.  He  finds  fossils,  .ind  cr)-5ials,  and  parts  of  plants,  and 
aniinals  in  it,  the  descHptiun  of  which  would  take  you  an  hour  to  read. 
Again,  what  you  denounce  as  a  tiresome  weed,  the  botanist  gathers 
carefully  and  places  in  a  book,  with  a  long  Latin  name  under  it,  that  he

poisonous  reptiles,  and  the  most  mischievous  vermin,  are  objects  of

pity  and  love  is  the  outcast  1  Hundreds  of  beautiful  and  interesting 
things  lie  neglected  at  the  doors  of  all.  The  eye  only  requires  to  be 
opened  by  education,  and  they  at  once  become  %-isiblc.  One  of  the 
objects  of  our  Societ)-,  then,  must  be  to  teach  architecture  ;  to  teach  the 
eye  to  sec  feeling  and  meaning  in  stones,  for  Shakspearc  did  not  cx-

oar  patron  the  vicar,  it  will  for  the  future  he  left  in  our  kccpinf;  and  form 
an  attractive  object  in  our  museum.  If  we  examine  it  cirefully  we  find 
that  it  is  composed  of  limesionL-,  and  not  of  gritstone  like  the  present 
church.  We  see  from  its  form  tUut  it  must  have  formed  part  of  an  arch, 
and  firom  its  sculpturing  that  it  belonged  to  a  building  executed  between 
the  years  ro66and[i45.  Having  ohlaincd  ihesc  facts,  we  arc  in  a  position 
to  corroborate  the  opinion  advanced  by  Mr.  Hunter,  that  the  first  church 
of  Sheffield  was  founded  in  the  time  of  Henry  I.  by  William  dc  Lovclot — 
to  say  tliat  it  was  built  of  limestone,  and  that  it  still  exists,  although 
hidden  from  view,  carefully  nursed  in  the  arms  of  its  daughter — and 
to  restore,  as  an  anatomist  docs  an  animal  from  a  single  bone,  this  beau- 
tiful Normnn  arch — this  is  what  the  knowledge  of  the  history  of  archi- 
tecture can  do,  and  I  believe  there  is  not  a  single  Sheffield  man  who 
would  not  be  moved  at  the  sight  of  this  likeness  of  a  lovely  portion  of 
the  church  in  which  their  ancestors  worshipped  eight  hundred  years  ago. 
A  feeling  of  reverence  for  the  work  of  our  forefathers  is  necessary  to 
guide  us  in  the  difficult  task  of  restoration.  What  pitiless  destruction  is 
every  day  going  on  around  us !  The  ravages  of  time  are  insignificant 
irhen  compared  with  the  merciless  depredations  committed  by  the 
chisel  and  the  pick.  Whatever  our  politics  may  be  on  other  subjects, 
I  am  quite  sure  that  on  that  of  church  lestontuon  we  shall,  to  a  man, 
be  stanch  Consen-atives." 

JCeni. — Mr.  John  Brent  has  recently  communicated  to  TAe  Kmiuk 
Gazitfe,  hii  opinions  on  certain  leaden  coffins  and  skeletons  recently  dis- 
covered in  Bridge  Street,  Canterbuf)',  during  excavations  for  draining. 
Three  of  the  skeletons  were  described  by  the  workmen  as  having  sLakes 
driven  through  the  breast;  and  a  theory  was  forthwith  started  and 
adopted  that  they  must  have  been  suicides.  Mr,  Brent,  taking  a  simpler 
view,  thinks  the  stakes  had  been  applied  to  some  purpose  for  which 
stakes  are  commonly  used ;  and  he  sees  no  reason  why  the  coffins  should 
hare  been  so  quickly  sold  for  old  metal  and  destroyed  before  he  and 
othert  had  examined  them.  One  of  the  coffins  is  tlcscribcd  by  a  writer 
agntng  himself  "F.  S.  .\.,"  as  Ijeing  ornamented  upon  the  Cop  with  diagonal 
lines,  "having  at  the  point  of  their  mtcrscction  in  the  centre,  a  very 
good  mediaeval  rcse  patera  ca.st  on  it,  and  four  others  at  midway 
eadi  of  the  semi-dbgonals."  Mr.  Brent,  on  the  otlier  hand,  sees  no 
evidence  why  the  cotTms  might  not  have  been  Roman;  he  remarks 
that  one,  at  least,  was  found  tying  north  and  south;  and  that  there 
l^iras  a  considcmbLc  ([uantity  of  lime  in  and  about  one  of  them.  It 
' appeare  that  the  body  had  liecn  placed  upon  a  bed  of  two  and  ahalf 
inches  of  lime,  and  then  packed  roun<l  with  clay.  The  coffin  had 
been  thickly  coated  with  lime,  and  lay  six  feet  deep ;  of  this  measure- 
ment three  feet  had  accumulated  since  the  deposit — an  important  Htm 
in  judging  the  date ;  and  were  it  not  "Roman,  as  Mr.  Brent  suggests,  it 
certainly  deserved  at  least  a  respite  from  destruction ;  and  its  interest  is 
not  much,  if  at  all,  lessened,  supposing  it  early  medixval.  Mr.  Brent 
deserves  the  thanks  of  all  true  antiquaries  for  his  watchfulness  under 
discouraging  circumstances.  The  fine  Roman  leaden  coffin  lately  dis- 
covered at  Milton,  will,  by  the  liberality  of  Mr.  Alfred  Jordan,  find  a 
in  the  Charles  Museum  at  Maidstone.

A  large  amphora  filled  with  calcined  Immin  bones  was  dug  up  some 
days  since,  al  X'aux,  on  the  road  from  Canterbury  to  Slurry ;  and  a

N^thumberland. — At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Society  of  Antiquaries 
of  Newcastle-upon-Tyne,  Dr.  Bmre  read  a  paper  on  the  Roman  in- 
scribed slab  found  in  lowering  the  stable-j-ard  at  Halton  Castle,  imme- 
diately to  the  south  of  the  Roman  station  of  Hunnum.  The  inscription, 
as  it  now  stands,  reads  : —

crus-scR 

B  .  M  .  P.  ; 

and  the  fragment  is  aJ>out  1 9  inches  by  17;  but  Dr.  Brace,  who  has 
closely  examined  it,  thinks  thai  only  one  line  Is  wanting  ;  and  that  the 
mis&ing  letters  ate  d  .  m.  the  well-known  sepulchral  fonnulo.  for  Dtis. 
liianUms.  'i'hc  genitive  case  is  somewhat  an  objection  to  this  reading, 
which  in  other  respects  is  quite  satisfacloiy.  At  the  same  time  it  is 
not  safe  to  divide  the  word  Kardalionis,  as  it  docs  not  appear  to  have 
any  marks  of  diviMon,  tempting  as  another  M^lution  then  would  be.  As 
Dr.  Bruce  has  bad  an  oijportunity  of  examining  the  stone  itself,  be 
is  best  able  to  judge  how  much  is  wanting ;  and  upon  tliis  dejwndit  tlic 
sense  in  which  we  sliould  read  Hardalumis.     Dr.  llrucc  writes  llius; — 

"Cumiuiativcly  few  instj'iptions  have  been  found  in  this  fort,  con- 
sequently every  addition  to  their  nunilmr  is  peculiarly  acceptable.  There 
can  be  no  doubt  that  the  record  is  of  the  inunumuntal  kind,  and  is  a 
memorial  some  departed  soldier.  It  was  customary  to  bury  by  the 
wayside,  and  as  there  can  be  little  doubt  that  a  road  proceeded  from 
the  south  gateway  of  Hunnum  to  join  the  Wailing  Street,  this  stone 
was  probably  originally  deposited  not  far  from  the  spot  where  it  has  just 
been  found.  The  letters  of  the  inscription  are  fortunately  quite  distinct, 
though  some  of  them  are  slightly  peculiar  in  their  form,  and  probably 
belong  to  a  somewhat  advancetl  period  of  the  Roman  occupation  of 
Britain.  Supplying  the  letters  D.  M.,  with  which  there  can  be  no  doubt 
the  inscription  commenced,  the  whole  reads — '  Dih  Manibus  JiardO' 
iionis.  CifUegium  contervo  bait  meroiti  potuity  and  may  be  thus  trans- 
lated— 'To  the  divine  manes  of  Hardaiio.  The  guild  have  erected 
this  to  their  colleague,  welt  desen'ing.'  The  inscription  differs  from 
any  hitherto  found  upon  the  wall,  and  is  not  without  its  difficulties. 
The  word  Jlardalionis  has  a  barbarous  sound,  and  it  was  not  until  I  had 
failcii  in  the  attempt  to  resolve  it  into  one  or  more  words  of  more  classic 
aspect  that  I  felt  obliged  to  accept  it  as  the  genitive  case  of  the  name  of 
the  deceased.  There  is  a  leaf,  serving  the  purpose  of  a  hill  stop,  at  the 
dose  of  tills  word,  llius  cutting  it  off  from  the  remainder  of  the  inscrip- 
tion. The  word  cei/egium  ocrurs  in  some  British  and  in  many  foreign 
inscriptions.  In  the  Eimous  Chichester  inscription  we  have  the  phrase 
coUtgium  fabrorumy  'the  fraternity  of  artificers,"  and  in  one  found  at 
Satfa,  we  have  a  corresponding  expression,  ex  toll^o  fabrUf.     An  altar

scription before  us,  and  may  refer  to  a  club  of  smiths  or  carpenters,  ot 
to  an  association  of  men  banded  together  for  the  purpose  of  performing 
some  mystic  religious  rites.  The  latter  is  the  opinion  which  Mr. 
Hodgson  formed  of  the  word  on  the  Rochester  altar.  The  woni  ccfl- 
strve  is  the  only  one  remaining  to  be  considered  Cmsa-vus  usually 
signifies  a  fellow-slave.  An  inscription  found  at  Rome,  and  given  in 
Orellt,  No.  2873,  contains  the  word  tonsenv,  and  altogeilicr  throws 
considerable  light  upon  the  Halton  slab  ;  it  is — Vis  Manthm.  Benigno 
librario  Qiiinti  \Di*mim'\  msiri  Dtaiiumotus  ei  EuhoJus  omienv  bene

occnpied  the  honouralile  position  of  librarian  nr  secretary  in  the  house- 
hold of  his  master.  Tlie  word  eonsert'us  therefore  does  not  necessarily 
involve  a  menial  c-ondilion."  As  obscr%*cd,  it  is  the  beginning  of  the 
■fingmentary  inscription  whirh  raises  a  doubt ;  and  that  ritcd  for  com- 
parison gives,  as  is  usual,  the  Dm  Manihus  as  complete  tn  itself;  and 
Smi^o  IS  in  the  dative;  while  in  the  Halton  Castle  slab  the  original 
word  or  words  in  the  dative  seem  to  be  wanting.

Tht  GmtUmaris  Magazine.  [March, 


At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Society,  fcfr.  Porker  gave  a  brief  account 

of  the  main  features  of  !iis  discoveries  of  early  Christian  ecclesiastical 
arcliitecturc,  the  result  of  a  close  cxaminaiioD  of  the  ancient  churches. 
Mr,  S!i.ikspcrc  ^\'ood,  the  sccrclar)-,  read  a  paper  on  some  fragments  of 
a  plan  of  ancient  Kome,  of  the  third  century,  engraved  en  marble, 
which  had  been  discovered  in  tlie  garden  of  the  church  of  SS.  Cosmos 
and  Damian  in  making  excavations  at  ttie  foot  of  a  large  wall  of  tiles, 
of  tlic  same  cpodi,  on  which  portions  of  the  plastering  yet  remain,  and 
the  bronze  hooks  by  which  the  slabs  of  marble  were  iasteoed.  Mr. 
Wood  considered  that  this  wall  farmed  part  of  the  temple  of  Vrbi 
Roma.  The  fragments  give  the  plan  of  a  vast  portico,  or  colonnade, 
with  these  words,  p4?rtuui  I.ivia.  This  plan  agrees  in  ineobUiciiienis 
with  the  platform  upon  which  stand  the  church  of  St.  Fnuiccs-U-Ro- 
mana,  and  the  ruins  commonly  called  the  temple  of  Venus  and  Rome. 

Mr.  Hemans  differed  in  opinion  from  Mr.  Wood,  and  cited,  in  sup- 
port of  his  views,  ni.iny  passages  in  ancient  writers.  Mr.  Parker,  not- 
withstanding, was  inclined  to  give  weight  to  Mr.  Wood's  views.  He  is 
of  opinion  that  the  third  Rf;^io  of  the  Rome  of  Augustus,  instead  of 
terminating  at  the  Mc(a  SudMs,  according  to  modem  writers,  extended 
to  the  other  extremity  of  the  Pcrtitui  Uvia ;  and  that  rfie  Castra  Mist' 
natium  are  now  represented  by  the  small  triangular  hill,  between  the 
basilica  of  Maxentius  and  of  Constantine  le  CoLys^,  to  the  east  of  the 
Portiiui  Livix. 


Scientific  0otc0  of  tijr  i^ont^. 

PhysUal  Sctenu. — Dr.  Schmidt,  of  the  Athens  Observatory,  puts  forth 
a  caulogue  of  luminous  meteors,  containing  the  hiiheno  unpublished 
records  of  about  600,  of  which  275  were  obscn-ed  by  himself,  and  the 
rest  collected  from  various  sources.  It  comprises  all  available  details 
relating  to  each  bolide,  and  is  arranged  on  a  plan  similar  to  that  of  the 
lists  compiled  by  the  British  Association.  He  promises  shortly  a  general 
catalogue  of  over  aooo  of  these  bodies  observed  in  the  quarter  of  a 
century  that  has  eUpsed  since  1842,  In  this  collection  he  has  noted 
that  6;j4  meteors  left  trains,  and  that  i(>3  were  accompanied  by  detona- 
tions :  there  were  also  79  instances  of  showers  of  stones,  and  five  of 
£li]s  of  meteoric  iron.  He  docs  not  think  that  friction  in  the  atmosphere 
is  the  cause  of  luminosity  in  mctcon^,  for  he  has  found  that  the  brightest 
meteors  are  the  highest. — Soon  after  telegraphs  came  into  general  use, 
those  whose  business  it  was  to  use  them  frequently  recognised  spontaneous 
galvanic  currents  traversing  the  lines  of  wire,  and  it  was  subsequently 
found  that  the  currents  manifested  themselves  on  certain  da)'s  always 
coinciding  with  those  on  which  disturbances  of  die  magnetic  needles 
were  obscn'cd.  The  Astronomer  Royal  therefore  caused  apparatus  to 
be  erected  at  the  Greenwich  Obsen-atory  for  perpetually  recording  the 
currents  traversing  two  lines  of  telegraph  wire  especially  set  up  for  the 
purpose  between  Greenwich  and  Croydon,  and  Greenwich  and  Dartford. 
The  galvanometer  needles  upon  which  the  currenls  acted  were  made  to 
register  their  movements  automatically  by  the  aid  of  photography,  in  the 
same  manner  that  the  magnets  record  their  movements  at  the  same

establishment.  A  comparison  of  the  two  registers  on  certfliti  days  of 
magnetic  disturbance  revealed  the  significant  fact  that  the  curves  marked 
out  by  the  galvanometers  are  similar  to  those  traced  by  the  magnets. 
The  Astronomer  Royal  communicatetl  the  details  of  these  comparisons 
to  the  Royal  Society  on  Feb.  6,  and  he  then  expressed  his  undoubtinj; 
belief  that  the  irregularities  of  magnetic  force  are  caused  by  galvanic 
cuirents.— A  comparison  of  the  records  of  rainfall  with  those  of  periodical 
phenomena  of  magnetism,  instituted  by  Mr.  CJlaisher  to  determine 
whether  any  connection  could  be  traced  between  those  elements,  has 
led  to  a  negative  result:  no  connecttun  could  be  made  out  belweeti 
the  daily  mo>-ements  of  the  declination  magnet  and  the  ckily  fall  of 
laiD.  Some  other  facts,  however,  come  out  uf  the  cx.3min:ition.  It 
appears  from  a  tabulation  of  six  ycar^'  observations  that  min  is  more 
fictjucnt  between  noon  and  midnight  than  between  midnight  iind  noon  ; 
and  there  seems  to  be  some  connection  between  the  daily  rainfall  and  the 
position  of  the  stm,  for  the  smallest  falls  take  place  in  the  morning  hours 
while  the  sun  is  going  up,  and  the  largest  dunng  tl\e  afternoon  when  the 
sun  is  declining.— Dr.  Buys  Ballot  publishes  the  description  of  an  instru- 
ment supplied  to  the  Dutch  ports  for  indicating  differences  of  barometric 
pressure.  The  direction  and  force  of  the  wind  depend  less  upon  the 
actual  height  of  the  barometer  at  a  station,  than  upon  the  difference  of 
heiglits  of  barometers  at  places  some  distance  apart :  therefore,  diffe- 
rences of  pressure  arc  tc!egra|>hcd  to  the  ports  aforcjiaid,  and  posted  up

volume  of  the  works  of  the  illustrious  physicist,  i-'rcsncl,  is  announced 
to  appear  at  once  :  the  first  appeared  a  year  ago.  It  Ls  devoted  juinci- 
pally  to  the  undulatory  tlieory  and  tlie  phenomena  of  double  refractions. 
The  third  volume,  which  is  in  the  press,  relates  chiefly  to  lighthouses 
and  their  illumination. — The  Astronomical  Society  has  this  year  awarded 
its  gold  medal  to  M.  I,c  Vcrricr,  for  his  general  researches  in  physical

I  GtW^SfV. — M.  Elie  du  Beaumont  has  considered  that  it  would  be  highly 
interesting  to  study  the  annual  movements  of  the  bed  of  ice  that  spreads 
over  the  polar  regions  of  the  globe.  At  certain  epochs  of  the  year  the 
northern  ice-cap  extends  slowly  towards  the  south  :  it  reaches  an  extreme 
limit,  about  which  it  varies  during  a  certain  time,  and  then  retreats 
towards  the  north.  'ITicsc  movements  arc  rendered  sensible  by  various 
phenomeru  :  iccbei|;s  leave  their  home  for  the  seas  of  lower  latitudes ; 
persistent  nofthedy  winds  cover  the    soil  with  snow  and  frost ;   and 

I  mountain  glaciers  descend  into  the  valleys-  'Hie  director  of  the  Paris 
Observatory,  instigated  by  M.  du  Beaumont's  suggestion,  has  issued  a 
circular  to  meteorologists  and  physical  observers,  announcing  his  inten- 
tion of  collecting  at  the  Observatory  all  possible  data  concerning  the 
phenomena  attendant  upon  the  appearance  and  departure  of  the  cold 
season  in  all  p-irts  of  the  northern  hemisphere,  and  of  collating  these  and 
publishing  them  in  a  digested  form  from  year  to  year.  He  invites  co- 
operation from  all  quarters  towards  the  perfection  of  his  good  work.— 
According  to  M.  Claire  Deville,  an  old  student  of  volcanic  phenomena, 
there  exists  a  constant  and  certain  relationship  between  the  degree  of 
intensity  of  an  eruption  and  the  nature  of  the  gaseous  elements  ejected

from  the  volcanic  apertures  :  he  stales  Ihat  in  an  eruption  of  maxiniuiu 
ilil«o»ity  the  predominant  volatile  product  is  chloride  of  S4xlium,  accom- 
panied by  other  compounds  of  »oda  and  potassium;  in  eruptions  of  a 
second  degree,  hydrochloric  add  and  chloride  of  iron  predominate  ;  in 
a  lliird  class,  bydro-sulpliurtc  acid  and  the  salts  of  ammonia  prevail ; 
while  in  the  last  class  noUiing  is  ejected  but  steam,  carbonic  add,  and 
combusiibic  jj^cs. — Mr.  David  Forbes,  in  a  late  comtnunication  to  the 
Popular  SfifTtu  Ha-ioii,  disproves  llie  aiU^^e  that  "mountains  should  not 
be  looke<l  nt  through  microscopes,"  by  showing  that  those  instrumenia 
may  lend  the  geologist  valunUe  aid  in  his  analyses  of  rocks  and  scili- 
mentary  deposits,— Some  geologists  have  expressed  their  belief  that 
naphtha  would  be  found  in  the  Caucasus:  this  belief  has  been  realised, 
for  a  boring,  J76  feet  deep,  at  Kuaaco,  has  struck  a  source  of  this  liquid, 
which  for  a  time  yielded  1500  barrels  daily ;  more  recently  a  second 
source  has  been  discovered,  from  which  the  naphtha  jets  to  a  height  of 
40  feet  above  the  ground,  and  flows  at  the  rate  of  6000  barrels  a  day. 
— The  President  of  the  Oeological  Society,  Mr.  W.  W'arington  Smyth, 
gave  a  loirie  on  the  evening  of  tlie  15th  ult.  at  Willis's  Rooms,  at  which 
a  large  collection  of  geological  pictures,  photographs,  models,  and  anti- 
quities, was  brought  together.  Tlie  "  exhibits  "  included  some  veiy  nice 
gems,  ttome  reuuirkable  tufa  casts  of  medaUions  and  other  objects  depo-

implements,  illustrated  by  natural  forms,  which  have  been  toUccted 
together  by  Mr.  Hughes,  of  the  (Geological  Survey,  was  publicly  exhibited 
for  the  first  lime.  The  main  object  sought  to  be  illustrated  in  this 
admirable  collection  is  an  indication  of  the  probability  of  the  earliest 
individuals  of  primitive  races  ha\'ing  found  nammlly  shaped  flints  of 
\urious  forms  useful  for  different  purponcs,  and  their  having  been  thus 
led  to  chip  or  flake  masses  of  flint  into  forms  similarly  suitable.

Arctic  and  Antarctic  voyages  have  ever  offered  lo  British  seamen  in 
times  of  peace.  His  rcnurks  had  special  reference  to  the  exploration  of 
Ihc  North  Polar  region.  There  are  three  routes  by  which  the  polar 
area  can  be  reached,  viz.,  by  Spiubergen,  by  Behring's  Straits,  and  by  ^ 
Baflin's  Bay.  He  preferred  the  Baflin's  Ilay  and  Smith  Sound  route,  | 
because  the  land  extends  farther  north  in  tliai  direction.  Dr.  Petermaa, 
of  Goiha,  had  communicated  to  him  the  news  that  a  Gemtan  expedition, 
vt&  the  Spiubeigen  route,  was  dciermined  on  for  iSiig:  two  screw- 
steamers,  one  of  450  cons,  the  other  somewhat  smaller,  having  been

A^-ssinian  expedition,  by  Mr.  W.  Je-sse,  who  h.i3  been  elected  by  the 
Zoological  Society  and  appointed  by  the  Government  to  join  the  invading 
amiy. — The  Darwinian  theory  of  natural  selection  lately  came  on  for 
discussion  at  the  lithnological  Society,  Mr.  Crawfurd,  the  President, 
detailing  the  objections  which  obligt-d  him  to  refuse  his  belief  to  it. 
One  of  his  ailments  was  that  autlicntic  history  affords  no  trace  of 
cvideQce  of  the  "  piotUablc  variations"  in  pl.tnts  and  aninuds ;  the 
mummies  of  the  ibis  and  the  keslral  hawk  in  the  Egyptian  catacombs 
not  differing  in  the  smallest  particular  from  those  birds  of  Kg)'pt  in  the 
present  day,  and  drawings  of  the  ox,  ass,  dog,  and  goose,  as  they  existed 
in  ancient  Kgypt  representing  thcee  animals  as  they  exist  now. 
"  Nature,"  he  said,  *'  no  doubt  supplies  u.';  with  wonderful  mutations  of 
form  and  character,  but  they  bear  no  analogy  to  those  ascribed  to  tlie 
Darwinian  theor>'.  which  arc  more  ex'travMgant  than  tliu  metainoqjhoses 
of  Ovid.  The  tndpole  nimed  into  a  froR,  the  citcrpillar  into  a  butterfly, 
and  a  maggot  into  a  bee,  are  wonderful  munitions,  but  nothing  in  com 
pariiwn  with  those  which  suppose  eight  or  ten  nameless  atoms  to  have 
peopled  the  land  and  the  waters  with  all  their  varied  forms  of  life.  To 
bear  any  resemblance  to  the  transfonnations  of  the  Darwinian  theory, 
the  frog  ought  at  least  to  be  transformed  into  a  crocodile,  the  butterfly 
into  a  <love,  and  the  bee  into  a  falcon  or  eagle."  He  admitted  that 
under  man's  direction  variations  arc  frequent  in  pLints  and  animals,  but 
only  to  a  limile<I  degree,  and  with  some  doubt  a.s  to  the  identity  of  the 
wild  with  the  cultivated  species;  even  supposing  this  identity  establisbed, 
the  variation  is  no  improvement,  for  domesticated  aiiiaialsare  but  feeble 
competitors  wiili  their  wild  congeners,  and  ought  not  to  be  quoted  as 
profitable  muutions.  Fur  the  prci^unt,  the  tiansmigrations  have  had 
their  climax  in  man ;  but  if  the  theory  were  true,  it  ought,  after  the 
iapsc  of  a  period  of  time  e(]ual  in  length  with  that  which  has  transpired

since  a  monad  became  a  man,  to  produce  a  being  twice  as  highly  gifted 
as  the  existing  race  of  mortals.  The  theory,  however,  is  supposed 
terminate  in  absolute  perfection  ;  Imt  why,  if  the  principle  of  A'tvtL 
ment  be  well  founded,  it  should  ever  end  at  all,  is  not  explained.  Th< 
Mr.  Crawfurd  proceeded  to  refute  the  notion  that  the  origin  and  deve- 
lopment of  languages  is  a  corroboration  of  the  theory,  arguing  that  the 
framing  of  a  language  is  a  factitious  operation  ;  and  this  brought  hiza  to 
the  ethnological  part  of  his  subject,  whicli  he  treated  at  considerable 
length.  The  physical  and  intellectual  ilisjiaritics  Ijotneen  the  races  of 
man  and  tlie  family  of  apes  were  strikingly  set  forth,  and  tlie  impossi- 
bihty  of  bridging  uvcr  ihu  gap  separating  man  from  the  irogliMlytcs  was 
insisted  upon.  In  conclusion,  he  said  that  the  Darwinian  ihcor)-  "'  mates 
a  man  out  of  a  monkey,  and  of  something  as  yet  unknown,  leaving 
mankind  an  indiscriminate  hodge-podge,  andj  except  in  so  far  as  it  pro- 
vokes inquiry,  Is  of  no  value  to  etlinology  or  the  natural  histoiy  of  man.* 
Professor  Busk  and  Sir  John  Lubbock  opposed  Mr.  Crawfurfi,  and  sup- 
ported Dr.  Darwin  ;  Sir  Roderick  Murchison  did  the  reverse,  and  ujged 
that  in  his  opinion  there  was  geological  evidence  alone  sufficient  to  con- 
trovert the  Darwinian  hypothesis.

EIe€iruity. — In  the  BMhtkhfUf  Imiverselle,  M.  Du  Saussure  relat 
some  curious  facts  coiKcrning  the  discharge  of  electricity  from  the  tops 
of  mountains,  observed,  in  1865,  on  the  I'iz  Surley  (Saint  Moritz),  and, 
in  1856,  on  (he  Nevado  dc  Toluca,  in  Mexico.  On  the  first-mentioned 
occasion,  he  was  startled  by  sharp  pricking  pains  in  his  hack,  which  he 
tlioughc  to  arise  frotn  pins  in  his  clothing  :  at  the  same  time,  a  dull  hum- 
ming sound  was  heard  to  come  from  the  alpenstocks  of  his  i>arty,  which 
had  been  laid  aside  against  a  rock.  He  soon  discovered  that  both  these 
phenomena  originated  in  a  strong  flow  of  electricity  psssing  from  the 
summit  of  the  mountain.  Some  improvised  experiments  produced  no 
sparks  from  the  slicks,  nor  any  light  that  could  be  seen  in  the  day ;  but 
they  vibrated  strongly  in  the  hand,  whether  held  vertically  or  hori- 
zontally. Strong  currents  were  felt  flowing  from  the  extremities  of  the 
body,  and  the  hair  and  beards  of  the  party  stood  out  straight.  Falling 
sleet  formed  vortices  around  the  points  of  the  rocks,  and  several  claps  of 
distant  thunder  were  heard,  though  no  flash  was  seen.  The  experiences 
on  the  Nevada  were  perfectly  analogous  to  those  on  the  Piz  Surlcy. 
These  discharges  have  been  witnessed  by  other  mountain  climbers,  and 
are  not  uncommon,  though  not  very  frequent,  at  liigh  altitudes.  They 
manifest  a  flow  of  electricity  towards  the  clouds  through  the  most  saUent 
terrestrial  conductors. — An  extraordinary  phenomenon^that  may  pos- 
sibly have  some  analogy  to  the  discharges  alluded  to  in  the  last  para- 
graph, or  that  may  be  an  instance  of  powerful  manifestation  of  the 
terrestrial  gaUunlc  currents  mentioned  above  in  Section,  "  Physical 
Science  " — is  described  in  the  American  jKipets  as  having  been  witnessed 
in  Rochester,  U.S.,  on  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  line.  One  of  the  tele- 
graph wires  was  down  between  Rochester  and  Syracuse,  the  broken  ends 
resting  on  the  ground.  Neither  section  of  the  line  would  wort,  but  a 
continuous  stream  of  electricity  was  observed  to  be  passing  over  the 
wire  through  the  several  instruments,  and  this  while  the  Ixittcries  were 
disconnected.     The  current  presented  rainbow  colours,  and  flowed  in

iravcs  or  undulations,  and  it  was  of  sufficient  strength  to  shocJc  an 
operator  holding  the  wires  or  instruments  in  liis  hanijs.  Uue  could 
msh  for  infonnation  a  little  more  precise. — A.  new  fonu  of  battery,  very 
powerful  in  proportion  to  its  size,  was  exhibited  at  the  Chemical  Socict)', 
on  Feb.  6,  by  Mr.  De  la  Hue  and  Dr.  Mullet.  The  negative  element 
was  ctiloride  of  silver,  fused  around  a  cenual  silver  wire,  which  served 
a&  a  conductor.  The  positive  element  was  a  rod  of  zinc,  not  nece»- 
sarily  amalgaoiated,  and  the  excitiiig  liquid  salt  water.  Ten  of  these 
little  couples,  diree  inches  in  height,  formwl  a  battery  of  such  tension 
that  when  applied  to  decompose  water  a  cubic  inch  of  the  mixed  gases 
was  given  olf  in  about  twenty  minutC5i. — Another  battery,  called  an 
"electric  buoy,"  the  invention  of  M.  Puchcmin,  has  been  experimented 
upon  in  Cherbourg  harhour.  It  consists  of  a  cylinder  of  carbon  and  a 
plate  of  zinc  attached  to  a  piece  of  wood  which  floats  on  the  sea,  the 
salt  water  forming  the  exciting  fluid.  The  uses  to  which  such  a  battery 
may  be  applied  are  manifold,,  says  the  inventor:  it  will  furnish  light  for 
signalling,  a  current  for  telegraphing  about  the  ship,  for  cleansing  the 
bottoms  of  mctal-sheathed  vessels,  or  for  any  other  purpose  to  which  a 
battery  is  usually  devoted. 

Chemistry. — Mr.  Lippencott,  of  Bournemouth,  reports  that  he  has 
used  moistened  silver  leaf  as  a  test  for  ozone  ;  the  surface  of  the  silver 
becoming  oxidi.«d  with  a  rapidity-  and  to  an  extent  varying  with  the 
amount  of  ozone  in  the  atmosphere  to  which  the  leaf  is  exposed. — Pro- 
fessor Den^a,  of  Moncaiieri,  has  been  studying  the  relation  between 
this  clement  and  cholera.  It  has  usually  been  coni^idcred  lliat  when  the 
disease  is  prevalent,  ozone  is  absent ;  but  during  the  autumn  of  last 
year,  when  cholera  was  felt  severely  at  Turin,  Sig.  Denza  found  a  con- 
siderable amount  of  ozone  in  the  atmosphere  of  Moncaiieri,  not  far 
distant.  Atmcspheric  electricity,  however,  did  nut  sliow  itself  during 
the  time, — At  a  meeting  of  the  French  Acatleray,  on  Jan.  a?,  M.  Rcisct 
brought  forwartl  some  cJiemical  researches  on  the  respiration  of  farm 
cattle.  He  had  submitted  the  exhalations  of  calves,  sheep,  &c.,  to  exa- 
mination, and  had  found  a  coasidcnible  quantity  of  jiroto-carbu  retted 
hydrogen  in  the  gaseous  mixture.  Some  calves  fed  only  upon  milk  gave 
forth  vapour  more  nearly  allied  to  that  exhaled  by  the  camivori. 
M.  Reisct  considers  the  formation  of  carburctted  hydrogen  in  the 
stomachs  of  ruminants,  when  upon  their  natural  food,  to  be  a  phe- 
nomenon of  incomplete  combustion.  Generally  he  concludes  that  the 
respiratory  products  depend  much  more  upon  the  nature  of  the  food 
than  upon  «ie  i^edes  of  the  animal. — An  acid  has  been  extracted  from 
the  trunks  of  old  trees,  by  M.  Lefort,  who  has  named  the  product  lylic 
add :  it  presents  itself  in  the  form  of  a  vitreous  hard  black  substance, 
and  is  probably  the  bxsis  of  all  the  compounds  studied  up  to  the  pre- 
sent time  under  the  names  of  ulmic  and  humic  acids. — A  Neapolitan 
Frofessor,  Sig,  de  Luca,  has  been  investigating  some  important  extras 
Uons  from  the  olive  and  the  Australian  myrtle.  When  the  leaves  of  the 
former  are  kepi  in  strong  alcohol  they  lose  water,  and  silky  needle- 
shaped  crystals  appear  upon  their  surfaces-  These  crystals  have  a 
Clint  sweet  taste,  and  in  phybicai  qualities  resemble  mannite.  The 
fhiit  of  the  Australian  myrtle  yields,  by  simple  preHure,  a  fine  violet

Somc  specimens  of  silk  dyed  by  the  blue  colouring  maiter  of  cert 
dead  woods,  were  presented  to,  and  examined  by,  the  French  Acadt 
lately  ;  they  were  sent  by  M.  Romicr  with  a  memoir  on  the  <lye. — H< 
Schroltcr  has  laid  before  the  Vienna  Academy  the  results  of  some  car 
fiilly  conducted  experiments  upon  gas  made  from  the  rciidue  of  tli 
manufacture  of  petroleum ;  it  would  seem  that  this  gas  gives  oflf  Ic

of  the  shell  of  an  eyg  is  removed  by  hydrochloric  acid,  so  as  to  expc

the  opposite  anu  being  duly  counterweigh  ted.  in  half  an  hour  lh« 
weight  of  the  egg  will  have  increased  from  the  passage  of  water  through 
the  membrane.  If  now  the  e^  be  hung  in  alcohol  and  re  balanced, 
it  will  become  lighter  from  dilTusion  of  the  water  into  the  spiriL  The 
diffusion  of  vapour  may  be  exhibited  by  tying  a  diaphragm  of  india- 
rubber — saya  portion  of  a  toy-balloon— over  the  mouth  of  a  funnel,  whereof 
the  small  end  is  in  coummnicaiion,  by  means  of  an  elastic  tube,  with  a 
vessel  of  water.  The  funnel  being  held,  diaphragm  downwards,  over  a 
dish  containing  ether,  without  touching  the  tluid,  the  vapour  will  pass 
rapidly  through  the  septum,  driving  ihc  air  in  bubbles  through  the  water. 

I  If  the  ether  be  then  removed  the  vapour  xvill  return  through  the  dia- 
phiagm  into  the  atmosphere,  producing  a  partial  vacuum  in  the  funnel, 
which  will  be  manifested  by  the  rising  of  the  water  in  the  lube.  Th< 
instructive  expcrimenis  arc  within  the  reach  of  everyone. — A  chemic 
enigma,  the  production  of  oxalic  from  carbonic  acid,  has  at  length  be< 
solved  by  Ur.  Drcschel.  A  mixture  of  pure  sodium  and  dry  sand  ws 
heated  in  a  flask,  and  a  rapid  stream  of  carbonic  acid  passed  over  it 
After  a  few  hours  the  silvery  aspect  of  the  metal  changed  to  3  red,  ai 
subsequently  Co  a  black  mass.  Upon  being  cooled  and  oxidised  h\ 
exposure  to  the  air,  and  then  exhausted  with  water,  a  solution  was  fu 
nished  containing  oxalate  of  sodium.  From  ten  parts  of  sodium  or 
part  of  calcic  oxalate  was  obtained. 


Misceiiasieotts. — We  have  inspected  an  improved  rocket  apparatus  for 
saving  the  cTcws  of  stranded  vessels,  the  iovention  of  Messrs  Kayess 
and  HoirisoD.  OrdinariTy  the  rocket  is  lired  from  the  shore  to  the  dis- 
tressed ship,  at  great  risk  of  failure,  from  the  smallness  of  die  raaik  for 
aim  that  a  distant  vessel  offers.  In  the  improved  plan  matters  are 
reversed  ;  the  shift  carries  the  projectile  and  apparatus,  and  fires  it  on  !■

MADEMOISELLE     MATHILDE. 
By  Henrv  KiNcsLfiv. 


CHAPTER   XLVni. 


THE    LAST  OF    ST.   MALO. 


lATHILDE  had  not  much  trouble.  She  was  at  old  Si. 
MaEo,  and  knew  every  house  in  the  town  ;  and  indeed 
there  were  many  poor  shipwrights'  and  fishermen's 
wives,  both  in  that  quarter  next  the  Sille,  and  in  St. 
Servan,  who  knew  her  also  through  her  good  works.  The  tenants 
of  her  father's  houses  were  a  little  shy  towards  her,  for  there  were 
arrears  of  rent ;  and  unless  history  tics,  there  was  a  general  disincli- 
nation  through  France  for  those  few  years  to  the  paying  of  rem. 
The  first  on  whom  she  called  began  to  talk  about  repairs  i  and  had 
no  room  for  her,  most  unfortunately,  at  that  particular  time.  The 
second  could  have  ukcn  her  in,  but  had  no  room  for  her  servants ; 
but  learning  that  Mademoiselle's  main  object  was  merely  to  hire  a 
carriage,  grew  over-pressingly  polite,  and  reminded  her  of  her  father's 
tenant  and  friend,  Larochc,  the  post-master,  who  would  doubtless 
serve  her.  This  gentleman  was  so  exceedingly  delighted  at  her 
having  said  nothing  about  the  rent,  that  he  insisted  on  accompanying 
her  down  the  street  in  a  scutl-cap,  dressing-gown,  and  slippers,  to 
show  her  a  house  which  she  knew  perfectly  well — quite  as  well  as 
be  did.  "  Hola,  hi !  M.  Laroche,"  he  cried,  when  he  was  opposite 
to  it,  "  here  is  an  old  friend,  indeed  !  "  And  when  Laroche  came

out^  he  kissed  his  hand  to  Mademoiselle,  and  skipped  gracefiilly  back 
again. 

Larochc  came  out,  and  looked  at  them, — a  squzrc-looking  old ' 
man,  whom  Adete  and  she  had  always  disliked,  because  he  was  very  { 
abrupt  and  cross  with  them.     She  said, — 

"  How  do  you  do,  M.  Laroche  ?  " 

He  replied,  "  Now  what  the  devil  brings  j^i?«  here  ?  " 

*'  I  am  only  come  for  a  carriage,  M.  Laroche.  I  suppose  you  will 
let  me  have  one  ? " 

*'  I  suppose  I  had  better.  You  want  an  airing  -,  a  drive  along  the 
Dol  road.     Yes,  I  will  give  you  a  carriage," 

"  I  want  to  go " 

"  S !     You  are  going  to  Dol,  do  you  hear  ?    You  arc  on 

your  first  stage  to  Paris  to  your  father.     Are  you  mad  ?  '* 

"  Certainly,  M.  Laroche,"  said  Mathildc,  with  tact. 

"  When  do  you  wish  to  start  ?  " 

"  I  would  gladly  start  to-night,  but  I  had  better  start  now,  Wc  are^ 
very  tired,  and  have  eaten  nothing,  and  would  gladly  rest  riH  night. 
But  the  Malonins  have  grown  wicked.    They  have  not  only  arrested 
my  English  friend,  but  they  have  insulted  me.    I  had  nothing  to  give 
them  but  scorn,  and  1  gave  them  Chat  until  it  maddened  them." 

"  Come  in  to  Madame  Laroche ;  rest,  and  make  yourselves  at] 
home,"  promptly  replied  Laroche. 

Mathilde  walked  in,  head  in  air,  and  paid  her  compliments  to' 
Madame  Laroche,  whom  she  had  known  all  her  life.     Madame  La- 
roche never  rose  to  receive  her,  but  took  great  pains  in  threading  her 
needle,  saying  to  a  beetle-browed  young  woman  who  was  in  the. 
room, — 

**  These  people  must  cat ;  they  cannot  starve.  If  I  undci^o  sus- 
picion, they  cannot  starve.    What  is  there  in  the  house  for  dinner  ?  ** , 

"  There  is  ham  and  salad,  as  madame  well  knows." 

**  Can  the  daughter  of  the  ci-devant  D'Isigny,  the  Breton,  cat 
that  ? "  asked  Madame  Laroche. 

Mathilde,  seeing  Madame's  intention,  said,  eagerly,— 

"  No,  madame  ;  if  madame  will  allow  me  to  say  so.  Wc  have 
been  very  sea-sick,  and  arc  faint  from  want.  Madame,  if  we  could 
only  have  a  little  cold  chicken,  wc  would  depart  at  once,  and  trouble 
no  one." 

Madame  took  out  of  her  pocket,  after  long  fumbling,  an  /c«,  and 
said  to  th«  beetle-browed  young  woman,-T> 


1868.] 


MadanoiseUe  Mathilde. 


\ 


**  Go  and  buy  her  one,  if  there  be  one  in  this  gmss-ealiiig  town. 
We  owe  her  father  money,  and  she  shall  not  starve." 

The  young  woman  departed,  with  a  curiously  disagreeable  lookj 
and  as  soon  as  she  was  gone  Madame  Larochc,  who  had  been  look- 
ing steadily  at  William,  pointed  her  finger  at  him,  pointed  to  the 
door,  and  then  put  her  hand  against  her  car,  as  if  listening.  William 
did  not  understand  her,  and  stared  stupidly. 

But  Mrs.  Bone  did.  She  quietly  opened  the  door  with  her  right 
hand  and  listened,  then  she  turned  and  nodded  to  Madame  Laroche. 
This  piece  of  really  fine  dexterity  on  the  part  of  Mrs.  Bone  con- 
ftrmcd  William  in  his  foregone  conclusion  that  she  was  the  cleverest 
of  the  lot.  To  his  dying  day  he  used  to  tell  that  &lory,  as  proving 
bow  much  cleverer  women  arc  than  men. 

I'he  instant  after  Mrs.  Hone  had  raised  her  head,  Madame  La- 
roche was  on  Mathilde's  neck. 

"My  well-belovcd,"  she  said,  **  what  madness  is  this?  Why 
have  you  come  here  ?  And  why,  of  all  houses,  did  you  come  to 
this?  Do  you  know  that  we  arc  suspected?  Do  you  know  that 
Laroche  is  a  violent  Ruyalist,  and  that  you  could  nut  possibly  have 
come  to  a  worse  house  ?  " 

"  I  know  nothing  of  these  things,"  said  Mathildc,  simply.  **  I 
only  know  that  1  always  believed  M.  Laroche  to  be  a  very  good 
man;  but  he  "^2.%  always  di^ciU  with  us,  and  so  I  disliked  to  come 
here.     M.  Bcngcr  brought  us." 

I  cannot  reproduce  the  strong  language  which  Madame  Laroche 
used  with  regard  co  M.  Bengcr. 

*'  He  used  to  receive  your  father's  rents,  and  claims  Hen  on  them 
now.  He  would  ruin  us,  as  he  will.  Wc  shall  be  interrogated 
to-morrow  morning  for  your  being  here.  We  talk  republicanism  to 
save  ourselves,  but  they  know  us,  and  we  are  ruined." 

"  I  will  write  to  my  father  un  this,"  said  Mathildc. 

"  That  is  no  use.  Our  time  is  short,  my  well-beloved ;  she  will 
be  back  with  the  chicktn  in  a  moment.  See  here :  where  arc  you 
going  with  your  carriage  ?     Speak  l(^w  :  she  may  be  near." 

"  To  Montauban." 

**  Do  not  go  there.  It  is  surrounded  by  a  cordon  of  patriots.  Go 
to  Paris  to  yuur  father.  Go  and  live  in  the  ruins  of  your  father's 
chateau.  Go  and  live  among  the  wolves  at  La  Garaye.  Go  any- 
where but  thtrt*' 

"  But,  dear  madame,  you  so  kind.     I  promised  my  &thcr.     I

**  Hu«h  !  Here  she  comes,"  said  Madame  Larocbe.  And  the 
beetle-browed  young  lady  came  in  with  the  chicken,  accompanied  by 
M.  Ivirochc. 

It  wai  not  a  very  pleaunt  dinner.     They  all  s«  down  together, 
and  William  tat  next  the  young  woman,  to  whom  he  showed,  in  his 
ilMular  way,  an  extreme  repugnance ;  for  which  he  accounted,  when 
Mrs.  Bone  taxed  him  with  it  afterwards,  by  saying  "*  that  he  see  at 
once  that  she  warn't  no  good."     What  was  wanted  at  this  banquet 
more  than  anything  else,  probably,  was  reticence  of  speech,  in  con- 
sequence of  the  presence  of  the  young  woman  ;    which  material 
MjthiUc  of  course  sup|>Ucd,  by  a  petulant  objurgation  of  the  auth(H 
ritics  who  had  arrested  Sir  Lionel  Somers,  of  the  miserable  deteriora- 
tion of  the  once  good  St.  Malonins,  by  a  burst  of  extreme  anger  at^^ 
hearing  of  the  captivity  <if  the  King,  and  by  many  other  extreme  ^| 
indiscretions,  which  drove  her  host  and  hostess  nearly  mad  with  fear.       ' 
She  entirely,  in  her  strange  way,  counterbalanced  these  indiscretions 
by  saying  that  she  should  write  to  her  friend,  M.  Marat,  to-morrow, 
for  ht  could  know  nothing  of  such  things. 

"  You  know  M.  Marat,  then.  Mademoiselle  \  *'  saJd  Laroch^ 
almost  eagerly. 

"Oh,  )%&,"  said  Maihilde.  "  He  and  I  arc  very  old  friends.  Re 
is  very  fond  of  me,  and  I  of  him,  though  I  have  often  been  scolded 
for  liking  him." 

**  Ho  is  A  good  patriot,  Mademoiselle,"  said  Laroche. 

'*  Yes.      He,  hkc  myself,  loves  the  people.      He  is  a  good 
th^Hi;|h  strange  in  his  ways.     I  also  am  strange  in  my  ways.

Mademoiselle  Mathilda.

"  Get  her  away  from  there,  aiici  bring  her  here  to  one  of  your 
father's  houses.  She  is  in  great  danger.  Among  the  Malumns,  and 
with  your  friendship  for  Marat,  you  may  save  her.  Mind  what  I 
say  i  I  dare  say  no  more.  Now,  wait  quietly  for  your  carri^e,  and 
commit  no  more  indiscretions." 

Late  in  the  evening  the  carriage  was  waiting  on  the  quay,  and  her 
Jighter  luggage  had  been  passed  and  fetched ;  so  she  went  out.  There 
was  a  very  curious  crowd  assembled  round  it,  prominent  among 
which  was  the  very  advanced  patriot  with  whom  we  made  acquaint- 
ance two  years  or  more  ago.  He  was  dirtier  than  before,  but  much 
the  same.  The  respectable  man  whom  wc  called  the  Girondist  was 
there  also,  but  was  not  in  any  great  reiiucst. 

"  Here  she  comes,*'  said  the  advanced  patriot.  "  This  is  the 
daughter  of  D'Isigny  (he  Breton,  now  at  last  a  patriot,  the  friend  of 
the  aminble  Marat.  See  her,  and  respect  her.  She  is  the  nurse  of 
Marat,  and  the  friend  of  the  people.     Know  her  again." 

If  her  mother  couM  only  have  heard  them  I 

She  was  as  safe  among  them  as  if  she  had  been  in  the  Tower  of 
London ;  for  by  all  I  can  gather,  the  power  of  that  wonderful  wolf, 
Marat,  had  travelled  even  as  far  westward  as  this.  Another  thing 
made  her  safe.  D'Isigny  was  a  Malonin,  and  they  attended  to  what 
he  did  jn  Paris.  iMalonin  patriots  had  brought  or  sent  word  that 
D'Isigny  had  been  seen  in  communication  with  -Marat  on  distinctly 
two  occasions,  and  in  most  fricjidly  talk  with  Robespierre  on  certainly 
one ;  they  also  knew  that  he  hnd  been  grossly  insulted  in  the  Con- 
ciergerie  by  the  aristocrats.  D'Isigny  was  turning  to  the  people, 
said  the  men  patriots;  the  women  would  not  believe  a  word  of  it. 
Had  it  not  been  for  these  fects,  I  fear  that  MathUde  would  never 
have  been  allowed  to  go  on  to  Montauban. 

When  Mrs.  Bone  had  got  hoisted  in,  and  William  was  on  the 
box,  M.  Larochc  said  to  the  postilion, — 

«*  Dot." 

"  Not  at  all,"  said  Mathildc,  very  loudly  ;  "  I  do  not  want  to  go 
to  that  dirty  old  place  at  all.  You  and  your  Dols  again.  I  want  to 
go  to  Montauban,  the  scat  of  my  brother-in-law,  the  Marquis  de 
Valognes,  He  must  go  first  to  Dlnan,  where  he  must  change 
horses,  and  then  by  Vasansdirc  and  Vaurien  southward  to  Mojit- 
auban,  the  only  decent  house  left  in  the  country,  as  it  seems  to  mc. 
It  is  owe  thiiig  for  these  patriots  to  have  burnt  my  father's  chateau, 
though  they  might  have  spared  that^  I  think,  but  it  is  quite  another

[April, 


for  them  to  have  burnt  La  Garayc  ;  that  has  ruined  their  cause  for 
ever.     I  am  to  be  driven  to  Monrauban." 

Rather  too  emphatic  a  young  lady  lo  be  trusted  to  her  own  guid* 
ance  in  France  in   1792.     But  she  was  tjuiie  safe.     The  advanced 
patriots  rather  liked  temper  aiiil  emphasis:  and  Marat's  name  wool 
have  carried  her  through  anything. 

Said  one,  **  She  is  aristocrat  at  heart  still.'* 

Said  another,  "  She  never  was  aiistocrat.  I  know  that  her  father^ 
before  he  came  to  the  people,  set  her  penances  for  talking  the  merestj 
pure  patriotism." 

Said  the  first,  "  There  are  to  be  arrests  made  at  Montauban  soon; 
that  pear  is  ripe." 

Said  the  second,  "  It  is  true  ;  but  it  is  in  the  circle  of  Rennes.    It 
is  no  business  of  ours," 

Said  another,  *'  But  she  Is  good  patriot,  though  extremely  indis-^ 
erect.     Would  it  not  be  as  well  to  send  to  the  Rennes  committeCj 
and  tell  them  that  this  woman  is  good  patriot  ? " 

Another  said,  *' The  Rennes  men  are  but  half-hearted  dogs;' 
they  arc  not  with  the  people  or  with  the  Revolution." 

"  But  the  woman  will  be  arrested,"  said  the  first  speaker. 

*'  Let  her  be  arrested,"  said  our  original  advanced  patriot,  who' 
had  cursed  Andre  Desilles.     '•'•  She  is  safer  in  arrest,  for  she  is  very' 
indiscreet.     She  is  a  good  woman,  but  she  is  better  in  prison  than 
out  of  it.     If  she  is  arrested  by  the  Rennes  or  central  committee^ 
wc  can  act  then.     Leave  it  alone." 

And  so  they  did  not  send  any  one  even  to  answer  for  Mathilde's 
identity. 


CHAPTER  XLIX. 


MA    S<EUK. 


Mrs.  Bone  went  to  sleep  habitually  in  positions  which  would 
have  appeared,  to  any  one  not  so  used  to  her  as  Mathildc,  to  be  ir 
possible.  On  this  night's  journey  she  surpassed  herself.  She  seemed^ 
to  slumber  most  peacefully  when  going  at  full  speed  over  a  paved' 
road,  while  all  Mathilde's  teeth  were  chattering  in  her  head,  and  she 
was  holding  on  by  the  seat ;  on  the  other  hand,  when  the  carriage) 
entered  the  turf  avenue  of  Montauban,  near  the  middle  of  the  night,' 
and  began  to  roll  nearly  in  dead  silence  over  the  grass,  Mrs.  Bone 
woke  up  and   got  very  lively,  waking  up  Mathilde,  who  was  nt 


1 868.] 


Mademoiselle  Maikilde. 


dozing  olF.     At  the  same  time  William  leant  back  into  the  carriage 
and  said : 

"  Wc  arc  near  the  castle,  mademoiselle ;  if  you  stand  up  you  can 
«ee  it." 

So  she  stood  up  and  looked  at  it.  Styx  and  Cocytus  \  what  an 
awful  place  !  She  shuddered,  and  laid  her  hand  on  the  young  man's 
shoulder. 

They  had  come  up  the  eastern  avenue,  and  the  moon  was 
westering  and  sinking  behind  the  fantastic  pinnacles  ;  the  whole 
building  which  rose  above  their  path  and  barred  it,  was  as  black  as  a 
hearse  ;  and  crowning  the  catafalque,  rushed  up  the  great  dominant 
slate-roofed  tower,  between  them  and  such  dim  light  as  there  was  in 
heaven.     Mathilde  shuddered  and  sat  down  once  more. 

They  were  not  expected,  and  the  household  was  in  bed.  William's 
ring  at  the  bell  broke  the  midnight  silence,  and  set  a  wolf,  which  was 
prowling  among  the  gaudy  flower-beds  in  the  darkness,  howling. 
He  was  answered  by  others  in  the  forest,  until  night  was  hideou9.| 
Mrs.  Bone  clutched  hold  of  Mathilde,  saying: 

"The  dogs  arc  howling,  my  dear,  and  there  is  death  in  the 
house." 

Mathilde  said,  quietly :  "  It  is  only  the  wolves,"  which  by  no 
means  reassured  Mrs.  Bone. 

At  last  there  appeared  lights,  travelling  from  window  to  window, 
as  if  through  long  corridors  ;  and,  after  a  long  parley,  the  door 
was  opened  by  n  hastily-dressed  footman,  and  they  were  received  by 
the  old  major-domo  and  another. 

**  Tell   Madame   la    Marquise   that    her   sister  is   come,"   said' 
Mathilde  \  *^and  take  us  to  a  room  with  a  Brc.     Is  Father  Martin 
here  \     If  he  is,  awake  him ;  and  tell  him  I  am  here." 

The  old  major-domo  despatched  one  young  man  to  arouse  the 
necessary  servants,  and  another  to  put  in  motion  the  extremely 
elaborate  machinery  necessary  for  awakening  the  Marquise.  Mean- 
while, he  himself  attended  on  our  somewhat  dazed  and  scared 
party,  and  showed  them  into  a  drawing-room,  which  opened  into 
another  drawing-room,  and  then  into  a  picture-gallery,  and  then 
into  a  banquetting-hall,  and  then  into  Lord  knows  what  \  but  which 
had  an  ort  of  fire  still  burning  in  one  of  its  grates. 

The  majo-domo  excused  himself  while  he  made  up  the  fire  and 
lighted  wax -candles. 

"Mademoiselle  had  not  been  expected.     He  hoped  that  Made-

moiselle  would  not  compkm  to  La  Miirquise,  or  still  worse  to  her 
mother,  for  her  reception.  The  necessary  women  would  be  with 
her  immediately;  the  necessary  young  men  would  be  aroused.  He 
hoped,  nay,  he  felt  sure,  that  Mademoiselle  would  send  in  her 
complaint  through  Father  Martin." 

''I  have  no  complaint,"  she  said,  in  French,  somewhat  wearily. 
"  Bone,*'  she  added  in  English,  "  I  should  go  mad  in  this  house." 

Mrs.  Bone  suhmittcd  th.it  she  had  hardly  been  in  it  long  enough 
to  know  her  own  mind,  and  that  she  thought  it  beautiful. 

"  I  daresay  you  do,*'  said  Mathildc^  "  but  then  I  don't.  Sarin- 
seatcd  chairs,  wolves  in  the  flower-garden,  and  the  peasantry 
starvijig,  don't  happen  to  suit  mc.  Well,  we  arc  all  as  God  made 
us.  I  like  line  things  as  well  as  another,  Bone.  Let  you  and  i 
look  at  these,  for  they  say  that  there  arc  none  such  in  the  world. 
Adclc  will  be  cross  at  my  coming,  and  w*il]  not  come  down  to-night. 
Talcc  that  candle,  and  let  us  look  at  these  fine  things  until  they 
give  us  supper,  or  show  us  our  beds.  William,  you  stay  exactly 
where  you  are,  mid  don't  move  yuur  feet ;  you  should  not  have  come 
on  these  Turkey  carpets  at  all  with  your  boots." 

William  said  that  he  thought  so  himself;  and  asked  whether  he 
had  not  better  go  Into  the  passage,  as  he  called  the  marble  corridor. 

"Well,"  said  Mathtlde,  "you  will  hurt  the  carpet  by  wallcii^ 
over  it,  but  as  you  can't  stand  where  you  are  for  ever,  and  must 
go  out  some  time  or  another,  you  had  better  go  out  at  once."  So 
William  went. 

Mathildc  and  Mrs.  Bone  rambling  through  a  wilderness  of  luxury 
greater  thaji  Blenheim  or  Chatsworth,  must  have  been  something 
worth  seeing.  Mrs,  Bone  highly  approved  of  it,  and  said  it  was 
*'' Noble,"  as  indeed  it  was,  in  a  way,  but  had  remarks  to  make 
about  the  state  of  the  iire-grates,  and  of  the  droppings  of  wax- 
candles  on  priceless  carpels ;  during  which  she  alluded  to  certain 
imaginary  idle  sluts  and  husseys.  Mathildc,  whose  whole  heart  was 
waiting  for  her  sistor,  was  querulous  and  anxious. 

"  I  have  no  patience  with  this  wicked  old  uncle  of  Louis',  Bone, 
He  has  out-Hcrodcd  Herod  in  his  extravagance.  Just  look  at  the 
suite  of  this  ante-room,  will  you?     Just  look  at  this  sofa,  will  you?" 

Mrs.  Bone  did,  but  did  not  seem  to  be  any  the  wiser. 

*'  It  is  all  tent-stitch  Gobelin,  and  he  has  worked  it  up  into  fur- 
niture. I  never  heard  of  such  a  thing  in  my  life  ;  and  you  complain 
of  your  revolution  !  "

Mademoiselle  Mathilde. 


Mrs.  Bone  had  not  done  so,  but  she  thought  that  the  suite  of 
rooms  was  very  beautiful.  And  so  she  went  on  holding  a.  candle 
before  Mathildc  from  one  room  to  another,  iii  one  of  the  most 
splendid  houses  in  France  or  in  Europe. 

"  Beautiful;  yes,"  said  Mathildc.  "The  devil  is  handsome.  It 
does  not  suit  me.     It  is  all  dark  and  cold  to  me." 

Dark  and  cold  no  longer:  for  stupid  old  Bone,  rambling  with 
Mathildc  among  n  wildcrnc&s  of  sofas,  satin  and  other,  had  said, 
"here  is  somebody;"  and  she  had  held  her  light  towards  that 
somebody.  And  who  was  that  somebody  \  A  little  creature  more 
beautiful  than  mom,  just  roused  from  her  iimoccnt  bed,  with  her 
bright  hair  all  abroad,  dressed  in  loose,  flowing  white.  And  this 
little  creature  suddenly  cast  herself  into  the  arms  of  Mathildc,  and 
laid  the  glory  of  her  hair  across  Mathildc's  broad  bosom  ;  and  Adele 
said  only — "  Ma.  sccur  1  ma  socur  1 " 

And  Mathilde  said — "  Ma  bien  aimee  !  ma  bicn  aimt-e  I  how  did 
I  ever  do  without  you  ? " 


CHAPTER  I^ 


THE    LAST  MIGHT, 


"  I  THOUGHT  you  lovcd  me  no  longer,"  said  Mathildc,  turning  up 
the  beautiful  face  towards  hers,  and  gazing  down  upon  it. 

*'  You  speak  false  !  "  replied  Adclc,  looking  up.  *'  You  know 
very  well  chat  you  never  thought  anything  of  the  sort,  you  dear 
old  foolish  \  and  that  very  foolish  old  Bone,  who  traitorously  used 
to  carry  my  love-letters  to  Louis.  Kor  you  two  to  come  here 
in  the  dead  of  night,  like  revolutionists  !  We  believed  that  jt 
was  an  arrest.  My  dearly  beloved,  come  to  the  light  and  the 
warmth,  and  let  mc  love  you." 

The  two  sisters  wandered  back  through  the  long  rooms  towards 
the  one  where  the  fire  was  burning  and  the  supper  was  preparing, 
with  their  heads  close  together.  What  did  they  say  ?  Very  little, 
or  nothing.  They  were  content  without  speech,  those  two.  And 
when  they  came  into  the  lighted  room,  lo  1  there  was  Father  Mai  tin, 
with  bis  back  against  thv  mantel-piece,  looking  at  them.  Mathilde 
had  the  pretty  head  upon  her  bosom,  and  had  her  left  hand  twined 
among  the  curls  which  crowned  it ;  but  she  had  a  right  hand 
ready  to  stretch  out  to  Father  Martin,  and  he  took  the  long  white 
fingers  in  his  hand,  and  put  them  to  his  lips.

**  I  am  in  my  old  home  now.  Father,"  said  Adelc,  quietly.     *'  1 
am  safe  here — I  want  no  mother  now.      She  was  always  my 
mother." 

"  I  am  content  to  die  if  you  will  only  speak  to  me  like  that," 
said  Mathilde.     *' Father  Martin,  how  do  you  do?" 

*'  A  great  deal  better  than  I  deserve,  my  dear.  I  have  been 
staying  here  in  idleness  and  luxury,  waiting  for  your  arrival, 
when  I  ought  to  have  been  at  Nantes.  My  father  is  dead,  and  I 
heard  of  his  death  before  his  iUness,  or  I  should  have  been  away 
before  i  but  he  being  dead,  1,  not  having  been  able  to  see  him 
alive,  have  left  details  to  my  sister.  I  have  delayed  on  here  because 
mine  was  the  only  sound  head  in  this  house,  I  go  to-morrow, 
because,  in  consetjuence  of  your  arrival,  I  can  leave  another  sound 
head  here  to  manage  matters." 

"  Don't  be  an  old   disagreeable,**  said   Adele,  looking  up  fi 
Mathilde's  bosom. 

"  I  am  speaking  to  your  sister,  not  to  you,"  said  Father  Martin. 
*'  There  arc  no  servants  present  at  this  moment,  and  our  good 
Bone  docs  no:  understand  French  j  my  time  to-morrow  momiltg 
will  be  short,  and  so  I  wIEl  speak  now.  Your  mother  has  made  thb 
the  most  suspicious  house  in  the  country,  the  centre  of  a  reactionary 
plot,  the  details  of  which  arc  in  possession  of  every  revolutionist  for 
miles  around.  The  revolutionists  arc  merely  waiting  until  the  pear 
b  ripe,  and  then  they  will  pluck  it.  The  plot  has  been  betrayed  four 
times  over  ;  any  one  but  a  fuultsh  person  would  have  known  it. 
Your  mother  has  risked  alt  our  lives,  if  she  has  not  lose  them.  1 
might  have  stayed  here  a  little  longer,  but  I  go  to  my  sister,  and  to 
arrest.  I  go  to-morrow,  and  leave  all  this  fotly  in  your  hands  to 
manage.  If  you  can  manage  your  mother,  it  is  more  than  I  can. 
What  is  the  matter  now  ?  " 

Adele  had  Taken  her  head  from  Mathilde's  bosom  ;  Mathildc  had 
straightened  herself,  and  was  looking  over  Father  Martin's  shoulder, 
with  terror  in  her  eyes.  Mrs.  Bone  had  plunged  herself  into  the 
lowest  depth  of  inane  and  imbecile  terror  ;  for  Madame  D'Isigny  had 
slid  in  and  had  placed  herself  behind  Father  Martin;  and  all  gaum 
and  grey,  listening  to  every  word  he  said,  awful,  magnificent,  and 
terrible. 

Martin,  following  the  direction  of  the  eyes,  turned  round  and 
her.     He  burst  out  laughing. 

"  Madame,"  he  said,  "  you  play  this  trick  loo  often.     You

it  well,  this  csup  de  thedtreyhut  you  do  it  too  often.  Can  you  under- 
stand me  when  1  say  that  you  do  it  coo  often  ?  Can  you  under- 
stand mc  when  I  say  that  you  make  yourself  ridiculous  ?  " 

Madame  could  understand  being  lidiculuus  lu  him  ;  but  her  object 
just  now  was  her  daughter  Mathilde.  She  stood  like  a  tall,  grey 
pillar,  staring  straight  at  her,  and  took  00  more  notice  of  Martin's 
words  than  if  a  dog  had  barlccd. 

He  went  on  explaining  the  utter  hopelessness  of  the  plot  of 
Montauban,  and  she  waited  in  firm  contemptuous  silence  until  he 
had  done.  She  would  not  speak,  and  she  beat  him  by  that  manoeuvre, 
as  he  well  knew. 

**'  God  help  them  all,"  he  said,  as  he  went  away.  "  I  can  do 
nothing  more."     And  so  he  went  to  his  bed. 

Madame,  after  he  was  gone,  sat  down  and  spoke.  "  A  good 
man,"  she  said,  **  a  pure,  true-hearted,  noble  man,  who  gives 
example  to  us  all ;  but  too  cautious.  He  cannot  sec  that  wc  must 
risk  all,  or  perish.  A  good  man  !  My  dear  Mathilde,  come  here 
and  kiss  your  old,  cruel,  fierce  mother,  who  loves  you  well,  and 
who  is  risking  her  life  for  king  and  for  church." 

Mathilde  approached  her  mother  deliberately,  and  when  she  stooped 
over  her  did  a  somewhat  odd  thing — but  she  was  odd.  She  took  her 
mother's  face  in  her  two  hands  and  looked  into  it.  Then  she 
stooped  and  kissed  her,  and  said  :  "  You  are  not  cruel,  you  have  a 
good  fece,  mother.  1  will  help  you  in  this  matter,  for  I  am  sworn 
to  my  father  about  it ;  but  wc  muse  both  try  to  save  Adclc." 

Madame  D'lsigny  immediately  rose.  **You  have  looked  at  mc," 
she  said, "let  me  look  at  you."  Mathilde  at  once  found  her  mother's 
powerful  hands  laid  on  her  (w»  shoulders,  and  her  mother's  strange 
squaic  face,  now  perfectly  quiet,  peering  down  into  hers.  She  looked 
steadily  into  that  dreaded  face,  to  sec  if  the  inspection  was  satis- 
feciory;  hut  the  face  showtd  no  sign.  She  only  said,  *' There  is 
power  there,  my  child.  I  wish  we  had  known  one  another  sooner. 
It  was  your  father's  fault.     We  will  make  acquaintance  now." 

Alas,  no,  Madame. 

A  white-capped  nurse  came  in,  and  said  that  M.  le  Vicomtc 
was  awake;  and  Adele  said,  "AW,  my  sweetest  Mathilde,  you  shall 
see  baby." 

Mathilde,  full  of  eagerness,  curiosity,  and  tenderness,  went  and 
saw  the  melancholy  baby,  and  believed  in  him :  a  thing  she  had 
scarcely  done  before,  for  some  things  are  so  passing  experience  to

some  minds,  that  thejr  are  scarcely  really  believed  in  until  seen.  She 
had  got,  through  the  force  of  her  intellect,  to  understand  and  believe 
that  Adclc  was  a  marchioness  with  30,000/.  a  year,  velvet-piled 
carpets,  tent*stitch  Gobelins  tapestry  worked  up  into  furniture^  and  tl 
Dc  Valogncs  emeralds  ;  but  that  Adcle  had  actually  had  a  live  ba 
had  been  hitherto  unrealised.  There  he  was,  though,  with  his  quauiit, 
little,  peaked  face  on  his  pillow.  And  so  Mathildc  and  Adele  went 
to  bed  together  for  the  last  time,  with  the  melancholy  baby  between 
them. 

"  My  sister,'*  said  Mathildc  once  in  the  night,  "  I  wish  to  sleep 
that  I  may  rise  to  sec  Father  Martin  before  he  starts  for  Nantes. 
But  I  cannot." 

'■'■  Let  us  wake  and  talk,  then,"  said  Adcle.  "  It  is  only  the 
wolves  in  the  forest:  you  will  soon  be  used  to  them  here.  Miithilde, 
I  will  try  to  make  you  happy  here ;  1  think  that  I  am  wiser  and  better 
than  I  was.  Have  you  quite  forgiven  mc  all  my  old  petulance  and 
Hiffitulu'?*' 

**  I  never  had  any  to  forgive,  crown  and  object  of  my  life, 
a&k  such  a  question  to-jitght  ?     Hark  at  the  wolves  again  !  "

CHAPTER  LI. 

A    LA   LOIRE. 

^'Let  us  get  up  and  walk  with  him  a  Hnle  way,"  said  Mathilde 
to  Adcle.     "  I  should  like  to  see  the  last  of  him." 

*^  The  last  of  him  !  "  said  Adele  \  "  he  returns  as  soon  as  he  has 
administered   his  father's  afFairs.      He  is  only  going  to  Nantes  to^^ 
help  his  sister.     But  we  will  see  him  ofF."  ^H 

So  in  the  early  clear  morning,  they  rose  to  get  him  his  coffee,  and 
see  him  on  his  way.  He  chanted  primes  for  the  Breton  household 
in  the  chapel,  and  then  over  his  coffee  with  them  he  discoursed 
pleasantly  of  many  things. 

"  My  sweet  Adeic,  be  as  cautious  as  you  can,  and  listen  to  jrc 
old  Mathildc.     No  one  loves  you  better  than  she ;  and  has  she 
come  to  sec  you,  and  has  thereby  got  Sir  Lionel  arrested  ?     Listen 
to  her." 

"  I  care  for  no  one  any  longer  now  that  she  is  here,"  rcpU 
Adcle,  nodding  her  head  very  rapidly.  **  And  when  Lionel  comes 
shall  be  stronger  still.     I'hey  will  not  detain  him  long."

"  Oh,  no,"  said  Mathildc  ;  "  it  is  only  some  informality  in  his 
papers,  and  you  will  &oon  be  back,  you  know." 

'*  Well,  my  children,  I  cannot  say.  I  go  from  this  dangerously- 
marked  house,  to  a  still  more  dangerous  town.  It  is  totally  im- 
possible for  any  man  to  say  one  word  about  his  movements  in  these 
times.  The  people  of  Nantes  arc  notoriously  enraged,  and  there  is 
very  little  doubt  that  I  shall  be  arrested." 

They  both  began  to  weep. 

"  But  my  hands  are  so  clean.  They  can  scarcely  put  the  banish- 
ment in  force  together  against  «/,  one  would  think.  1  wish  your 
mother  had  been  more  cautious.  Keep  cheerful  hearts,  my  daughters, 
watching  and  praying.  Arise  and  let  us  walk  \  I  have  far  to  go, 
and  will  walk  to  avoid  suspicion." 

They  partly  dried  their  tears  and  went  with  him.  Strange  figures 
to  our  eyes  now,  with  scanty  gowns  scarcely  big  enough  in  the  skitt 
to  let  their  feet  move  freely,  large  hat-bonnets  and  scarves :  figures 
which  would  be  laughed  at  now  by  the  mob;  and  yet  inside  those 
clothes  were  two  women  much  the  same  as  we  have  all  of  us  known 
in  our  own  experience,  but  tuned,  by  the  necessities  of  the  times  as 
it  were,  to  concert  pitch. 

They  went  ilutccring  ia  these,  to  us,  quaint  garments  down  the 
long  south  ride,  one  on  each  side  of  Kaiher  Martin  ;  the  rabbits,  the 
hares,  and  the  pheasants  ran  across  their  path,  and  Father  Martin 
jocularly  reminded  Adcle  of  his  first  backslidings  with  regard  to  the 
game  so  many  months  ago  now,  and  of  her  perfectly  unfounded 
suspicions  of  him.  But  his  jocularity  fell  dead,  for  Adcic  only  took 
his  arm,  and  looked  up  in  his  face  with  an  expression  slightly  more 
miserable  than  that  of  her  own  babyj  and  she  could  look  so  intensely 
miserable,  poor  little  thing,  that  no  man  except  her  father  ever  made 
her  look  so  twice.  They  went  along  under  the  springy,  thymy 
turf,  between  the  walls  of  forest  and  copse,  more  silently  after  this  ; 
and  at  last  arrived  at  the  little  liitl  from  which  Father  Martin  had 
looked  on  the  Loire  with  the  old  forester,  and  they  sat  down  among 
the  breezy  trees  and  talked  awhile,  until  he  arose  and  said  that  it 
was  time  to  start  southward. 

Before  them  lay  the  dccply-woodcd  country,  bc}'ond  it  the  dimly- 
seen  sand-banks  of  the  Loire,  and  beyond  the  Loire,  creeping  steadily 
up  against  the  fitful  summer  wind  from  the  north,  great  alp-like 
thunder-clouds. 
1        Mathtldc  broke  into  one  of  those,  for  her  rare,  fits  of  onotion ;

which  though  much  less  loud  than  those  of  Adcle,  were  so  much 
more  powerful,  nay,  even  terrible.  Her  great  chest  shook  with 
emotion,  and  her  face  was  tortured,  yet  she  was  tearless.  Poor 
Adele  broke  into  wild  wailing,  foolishly  asking  thera  both  to  forgive 
her,  all,  everything,  she  knew  not  what.  There  was  a  fluttering  in 
the  nerves  of  Father  Martin's  face  for  one  instant,  and  then  it  was 
gone.  His  religion  had  trained  him  well.  He  lightly  laid  his  hand 
on  each  of  their  shoulders,  and  said  : 

"  What  ?  mean  ye  to  weep  and  break  my  heart  ?  for  I  am  ready 
nut  to  be  bound  only,  but  to  die  at  Jerusalem  for  the  name  of  the 
Lord  Jesus." 

And   they  had  only  to  say,  seeing  that  he  would  not  be 
suaded,  *'  The  will  of  the  Lord  be  done." 

And  so  he  blessed  them,  and  left  them  aloft  among  the  trees  on 
the  breezy  Icnoll,  and  went  south  towards  the  sand-banks  of  the  Loire, 
and  towards  the  great  thunder-pile  which  was  rising  from  beyond  it. 

They  heard  him  singing  as  he  went,  as  he  was  wont  to  do  as  he 
walked,  and  singing  welt.  Not  a  chant,  but  a  kind  of  tune  like 
some  of  those  very  strange  single  time  German  waltz.es,  which  are 
so  strangely  sad  and  wild,  and  of  which  Strauss  was  master.  I  know 
what  he  sang,  though  they  did  not : — 

"  Urb*  Syaii,  titdyu  luiris,  et  cJila  littore  tuto, 
Tc  pcto,  ic  Colo,  tc  tlngro.  colo,  caulo,  saluto : 
\ec  racriUs  pcto ;  lum  mentis  mclo  mortc  peril* : 
Ncc  Ktioons  tego,  quod  ineiitb  ^o  lilius  inc." 

And  so  singing 

"  Oh,  mca  ips,  mea,  lu  .Sjron  Aum,  ctiuior  nuro^ 
AgmiDC  tplenilidii,  iiUns  ducc  l3orida  ])erpc(e  Luiio,"   . 

he  disappeared  into  the  wood,  and  was  gone. 

Let  me  borrow  some  more  glorious  words,  they  are  so  inftnitelj, 
finer  than  any  which  I  can  give  you. 

"And  they  wept  sore.  Sorrowing  most  of  all  for  the  words  which 
he  spake,  that  they  should  see  his  face  no  more." 

What  words  kept  ringing  in  Mathildc's  ears  as  she  walked  beside 
weeping  Adcle  up  the  grass  ride!  There  was  the  flaming  red  and 
purple  chateau  towering  above  the  trees,  straight  before  her.  Why 
did  she  keep  thinking  of  a  wild  wet  day  among  the  dim  English 
downs,  with  a  ringing  English  hymn,  contending  with  the  dull  fu 
of  the  English  weather  ?     What  were  the  place  and  dme  which

was  trying  to  recall  ?  She  saw  it  in  a  moment :  It  was  the  little 
chapel  under  the  down,  on  the  day  when  Lionel  came  to  her.  And 
what  were  the  words  which  were  trying  to  force  themselves  on  her 
memory  ?  The  words  came  also :  they  were  the  words  which 
Evans  the  dissenter  had  preached  on  that  very  day. 

**  I  will  lay  my  soul  bare  before  you.  1  find  no  assurance  in  the 
Book  that  those  who  have  loved  here  will  meet  in  glory  ;  and  what 
is  glory  to  me  without  the  beloved  of  my  heart  ?  " 

So  she  quoted  it  from  memory.  And  during  what  came  to  her, 
this  was  the  bincrcst  thing  &he  had  to  sufTer,  the  thoughc  that  ihcy 
would  not  meet  after.  *''I  would  die  for  them,  but  shall  we  meet

France,  particularly  ac  the  edge  of  reactionary  Brittany,  was  then, 
was  quite  enough  to  tnoke  his  open  departure  into  a  caius  htUi.  He 
would  have  staid  on  had  he  known  the  state  of  matters  outside  the 
forest,  but  he  did  not ;  or  at  least  did  not  appreciate  it  fully.  He 
little  thought  that  by  his  innocent  departure  he  brought  down  ruin. 

The  old  simile  of  the  little  bird  flying  from  the  edge  of  the 
avalanche,  and  bringing  it  crashing  down,  is  somewhat  worn,  but  it 
must  serve  yet  once  more. 

The  crash  might  have  been  delayed^  of  that  there  is  little  doubt, 
but  that  the  bolt  was  ready  to  hurl  is  perfectly  indubitabte,  and  that 
their  policy  was  perfectly  prepared  was  also  indubitable.  Their  plan 
was  not  badly  conceived.  They  had  no  wish  to  hrtak  up  Moat- 
auban,  it  was  hi  too  warm  a  nest  of  royalism  to  be  broken  up  yet. 
fiut  one  thuig  had  been  seen  by  the  Central  Committee  in  Paris. 
Louis  de  Valogncs  was  safe  in  their  hands ;  but  his  wife  was  still  at 
Montauban,  doubtless  communicating  with  her  husband  by  secret 
means,  and  her  husband  had  free  communication  with  other  Royalists 
in  the  prison,  who  had  communication  with  the  frontier  in  spite  of 
all  their  cfTorts.    Brittany  was  most  dangerous,  and  must  be  watched.

Montauban  wras  the  very  hot-bed  of  royalism,  preside  over  by  the' 
notoriously  infuriated  Madame  D'lsigny.     And  so  it  just  happened, 
if  you  will  think  it  over,  that  our  poor  little  Adele  was  looked  on 
by  them  as  one  of  the  principal  sources  of  communication  between 
Brituny  and  CoUcnt?..  ^J 

Thcy^  therefore,   wanted    her.     Montauban,  Madame   n*lsigny,^| 
La  Rochejacquclin,  Charrctte,  might  wait.     They  wanted  ihis  poor      ' 
little  Marquise  of  ours,  whom  they  suspected  of  being,  quite  wror^- 
fully  but  mosx.  naturally,  one  of  the  most  important  of  the  carrier- 
pigeons  between  Brittany  and  Coblentz, — they  wanted  her,  I  say, 
under  lock  and  key. 

The  order  of  the  mother  society  to  her 'daughters  ran  somewhat 
like  this  :— *^  On  the  first  sign  of  movement  at  Montauban,  arrest 
Madame  i«  i//jon/ de  VaJogiitS.     She  can  bring  her  child  and  one 
attendant.     Treat  her  justly,  for  she   is  probably  innocent.     Shi 
goes  to  the  Abbaye,  and  not  to  her  husband." 

Adele  had  very  little  idea  of  her  importance.  She  went  to 
with  her  hal>y  the  night  after  Father  Martin's  dcp.irturc  quite  com- 
fortably. Mathilde  also,  sleeping  in  her  own  room  this  n^ht,  went 
up  to  it,  but  instead  of  going  to  bed,  followed  aji  evil  old  habit  of 
hers,  of  sitting  up  in  her  room,  and  gossiping  with  Mrs.  Bone 
about  the  pigs  and  the  poultry,  and  the  corn  and  the  turnips,  across 
the  water  there  at  Sheepsdcn.  Bone  to-night  added  her  mite  to  the 
cntcrtammcnts  by  speculating  as  to  whether  or  not  they  had  hung 
Sir  Lionel  yet,  or  whether  he  would  be,  as  she  put  it,  *'  remunded.** 

"You  stupid  old  Bone,"  she  said.     "  He  is  only  detained  about 
his  papers  :  he  will  be  here  to-morrow  at  latest."

The  Lady  Superior,  who  had  knocked  up  an  impromptu  di 
tory  in  a  disused  gallery,  declaring  that  after  so  many  years  she 
not  sleep  without  company,  was  sleeping  among  her  nuns,  or  rather 
at  one  end  of  thLiti,  for  the  had  taken  the  bed  next  the  door,  in  the 
draught,  as  a  sheepdog's  duty  over  nine  ugly  old  women.     There 
had  been  a  few  alarms   of  wolves  from   Sister  Pavida,   and  Sister 
Podagra's  corns  had  made  her  more  querulous  than  usual  j  but  they

woman,  with  her  stern  face  looking  at  her  glass,  but  not  into  it : 
with  her  lung  grey  hair  all  about  her  shoulders?  Beautiful  and 
awful !  That  is  Madame  D'lsigtiy.  Who  is  ihis  beautiful,  bright- 
haired  girl  who  is  combing  that  hair?  That  is  Madame's  innocent 
little  maid  :  the  girl  whom  ihc  tipsy  young  Mameluke  saw  asleep 
and  fled  before.     Madame  liked  pretty  things  about  her. 

As  the  hair-dressing  went  on  Madame  looked  into  the  glass,  to  see 
the  beautiful  f.tcc  of  her  littlt;  maid  :  and  she  said,  suddenly — 

"1  was  handsomer  once  thui  you  ever  will  bej  but  he  never 
loved  mc." 

The  French  gir!  said,  as  a  French  girl  would,  not  having  any  idea 
of  whom  she  spoke, 

"  He  had  no  taste,  Madame." 

"  I  don't  know.  It  is  a  pity  we  never  agreed,  for  I  think  I 
loved  him.  I  was  very  beautiful ;  but  1  never  had  the  beauty  of 
Mathilde." 

"  Mademoiselle's  figure "  began  the  girl. 

"Silence,  imbecile.  If  she  had  been  bent  double,  her  beauty 
would  have  been  as  much  higher  than  mine,  as  mine  wus  than 
yours.  Bambino.  There  is  a  beauty  of  soul,  child  ;  and  you  have 
none." 

As  this  was  rather  a  civil  speech,  considering  who  spoke  it,  the 
girl  left  well  alone  and  combed. 

Who  is  this  who  knocks  suddenly  at  Madame's  door,  and  without 
waiting  for  *'  tntrfy,"  comes  in  at  all  hazards  ?  It  is  the  har.dsonic 
young  Mameluke,  pale  and  terrified,  who  says — 

"  Madiimc,  the  revolutionists  are  coming  to  make  arrest." 

'*What  circle?"  said  Madame  D'Isigny. 

"  The  central,  acting  from  Nantes." 

"  How  many  do  they  want  f  " 

"Only  the  Maiquise.  X  have  it  all  from  my  brother.  The 
others  are  to  be  left  for  the  present." 

"  How  far  are  they  oft'  ?  " 

"  Ten  minutes,  Madame  ;  I  have  run  hard." 

*'  Here  is  a  diamond  for  you,  boy  ;  you  can  live  on  the  sale  of  it 
till  you  arc  hung.  You  have  done  well,  boy.  Girl,  tic  up  my  hair.

So,  with  a  nod  to  Monsieur,  she  sat  back  in  the  carriage  almost 
delighted  to  find  herself  among  Frenchmen  again. 

This  pleasure  grew  greater  soon.  There  was  a  stoppage,  and 
she  asked  her  new  friend,  who  was  before  the  carriage  window,  what 
it  was.  He  said  they  were  resting  the  horses  before  pulhng  the  car- 
riage up  the  hill.  Malhilde  said,  "  Ask  the  gentleman  in  command 
whether  \  may  walk  up.  Tell  him  that  I  am  Jame,  and  would  not 
run  away  from  such  good  company  if  I  could.  Ask  him,  for  I  lovi 
the  morning." 

The  sergeant  in  command  was  at  the  window,  and  had  let  down 
the  steps  in  a  moment :  and  behold,  not  only  he,  but  the  whole  escort 
of  five  were  dismounted,  leading  their  horses.  Why?  Not  on 
account  of  the  hill,  by  any  means  :  only  because  the  old  rules  of 
French  politeness  forbid  a  man  to  sit  on  horseback  while  a  lady  in 
company  was  on  foot.  Our  fiiihers  taught  us  this  same  rule,  but  I 
don't  sec  any  evidence  that  our  last  batch  of  young  gentlemen  ever 
heard  of  it. 

William  also  descended  from  his  box  and  joined  Mathilde,walkin| 
a  little  after  her,  and  talking  to  her.     The  escort  of  revoluttomscs 
drew  away  immediately. 

"  My  dear  William,"  s,iid  Mathildc,  **  they  will  not  leave  us 
beyond  the  top  of  the  hill,  and  I  want  to  impress  one  thing  on  you 
very  much.  Wc  arc  in  France,  and  France  is  different  ftxnn 
Engl.ind." 

Wjllium  nodded  and  smiled.      He  quite  understood  that. 

"In  France  wc  pride  ourselves  on  our  politeness;  and  politeness 
is  only  guud-humour  and  kindlliiess  reduced  to  practice.  Now  you, 
so  good-humoured  and  so  kind,  will  you  not  also  be  polite  ?  '* 

William  the  Silent  understood  her  perfectly,  but  had  only  time  to' 
nod,  when  it  was,  "  Mantez-,  s'!l  veus  plasty  Madame,"  and  on  they 
jingled  again. 

William  remembered  his  rote  well.  He  had  not  for  some  little 
time  a  chance  of  showing  his  good  will,  however. 

At  last  they  stopped  for  breakfesr,  at  a  very  little  inn  ;  and  Williini 
waited  on  Mathildc  while  she  took  her  meal  at  a  table  apart  from  the 
soldiers.  On  going  out  to  Starr,  he  found  the  sergeant  in  command 
kicking  his  horse  in  the  stomach.    He  got  Mathilde  to  ask  the  reason.

The  reply  was  icarccly  a  practical  onc»  though  delivered  with 
great  politeness,  I'he  horse,  ic  appeared,  was  an  Austrian  J''cuillant 
Emigre,  descendant  of  that  Judas  Iscarlot — Ncro-Foulon,  Frcdeiique 
of  Prussia,  soi-ttisant  Ic  Grand  ;  and  he  had  gone  lame,  as  they 
always  did.  And,  indeed,  when  they  stancd  the  horse  was  certainly 
too  lame  to  go. 

William  called  out  and  stripped  the  cavalcade,  and,  getting  down, 
went  to  the  sergeant's  horse,  and  taking  up  his  near  fore  foot,  fihowcd 
them  a  large  stone  in  it.  'I'aking  another  stone  from  the  road,  he 
knocked  it  out,  to  their  wonder  and  admiration. 

They  were  only  mounted  foot  soldiers,  who  couM  just,  and  no 
more,  sic  on  their  horses'.  Was  it  admiration  for  his  dexterity,  or 
for  his  good  laith,  which  made  them  trust  him  F  Probably  some 
little  of  both.  But  it  helped  to  make  their  strange,  long  journey 
pleasant. 

As  for  Mathildc,  she  would  make  any  thing  pleasant  ;  and  now, 
among  her  beloved  French  people,  she  won  their  hearts  utterly. 
Her  tongue,  so  long  debarred  from  its  natural  language,  poured  out, 
almost  unceasingly,  a  little  crj'scal  rivulet  of  good-humour  and  kind- 
ness, at  which  every  one  drank  by  the  way  as  she  went. 

Adcle,  who  was  a  giving  soul,  had  thought  in  the  night  of  what 
she  should  give  Mathildc  in  the  morning  for  a  present :  and  she  had 
thought  of  Lady  Somcrs'  missal  with  the  Byzantine  fillagrcc  binding,and 
the  piece  of  the  true  cross  :  so  that  when  Mathildc  had  awakened  later, 
and  Adclc  had  got  up,  she  had  fuund  it  on  her  pillow  with  a  note. 
It  made  the  way  to  Paris  short  for  her.  I  never  read  a  missal,  aiid 
never  meaji  to,  so  I  do  not  know  what  is  inside  one  i  but  there  was, 
I  daresay,  something  in  it  which  pleased  Mathildc  better  than  the 
Ferdinand  and  Jsabella  illuminations;  and  when  she  had  done  with 
that,  she  looked  at  the  almost  unequalled  illuminations;  and  when 
she  had  looked  at  some  of  them,  she  closed  the  book  and  looked  at 
the  splendid  exterior  with  loving  admiration.     She  was  well  amused. 

"Will  Madame  be  pleased  to  alight  ?"  "Certainly.  Madame 
supposed  they  were  going  to  change  horses  ?  " 

The  man  in  command  said  that  the  diligence  went  from  here  to 
Falaise.  It  rested,  therefore,  with  Madame  whether  she  would 
post  or  go  by  diligence  i  but,  if  she  posted,  it  would  be  at  her  own 
expense.  Mathildc  said  that  ceruinly  she  would  post ;  she  was  well 
supplied  with  money  ;  and  asked,  would  her  present  escort  go  with 
her?

The  present  rscort  was  lo  go  all  the  way,  it  appeared,  whether  by 
diligence  or  post.     ^'  That  is  good,"  said  Mathildc  ^  '*  it  would  be  a.' 
pity  to  part  just  as  we  have  got  to  be  good  friends.   What,  on  earth, 
are  we  lo  do  at  Falaisc  I     Where  are  you  taking  me  to,  then  \  " 

That  was  a  question  for  which  tliere  was  no  answer  ;  so  Mathildc^ 
went  up  the  stairs  of  the  hotel  where  they  stayed,  and,  while  dinner 
was  getting  ready,  looked  our  of  window. 

William  was  in  the  room  when  she  left  the  window,  helping,  or' 
pretending  to  help,  in   laying  the  ctirth.     "William,"  she  said,  in 
English,  *^do  you  know  where  they  arc  talcing  us.     Look  here." 

William  came  and  looked  out  of  window,  and  saw  a  bro.id  market-' 
place  wiih  a  fountain  in  the  centre;  beyond,  pleached  alleys  of  lime- 
trees,  and  on  a  rocky  elevation,  among  the  lime-trees,  a  splendid 
mined  keep  ;  beyond  which  again,  a  river  snarled  at  the  bottom  of  a 
deep  glen.  William  looked  at  it  all,  and  said  nothing,  seeing  that  he 
had  nothing  to  say. 

"  Du  you  not  sec  that  they  have  brought  us  to  Virty  and  that  they 
speak  of  Falaisc.  Is  it  possible  that  they  are  going  to  take  us  to 
Pariif  I  know  this  place  \  it  is  the  centre  of  the  bacage.  Why  do 
they  keep  this  route  to  the  north  of  Maine,  when  it  lay  through 
Alcn^on  ?  Do  they  think  that  Maine  will  rise  with  Brctagnc  I  If 
they  only  take  us  to  Paris,  we  shall  do  well ;  for  my  father  is  there." 

And  then  she  laughed  at  herself  for  supposing  that  William  could 
understand  her  ;  and  when  she  had  eaten  her  supper,  and  the  man  in 
command  had  come  in  and  said  that  it  was  time  to  start,  she,  in  a 
pleasant  humorous  way,  told  him  of  the  absurd  mistake  she  had  made 
in  discoursing  the  route  with  her  Knglisli  scivant,  who  thought  that 
France  adjoined  China.  So  humorously  did  she  tell  the  story  of  her 
consulting  with  WiUiam  about  the  Normandy  roads,  that  she  quite 
threw  the  good  patriot  off  his  guard. 

She  concluded  by  chattering,  "  It  is  well  for  you  on  horseback  notl 
to  care  for  roads,  but  it  is  otherwise  to  me  inside  the  carriage.  From 
here  to  Falaisc  I  can  sleep ;  but  from  FaLiise  to  Bcrnay  the  Seven 
Sleepers  would  each  awake  one  another.  It  was  the  corvee  of  the 
Marquis  d'Evreux,  one  of  you  revolutionists.  And  from  Bemay  co 
Evrcux  is  not  much  better." 

The  man  said  that  the  roads  there  were  not  good,  but  that  thef  | 
Would  go  slowly. 

*■*■  It  If  to  Paris,  then,"  said  Mathildc,  looking  straight  at  bim. 
And  the  man  looked  somewhat  like  a  fool.     He  got  out  of  his  posi-

tion,  smiling,  like  a  Frenchman,  by  siying,  "  MaJame's  sagacity  has 
tiiumphtd.     It  li  to  Paris." 

The  conversations  she  held  with  these  men  during  the  walks  up 
hill  were,  like  herself,  odd.  No  one  ever  joinei  in  them  except  the 
young  man,  whom  she  had  first  mad:  acquaintance  with,  atid  the 
commandant  of  the  licile  escort. 

'^  Now,  what  do  you  propose,  you  peo^h  ?  "  she  said.  "  What 
is  to  be  the  end  of  your  precious  Rcvolmioii  ?  " 

All  kinds  of  things.  Mr.  I'hackeray  says,  in  the  "  Ruse  and  the 
Ring,"  "  Here  a  pretty  game  may  be  played  by  each  child  saying 
what  it  would  nice  best  for  dinner." 

f  Those  arc  all  very  good  objects,  with  the  exception  of  the  de- 
struction of  religion,  in  which  I  cannot  symputhibc,  as  a  religionist 
myself,  liui  if  you  c^innui  get  them  without  taking  a  poor  innocent 
soul,  like  mysL-lf,  to  Paris  and  to  prison,  I  doubt  if  you  will  ever  get 
them  at  all.     What  has  the  King  been  doing,  that  he  is  in  prison  }  " 

I  do  not  know  what  the  King  had  not  done.  1  agree,  with  many 
others,  that  he  had  done  nothing  ;  but  they  said  that  he  had  done  all 
manjier  of  things. 

"  Don't  believe  a  word  of  it,"  said  Mathilde,  in  English,  to 
William.  **  I  do  not  believe  one  word  of  it,"  she  repeated  in 
French.  "  He  says  himself  that  he  never  meant  to  cross  the 
frontiers." 

*^  But  he  evidently  muaiu  to  do  so,  Madame,"  said  the  com- 
mandant. 

*■*■  The  best  thing  he  could  do"  said  Mathilde.  "  I  know  I  have 
been  stupid  in  ever  crossing  ihcni.  There,  put  down  the  steps,  yoa 
good  man,  and  let  me  get  into  the  carriage.  Why  did  you  not  let 
him  go,  you  people  ?  Why  did  you  not  hang  Drouct  ?  I  have  only 
half  heard  of  this  before.  It  seems  to  me  that  you  have  oil  made 
great  fools  of  yourselves.  You  will  have  Europe  on  you.  Are  you 
prepared  for  a  coalesced  Europe  ?" 

So  vaguely,  and,  a:i  she  thought  truly,  poor  old  Mathilde,  with 
more  or  less  light,  and  more  or  less  correctness ;  and  60  they  rumbled 
on  to  Paris. 

At  last  there  came  a  separation.  This  very  strange  company  had 
toiled  up  many  hills,  and  toiled  down  many  hilU,  on  their  very 
strange  journey  j  but,  by  the  time  they  had  all  grown  fond  of  her,  and 
by  the  lime  that  the  first  young  man,  to  whom  she  had  spoken,  had

got  ihat  strange  gnawing  at  the  heart  for  her  which  men  call  love  ;— 
by  the  lime  they  had  2II  got  sentimental  over  her,  and  one,  at  least, 
was  head  over  heels  in  love  with  her ; — to  the  last  hill  uf  all,  and 
Paris  bcj'ond. 

This  sentimental  young  man  got  a  few  precious  moments  alone 
with  her  as  they  walked.  "He  said,  "We  arc  about  to  part. 
Mademoiselle." 

"  More  the  pity.    I  have  got  so  fond  of  you  all ;  and  you  like  mc^l 
too!     What  a  pity  you  should  talk  such  nonsense  as  you  do!     I. 
never,  in  all  my  lile,  saw  a  kinder  lot  of  meni  and  I  like  you  thej 
best    of  all.      Why    do   you    not   give  up   this    ultra-revolutionary 
nonsense  ?  " 

Words  !  words  !  They  were  not  spoken  in  idleness,  these  words 
of  Mathiide;  but  he  gave  up  the  Revolution,  and  lost  his  head  over 
them,  as  he  had  lost  his  heart  to  ht-r. 

*' If  Mademoiselle  were  to  command,"  he  said,  "  I  would  throw 
the  Revolution  to  the  winds." 

'*  Who  am  I  to  command  ?  '*  said  Mathildc.  "  I  only  wish  you 
to  leave  off  talking  iiomense  ;  moreover,  yuu  have  called  me  made- 
moiselle twice,  when  you  should  have  called  me  madame,  which  is 
not  good  manners," 

"  Mademoiselle,  I  know  you,"  he  said  :  "  you  are  the  eldest 
daughter  of  D'Isigny.  You  arc  not  the  Marquise  de  Valogncs  at  all. 
You  arc  Mademoiselle  D'Isigny.     I  have  your  secret. " 

"  Then,  if  you  are  a  gentleman,  as  you  seem  to  be,  you  will  keep . 
it/'  she  replied.     And,  indeed,  that  was  all  that  this  sentimental, 
though  ill-considered  young  Republican  ever  got  for  his  devotion. 
Poor  boy  !    let  him  go  away  into  night.      He  was  not  the  first  moth 
scorched  in  the  flame  of  that  strange,  odd  beauty,  which  had  attracted 
the  douce  Sir  Joshua  himself  1    nur,  indeed,  was  he  the  last.      Every 
mm  who  had  a  chance  of  seeing  her — and  they  were  very  few — fell  ^j 
in  love  with  her,  save  two<     Dandy  de  Valogties  and  William  the^^H 
scrvaiU.     To  the   dandy  she  was  old  Mathilde,  with  one  shoulder 
lower  than  the  other ;  to  the  hind  she  was  simply   Mademoiselle, 
a  kind  young   lady,   daughter   of    the    French   gentleman   whose 
wages  he  took,  and  who  had  killed  the  mad  dog.      Ht  had  no  idea 
whether  she  was  ugly  or  pretty ;   it  never  entered  into  his  head  to 
think  about  it.

THE    ABBAY8. 

The  journey  came  lo  an  end  on  a  hot  July  afternoon.  l*he 
sergeant  in  cunimand  came  to  the  door  of  the  carriage,  and  said  that 
they  were  arrived,  and  Maihilde  got  out.  "What  place  is  this  ? " 
she  asked. 

"  I  deeply  regret  to  say,  Madame,  that  this  is  the  Abbayc." 

"It  is  all  equal,"  said  Mathildc. 

"  You  will  acquit  us  of  having  done  our  duly,  Madame." 

I*  My  dear  friends,  I  am  so  sorry  to  part  with  you,  Wc  have  had 
a  pleasant  journey,  all  of  us  :  have  we  not  ?  Please  to  try  and  think 
kindl)'  of  me  \  and  du  not  forget  your  religion,  you  \  and  do  not 
speak,  so  about  the  King  ;  tt  is  not  good." 

Sbc  loukeJ  up  at  the  fai^'iide  of  the  building  fur  a  moment,  and 
then  went  on  to  the  wicket,  but  not  alone.  One  young  man  of  the 
escort  was  left  to  hold  some  of  the  horses,  and  rambling  citizens  held 
the  others.  The  whole  of  her  guard  crowded  round  her,  and  went 
with  her  across  the  crowded  trottoir  to  the  wicket  of  the  Abbayc. 

"  You  will  allow  us  to  see  you  safely  housed,  Madame,"  said  the 
scigeant.     *'  I  can  manage  matters  better  than  you." 

"  Certainty,"  said  Mathitdc  ;  and  the  sergeant  heat  upon  the  door. 

It  was  opened  by  a  rather  nice-looking  old  man,  who  said,  *'A 
prisoner  ? " 

"  Yes,"  said  the  sergeant.     **  Now,  to  the  bureau,  quickly ! " 

"  Arc  any  more  of  you  coming  in  ? "  asked  the  old  man,  for  the 
whole  escort  thronged  In. 

"Patriots  have  fitree  here,"  replied  the  sergeant.  "He  silent, 
thou  old  man  ;  to  the  bureau." 

The  bureau  was  a  very  nasty  little  office  at  the  end  of  a  long, 
dark  piissage,  of  which  William  took  stock  ;is  he  went,  with  some 
dim  idea  of  the  way  tad.  In  it  sat  a  pole  young  man,  of  feeble 
aspect,  who  was  boiling  haricots  over  a  slow  Bre,  and  trying  them 
with  a  fork. 

"  Bureau  !  "  shouted  the  commandant,  and  the  young  man  upset 
his  pot  of  haricots  on  the  fire,  and  put  it  out. 

"  Imbecile  !  here  is  a  prisoner,"  said  the  commander ;  and  the 
young  man  opened  a  dour,  and  cried  out,  also,  "  Prisoner."    Where-

upon,  there  appeared,  quite  IcUurcly,  three  men  in  red  caj_ 
only  wore  breeches,  the  other  two  had  trousers ;  but  a]l  three  wore 
short  jackets.  One  seated  himself  at  ihc  desk,  and  took  out  hii 
pen ;  the  other  two  amused  themselves  by  wxtching  the  party,  vmI 
spitting. 

"  Now,"  said  the  man  at  the  desk,  '-'•  what  is  tt  f  " 

"  Madame  )a  Marquise  de  Valogiics." 

"  We  know  of  no  Marquise,"  said  the  patriot  at  the  desk,  "  what 
13  the  woman's  name  ?  " 

"  You  know,  like  another  fool,"  said  the  sergeant,  *'  with  thine 
argot,  thou.     Mathilde  de  Valognts  then." 

"  We  know  of  i:o  '  dc's,'  "  said  the  man  with  the  pen. 

"  Mathildc  D'lsigny,  then,  thou  difficile  imbecile." 

"  That  is  her  maiden  name.     What  is  the  family  name  o 
husband  ?  " 

"  Then  you  know,  you,"  said  the  irritated  sergeant ;  and  the  rest 
of  the:  escort  said — '*  He  knows,  this  one,  and  he  plays  the  fool  with 
us.     These  Parisian  tinkers  and  tailors  ihcy  make  fools  of  us." 

"Ne  ditcs  pas  d'lnjiircs,"  said  the  man  with  the  pen.  *'  You  pro. 
vincia)  pauiols  require  casiigation.  Where  is  your  wairant?  Give 
it  up." 

*'  Wc  provincials  ! — ^you  Parisians ! "  cried  the  sergeant,  white 
with  fury.     "  Have  wc  come  here  to  be  insuhcd,  coquin  ?  " 

**  Vous  iiijurtcz  k  nation,  vous  injuricz  Ics  tribunaux,"  said  the 
patriot  with  the  pen. 

*'  What  does  ic  matter  to  us,  thou  brandy-drinktng  dog,  whom  wc 
insult,  or  what  tribunals  wc  insult.  We  arc  men  of  action,  wc.  Wc 
arc  for  the  frontier  against  coalesced  kings.  Thou  sittcsi  here  brandy 
sodden,  to  judge  better  than  thyself.  My  warrant  runs,  Adcic  Caril- 
lon, and  I  give  It  to  thee.     Is  that  correct,  Madame  la  Marquise 

"  It  is  perfectly  correct,"  said    Mathildc,  looking   full  in    the 
of  the  young  man,  who  knew  her  secret.      He  bowed  his  head. 

She  bade  an  affectionate  farewell  lo  her  guard  all  round,  and  gave 
William  instructions  as  lu  where  he  should  find  her  father,  and 
tell  him  in  .secret  the  great  fact  that  It  was  she  who  was  arrested, 
and  not  her  sister :  and  then  she  passed  up  some  bioad  stone  steps, 
wondering  whither, 

*'  I  have  then  given  up  my  two  prisoners,  and  require  receipt," 
Said  the  sergeant. 

"  Two  prisoners  ? "  said  the  man  ;  "  there  i*  but  one."

**This  young  man/' said  the  sergeant,  thiustlngWillum  forwards, 
**  is  another.*' 

"  Vou  have  Jio  warrant.     Wc  have  enough  and  lo  spare." 

**  I  have  lost  the  warranr,"  said  the  sergeant. 

**  Then  he  must  go  ftec,  this  young  man,"  said  the  man  at  the 
desk  1  adding  '*  coquin  to  you  !  " 

Xhe  escort  crowded  round  William,  and  the  spokesmen  were  the 
sergeant  and  the  young  man  who  loved  her  better  than  the  rest. 
They  urged  on  William  that  he  shuuLd  Jiot  Jeave  her,  that  he  should 
fallow  her.  That  she  was  utterly  unjirotectcd  and  alone ;  that  the 
prisons,  some  said,  were  scarcely  safe  even  now.  That  he  had  taken 
her  father's  wages  for  many  years.  "  That  surely,  in  the  name  of 
God  "  (these  were  the  words  of  the  young  man  whose  head  had  got 
turned  by  Malhildc),  "there  was  some  manhood  left  in  the  nation  ot 
Cromwell,  and  that  surely  he  would  never  desert  one  he  seemed  to 
love  so  well."  To  all  of  which  passionate  appeal  William  turned  a 
perfectly  deaf  ear,  for  the  simple  reason  that  it  was  addressed  to  him 
in  French,  of  which,  in  spite  of  his  opportunities  at  Shcepsdcii,  he 
understood  not  one  word. 

French  gesticulation,  however,  did  what  the  French  language 
could  never  have  done.  William  was  utterly  puzzled.  He  did 
not  know  what  he  had  got  to  do.  The  young  man  with  his  head 
turned  *■  solved  his  doubts  for  him.  He  came  up  to  him  and  touched 
him  on  the  breast ;  then  he  pointed  along  the  black  passage  which 
[ed  towards  the  street ;  and  then  he  pointed  to  the  better  lit  stair- 
case up  which  Mathildc  had  gone.  William  understood  them  now. 
He  pointed  towards  the  stairs,  and  patted  the  young  man  on  the 
shoulder. 

They  crowded  round  him,  and  would  have  kissed  him  had  he 
allowed  it ;  and  so  they  went  back  to  the  Bureau.  The  sergeant  »pokv  ; 

"i  have  lost  my  warrant  for  this  young  man,  buc  1  accuse  him."

"  Bon,  bon,"  said  William. 

"  That  is  enough,  I  suppose,"  said  the  sergeant. 

And  the  man  sulkily  acquiesced,  saying  :  "  If  he  Is  a  friend  of  the 
murderer's,  of  Nanci,  he  will  find  a  friend  of  his  up-stairs," — as  was, 
curiously  enough,  the  case;  for  history  helps  fiction  in  the  strangest 
manner  sometimes,  whereas  I  never  heard  of  fiction  helping  history. 


CHAPTER  LV. 


WILLIAMS    WATCH. 

"  Anothkr  prisoner,"  said  a  pleasant  voice,  as  she  reached  the  top 
of  the  stairs,  and  paused  for  breath.  "  You  are  welcome,  made- 
moiselle. 

"Madame,  ifyou  please,"  said  Mathildci  "Marquise  deVabgncs, 
at  your  servjcc." 

Ic  was  a  pleasant-looking  abbe  who  had  spoken  to  her,  and  she 
gave  him  his  smile  back  again. 

"Why,  then,"  he  said,  '*  there  is  here  an  old  friend  of  your 
husband's,  and  a  dear  friend  and  comrade  oi  your  cousin's,  Andre 
Desilles  ;  the  man  who  was  with  him  at  Nanci,  M.  Journiac  dc 
St.  Meard,  here  is  the  wife  of  your  old  friend  Louis  de  Valogiies." 

St.  Meard  knew  better,  but  he  held  his  tongue  and  welcomed  her, 
and  the  others  drew  away,  and  left  them  to  talk. 

**  Your  secret  is  safe  with  me,  my  dear  Mademoiselle  lyisigny. 
I  see  at  a  glance  that  you  arc  following  out  the  object  of  your  life, 
and  talcing  care  of  a  sister  who  is  not  very  well  able  to  take  care  of 
herself.      Your  secret  is  perfectly  safe  with  me." 

Maihildc  looked  at  him  and  saw  that  it  was.  A  kind,  frank, 
honest  soldier,  and  moreover  a  gentleman. 

"  There  is  no  one  here  who  is  likely  to  know  you,  except  myself, 
you  have  been  so  long  in  England  ;  and  since  your  sister  has  come 
here  she  has  been  buried  at  Momauban,  helping  your  good  mother 
to  dig  our  graves.     Come,  tell  me  what  1  can  do  for  you  \"

"  I  thank  you  very  much,"  said  Mathilde  ;  **  there  was  a  little 
malic " 

But  she  had  no  need  to  go  on,  for  turnings  she  found  WiUiam 
beside  her,  silent,  with  the  little  malic  before  his  feet. 

"  How  did  yOH  get  in  ?  "  she  asked,  eagerly. 

"  They  light  dxaguuns  "  (William  had  a  cousin  in  the  14th,  and 
so  considered  that  nil  soldiers  who  lodc  a-horschack  in  blue  were 
light  dragoons)  *'  got  me  took  up  to  mind  you.  Where  be  1  to  put 
this  ? " 

Mathildc's  face  grew  flaming  crimson  for  one  instant ;  but 
wisely  cunsidcring  that  this  was  not  the  time  cither  itir  sentiment  or 
thanks,  and  that  she  must  keep  her  wits  about  her,  said,  after  a 
pause,  to  Journiac  de  St.  Meard, — 

"  This  is  my  father's  groom,  and  the  poor  lad  has  conspired  with 
the  National  Guards  to  get  himself  arrested  .nnd  attend  on  me.  M. 
de  St.  Meard,  for  the  love  of  old  days  and  old  laces,  will  you  help 
us,  for  wc  arc  very  helpless  .'  " 

"  With  my  life,"  said  Meard.  **  I  speak  some  English,  and  will 
go  with  him.  Go  to  the  ladies  j  there  they  sit  at  that  end  of  the 
ball.  Tell  mc  one  thing  mure  :  they  have  taken  your  money  Irom 
you,  of  course  ?  "  ^ 

"  No.     I  have  a  very  large  sum  on  me  now." 

**  That  is  very  strange.      Did  they  not  search  you  ?  " 

"  No.  The  escort  which  brought  mc  from  Brittany  quarrelled 
with  and  frightened  the  jailors ;  and  while  they  quarreUed,  1  came  up 
stairs." 

"  Give  mc  all  your  money  instantly  ;  when  they  remember  it, 
they  will  search  you,  while  they  will  never  search  mc." 

Mathilde  handed  him  secretly  a  heavy  bag  of  mixed  guineas  and 
louis,  with  a  nod  uf  thajiks,  and  went  slowly  towards  the  end  of  the 
corridor  where  the  ladies  were  silting  all  alone  ;  for  this  wus  tlie 
time  of  day  when  the  gentlemen  were  supposed  to  be  on  their  farms, 
or  at  the  chace,  or  riding  on  horseback,  or  driving,  or  promenading  \ 
the  time  of  day  when  the  ladies  had  alw.iys  been  left  to  them- 
selves. So,  although  firms,  horses,  promenades,  and  carriages 
were  gone  for  ever,  they  kept  up  the  old  liction,  and  the  men  krpt 
at  one  end  of  the  room  until  the  dinner  hour  i  and  having  paused 
a  certain  time,  after  their  dinner  of  cariion,  they  then  rejoined  the 
ladies. 

"  They  have  learnt  nothing,  and  forgotten  nothing,"  said  some 


Thi  Geufietftan's  Magazine. 


[AprI 


one  of  the  Bourbons  ;  which  can  be  said  no  longer  about  one  of 
them  at  Ie."ist. 

This  bL-ing  the  hour  before  dinner,  ihe  ladies  were  in  imagination 
in  their  drawing-rooms,  tittlc-tatrh'ng ;  Mathildc  npproachcd  them 
quite  unconcerned.  With  one  single  exception,  they  none  of  them 
took  any  in>ticc  of  her  at  all.  She  had  never  been  presented  at  court, 
and  it  was  said  that  her  husband's  opinions  were,  to  say  the  least  of*j 
it,  odd.  But  out  of  the  comers  of  their  eyes  they  watched  to  see 
what  the  old  Duchcssc  de  la  Pierre  Cassce  would  do,  and  abided 
their  time. 

The  old  gray-headed  Duchesne  rose  and  went  towards  her. 

*'My  love,"  she  said,  "we  have  heard  your  name,  and  we 
welcome  you  to  our  drawing-room.  .  The  Abbe  Secard  is  con- 
fined to  his  room  up-siairs  with  chagrin  about  events.  1  represent 
him." 

"  You  are  very  kind  to  me,  Madame  la  Duchcssc,"  said  Mathilde ; 
"  but  people  are  kind,  at  least  to  me.     Will  these  ladies  receive 


mcr 


i" 


They  would  receive  her  now :  there  was  no  appeal  from  the 
Duchesse.  She  was  prcserned  to  one  after  another;  they  each  one, 
as  she  was  presented,  raised  herself  a  little,  bowed,  smiled,  and  then 
sat  down  again.  But  Mathildc  was  presented  and  accrctlitcd  at  the 
Court  of  Death. 

A  great  many  of  these  ladies  sat  on  a  long  stone  bench  which  ran 
along  ihe  wall ;  others  sat  on  chairs  and  rude  benches  opposite  to 
them.  The  Duchessc  was  one  of  the  latter,  and  made  Maihilde  sit 
beside  her.     She  took  up  her  work,  and  said  to  her, — 

"  How  do  you  like  our  drawing-room.,  my  love  ? " 

••■It  is  a  very  nasty  place,  indeed,"  said  Mathildc.  "  Don't  talk 
to  me  for  a  few  minutes,  for  I  want  to  look  at  these  others.  Will 
they  be  kind  to  mc  .'  " 

"  They  will  be  very  kind,  my  love." 

"  Then  it  matters  to  mc  nothing  at  all,  the  rest,"  said  Mathilde, 
and  looked  principally  at  the  row  who  sat  against  the  wall,  and  to 
her  they  seemed  as  if  they  went  in  pairs.  For  one  of  the  highest 
attributes  of  man  is,  that  he  is  net  truly  gregarious,  like  the  beasts, 
but  is  capable  of  rising  to  the  height  of  selecting  one  poor  mortal, 
as  ignorant  and  feeble  as  himself,  for  whom  he  will,  if  needs  were, 
Jit. 

The  first  pair  she  noticed  were  possibly  the  strangest.     A  big,  fiit.

MademoisdU  MaUtildc,

cross-looking  womuii  about  ftfty-iirc,  wich  ringtets,  was  sitting 
beside  a  lean  little  nervous  woman,  who  was  kiiining.  The  Cit  and 
vulgar-looking  woman  sat  wiili  her  hands  upon  her  stomach, 
staring  at  Mathlldc.  The  lean  little  woman  beside  her  knitted  on, 
and  looked  at  nothing,  but  through  sheer  imbecility  dropped  ttitchet, 
When  she  did  so,  she  handed  her  knitting-pins  to  the  fat  woman, 
who  patiently  took  them  up,  and  handed  the  apparatus  to  her  again. 
After  which,  she  crossed  her  liaiids  on  her  stomach,  and  stared  at 
Mathilde. 

Mathilde  managed  to  ask  the  Duchesse  who  was  this  £it,  vulgar 
woman. 

*'  She  is  the  Comtesse  d'AurlUiac.  Her  husband  has  200,000 
Jivres  a  year,  and  she  has  been  used  to  all  luxuries,  yet  she  is  here 
and  docs  not  murmur.  The  lean  lady  who  sits  beside  her  is  her 
sister.  Mademoiselle  dc  Haiitcnt.  She  hns  been  in  the  cloister  all 
her  life,  and  would  be  utterly  lost  without  her  sister." 

This  pleased  Mathilde,  seeing  these  two  ugly,  stupid,  common- 
pUce  old  women  sticking  to  one  nnothcr  so  well.  But  she  hid 
genius,  this  old  M^^thilde,  and  she  loved  beauty  dearly  \  and  so  the 
next  pair  she  looked  at  pleased  her  better  still.  Her  heart  leaped 
out  towards  the  next  pair  which  she  noticed,  for  in  them  she  saw 
Adclc  and  herself  j  and  as  she  looked  on  these  two,  her  purpose  got 
fixed. 

Against  the  whitewashed  wall  sat  a  girl  with  a  square^  Bnc  face, 
of  great  beauty  and  power,  who  was  sewing;  in  her  lap  by  the  head 
of  her  sister,  a  golden  heap  of  splendid  beauty.  The  younger  sister 
rlB^  there  utterly  wearied,  utterly  idle,  and  petulant  in  her  idleness} 
^l^ying  at  times  with  the  string  of  her  sister's  apron,  at  times  with 
the  hands  which  sewed  so  dlligcnity  ;  at  times  sighing  in  her  tnnui^ 
at  times  rolling  her  restless  head  into  some  new  position.  Mathilde 
■matched  this  pair  with  intense  eagerness.  'I'hey  suited  her.  The 
younger  sister  was  only  another  Adele,  and  she  thought  how  Adele 
would  have  been  in  the  same  situation  but  for  her  ;  but  then  wiihsui 
her.     She  listened  to  their  conversation. 

The  younger  sister  said,  "This  is  so  triste  and  dull,  that  I  shall 
die  if  I  stay  here :  and  I  have  nothing  to  amu«e  me»  nothing  what- 
ever. I  wish  that  I  had  brought  my  squirrel  now,  but  they  said  wc 
were  to  go  back  again  directly." 

Mathilde  saw  the  elder  sister  sew  faster,  but  say  nothing  whatever. 
She  understood  her.

get  back,  for  I  took  it  so  entirely  in  hand  myself  that  none  of  ou; 
gardeners  dare  meddle  with  it.  And  those  balsams  should  be  in 
their  largest  pots  by  now ;  they  will  not  show  beside  Faustinc  dc  la 
Riviere's.  Thou  art  weeping  now,  sister,  for  thy  tears  lall  on  my 
face.     Have  /  made  thee  weep  ?  " 

Maihilde  sat  as  rigid  as  a  stone  listening  Co  this,  drinking  it  ini| 
ever)-  word.  The  elder  sister,  with  whom  she  was  deep  in  fiien 
ship  that  night,  told  her  the  bitter  truth.  Their  chateau  was  burnt, 
their  esutc  was  ruined  ;  their  father  and  mother  in  the  Concifrgtrir ; 
their  servants  dispersed  or  faithless;  the  wolf  in  their  garden,  the 
hare  upon  iheir  hearthstone.  But  she  had  kept  it  all  to  herself,  and 
had  flattered  her  giddy  sister  with  the  hope  of  a  speedy  return  to 
what  was  gone  for  ever. 

"How  could  I  tell  her,  Mathjldc?  How  could  I  tell  her  ?  She 
was  the  little  singing-bird  in  our  house.  Would  you  have  me  stop 
her  singing  for  ever  ?  " 

Mathildc  did  not  answer  directly,  but  told  the  elder  sister  her 
secret. 

"  Thou  happy  woman,  if  I  could  have  done  that  for  her  I  shoul 
have  been  content."

who  knew  who  he  was,  stood  up  also,  with  her  hand  on  the  elder 
sister's  shoulder. 

The  noble  and  gentle  old  man  came  bowing  and  sm'iHng  about 
among  the  ex  •courtiers,  making  straight  for  Mathildc— 

"  Madame  ta  Marquise,"  he  said,  "  I  fear  you  do  not  lite  the 
Abbayc." 

"  Monsieur  I'Abbe,"  said  Mathilde»  putting  her  strong  arm  over  the 
elder  sister's  neck,  *'I  love,  above  all  things,  to  be  near  God  :  and 
I  think  that  I  am  not  far  from  him  while  I  am  near  her,  and  near 
you." 

"  You  will  he  nearer  to  him  soon,"  said  the  old  mnn,  and  passed  on. 

And  lo  !  William  following  her  in  top  boots,  and  saying — 

"  Your  room  is  ready,  Miss  \  you  will  excuse  my  showing  it  to 
you.     It  is  not  fine,  but  it  is  private." 

St.  Mcard  had  given  up  his  room  to  her,  and  William  and  he  had 
been  tolling  ever  since  they  came  in  at  getting  it  ready  for  her. 
This  she  never  knew. 

She  said  to  the  two  sisters,     "  Where  do  you  sleep  ?  " 

"  With  the  others,"  ihcy  both  said. 

"  Come  and  sleep  with  me.  I  have  a  room  to  myself.  We  shall 
have  privacy,  we  three." 

"  But  our  bedding  !  "  said  the  elder  sister. 

"  William  will  remove  it." 

William  would  remove  any  amount  of  bedding  j  but,  unluckily, 
could  not  go  among  the  ladies. 

Mathildc  dashed  at  the  Duchcsse  de  la  Pierre  Cassoe,  who  turned 
up  irximps  at  once ;  and  French  ladies  not  being  as  paiticular  as 
English  ladies,  William  was  allowed  to  fetch  away  the  bedding  of  the 
two  sisters,  and  carry  it  in  triumph  to  Miilhilde's  room,  lately  that  of 
Journiac  de  St.  Mcard. 

"  Never  saw  anything  like  this"  said  William  to  MathJlde,  as  he 
brought  the  things  in.  "  Why  all  the  ladies  arc  going  to  bed,  on  the 
Stone  floor,  in  a  row.  If  my  opinion  was  asked  about  this  business, 
I  should  say  straight  out  that  I  didn't  think  much  of  it.  What 
have  they  all  been  up  to  ?  It  don't  seem,  to  mc  that  they  have  been 
doing  anything  particular.  However,  I  am  no  judge.  There  is  one 
gentleman  in  the  place,  at  all  events  j  and  1  have  been  used  to 
gentlemen." 

William  was  perfectly  right  about  there  being  one  gentleman  in

ihe  place.  There  were  probably  many  others,  but  this  gentleman 
spoke  English  in  a  limited  maimer,  and  so  William  understood  him 
and  respected  him.  Frenchman  as  he  was,  WilUiim's  gcntlenun 
was  Joumiac  dc  Sc  Mcard. 

Ask  William  to  define  a  gentleman,  and  he  would  have  asked  yi 
to  explain  what  "define"  meant.  But  he  knew  one  when  he  saW 
one,  as  our  people  do.  William  must  naturally  have  been  utterly 
ignorant  of  pedigrees,  A  man*8  father  might  have  been  a  tinker,  for 
all  he  knew  or  cared  i  and  yet  he  knew  a  gentlemaii  when  he  saw 
one,  and  respected  him,  and  would  follow  him.  Let  me,  therefore, 
writing  for  The  Gentleman's  Magazine,  de^ne  a  gentleman,  as 
William  and  I  understand  the  term. 

^  A  gentleman  is  a  man,  suiHcicntly  well  educated  for  the  duties  h 
has  to  perform,  and  who  thinks  of  the  interest  of  others  before  he 
thinks  of  his  own.  And,  moreover,  my  gentleman  must  not  be 
lazy,  but  must  trj',  with  such  powers  as  God  has  given  him,  to 
set  an  example,  and  show  what  a  very  valuable  animal  a  genlit- 
man  is. 

The  lower  orders  in  England,  in  this  revolutionary  u'mc,  believe 
in  their  gentlemen,  in  spite  of  their  faults.  That,  I  think,  is  not  yet 
changed  by  horse-racing  and  Hay -marketing,  though  our  agricultural 
people  are  long-suffering.  1  cannot  say  how  deep  the  poison  has 
gone.  I  speak  merely  of  1792,^  and  of  William  the  Silent,  who, 
finding  a  gentleman  in  Journiac  de  St.  Mcard,  fi^llowcd  him  li 
a  dog. 

From  the  outside  world  there  could  come  no  word.     The  past 
was  past,  and  one  had  to  force  one's  soul  into  a  perfectly  new  and 

L strange  present  i  with  new  petty  dull  cares,  and  new  anxieties.     She 
was  content,  she  had  been  born  to  endure. 
No  word  \     VVclt,  only  one,  and  that  with  the  greatest  difficulty. 
One  day,  a  week  after  she  had  been  there,  there  was  a  disturbance

at  the  lodge  of  the  Abbaye,  and  William,  who  happened  to  be 
near  with  JournJac  de  St.  Meard»  listened  to  it.  It  was  nearly  a 
disturbance. 

From  fivc-and-twcnty  to  thiity  National  Guards,  were  demanding 
to  see  a  prisoner.  They  had  forced  their  way  in,  and  were  thronging 
the  vesubule.  The  wicket  was  shut  behind  them,  and  they  were 
practically  in  possession  of  the  place,  which  fjct  made  the  four  men 
at  the  bureau,  if  nut  civil,  at  least  acquiescent.  William  at  once 
recognised  the  voice  of  the  sergeant  in  command  who  had  brought 
them  from  Brittany,  and  of  the  young  man  *'  with  his  head  turned." 
William  told  this  lo  St.  Mcard,  and  he  replied,"  Be  silent, this  means 
iomcthing." 

It  seemed  to  mean  a  furious  quarrel.  When  they  came  up,  the 
Brittany  sergeant  had  the  young  guard  by  the  collar,  and  was  con- 
fronting the  three  advanced  patriots  in  the  bureau  ;  and  the  three 
patriots  seemed  to  be  getting  the  worst  of  it. 

*'  None  of  the  prisoners  can  be  seen,"  said  the  patriot. 

"I  tell  thee  that  this  young  man  stole  this  silver  watch  from  the 
young  man  of  England  called  VVjlUam,  on  our  journey  from  Brittany ; 
and  that  his  conscience  having  pricked  him,  he  desires  to  give  it 
back." 

"Give  it  to  me  then,  and  I  will  give  it  to  him." 

"  Who  would  trust  thte  with  a  watch  ?  Who  art  thou,  then  ?  " 
said  the  sergeant.  At  which  the  gu.-irds,  '*  patrollotism,"  as  Mr. 
Carlyte  calls  them,  laughed  in  an  offensive  manner,  and  made  the 
patriot  furious. 

"  Who  art  thou,  then  ?     A  Lafeyettest  and  a  murderer." 

"  He  is  an  aristocrat,  this  one,"  said  the  sergeant,  turning  to  his 
backers,  who  laughed  again.  "  He  talks  of  Lafayette.  We  true 
patriots  only  know  of  Sicur  Mulicr.  They  may  well  talk  of  plots  in 
the  prisons,  which  are  dangerous  to  be  left  behind  by  real  patriots 
going  to  the  frontier  against  Brunswick.  They  may  well  speak  of 
them.  This  man  has  called  Moller  the  murderer  as  Lafayette.  He 
is  an  aristocrat." 

**  Messieurs,"  said  the  frightened  patriot. 

"Messieurs,  ag.itn,"  said  the  sergeant,  "  This  man  is  an  aris- 
tocrat, and  in  a  post  of  importance  also.  Here  is  a  truer  patriot 
than  he.  Citizen  Journiac,  thou  of  the  Chateau  Vicux,  formerly 
royalist,  thou  at  least  art  not  a  sneaking  dog  ;  cake  this  watch  frotn 
us,  and  give  it  to  the  English  young  man,  William.     We  can  trust

thee.     Thou  dog  of  a  Sansculotte  aristocrat,  with  thy  Lsf^yettes 
and  thy  monsicurs,  let  us  out.     Wc  arc  fur  the  frontiers." 

Which  the  advanced  patriot  did  with  the  greatest  pleasure. 

"  These  men,"  said  Journiac  to  William,  in  English,  "  hav< 
smuggled  in  some  intelligence  to  Mademoiselle  D'l^igny  in  thij 
watch.  Widk  swiftly  up  the  stairs  behind  me,  so  as  Co  hid^ 
me." 

They  were  not  up  ten  steps  before  the  men  in  the  bureau  were 
after  them.     Journiac  turned  at  once. 

*'The  watch,"  said  the  foremost.     "  Give  it  up." 

*'  I  will  do  nothing  of  the  kind,'*  said  Journiac.     **  William,  bat 
me  up.      I  will  not  part  with  the  watch,  sire  !  " 

They  were  halfway  up  the  stairs,  and  the  odds  were  four  to  two. 
William,  though  strong,  was  not  dexterous ;  and  the  Frenchmen 
were  both  strong  and  dexterous.  William  was  rapidly  overpowered, 
while  Journiac  de  St,  Meard,  after  a  feeble  resistance,  dropped  the 
watch,  and  fairly  ran  away  up  stairs. 

William,  as  soon  as  he  was  released,  followed  him,  a  little  sulkily, 
thinking  that  Sir  Lionel  Somcrs,  or  the  Rector,  would  have  made  a 
better  fight  of  it  \  and  when  he  came  to  him  in  the  large  r 
said  %o. 

S.-ud  Journiac,  "My  dear  child,  the  great  fault  of  you  English,  is 
stupidity.  I  knew  there  was  a  letter  in  that  watch  \  attd  I  knew 
that  they  knew  it  also.  If  I  had  given  up  the  watcli  without  a 
struggle,  they  as  Frenchmen  would  have  known  that  the  letter  was 
on  my  person;  that  is  why  I  deluded  them  by  stru^Iing.  While 
you  covered  my  retreat,  I  put  the  letter  in  my  pocket;  Mademoiselle 
D'Isigny  has  it  now ;  they  will  be  here  to  search  mc  for  it,  the 
idiots,  directly.     Here  they  are." 

*'  We  have  reason  to  believe,  citizen  Journiac,  that  there  was 
letter  conuincd  in  the  watch  wc  took  from  you.  Wc  require 
search  you," 

*'  There  is  no  need,  citizens,"  said  Journiac.     "  I  have  outwitted 
you.    There  is  such  a  letter.    It  has  been  handed  to  and  read  by 
person  to  whom  it  was  addressed.     Do  you  want  to  sec  it  f  " 

The  jailors  thought  so. 

*^ Mademoiselle  D'Isigny,"  said  St.  Meard,  advancing  towards  her,^ 
*'  these  good  people  wish  to  see  the  letter  which  you  received  from 
your  father  through  my  hands.     I  think  you  had  better  show  it  to 
them."

"I  know  uJI.  You  have  done  well,  and  have  kept  your  old

[HE  art  of  printing  was  introduced  into  France  in  or  about 
the  reign  of  Charles  VII.;  but,  if  we  may  judge  from 
habits,  customs,  and  costumes  during  that  of  Louis  XI., 
Frenchmen  and  Frenchwomen  had  not  as  yet  derived 
much  intellectual  advantage  from  it ;  although  it  is  remarkable  how, 
with  increased  means  of  international  intercourse,  old  classical  toilette 
traditions  again  found  their  way  to  France.  For  example,  the  women 
of  ancient  Greece  and  Rome  had  dyed  their  hair  and  painted  their 
^ces;  so,  likewise,  in  the  reign  of  Louis  XL,  dtd  the  women,  Co 
say  nothing  of  the  men,  of  France. 

That  the  style  of  dress  was  hideous  in  form,  as  already  described, 
is  not  to  be  wondered  at,  considering  how  few  in  France  were  then  the 
opportunities  of  artistic  observation,  such  as  fur  centuries  preceding 
had  become  familiar  to  the  people  of  [t.nly.  Not  to  speak  of  painting 
or  sculpture,  at  that  date  when  the  art  of  printing  was  only  just  intro- 
duced into  France,  the  drama,  with  the  cKccprion  of  "Mysteries,  or 
Miracle  Plays,"  had  made  scarcely  any,  and,  by  no  means,  a  steady

and  moral,  progress  since  that  far-ofT  time  glanced  at  in  a  previous 
page,  when  Clovis,  first  Christian  king  of  France,  had  imponed  a 
*' pantomime."  Mimics  and  faremrs  had  multiplied  before  the  reign 
of  Charles  VI.;  but  these  actors,  if  they  can  be  so  called,  did  but 
caricature  their  fellow-citizens,  and  by  doing  so  make  patent  any 
scandalous  or  ridiculous  adventure  to  the  delight  of  Paris  gossips. 
Charles  VI.,  however,  patronised  iheir  "joyous  institution,"  and  they 
were  called  "  Enfam  sans  Souci"  whilst  the  chief  of  them  was  digni- 
fied by  the  title  of*'  Prince  of  Fools."  Wearing  a  hood  with  asses' 
ears,  he  made  an  annual  public  entry  into  Paris,  followed  by  all  his 
troop,  who  generally  d  isplaycd  their  talents  in  the  market-places.  But, 
when  Francis  I.  became  king,  an  immense  advance  was  made  id  all  the 
arts  of  civilisation;  and,  with  regard  to  femaledress,  Anne  cf  Brittany, 
the  beloved  consort  of  Louis  XII.,  predecessor  of  Francis,  had  intro- 
duced ameliorations  most  (avourable  to  the  growth  of  good  taste  in 
France.  The  costume  of  Anne  of  Brittany  closely  resembles  that 
of  "I.a  Reine  Claude  ;  "  and,  therefore,  having  once  touched  upon 
the  reign  of  the  *'  Great  Francis,"  we  here  prefer  to  keep  to  it  in 
sketching  the  robes  of  his  first  fair  consort ;  for  there  is  something 
characteristic  of  her  ruval  husbaiid's  court  at  Fontaincblcau  in  the 
majestic  sweep  of  her  purple  velvet  train,  trimmed  with  cnnine  ;  and 
the  graceful  form  of  her  hanging  sleeves,  of  the  same  costly  fur. 
Her  small  cer/{like  that  made  charming  by  Anne  Bole)'n),  frames 
the  smoothly-banded  hair,  and  sustains  a  long  veil,  drooping  behind. 
Well  does  the  rich  hue  of  the  open  velvet  robe  harmonise  with  tha ' 
lustre  of  the  white  satin  petticoat  visible  beneath  it,  which  looks  asj 
though  sustained,  though  not  **  stuck  out,"  by  the  best  form  of 
ciinotinc  ever  since  invented ;  and  historical  is  the  fact  that  Queen 
Claude  wears  gloves — an  article  of  attire  then  new  to  France. 

louring  the  later  years  of  the  reign  of  Francis  I.  (founder  of  the 
Royal  College  of  France)  he  found  an  able  fine  art  assistant  in  bis 
daughter-in-law,  Cithcrinc  dc  Medicis,  who  from  Italy  had  imported 
with  her  artists  and  poets.  A  passion  for  chivalrous  romance  then 
became  rife,  uiict|uallcd  in  France  since  the  days  of  the  Trouba- 
dour* ;  and  as  Italian  artists  and  sculptors — amongst  whom  was  the 
celebrated  Florentme,  Benvenuto  Cellini — then  found  their  way  to 
the  court  of  France,  together  with  the  first  editions  of  such  works 
as  "  Lancelot  du  Lac,"  and  various  poems,  it  need  scarcely  be  added 
that  French  taste  in  costume  changed  for  the  better  with  the  customs 
of  French  society.

It  has  now — in  the  19th  century — become  a  fashion,  both  in 
France  and  England,  to  "  rehabilitate  "  historical  characters  ;  but  ic 
is  with  regard  to  dress  alone  that  justice  need  here  be  done  to  Cathe- 
rine dc  Mcdicis,  for  in  that  (notwithstanding  one  or  two  grotesque, 
but  short-Iii'cd,  fashions  contemporary  with  hcr)»  as  in  architecture 
and  the  Rne  arts  generally,  she  was  a  great  reformer.  No  lunger,  in 
her  time,  did  French  women  wear  horns  or  sugar-loaves,  but  Italian 
turbans,  such  as  may  be  seen  In  the  old  pictures  of  Italy,  especially  in 
the  art  galleries  of  Florence  ;  or  else  they  wore  bandeaux  of  precious 
stones,  gold,  or  silver,  which  confined  the  hair  in  classic  forms.  After 
the  accession  of  Henri  If.,  husband  of  Catherine  dc  Mcdicls,  to  the 
throne  of  France,  the  elegance  of  the  appaicl  peculiar  to  the  court  over 
which  she  presided  became  exquisite  enough  to  satisfy  the  tastes  of 
painters  and  poets,  who  helped  to  immortalise  it  by  pen  and  pencil.

her  to  a  degree  magnificent  enough  to  become  the  wonder  of  the  world. 
Alternately,  or,  sometimes,  equally,  were  Italian  and  Spanish  fashions 
adopted;  and,  looking  fiist  at  the  reyw?  or  vt-lvct  head-dress — then 
called  Neapoliun^ fastened  wJih  an  a'lgrttte  of  diamonds,  and  then 
ac  the  long  veil,  falling  mantilla-Like  over  Tician-hued  robes  of  velvet 
or  satin,  it  is  difficult  to  say  which  style  of  dress  is  the  more  to  be 
admired.  Corneille,  the  painter,  instituted  at  that  lime  a  picture- 
gallery  at  Lyons  ;  and  at  a  late  period  of  her  life  Citherine  dc 
Mcdicis,  beholding  her  own  portrait  pointed  by  him  when  she  was 
young,  is  described  by  her  courtier,  Brantomc,  as  standing  before  it 
long  isiA  wistfully;  but,  however  she  may  have  regretted  the  changes 
worked  byTimcon  her  handsome  countenance,  she  was  not  shocited 
as  so  many  elderly  ladies  are  in  this  present  century  by  observing  that 
her  dress  was  ugly  when  she  was  young;  for  the  Mcdicis  costume, 
generally,  was — from  BrantOmc's  and  other  descriptions  of  it — dis- 
tinguished by  those  flowing  outlines,  and  that  Hne  combination  of  light 
and  shade,  or  rich  colouring,  for  the  best  examples  of  which  painters 
Still  have  need  to  study  the  works  of  her  artistic  countrymen.  Marj', 
Queen  of  Scots,  daughter-in-law  of  Catherine  de  Mcdicis,  who  still 
dressed  a  !a  Fran^aise^  after  bidding  adieu  to  France,  the  loved  land 
of  her  youth,  has  helped  to  form  the  taste  of  posterity,  never  weary  of 
admiring  the  long  robes,  the  veil,  and  the  small  pointed  cap,  in  form

like  that  now  honoured  by  the  adoption  of  Queen  Victoria  ■■,  and  it  is 
ncccs&ary,  when  alluding  to  fashion  of  female  dress  at  the  Tuilcries 
three  hundred  years  ago,  to  observe  that  it  was  then  and  there  the 
fanitTy  prototype  of  tlie  modern  crinoline,  was  introduced  to  sustain 
the  rich  skins  which  were  often  heavy  with  gold  embroidery  and 
precious  stones.  Henceforth,  the  panier,  although  variously  modi- 
fied, became  an  csscjitial  of  court  costume,  being  introduced  else- 
where than  in  France  by  the  daughters  and  daughter-in-law  of 
Catherine  dc  Mcdicis.  By  the  portraits  of  Mary,  <^ueen  of  Scots, 
most  readers  arc  made  lamiliar  with  the  form  of  French  female 
attire  contemporary  with  her  ;  but  as  that  unfortunate  queen  is 
generally  portrayed  in  a  mourning  garb,  it  may  be  as  well  here  to 
observe  that  it  was  customary  then  for  ladies  to  adopt  two  separate 
colours  in  their  costume  \  and,  to  cxcmphfy  how  this  was  done, 
a  word-sketch  may  pardonably  here  be  given  of  a  portrait  of  IVlar- 
gueritc  de  France  (iirst  consort  of  Henri  de  Navarre),  a  copy  of 
which  is  in  the  French  art  c(>ltcction  before  alluded  to.  Crimson  and 
black  are  the  colours  she  wears,  the  satin  undcr-skirt  being  of  the 
former,  and  the  velvet  train  of  the  latter,  hue ;  but  this  train,  worn 
like  a  festooned  upper-skirt,  is  looped  up  as  when  the  &ir  and  gay 
princess,  its  wearer,  was  so  charmed  with  the  new  fiishion  of  her 
^n/V  rounding  oB*the  velvet  folds  about  her  hips,  that,  in  picsciKc 
of,  and  to  the  astonishment  of  the  admiring  and  assembled  court  at 
the  Louvre,  she  performed  a  pireurtte^  and  then,  bending  down  low 
in  a  stately  curtsey,  improvised  that  which  by  modern  English  girts  is 
known  as  a  ^'  cheese."  But,  seemingly  oblivious  of  any  such  sudden 
caprice,  altogether  stately  looks  this  princess  as  she  stajids  erect  in 
superb  array ;  albeit,  her  half-open,  pointed  bodice,  and  close,  though 
"  curiously  puckered  "  sleeves  have  anything  but  a  stiff  appearance ; 
and  these  all — bodice  and  sleeves — tastefully  alternate  the  black  and 
ciimsonof  the  skirts.  White  gauntlet  gloves  form  pointed  cufTs  to  the 
sleeves.  Bright  gold-colourcd  and  luxuriant  is  the  hair  raised  in  slight 
semi-circles  on  cichcr  side  the  brow,  a  furmoffc/^uri' harmonious  with 
the  oval  wf  the  lovely  face  j  and  between  these  righi-and-lcli  graceful 
pulfs  of  hair  is  placed  an  ornamenc  shaped  like  a  fieur-de-iys^  and 
probably  made  of  pearls,  to  match  the  chain  necklace  of  three  rows 
encircling  the  round  and  slender  throat  of  this  princess,  whose  French 
Christian  name,  being  interpreted,  represents  a  pearl. 

This  costume  of  Marguerite  de  France  might,  in  some  respects 
advantageously,  be   copied   by  French  and  even  English  ladies  of 


graceful  modificaiion  of  that  which  backed  up  Ouccn  KliKabeth  of 
England.  It  formed,  in  fact,  a  white  back-ground  or  high  light  to 
the  richly-coloured  picture  of  ihc  "  Princess  of  Pearls  " ;  but  still  it 
has  a  stiff  and  starched  appL-aiance,  alihough  one  not  nearly  so  ugly  as 
ihac  produced  by  a  fashion  which  made  lis  appearance  in  the  reign  of 
Heimlll., — the  fashion  of  humping  up  female  backs  between  the 
shoulder-blades  by  artificial  means,  which  gave  the  notion  of  absolute 
deformity.  By  that  time  Catherine  de  Mcdicis,  mother  of  Henri  III. 
and  queen-mother  of  three  successive  reigns,  was  an  old  woman.  Is 
it  possible  that  this  hideous  humpbacked  fashion  was  introduced  to

flaner  her  \  If  Catherine  dc  Mcdicts  allowed  such  an  outrage 
uf>on  beauty  and  an  in  favour  of  her  own  self-love,  it  was,  in- 
deed, after  all,  by  a  deformity  of  chanictcr  that  costume,  which 
at  one  time  owed  so  much  to  her,  was  for  a  short  time — but 
only  fur  a  short  time — made  hideous.  She  had,  indeed,  lived  too 
long. 

In  (he  reign  of  her  son,  Henri  III.,  male  hats  came  into  5ishion  ; 
not,  by  any  means,  the  chimney-pot  hat,  ugliest  head-piece  of  modem 
times,  but  the  Spanish  hat — afterwards  exaggerated,  especially  In  the 
time  of  Charles  11.  of  England — which,  made  of  felt  or  velvet,  was 
adorned  with  plumes.  Jauntily  elegant  was,  also,  the  loose,  but  short 
ajid  richly-trimmL-d,  bright- coloured  velvet  mantle  worn  by  King 
Henry  III.  and  his  couniers,  although  their  slashed  jmtaueorpty  or 
body  garments,  and  sillc-wovcn  thauaet  were  of  a  much  closer  fit 
than  those  In  vogue  a  century  later. 

In  the  time  of  Catherine  dc  Mcdicis  coaches  and  various  sorts  of 
carriages  began  to  be  generally  used  in  France  ;  and  court  theatricals 
were  ihen  instituted  ac  the  Louvre,  at  the  splendid  banquets  of  which 
palace  forks  were  first  used  in  France.  At  the  Louvre,  also,  then  ap-        - 
pearcd  white  hnir-powder  \  but  whether  originally  intended  to  beautify  ^H 
the  locks  of  Catherine  de  Medicis  in  old  age,  or  merely  for  use  in  ^^m 
court  theatrical  disguises,  cannot  here  be  said.    More  important  may 
be  regarded  the  fact  that  the  printing-press  was  not  at  that  time  left 
idle  by  princes  j  and,  in  proof  of  this  fact,  it  may  here  be  mentioned 
that  a  fine  edition  of  the  woiks  of  Krolssart,  historian  and  romanderj 
who  died  about  1401,  was  printed  at  Lyons  under  the  direction  of 
Catherine   de   Medicis,   in  1559,  just  when   her   short-lived   son, 
Francis  11.,  first  husband  of  Mary,  Queen  of  Scots,  ascended  the 
throne. 

Masks  were  first  worn  in  France  during  the  reign  of  Francis  I., 
and  they  were  not  without  their  use  in  aftertimes  of  civil  strifi:, 
albeit,  like  most  other  things,  subject  to  abuse.  The  first  pair  of  silk 
stockings  in  France  was  worn  by  Henri  II.,  consort  of  Catherine  de 
Medicis,  although  it  was  not  until  a  later  date  that  a  manufactory  for 
stockings  was  instituted  in  the  Bois  de  Boulogne,  which  locality,  as 
told  in  a  previous  page,  had  long  been  a  favourite  resort  both  of 
princes  and  penitents.  Before  stocking-making  became  a  matter  of 
French  trade  it  was  customary  for  ladies  to  knit  hose ;  and  previous 
to  the  time  when  hosiery  was  thought  of  in  an  clastic  form  it  was 
customary  for  people  of  rank  to  case  their  legs  with  stufFs — more  or.

less  costly — bound  on  by  handeUttei-,  such  as  chose  already  described 
as  worn  by  Charlemagne. 

Marie  dc  Medicis,  queen  of  Henri  I V.^  did  something,  though  not 
seemingly  much,  to  develop  the  dress  fashions  mainly  origiiutcd  by

her  predecessor  and  kinswoman,  Catherine;  but  Anne  of  Austria, 
wife  of  Marie's  son,  Louis  XIII.,  and  mother  of  Louis  XIV.,  was 
not  only  splendid  in  her  attire,  but  almost  morbidly  fanidiuus  in  her 
castes.  By  her  the  celebrated  pearl  necklace,  for  generations  after- 
wards considered  the  property  of  the  Dauphiness,  for  the  time  being, 
was  brought  into  France.

beards,  pointed  \  and  long  moustachios,  curled  up  by  means  of  wax 
on  cither  side.  And  as  she,  Anne  of  Austria,  was  the  natural 
guardian  uf  her  son,  Louis  XIV.,  during  hi&  long  minority,  it  is 
not  very  difficult  to  git;:5S  whence,  or  from  whom,  he  derived  his 
first  taste  for  the  superb  costumes  which  afterwurds  charactcmed 
his  court. 

Up  to,  and  even  for  some  time  after  the  "  Grand  Monarque  "  took 
the  reins  of  government  into  his  own  hands,  the  only  unsightly  thing 
In  the  head-dress  of  French  court  ladies  was  an  oniamcnt  of  silk  or 
other  more  costly  material,  formed  like  a  large  open  fiui,  worn  in  front 
of  the  head,  high  on  the  bruw.  That  this  head-gear  was  susceptible, 
as  arc,  indeed,  all  other  fashions,  of  the  modifications  of  individual 
tiste,  is  a  fact  illustrated  by  a  Versailles  portrait  of  the  young  and 
short-lived  Duchcsse  d'OHcans,  one  of  the  brightest  and  best  of 
princesses,  and  also  the  daughter  of  Chailes  J.,  martyred  King  of 
England,  and  his  consort,  the  French-born  Henrietta  Maria.  With 
regard  to  male  courtly  costume  of  the  time  of  Louis  XIV. — thai 
costume,  the  most  splendid  in  modern  historical  dramas,  and  so 
generally  well  knuwn  that  it  is  needless  here  to  elaborate  the  details 
of  it — the  chief,  if  not  the  only,  objection  to  it,  from  a  picttiresquc 
point  of  view,  is  the  ptrruque;  that  monstrous  head-tower  which, 
rising  high  above  the  head  in  artificial  curls,  descends  to  the  waist 
before  and  behind.  So  convinced,  in  his  later  life,  was  Louis  XIV. 
of  the  majesty  appertaining  to  his  own  wig,  that  he  would  never,  it 
is  said,  be  seen  night  or  day  without  ic. 

Muffs  were  in  those  days  often  carried  on  the  hands  of  gentlemen 
of  quality,  who  might  scarcely  have  cared  to  be  identified  by  such  a 
luxury  if  they  could  have  foretold  how.  In  after  times,  the  word 
"mufP'  would  become  a  slang  word  of  contempt  for  a  foolish  fellow. 
In  time  fans  dropped  off  the  heads  of  ladies  ;  and  their  flowing  locks, 
veils,  hcad-drapcrics,  or  even  the  piquant  little  round  cap  afterwards 
worn,  harmonised  Vvell  with  the  lines,  very  long  and  undulating,  yet 
circular,  of  their  rich  robes  and  sleeves. 

The  Pan'itr^  first  introduced,  as  heforcsaid,  at  the  court  of  France 
by  C;ithcrine  dc  Mcdicis,  was  indispensable  In  sustaining  the  long 
female  dresses  of  the  time  of  Louis  XIV.;  and  the  element  of 
reason  or  utility  in  the  Panier  fashion,  idone  accounts  fi^r  its  long 
duration.  Although  subject  during  the  successive  reigns  of 
Louis  XIV.,  Louis  XV.,  and  Louis  XVI.,  to  various  modifications 
and  exaggerations,  it  never  abandoned  at    the  court  of  Vcrsailtef,

and  a  grandt  dame  of  that  court  in  the  time  of  Louis  XV.  (see  p^e 
451)  illustrates  its  appearance  when  largest  worn. 

To  the  Louis  XIV.  male  wig  succeeded  powtlcr  and  pigtails,  and 
that  hair  powder  hath  some  mysterious  charm  peculiar  to  itself, 
which  by  concealing  one  natural  beauty  enhances  others^  was  prac- 
tically acknowledged  by  ladies  of  the  time  of  Louis  XV.,  for  they 
also  then  adopted  it  at  the  court  of  Versailles;  and  by  the  time  Queen 
Marie  Antoinette  appeared  above  the  horizon  of  fashion,  "  glittering 
like  the  morning  st.ir,  full  of  splcii  Jour,  and  hope,  and  joy,"  it  would 
be  difficult  to  recognize  a  picture  of  her  en  grandt  lennt  without  it. 

Rougt  was  generally  the  indispensable  adjunct  of  hair-powder;  but 
this  was  not  in  that  day  used  with  intention  to  deceive,  any  more  than 
were  the  court  plaister  black  patches  contemporary  with  it;  for  the 
Austrian  Emperor,  Joseph,  when  a  guest  at  Versailles,  openly  rallied 
his  sister  Queen  Marie  Antoinette  and  her  ladies  fur  being  on  one 
state  occasion  "  painted  too  high,"  The  intellectual  Madame  de 
Gcnlis  also  laid  a  wager  at  that  time  with  the  Due  d'Orlcans  at  the 
Palais  Royal,  that  on  her  thirtieth  birthday  she  would  leave  off  rouge ; 
and  albeit  the  lady  was  known  to  be  strung-minded,  it  was  considered 
quite  impossible  that  she  could  do  $0.  She  won  the  wager,  however, 
to  the  astonishment  of  the  world — or,  Afr  world — at  large;  arid  indeed 
the  winning  it  turned  her  pale.  But  modes  change,  and  some  of 
them,  merely  here  glanced  at  historically,  would  not,  of  course,  be 
tolerated  under  an  improved  tan  of  morals. 

During  the  reign  of  Louis  XV.,  male  court  coats  were  costly 
in  m.itcrial,  and  worn  over  embroidered  vests,  but  in  the  time  of 
Louis  XVL  they  became  less  and  less  fantastic,  until  at  last  there  was 
something  Quaker-like  in  their  cut;  the  buttons,  however,  were  of 
gems,  CUE  steel,  or  gold  or  silver,  and  the  button-holes  elaborately 
worked  ;  the  dress  altogether,  in  fact,  resembling  the  ordinary  court 
dress  worn  by  an  English  gentleman  in  the  igth  century.  The  black 
silk  flat  bag,  still  generally  appended  to  the  nape  of  the  neck  of  a  court 
coat,  was  formerly  of  use  in  containing  3  courtier's  hair,  or  at  least 
in  preventing  hair  powder  from  resting  on  the  coat  itself ;  and 
buckles  to  male  court  shoes,  as  also  at  the  knees,  are  still  the  same 
in  shape  as  during  the  reign  of  Louis  XVL  ;  but  as  the  high  gold 
or  scarlet  heel  is  no  longer  worn  by  gentlemen  in  this  our  own 
present  day,  we  may  say  that  courtiers,  generally,  stand  Armcr  on 
their  feet.  Curious  was  the  Louis  XVL  male  coiffure  representing 
'0i7/j  depigtoty*  formed  by  stid'and  symmetrical  curls  on  either  side

the  fore  pirt  of  the  head.  Watch  chains  or  ribbons  dangled  one  in 
front  of  cither  hip  dunng  the  ailes  de  pigeon  period;  and  mcantiTtie 
court  ladies,  nay,  also  some  fair  Uurg^siseSy  had  learnt  the  art  of 
looping  up  their  long  trains  in  the  graceful  though  lantastic  style  por- 
trayed, previously,  by  the  painter  W^itieau,  and  pictured  on  fans  such 
as  those  used  by  Queen  Marie  Ancuinetie  and  lier  court,  both  in  and 
out  of  doors,  at  the  Little  Trianon  palace,  of  court  pastoral  pleasures. 

The  high-hecled  shoe  (such  as  that  tiny  one  of  Marie  Antoinette, 
still  exhibited  beneath  a  glass-case  at  the  Louvre)  was  light  of  foot, 
much  more  fair^'-like,  indeed,  to  atl  appearance  than  the  thinnest, 
flat,  paper-soled,  sandalled  slipper  ever  worn  by  ladies  of  that  later 
date  when  Republican  or  Ultra-Liberal  Par'tsiennety  walking,  dis- 
played not  only  boih  feet  but  one  leg,  by  holding  up  their  scanty 
garments  on  one  side,  in  the  Laccdxmonian  rahe  findue  m^d/  glanced 
at  in  a  previous  page ;  and  such  was  then  the  "  audacity  of  head- 
dresses" that  ptrniques  of  various  colours  would  belong  to  the 
same  wearer.  Time,  however,  developed  that  costume,  a  la  "Sairey 
Gamp,"  here  conspicuous  by  a  boiinet  needing  a  box,  which  in  these 
days  only  belongs  lo  chat  traditional  female,  '*  for  to  carry  it."  Is  it 
possible  that  our  own  grandmothers,  or  great-grandmothers,  as  the 
case  may  be,  ever  wore  such  a  bonnet  as  this,  or  trotted  through 
the  world  with  such  a  funny  little  pair  of  flat-footed  legs  as  those  ? 

Stumpy  as  they  look,  by  contrast  to  the  coiffure^  they  walked 
through  the  world  of  fashion  ;  and  that  too,  most  wonderful  to  say, 
immediately  after  the  graceful  Empress  Josephine  had  glided  through 
it  like  a  goddess,  and  ruled  over  it,  she  herself  being  arrayed  in  flow- 
ing drapery  in  which  even  Phidias  might  have  delighted  j  and  such 
as  erst  found  fevour  with  the  most  justly  celebrated  women  of 
ancient  Greece  and  Rome.  Who  needs  here  to  be  reminded  of 
the  elegant  draperies,  of  the  hair  clustering  low  on  the  forehead, 
of  the  dignified  though  feminine  st)'lc  of  dress,  brought  into 
"fashion"  by  Josephine  during  the  Consulate  and  the  earlier  years 
of  the  First  Empire  ?  It  was  a  style  that  harmonised  well  with  the 
supple  grace  of  her  own  figure,  and  which  assorted  with  the  fine 
Roman  countenance  of  *'  Madame  Mirt,"  mother  of  Napoleon  I.  j 
but  it  only  too  soon  passed  out  of  view  with  Josephine  herself;  and 
it  is  scarcely  an  exaggeration  to  say,  that  from  her  time  to  that  of 
her  not  less  gracieuse  successor,  the  Empress  Eugenie,  French 
fashion,  subject  to  many  freaks,  fell  into  frightful  contortions,  if  not 
hopeless  confusion.     For  after  that  female,  above  illustrated,  with

the  big  bonnet  and  short  petticoats,  came  the  Restoration  ;  but,  not- 
withstanding that  a  privy  council  was  positively  held  at  the  Tuilcrics 
by  Louis  XVIII.  tbr  the  purpose  of  reviving  the  costume  of  the 
atidtn  regime  of  Versailles,  it  was  found  impossible  to  do  so.     The

Duchesse  d'Angoulemc,  daughter  of  Marie  Antoinette,  was  then 
nominally  the  head  of  female  fashion  in  France,  but  the  long  years  of 
her  exile  had  unfitted  her  to  become  its  leader,  as  her  mother  had 
been ;  and  it  is  scarcely  too  much  to  say  that  no  mide  of  the  last  years

wffurti  fur  a  passing  season  rose  preposterously  high — was  so  ugly,

the  pomps  and  vanities  of  the  court  of  her  pedantic  uncle,  Louis 
XVIII.,  but  that  king  himself  was  too  aged  and  inRrm  to  dttect 
them  from  an  arciscic  point  of  view,  although  he  could  not  but 
remember  his  sister-in-law,  Marie  Antoinette  (as  portrayed  b'

better,  and  cased  them  in  red  velvet  gaiters  ;  dreading  a  French  sun- 
stroke, he  wore  an  English  chimney-pot  hat  to  protect  him  from  it, 
and  in  an  elderly  blue  frock-coat,  he  butctuicd  himself  up  with  bright 
burtons  from  the  cold.  Louis  XVIII.  prided  himself  in  being  English 
even  with  regard  to  his  chartered  constitution.  Who,  therefore^

she  nor  only  cut  off  her  scanty  skirts  high  above  her  flat-footed  shoes 
and  sandalled  pink-si  Ik- hosed  ankles,  but  stuffed  out  her  sleeves  with 
big  wool  bags,  wore  another  huge  bag  behind  for  a  "  bustle,"  and  stuck 
a  torloiscshcll  comb  on  the  top  of  her  hair,  so  high  that  her  head  was 
almost  twice  the  length  of  her  face.  Where,  then,  were  painters

THE   CHAMPION'S   CHALLENGE. 

[HE  **  Crown  and  Glove"  is  a  favourite  tavern  sign  to  be 
seen  in  m.iny  parts  of  England,  and  has  reference  to  the 
well-known  ceremonial  of  the  royal  champion's  appear-

Champion  himself  figuring  on  the  signboard  of  an  inn  in  George 
Street,  Oxford.  The  Ust  occasion  of  the  champion's  performance  of 
the  duties  of  his  oiHce  was  at  the  coronation  of  George  IV.  He  was

of  the  second  course  of  the  coronation  banquet."  As  ai  the  coronation 
of  King  William  IV.  and  Queen  Victoria  the  banquet  in  West- 
minster Hall  was  iJispcnscd  with,  the  royal  champion's  presence  was 
not  considered  necessary.  The  ccremunial  ubservcd  at  the  corona- 
tion of  Queen  Anne,  and  closely  followed  at  the  coronation  of 
George  IV.,  was  as  follows.  The  mounted  champion  advanced  from 
the  door  of  (he  hall,  his  herald  proclaiming  at  three  different  stages  in 
his  progress  the  challenge  :  "  If  any  person,  of  what  degree  soever, 
high  or  low,  shall  deny  or  gainsay  our  Sovereign  Lady  Queen  Anne 
of  Knglaiid,  Scotland,  and  Ireland,  Defender  of  the  Faith,  &c.,  to  be 
i"ight  heir  to  the  imperial  crown  of  Great  lirltatn,  or  that  she  ought 
not  to  enjoy  the  same,  here  is  her  champion,  who  saith  that  he  licth 
and  is  a  foul  traitor,,  being  ready  in  person  to  combat  with  him,  and 
in  this  quarrel  will  adventure  his  life."  At  the  conclusion  of  each 
challenge  the  champion  threw  down  his  gauntlet,  and  paused  .twhitc. 
Having  at  length  leachcd  the  throne,  a  gold  cup  full  of  wine  was 
brought  to  the  sovereign,  who,  pledging  the  champion,  sent  him  the 
cup.  The  chiimpion  drank  from  the  cup,  and  iinaliy  departed  with 
it  and  its  cover  as  his  fee. 

7"he  championship  is  an  office  of  great  antiquity,  and  of  an  heredi- 
tary character.  The  feudal  manor  of  Scrivclsbv,  near  Hurncastlc,  in 
Lincolnshire,  carries  with  it  the  possession  of  this  utHce.  The 
lands  were  held  by  *'  barony  and  grand -serj cant ry,"  the  terms  of  the 
tenure  reijuirijig  that  at  the  coronation  the  thcMi  lord,  or  some 
person  in  his  name  if  he  be  not  able,  shall  come  *'  well-armed  for 
war  upon  a  good  war-horse  into  the  presence  of  our  lord  the  king, 
and  shall  then  and  tl\f  re  cause  it  to  be  proclaimed  that  if  any  one 
shall  say  that  our  lord  and  king  hits  no  right  to  his  crown  and 
kingdom,  he  will  be  ready  and  prepared  to  defend  with  his  body  the 
right  of  the  king  and  kingdom  against  him  and  all  others  what- 
soever." The  manor  was  ^iiiciently  vested  in  the  Mariniun  family, 
who,  it  is  said,  were  hereditary  champions  to  the  Dukes  of  Nor- 
mandy long  prior  to  the  Norman  Conquest.  However  this  may  he, 
the  Conqueror  granti;d  the  castle  and  manor  of  Tamworth  in  War- 
wickshire, and  the  manor  of  Scrivclsby  in  Lincolnshire,  to  Robert  de 
Marmion,  to  be  held  subject  to  the  pt-rformajicc  uf  the  duties  ot 
champion.  For  four  generations  the  office  descended  in  the  male 
line  without  interruption  ;  but  upon  ihe  death  of  Philip  dc  Marmion, 
without  male  issue,  in  the  reign  of  Edward  I.,  his  possessions  were 
divided  between  his  two  daughters,  the  elder  receiving  the  manor  of

estate,    continued    to   descend    in    the    Dymoke  family   for  sixteen 
generations,  when  the  manor  and  championship  became  vested  iti 
the  Rev.  John  Dymoke,  rector  of  Scrivelsby,  prebendary  of  Uncoln 
Cachcdml,  who,  called  upon  to  officiate  at  the  coronation  of  George 
IV.,  preferred  a  petition  to  the  Court  of  Claims  that  he  might,  in^J 
consideration  of  his  clerical  character,  be  petniitted  to  act  by  deputy.^H

It  has  long  been  a  popular  tradition  that  on  certain  occasions  the 
challenge  of  the  champion  has  been  .ncceptcd,  or  that  some  interruf 
tion  has  taken  place  in  Westminster  Hall  during  the  performance 
this  portion  of  the  coronation  ceremony.     It  has  been  thought  likely,

tunity  of  asserting  what  they  held  to  be  their  rights,  lest  judgment 
should  go  against  thctn,  as  it  were,  by  default,  A  legend  to  the 
effect  that  the  champion 's  gauntlet  h^s  been  uken  up,  or  another 
glove  flung  down  beside  it,  is  of  old  date,  though  there  is  much  dis- 
crepancy in  the  versions  of  the  story,  and  it  is  made  applicable  to 
more  than  one  occasion.  Miss  Strickland,  in  her  "  Life  of  Queen 
Mary  II. ,"  refers  to  a  "  gossip's  tale  "  of  this  nature,  and  describes  it 
as  pertaining  to  every  coronation  of  the  last  century  which  took  place 
while  an  heir  of  James  IL  existed.  If  any  incident  of  the  kind  took 
place,  she  imagines  it  must  have  been  at  the  coronation  of  William 
and  Mary.  "  That  there  was  a  pause  at  this  part  of  the  ceremony 
of  above  two  hours  ;  and  that  when  the  champion  appeared,  the 
gauntlet  was  heard  to  be  thrown,  but  nothing  that  was  done  could  be 
seen  on  account  of  the  darkness  of  the  evening  ;  all  this  rests  upon 
the  authority  of  Lamberiy,  the  historian  and  diplomatist."  Evelyn, 
who  was  present  in  Westminster  Hall,  says  that,  "  when  the  king 
and  queen  had  dined,  the  ceremony  of  the  champion  and  other 
lervlccs  by  tenure  were  performed  ; "  but  he  makes  no  mcmioii  ol 
tfty  interruption  of  the  proceedings  \  nor  does  he  record  the  darkness 
of  the  evening.  Lord  Macaulay,  in  his  history,  says  simply,  "  on 
the  whole  the  ceremony  went  off  well." 

The  authors  of  the  History  of  Signboards  refer  to  a  curious  anec- 
dote of  the  coronation  of  AVilliam  and  Mary  and  of  the  episode  of 
the  champion's  challenge,  which  appeared  in  the  "  Gazetteer  **  for 
August  10,  1784,  certainly  a  good  many  years  after  the  event, 
"  At  the  coronation  of  K.ing  William  and  Queen  Mary,  the  cham- 
pion of  England  dressed  in  armour  of  complete  and  glittering  steel, 
his  horse  richly  caparisoned,  and  himself  and  braver  finely  capped 
with  plumes  of  feathers,  entered  Westminster  Hall  while  the  king 
and  queen  were  at  dinner.  And  at  giving  out  the  usual  challenge  to 
any  one  that  disputed  their  majesties'  right  to  the  crown  of  England 
(when  he  has  the  honour  to  drink  the  sovereign's  health  out  of  a 
golden  cup,  always  his  fee),  after  he  had  flung  down  his  gauntlet  on 
the  pavement,  an  old  woman  who  entered  the  hall  on  crutches 
(which  she  left  behind  her),  took  it  up,  and  made  oft'  with  great 
celerity,  leaving  her  own  glove  with  a  challenge  in  it  to  meet  her 
the  next  day  at  an  appointed  hour  in  Hyde  Park.  A  person  in 
the  same  dress  appeared  the  next  day  at  the  place  appointed, 
though  it  was  generally  supposed  to  be  a  good  swordsman  in 
■  that  disguise.  However  (he  champion  of  England  politely  declined

of  that  nature  with  the  fair  sex.  and  never  made  his

appearance." 

This  story  is  circumstantial  enough.  Another  version  of  t 
same  legend  liad  appeared  in  print  long  previously,  however,  with 
the  diftcrencc  that  the  events  described  had  reference  to  the  coro- 
Jiation  of  George  I.  The  Baron  Pollnitz,  whose  memoirs  were 
published  in  London  in  the  year  1738,  writes  thus:  "When  the 
king  came  to  London,  he  found  subjects  as  much  attached  to  his 
person  IS  those  he  bad  left  at  Hanover  ;  and  not  long  after  his  arrival 
he  was,  according  to  custom,  crowned  at  Westminster.  Tlicrc  was  so 
great  a  concourse  of  people  at  the  ceremony  that  it  seemed  as  if  all 
the  nation  had  flocked  thither  to  receive  their  new  sovereign.  I 
was  told  that  there  was  only  one  person,  and  that  was  a  woman, 
who  refused  to  own  him  for  king ;  and  that  this  happened  upon  the 
very  day  of  the  coronation,  when  a  champion,  armed  from  head  to 
foot,  entering  into  the  bantjueting  hall,  and,  according  to  custom, 
cha]leii;ging  any  person  whatsoever  who  did  not  acknowledge  the 
Elector  of  Hanover  as  lawful  King  of  England,  that  lady  threw 
down  her  glove,  and  with  a  very  ill-timed  eftrontery,  made  answer 
aloud— *  l"liat  Jamfs  111.  was  the  oidy  lawful  heir  of  the  crown, 
and  that  the  Elector  of  Hanover  was  an  usurper.'  " 

It  will  be  remembered  that  Sir  Walter  Scott  has  made  this  curioi 
story  available   in  his   novel    of  *'  Rcdgauntlct,"   though   he 
shifted  the  scene  of  It  again  and  applied   jt  to  the  coronation  of 
George  III.,  apparently  unaware  that  it  had  been  referred  to  previous 
coronations.     Obedient  to  the  command  of  her  uncle,  Redgauntlet, 
Lilias,  the  heroine  of  the  novel,  upon   the  third  sounding  of  th^^l 
champion's  challenge,  rushes  in,  a  lane  being  opened  for  her  in  th*^^ 
crowd  "  as  though  by  word  of  command,"  picks  up  *'the  paradcr's 
gage,"  and  leaves  another  in  lieu  of  it.     "  1  have  oltcn  heard,"  says 
Darsic  Latimer,  to  whom  she  relates  her  adventure,  "  ihat  a  female, 
supposed  Co  be  a  man  in  disguise, — and  yet,  Lilias,  you  do  not  look 
very  masculitic — had  taken  up  the  champion's  gauntlet  at  the  pre- 
sent king's  coronation,  and  left  in   its  place  a  gage  of  battle  with  a 
paper,  olfcting  to  accept  the  combat  provided  a  fair  iicid  should  be 
allowed  for  it.      T  have  hitherto  considered  it  as  an  idle  talc 
have  little  thought  how  nearly  I  was  iiitcrcslcd  in  the  actors  of 
scL-nc  so  daring."     In  an  apologetic  note  Sir  Walter  quotes  tradition, 
"  which  many  people,"  he  says,  "  may  recollect  having  heard,"  as 
an   excuse    for  what   might   be  considered   a  violent   infraction  of

probability  in  this  exploit  of  Lilias  Rcdgaimtlct.  He  is  disposed  to 
regard  the  legend,  however,  as  one  of  the  numerous  fictions  which 
were  circulated  from  time  to  time  to  keep  up  the  spirits  of  a  sinking 
faction.  The  incident,  he  maintains,  was  possible,  however,  if  it 
could  be  supposed  to  be  attended  by  any  motive  adequate  to  the 
risk,  and  might  be  imagined  to  occur  to  a  person  of  Redgiiuntlet's 
enthusiastic  character. 

We  may  perhaps  be  permitted  a  little  surprise  that  Sir  Walter,  in 
adapting  this  tradition  to  the  purposes  of  his  novel,  did  not  combine 
with  it  the  legend,  certainly  of  equal  authenticity — not  that  that  is 
saying  so  very  much  for  it — to  the  effect  that  the  Pretender — the 
Young  Pretender  he  should  be  called,  for  the  old  chevalier  was  still 
living— was  present  in  prison  at  the  coronation  of  George  III. 
The  taking  up  of  the  champion's  glove  by  Lilias,  in  the  actual 
presence  of  the  prince  on  whose  behalf  the  deed  was  accomplished, 
would  surely  have  been  a  subject  worthy  of  the  great  romancist's 
pen. 

The  question  as  to  the  secret  visits  i\i  the  Pretender  to  London, 
has  often  occupied  attention.  Lord  Stanhope  says  :  **  He  undertook 
a  mysterious  journey  to  England  in  1750,  and  perhaps  another  in 
1752  or  17531"  and  appears  to  think  that  the  evidence  of  other 
visits  arises  out  of  a  confused  account  of  the  admitted  journey  of 
1750,  and  the  conjectural  visit  of  a  few  years'  later.  That  Charles 
Edward  came  to  EngL-ind  in  1750  appears  to  be  beyond  dispute. 
Dr.  King,  in  his  "  Anecdotes  of  his  own  Time  "  [published  in 
1818),  relates  that  in  September,  ^750,  he  was  introduced  to  the 
prince  at  the  house  of  Lady  Primrose,  iji  Ksscx  Street  \  that  he  re- 
mained for  five  days  in  I^ondcii,  and  that  he  came  one  evening  to 
the  doctor's  lodgings  and  drank  tea.  The  Right  Hon.  Charles 
William  Wynn  added  a  note  to  his  sister's  diarj*  (published  in  1864, 
as  "The  Diary  of  a  Lady  of"  Quality"),  to  the  effect  that  his 
grandmother  had  often  repeated  to  him  the  account  which  she  had 
herself  received  from  Lady  I'rimrose,  of  Charles  Edward's  visit  in 
1750.  **She  described  her  consternation  when  Mr.  Browne  (the 
name  under  which  he  was  to  go)  was  announced  to  her  in  the 
midst  of  a  card-party  among  whom  were  many  who  she  felt  might 
have  seen  him  abroad,  and  would  very  probably  recognise  him.  Her 
cards  almost  dropped  from  her  hands,  but  she  recovered  herself  and 
got  him  out  of  the  room  as  quickly  as  she  could.  He  slept  at  her 
house  chat  night  only,  and  afterwards  went  to  that  of  a  merchant  in

[Aprii 


the  City."  Further,  the  fact  of  this  visit  Is  substantiated  by  tK 
tncmorandi  in  the  prince's  own  handwriting  discovered  among  thi 
Stuart  Papers,  in  the  royal  library,  and  communicated  to  the  Times 
newspaper  by  Mr.  Woodward,  the  Queen's  librarian,  in  December, 
1864.  It  is  clear  that  the  prince  arrived  in  London  on  the  i6th  of 
September,  1750,  and  took  his  departure  on  the  22nd.  Not  reckon- 
ing the  broken  days  of  arrival  and  departure,  this  agrees  with  Dr. 
King's  account  that  ihc  prince's  stay  lasted  "  for  live  days  only." 

An  earlier  visit  than  this  of  1750  is  mentioned  by  Forsyth,  in  his 
work  on  Italy,  first  published  in  1813.  The  prince  is  stated  to  have 
travelled  to  London  in  "  a  hideous  disguise,"  in  the  year  174.8,  under, 
the  name  of  Smith.  (It  may  be  noted  that  the  name  of  "Smith 
had  been  assumed  by  the  prince's  great  grandfather,  Charles  1.,  o\ 
the  occasion  of  his  secret  and  romantic  visit  to  Spain  in  1623,  and  it 
was  destined  to  be  the  name  adopted  by  King  Louis  Philippe  when 
he  fled  disguised  from  France,  at  the  revolution  of  1848,  so  thai 
in  future,  Smith  may  be  regarded  as  a  kind  of  royal  alias.)  On  his 
arrival  in  London,  the  prince  is  said  to  have  been  introduced  at  mid- 
night into  a  room  full  of  conspirators,  with  whom  he  was  unac 
quainted.  ''  Here,"  said  his  conductor,  *' is  the  person  you  want," 
and  he  left  the  prince  locked  up  in  this  mysterious  assembly. 
**  Dispose  of  me,  gentlemen,  as  you  please,"  said  Charles  Edward  j 
*■'■  my  life  is  In  your  power,  and  I  therefore  can  stipulate  for  nothing. 
Yet  give  me,  I  entreat  you,  one  solemn  promise,  that  if  your 
design  should  succeed  the  present  family  shall  be  scut  safely  and 
honourably  home."  For  a  week  the  prince  remained  in  London, 
ajid  was  even  recognised  in  the  streets  by  various  persons,  but  be- 
trayed by  none.  He  was  sanguine  of  the  success  of  the  conspiracy, 
but  difficulties  arose  on  the  part  of  the  French  ambassador,  whose 
court  had  cooled  in  the  Stuart  cause,  and  he  presently  returned  to 
Paris,  '*  to  encounter  cruel  indignity,  and  was  there  arrested  am 
expelled  the  kingdom." 

Such  is  the  story  told  by  Forsyth,  as  a  rule  a  writer  of  rcmarkab! 
accuracy.  Lord  Stanhope  assumes  that  Forsyth  h:id  been  mis- 
taken in  the  year,  and  that  he  had  referred  to  1748  the  event*  of 
1750.  The  expulsion  from  France,  however,  which  is  stated  10 
have  been  subsequent  to  the  visit  to  London,  took  place  in 
December,  1748.  If  there  is  any  mistake  in  the  story,  it  is  plain 
therefore  that  it  is  more  than  one  of  date  merely.  Forsyth's  story, 
however,  docs  not  appear  to  be  substantiated  by  any  other  writer.

In  favour  of  the  belief  that  the  prince  visited  London  in  1753  or 
'754->  evidence  of  iomc  importance  can  be  adduced.  In  the 
*^  Memoirs  of  Philip  Thickness c,"  published  in  1790,  it  i^  stated 
that  the  prince  came  to  London  about  the  year  175+,  **  contrary  to 
the  advice  of  »ll  his  friends  around  )  but  he  was  dctcrmincrd,  he  said, 
to  sec  the  capital  of  that  kingdom  over  which  he  thought  himself 
bom  to  reign.  After  being  a  few  hours  at  a  lady's  house  in  Essex 
Street,  in  the  Strand,  he  was  met  by  one  who  knew  his  person,  in 
Hyde  Park,  and  who  made  an  attempt  to  kneel  to  him.  I'his 
circumstance  so  alarmed  the  lady  at  whose  house  he  resided,  that  a 
boat  was  procured  the  same  nrght,  and  he  returned  insta.nt]y  to 
France."  ThickjK-sse,  however,  may  have  confussJ  the  dates,  and 
may  be  describing  over  again  the  visit  recorded  by  Dr.  King.  The 
lady  in  Essex  Street  is  clearly  Lady  Primrose,  while,  it  may  be  rioted, 
the  statement  that  the  prince  came  to  sec  the  capital  of  his  kingdom, 
goes  to  contradict  the  stories  of  his  having  previously  visited  London. 
He  could  hardly  say  that  he  came  to  see  the  capital  if  he  had  already  - 
been  there  on  one  or  two  occasions.  That  Lady  Primrose,  however, 
may  have  had  the  honour  and  the  danger  of  receiving  the  prince  at  her 
house  in  Essex  Street,  both  in  1750  and  in  1753,  is  not  improbable. 
Such  a  view  of  the  case,  moreover,  is  supported  by  the  important 
evidence  of  David  Hume,  contained  in  a  letter  to  Sir  John  Pringlc, 
ilatcd  lOth  February,  1773  :  "That  the  present  Pretender  was  in 
London  in  the  year  1753,  I  know  with  the  greatest  certainty, 
because  I  had  it  from  Lord  Marischal,  who  said  it  consisted  with  his 
cenain  knowledge.  Two  or  three  days  after  his  lordship  gave  me 
this  information,  he  told  me  that  the  evening  before  he  had  learnt 
several  curious  particulars  firom  a  lady  whom  I  imagine  to  be  Lady 
Primrose,  though  my  lord  refused  to  name  her.  The  Pretender 
came  to  her  house  in  the  evening  without  giving  her  any  prep.iratory 
information,  and  entered  the  room  wht-re  she  had  a  pretty  large 
company  with  her,  and  was  herself  playing  at  cards.  He  was 
announced  by  the  servant  under  another  name.  She  thought  the 
cards  would  have  dropped  from  her  hands  on  seeing  him ;  but  she 
had  presence  of  mind  enough  to  call  liim  by  the  name  he  assumed, 
to  ask  him  when  he  came  to  England,  and  how  long  he  intended  to 
stay  there.  After  all  the  company  went  away,  the  servants  remarked 
how  wonderfully  like  the  str;ingc  gentleman  was  to  the  prince's 
picture  which  hung  on  the  chimney  in  the  very  room  in  which  he 
entered.     My  lord  added  (I  think  on  the  authority  of  the  same  lady)

thut  he  used  so  little  precaution,  that  he  went  abroad  openly  in 
daylight  in  his  own  dress,  only  laying  aside  his  blue  riband  and  st:ir ; 
walked  once  through  St.  James's,  and  took  a  turn  in  the  Mall. 
About  five  years  ago  I  told  this  to  Lord  Holdcrncssc,  who  was 
Secretary  of  Sute  in  the  year  1753,  and  I  added,  I  supposed  this 
piece  of  iiitclligencc  liad  escaped  his  lordship.  '  By  no  means,*  said 
he,  'and  who  do  ynu  think  first  told  it  me?  It  was  the  King 
himself  (Cleorgc  II.},  who  subjoined  "  And  what  do  you  think,  my 
lord,  I  should  do  with  htm  ?  "  *  Lord  Holdernessc  owned  that  he 
was  puzzled  how  to  reply  ;  for  if  he  declared  his  real  sentiments 
they  might  Savour  of  iticiiffcrencc  to  the  royal  family.  The  King 
perceived  his  embarrassment,  and  extricated  him  from  tt  by  saying, 
*  My  lord,  I  shall  just  do  nothing  at  all,  and  when  he  is  tired  of 
England  he  will  go  abroad  again.'  I  think  this  story,  for  the  honour 
of  the  Kingj  ought  to  be  more  generally  ktmwn." 

Lord  Stanhope,  inclining  to  believe  that  the  visit  of  1750  was  the 
only  one,  and  therefore  the  subject  of  Hume's  letter,  and  that  the 
supposed  visit  of  1753  was  due  to  a  confusion  uf  dates,  took  pains 
to  show  chat  in  September,  1750,  King  George  was  absent  from 
England  in  his  Hanoverian  dominions,  and  that  the  conversation 
alleged  to  have  taken  p!.icc  with  Lord  Hotdcrnesse  was  impossible. 
The  feet  that  Lord  Holdernessc  was  not  appointed  Secretary  of 
State  until  1751,  is  however  in  fovour  of  the  accuracy  of  Hume's 
story ;  at  lease  tc  holds  together.  Sir  Walter  Scott,  it  may  be 
mentioned  in  his  notes  to  '*  Rcdgaunilet,"  gives  a  version  of  the 
conversation  between  the  king  and  his  minister ;  but  falls  into  the 
error  of  putting  George  HI.  in  th*.'  place  of  George  II.,  instancing 
the  anecdotes  as  a  proof  of  "  the  goodness  of  heart  and  kindness  of 
policy  "  of  the  former  monarch.  The  credit  arising  out  of  the  story 
is  due  to  George  H.,  if  to  any  one. 

The  account  of  his  visit  to  London  in  1750,  given  by  the  Pre- 
tender himself  in  1 783,  Lord  Stanhope  holds  to  be  *'  the  best  entitled 
to  attention,"  and  '*  in  a  high  degree  distinct  and  precise."  "It  is 
to  be  found,"  states  his  lordship,  '^  in  a  despatch  which  I  have  pub- 
lished from  Sir  Horace  Mann,  the  frlernl  of  Walpole,  and  the  British 
minister  at  Florence,  who  was  required  to  report  to  the  Secretary  of 
State  all  proceedings  of  the  Pretender."  Sir  Horace  describes  a 
conference  between  Charles  Edward  and  Gustavus,  King  of  Sweden, 
then  upon  his  travels,  and  proceeds, — '*  They  then  passed  to  com- 
mon discourse,  in  which  the  Pretender  related  some  circumstances

of  his  life  chat  h.i(i  occurred  formerly  to  Kim,  and  particularly  what 
follows:  That  in  the  mtrnth  of  Si;ptcinber,  1750,  he  came  froni 
France  in  company  only  with  a  Coluncl  Brett ;  that  they  examined 
the  exterior  parts  of  the  Tower,  one  gate  of  which  they  thought 
might  be  beaten  down  with  a  petard  \  from  that  they  went  to  u 
lodging  in  Pall  Mall,  where  abniit  fifty  of  his  friends  were  assembled^ 
among  whom  were  the  Duke  of  Beaufort  and  the  Earl  of  West- 
moreland, and  he  said  thsi  if  they  could  have  assembled  only  400^ 
men,  he  would  publicly  have  put  himself  at  the  head  of  them.  He 
suycd  there  a  fortnight,  and  asserts  that  the  government  had  never 
the  least  notice  of  it."  It  may  of  course  be  argued  that  the  Pre- 
tender made  no  other  visit  to  London  than  the  one  here  reported,  or 
he  would  surely  have  taken  the  opportunity  of  mentioning  it.  The 
statement  that  he  stayed  a  fortnight,  however,  is  at  variance  with 
his  own  memoranda  and  the  narr'aiive  of  Dr.  ^ing,  both  above 
referred  to. 

The  Pretender's  conversation  with  the  King  of  Sweden  at 
Florence,  as  related  by  Sir  Horace  Maiici  in  his  despatch,  had  been 
recorded,  previous  to  the  publication  of  that  despatch,  by  a  Mr. 
Louis  Dutcns/  who  published  in  1806  6ve  volumes  of  "Memoirs 
of  a  Traveller  now  in  Retirement."  .Mr.  Dutens  appears  to  have 
been  intimate  with  Horace  Walpolc,  and  his  name  occurs  several 
times  in  the  last  volume  of  WalpolcS  letters.  Walpolc  describes 
him  as  "  a  French  Protestant  clergyman,  who  had  been  employed  in 
the  embassy  at  Turii;,  under  Mr.  Mackenzie  and  Lord  Mountstuart, 
and  author  of  several  works."  Mr.  Dutens  writes: — *'Ina  con- 
versation which  the  K.ing  of  Sweden  held  with  the  Pretender  at 
Florence  on  the  ist  of  December,  1783,  the  latter  cold  him  that  in 
the  month  of  September,  1750,  he  was  in  London  with  Colonel 
Brett.  The  first  place  where  he  landed  was  at  the  Tower  of  London. 
He  examined  the  outsidu  of  it,  :uid  found  it  was  very  easy  to  break 
down  the  door  with  a  petard.  He  then  went  to  a  lodging  jii  Pall  Mall, 
where  the  same  evening  more  than  fifty  of  his  partisans  assembled,

•mong  whom  he  mentioned  the  DuJce  of  B  ■  t  and  Lord  W.  d  ; 
and  \ii  assured  the  tCing  uf  Sweden  that  if  he  had  seen  ttvc  proba- 
bility of  assembling  4000  men,  he  wciuld  have  put  himself  at  their 
head.  The  King  of  Sweden  repeated  the  conversation  the  same  day 
to  Sir  Horace  Mann,  from  whom  I  had  it."  It  will  be  seen  thai  this 
account  agrees  closely  with  that  contained  in  Sir  Horace's  despatch, 
except  that  there  is  no  mention  of  the  prince's  stay  in  London 
having  lasted  a  forUiight.  Mr.  Dutcns  adds, — "  Mr.  Holkcr,  an 
Englishman,  told  mc  that  he  had  attended  him  on  that  expedition, 
and  that  the  government  was  informed  of  it,  but  was  satisfied  with 
watching  his  motions." 

Concerning  this  Mr.  Holkcr,  Mr.  Dutens  in  another  part  of  his 
bock  gives  some  curious  particulars.  He  had  Arse  met  Holker  at 
the  establishment  of  the  Due  de  Choiseul  at  Chanieloup.  He  had 
been  appointed  inspector-general  of  the  manufactories  of  France,  and 
wore  the  cross  of  St.  Louis,  which  had  been  given  htm  by  the 
duke.  Born  at  Manchester,  and  brought  up  a  Jacobite,  he  had 
joined  the  Pretender  on  his  landing  in  Scotland,  and  accompanied 
him  to  Carlisle,  where,  with  sixty  other  officers,  he  was  taken 
prisoner.  Brought  to  London,  he  was  imprisoned  in  Newgate,  with 
a  friend  named  Moss.  (We  may  note  that  the  name  of  **  John 
Holkcr"  ;ippc:irs  among  the  lieutenants  in  the  "List  of  English 
Rebel  Officers  of  the  Manchester  Regiment"  taken  at  Carlisle,  con- 
tained in  the  *'  History  of  the  Rebellion,"  by  James  Ray>  of  White- 
haven, volunteer  under  his  Royal  Highness  the  Dukeof  Ctimberland, 
published  in  1759.)  Every  day  news  came  to  the  prisoners  of  the 
execution  of  their  friends,  and  they  were  in  constant  expectation  of 
death.  Ropes  and  files,  however,  were  secretly  conveyed  to  them, 
with  exact  information  of  the^plnn  and  environs  of  the  prison. 
At  last  they  were  condemned  to  die,  and  the  d.iy  was  fixed  for 
their  execution.  They  determined  upon  an  attempt  at  escape. 
They  had  by  degrees  filed  the"  irons  which  were  upon  their  legs,  so 
as  TO  be  able  to  break  them  in  an  instant  when  necessary.  They 
Were  confined  in  the  lirghcst  story  of  the  prison,  their  room  having 
grated  windows  which  looked  upon  a  gutter.  They  had  filed  two 
bars  of  the  grating  of  one  of  the  windows.  To  escape  it  was  neces- 
sary for  them  to  go  along  the  gutter  until  they  reached  the  top  of  the 
house  of  a  hosier  ;  but  b^-tween  the  house  and  the  prison  was  a 
narrow  courtyard  of  eight  feet  wide,  which  they  would  have  to  cross  ; 
they  would  then  let  themselves  down  into  the  hosier's  yard  by  mejns

of  their  clothes  torn  into  strips  .md  twisted  into  ropes,  when  a  wall 
of  only  seven  or  eight  feet  high  would  separate-  them  from  the  street. 
The  nuin  difficulty  was  to  cross  the  courtyard.  It  occurred  to 
them  to  split  a  Liblc  which  they  h;id  in  their  room,  and  to  join  the 
three  boards  together,  tying  ^^^^  ""  *<>  t^^^  end  of  the  other,  so  as  to 
form  3  bridge  of  eight  feet  and  .1  half  long  and  seven  or  eight  inches 
ride.  They  tested  its  strength  repeatedly,  by  placing  the  two  ends 
'^of  it  on  two  chairs,  and  they  found  that  though  it  bent  considerably 
under  the  weight  of  a  man,  it  would,  however,  bear  him,  if,  as  they 
proposed  to  use  It^  he  crawled  along  upon  his  hands  and  knees.  An 
hour  after  midnight  they  began  their  ;ittempt  at  escape.  The  light 
of  the  moon  favoured  them,  but  it  also  revealed  the  danger  to  which 
they  were  exposed  in  crossing  their  frail  bridge  ac  a  frightful  height 
from  the  ground.  The  one  who  remiiiucd  on  the  prison  side  held 
the  plank  while  his  friend  p-issed  over,  who  then  made  it  fast  to  the 
house.  They  nude  their  way  through  the  hosier's  premises  in  safety, 
in  tpite  of  an  alarm  of  "  thieves,"  and  the  loud  barlcing  of  a  dog- 
Once  over  the  outside  wall  and  in  the  street,  they  parted  company. 
Holker  went  to  the  house  of  a  fnejid  in  Carnaby  Market,  but  could 
not  obtain  admission.  At  last,  in  an  agony  lest  daylight  should  over- 
take and  betray  him,  he  sought  the  protection  of  a  gentleman  whom 
he  had  seen    but  once  bsfore,  and  was  received   with  the  greatest 

humajiity.     He  was  conducted  to  the  house  of  Lady  B ',  ac  the 

corner  of  Grosvcnor  Square,  where  he  remained  for  some  days.  He 
was  then  hidden  in  the  country  for  siic  months,  when  the  search  after 
htm  having  subsided,  he  escaped  to  France. 

'*  Wc  afterwards,"  Mr.  Dutcns  ptocccds,  *' as  Iced  Mr.  Holkef 
several  questions  rcUtive  to  the  Pretendi-r,  and  he  told  us  that  the 
unfortunate  prince  had  gone  himself  to  London  in  1747  {tic)  in  dis- 
guise, and  had  there  seen  many  of  his  principnl  friends,  with  whom 
he  concerted  many  measures.  Their  advice  was  that  he  should 
march  directly  for  London  before  a  force  could  be  collected  sufficient 
to  oppose  him;  and  they  assured  him  that  his  presence  would  deter- 
mine a  considerable  party  to  declare  themselves  in  his  favour. 
When  he  returned  from  Carlisle,  however,  he  was  dissuaded  from 
this  design."  There  is  evidently  a  mistake  in  the  date  given  in  this 
story.  If  true  at  all,  and  it  docs  not  seem  very  probable,  the  visit  to 
London  it  relates  must  have  happened  in  I74.5. 

We  now  come  to  the  last  of  the  alleged  visits  of  the  Pretender  to 
London,  on  the  occasion  of  the  coronation  of  George  lit.,  in  1761.

[April, 


The  following  ts  Hume's  account^  to  be  found  in  a  letter  to  Sir 
John  Pringle,  in  '*  Nichol's  Literary  Anecdotes  :" — "  Lord  Maiischal, 
a  few  days  after  the  coronation  of  the  present  king,  told  mc  he  be- 
lieved the  Pretender  was  at  that  time  in  London,  or  at  least  had  been 
so  very  lately,  and  had  come  over  to  see  ihc  show  of  the  coronation, 
and  had  actually  seen  it.  I  asked  my  lord  the  reason  for  this  strange 
fact.  'Why,'  says  he,  *  a  genllemaii  told  me  he  saw  him  there,  and 
that  he  even  spoke  to  him,  and  whispered  in  his  ear  these  words, 
**  Your  Royal  Highness  is  the  last  of  all  mortals  whom  I  should 
expect  to  sec  here."  *•  It  was  curiosity  that  led  mc/'  said  the  other. 
"  But  [  assure  you,"  added  he,  "  that  the  person  who  is  the  present 
object  of  all  this  pomp  and  magnificence  is  the  man  I  envy  least."  ' 
You  see  this  story  is  so  nearly  traced  from  the  fountain-head  as  to 
wear  a  good  deal  of  probability.  ^<ry. — What  if  the  Pretender 
IquI  taken  up  Dymock's  gauntlet  ?  " 

Horace  Walpole,  in  a  letter  to  Miss  Berrj*,  in  1791,  writes: 
"Madame  d'Albany  ....  chose  to  go  to  sec  the  king  in  the 
House  of  Lords,  with  the  crown  on  his  head,  proroguing  the  Parlia- 
ment. What  an  odd  rencontre  I  Was  it  philosophy  or  insensibility  .' 
/  believe  it  tt  certain  that  her  huiband  tvaj  in  IVtitminittr  Had  at  the 
corona  tian." 

The  Countess  of  Albany,  by  her  presence  in  London  at  this 
period,  was  creating  considerable  stir.  Wc  find  Mrs.  Haim.ih  More 
writing: — "The  Bishop  of  London  carried  me  to  hear  the  King 
make  liis  speech  in  the  House  of  Lords.  As  it  was  quite  new  to 
me)  I  was  very  well  entertained  ;  but  the  thing  that  was  most 
amusing  was  to  see,  among  the  ladies,  the  Princess  of  Stolbcrg, 
Countess  of  Albany,  wife  to  the  Pretender,  sitting  just  at  the  foot  of 
that  throne  which  she  might  once  have  expected  to  have  mounted  i 
and  what  diverted  the  company  when  I  put  them  in  mind  of  it  was, 
that  it  happened  to  be  the  toth  uf  June,  the  Pretender's  birthday.  I 
have  the  honour  to  be  very  much  like  her,  and  this  opinion  was  con- 
firmed yesterday  when  we  met  again." 

As  a  final  note  on  the  subject  of  the  Prince's  presence  in  England 
in  l^in^,  we  may  add  the  mention  of  the  occurrence  to  be  found  in 
the  memoirs  of  Mr.  Dutcns  ; — *■' The  Duke  de  Choiscul  assured 
mc,"  he  writes,  "  that  in  1761  the  Pretender  was  present  at  the 
coronation  of  the  King  of  England  j  and  that  the  British  ministry 
knew  this,  but  pretended  to  be  ignorant  of  it." 

Altogether,  if  the  evidence  bearing  upon  the  question  is  of  rather

a  he2rsa.)r  kind,  and  not  such  as  would  be  accepted  in  a  court  of 
justice,  it  yet  appears  that  the  popular  tradidon  has  some  ground  to 
go  upon,  and  that  there  is  a  degree  of  leisan  for  thinking  that  the 
Prince  might,  had  he  felt  so  disposed,  have  lifted  up  the  champion's 
glove  at  the  coronation  banquet  of  George  III.  What  conse-

have  crossed  swords  with  Dyinoke,  what  the  result  of  such  a  combat 
in  Westminster  Hall  or  elsewhere  would  have  been,  and  how  the 
Hanoverian  dynasty  might  have  been  thereby  aftected — are  matters 
we  must  leave  to  the  imagination  of  the  reader,  and  the  conjectures 
of  the  curious.

In  the  animal  kingdom  birds  have  come  in  for  a  full  share  of  this 
legendary  lore,  and  it  is  very  remarkable  how,  in  all  ages  and  nations, 
certain  species,  on  account  of  their  peculiar  habits  and  character, 
have  always  been  held  to  be  objects  of  horror  and  alarm.  Thus 
the  owl  has  given  rise  to  wide-spread  superstitions,  and  has  ever 
been  considered  a  bird  oi  ill-omen,  and  its  unexpected  appearance  a 
portent  of  death  and  disaster.     Kvcn  whole  nations  have  been  influ

lustration  owing  to  the  appearance  in  its  temples  of  the  dreaded 
great  owl  (Bubo  maxiinus).  On  one  of  these  occasions  this  bird, 
We  arc  told,  penetrated  to  the  very  heart  of  the  Capitol.  We  need 
not,  however,  go  further  than  our  own  land  to  lear/i  the  character 
of  the  owl.  Shakspenre  constantly  alludes  to  the  ''bird  of  night" 
thus : — 

"  Whilst  ll]<f  strccch-ow!,  »ci«cclui^  loud,

Matiak,  Att  /.,  Scfm  tT 

The  owl,  which  popular  belief  has  invested  with  supernatural 
power,  is  undoubtedly  the  barn  or  scrccch-owI  (Strix  flammca). 
The  nocturnal  habits,  light  ghost-like  colour,  silent  buoyant  flight, 
and  occasionally  uttered  dismal  screech,  **  malting  night  hideous," 
all  combine  to  strike  terror  into  the  heart  of  the  ignorant  and  super- 
stitious, impressing  them  with  the  conviction  that '  some  great 
misfortune  is  impending.  The  wild  legend  of  the  Banshee,  a  legend 
not  alone  confined  tu  the  sister-isle,  has  probably  originated  tn  the 
cry  of  the  useful  and  harmless  barn-owl.  Many  arc  the  wild  stories 
connected  with  the  "  bird  of  night.'*  Its  presence  is  linked  with 
the  fate  of  an  aristocratic  race;  tradition  says  the  .appearance  of  two 
spectral  owls  of  immense  size  on  the  battlements  of  Wardour 
Castle,  Wiltshire,  still  warns  the  noble  family  of  Arundel!  of  the 
approach  of  the  last  enemy.  It  is  a  curious  fact  that  the  same 
superstition  is  associated  with  the  cry  of  the  owl  in  an  opposite 
quarter  of  the  globe.  In  the  forest  lands  of  the  fiir  West,  the  red- 
skin shrinks  with  alarm  as  he  listens  to  the  dismal  screeching  of  the 
horned  owl  (Bubo  Virginianus),  firmly  believing  that  its  wild  cries 
portend  some  dire  calamity.  Wilson,  the  American  ornithologist, 
in  describing  the  cry  of  these  owls,  says,  **  This  ghostly  watchman

has  frequently  warned  me  of  the  approach  of  morning,  sweeping 
down  and  around  my  fires,  uttering  a  loud  and  sudden  '  Waugh  O  ! 
Waugh  O  ! '  suiBcient  to  have  alarmed  a  whole  garrison.  He  has 
other  nocturnal  solos,  one  of  which  veiy  strikingly  resembles  the 
half-suppressed  scream  of  a  person  su^ocatjng  or  throttled."  Sir 
John  Richardson  narrates  the  circumsunce'  of  a  party  of  Scottish 
Highlanders  who  passed  a  long  winter's  night  of  intense  fear  in  the 
depth  of  an  American  pine  forest.  They  had  made  their  bivouac 
6rc  from  wood  taken  from  an  Indian  lomh;  all  night  long  the 
shrieks  of  the  Vii^inian  owl  rang  in  their  affrighted  cars — cries  which 
they  at  once  judged  came  from  the  spirit  of  the  old  warrior  bemoan- 
ing his  desecrated  resting-place. 

Next  to  the  owl,  the  raven  has  ever  been  considered  a  bird  of  evil 
omen.  By  the  Romans  he  was  dedicated  to  Apollo.  But  it  was 
particularly  amongst  the  northern  nations  that  the  grim  ravcii 
invested  with  supernatural  powers.  He  was  the  bird  uf  Odin, 
and  bears  no  insignificant  place  in  northern  mythology  ;  par  exceUeme 
the  bird  of  the  ba:ilc-hcld,  his  very  likeness  has  floated  over  many  a 
scene  of  slaughter,  for  the  old  heathen  banner  of  Denmark  was  the 
ravcn^that  mystic  banner,  which,  says  the  legend,  was  woven  in 
one  night  by  three  weird  sisters,  and  called  Reafcn  or  Rumfan,  from 
bearing  the  figure  of  the  raven. ^ 

On  the  Bayeux  tapestry,  William  the  Conqueror,  who  was  de- 
scended from  the  old  vikings,  is  represented  at  the  battle  of  Hastings, 
as  going  into  the  fight  with  a  banner,  on  which  is  portrayed  the  bird 
of  Odin.  When,  however,  in  Denmark,  "Thor's  hammer"  fell 
before  **  Christ's  cross,"  the  old  raven  banner  was  superseded  by  the 
white  cross  of  the  Danncbrog. 

frequent  mention  is  made  of  the  raven  by  the  old  Knglish  poets. 
Spenser  styles  him — 

"  Tlic  lioanc  night  niven,  trompe  of  ilakTal  drearc;"

And,  is  llic  iliariow  o(  ihc  »ilent  night,

Shakespeare  repeatedly  makes  mention  of  the  raven  or  night  crow. 
Thus,  Othella  is  made  to  say — 

"  O,  it  comet  o'er  roy  mecoory. 
As  dolh  the  ia<rcn  o'er  tlic  inlectiouii  hotue.

Referring  to  the  belief  thai  this  bird  haunts  the  neighbourhood  of 
the  house  where  death  is  impending.  As  an  illustration  of  the 
horror  inspired  by  the  raven  in  more  modern  times,  wc  arc  told  of  a 
woman  seeking  relief  from  h  board  of  guardians,  on  the  pica  of 
"grief,"  brought  on  by  a  croaking  n.\Kn  flying  over  her  cottage, 
from  which  she  was  so  (lightened  and  depressed  as  to  be  incapable 
of  work.'' 

Probably  the  popular  dread  of  the  raven  may,  in  part,  be  due  to 
remote  tradition.  "Well  might  our  ancestors  in  the  eastern  counties 
dread  the  advent  of  the  raven  banner — 

"  Kor  there 
Wh  »Ii«ddine  oT  blood,  and  midinc  oT  hair. 
Rape  uf  maitlrn,  aiid  ilauifhier  of  priol, 
Gathering  of  ntv^tu  and  woLvei  tv  the  feaU  ; 
Vr'hciL  ibcy  hoisted  tliai  KiAixlairl  black. 
Before  ihcm  wxi  battle,  behind  Ukio  vrack." 

There  is  an  old  Cornish  tradition  ^  that  King  Arthur  ts  still  living 
in  the  form  of  a  raven,  changed  into  that  shape  by  magic,  and  that 
some  day  he  will  resume  his  kingly  form  again. 

The  magpie  is  considered  either  a  lucky  or  unlucky  bird,  accord- 
ing to  the  number  seen  together.  Our  readers  will  remember  the 
old  lines— 

•*  Oivc  for  sonow  ;

Three  Tor  a  vredcling  ; 
Fcur  fof  drjth." 

The  same  auguiy  holds  good  throughout  Great  Britain;  occ;i-

wonally  the  last  line  runs  "  Four  for  a  birth,"  but  this  is  not  the 
correct  reading.  Mr.  Brand,''  quoting  from  '•*■  The  Glossary  to  the 
Complaynt  of  Scotland,"  remarks  : — *'  Many  an  old  woman  would 
more  willingly  sec  the  devil,  who  bodes  no  more  ill-luck  than  he 
brings,  than  a  magpie  perching  on  a  neighbouring  tree."  It  is  very 
probable  that  the  superstitious  feeling  respecting  this  bird  is  of 
ScaudinavJan  origin.  In  Norway  the  magpie  is  considered  almost  a. 
sacred  bird,  xnJ  it  is  held  extremely  unlucky  to  kill  one.  The 
northern  magpies  appear  quite  to  understand  this^  and  give  them- 
selves airs  accordingly.  Nearly  ever)*  cottage  has  a  pair  in  attend- 
ance, which,  from  long  immunity,  have  become  singularly  tame  and 
fearless — hopping  about  the  door,  or  perched  on  the  roof,  heedless  of 
passers-by,  evidently  considering  themselves  part  of  the  establish- 
ment. A  striking  contrast  to  the  shy,  wary,  gun-fearing  bird,  we 
see  in  England  ;  truly,  the  Norwegian  magpies  are  fortunate. 

Who  has  not  a  welcome  for  the  familiar  robin,  with  his  bright  eye 
and  crimson  breast,  or  listened  wtth  more  than  wonted  pleasure, 
when  othcT  songsters  arc  silent,  to  his  swccc,  clear  notes,  poured 
forth  in  the  pleasant  autumn  weather,  exquisitely  in  unison  with  the 
"  calm  decay  "  of  nature  ?  There  is  a  belief  in  some  parts  of  the 
country  that  robins  will  sing  near  the  window  where  a  person  is 
dying,  cheering  the  car  about  to  close  to  all  earthly  sounds  with  the 
last  pensive  notes  of  earthly  music.  Another  legend  Is,  that  the 
robin  attended  our  Lord  on  the  cross,  and  was  there  sprinkled  with 
his  blood,  the  marks  of  which  the  tittle  songster  still  carries  on  his 
ruddy  breast. 

There  is  also  a  curious  Welsh  superstition  connected  with  the 
redbreast' — That  far  away  in  a  land  of  woe  .ind  fire,  *'  day  by  day 
does  the  little  bird  bear  in  his  bill  a  drop  of  water  to  quench  the 
flame — so  near  docs  he  fly  that  his  feathers  arc  scorched,  and  hence 
he  is  named  Brun-rhuddyn  "  (breast-burnt).  From  his  devotion  to 
the  cause  of  the  lost,  he  feels  the  biting  cold  of  winter  more  than 
any  other  bird,  and  has,  consequently,  a  greater  claim  on  our 
gratitude. 

There  is  a  German  legend  about  the  cross-bill  very  similar  to  the 
one  narrated  of  the  redbreast,  which  Longfellow  has  rendered  in 
some  well-known  lines.     For  the  information  of  such  of  our  readers

who  are  not  ornithologists,  wc  will  here  remark  that  the  crosibUI  U 
a  small  bitil,  six  ur  seven  inches  in  length,  the  upper  and  lower  part 
oTthe  beak  overlapping  each  other,  giving  that  organ  an  appearance 
of  deformity.  This  is,  however,  very  far  from  being  the  case,  as  it 
is  admirably  adapted  by  nature  for  splitting  open  and  extracting  the 
seeds  from  the  cones  of  coniferous  trees,  on  which  food  it  principally 
Subsists.  The  adult  male  is  a  bright  crimson  colour.  The  legend 
relates  that  when  our  Lord  was  on  the  cross  this  little  bird  strove 
unceasingly  to  release  him,  patiently  working  hour  after  hour,  with 
damaged  beak  and  blood-stained  plumage,  to  draw  out  the  cruel 
nails,  and  in  token  of  such  rare  devotion,  the  faithful  bird  has  eve 
since  retained  the  crossed  beak  and  ruddy  plumage. 

The  legend  is  thus  related  in  Omt  a  IVttk^  vol.  jii,  p.  722  : — 


**  There  U  a  little  binl,  mtunmo,

A  curious  superstition  prevails  in  some  of  the  southern  counties 
connected  with  gamc'birds — that  a  person  cannot  die  easily  on  a  bed 
stuffcrd  with  game  feathers,  as,  when  such  is  the  case,  they  invariably 
prolong  the  death  agony — using  a  provincial  phrase,  the  "  poor  soul 
dies  hard  j"  and  it  is  not  an  uncommon  occurrence  in  a  lingering 
illness,  and  when  the  presence  of  game  feathers  in  the  bed  is 
suspected,  to  expedite  the  departure  of  the  sufferer  by  changing  his 
bed. 

The  poetic  legend  of  the  death-song  of  the  dying  swan  is  of  1

siderable  antiquity,     fliny'  was  acquaiii

own   poets   have   done   much   to   fiuniliaiisc 
Spenser  speaks  of— 

"  Tlie  jealous  swoo,  a}'rat  hys  tkth  that  tingeth  ;'* 

and  Tennyson's  beautiful  lines  on  the  "  Dying  Swan,"  will  at  once 
occur  to  our  readers.  The  whole  poem  is  a  wonderful  piece  of 
word  painting,  bringing  the  scene  vividly  before  us, — the  wild,  grassy 
plain,  and  cold,  grey  sky — the  sluggish  river,  with  its  fringe  of  reeds, 
and  one  solitary  wUlow-^bcyond  these 

"  Sotnc  blue  peaks  ia  tlic  JLtliuicc  rose, 
And  wliile  agaiiiit  Uie  tuM-wliite  kky, 
SIioim:  out  their  croumtng  mom." 

Wc  can  almost  fancy  we  hear  the  low  musical  notes  of  the  dying 
bird,  as  it  slowly  diifts  down  the  river — notes  which  ring  out  "  full 
and  clear,"  and  flooding  that  desolate  place  "  with  eddying  song." 
The  legend  of  the  swan's  deatb-di^e  originated  a  cutting  epigram 
hy  S.  T.  Coleridge,  addressed  to  had  singers.  It  is  far  from  compli- 
mentary, but  wc  give  it  as  it  is  :— 


'  Smuu  ting  before  Ibey  die  :  'twere  no  bad  thing 
Should  certain  penons  die  before  Ihcy  »ing. " 


The  call-nute  of  the  wild  swan  is  extremely  wild  and  trumpet^ 
like.  The  varied  notes  proceeding  from  a  flock  of  these  birds  when 
on  the  wing,  blended  by  distance,  and  floating  downwards  on  the 
stiil  air,  have  a  startling  resemblance  to  the  music  of  a  pack  of 
hounds  in  full  cry.  Some  years  siiice,  we  were  fortunate  in 
seeing  a  flight  of  forty-two  of  these  noble  birds  pass  over  the 
marshland,  and  found  some  difficulty  in  persuading  ourselves  that 
the  cries  were  of  aerial  origin.  The  gaggle  of  a  passing  flock  of 
wild  geese  also  often  strikingly  resembles  the  cry  of  a  distant  pack  of 
hounds — so  much  so,  indeed,  that  wc  have  seen  horses  prick  up 
their  ears  and  exhibit  every  sign  of  excitement,  completely  deceived 
by  the  resemblance  to  the  familiar  sound. 

Durir^  their  autumn  migrations,  these  large  migratory  birds  fre- 
quently fly  by  night,  and  in  dull,  cloudy  weather  keep  up  a  continual 
calling.     Familiar  as  the  sound  is  to  dwellers  in  the  country,  it  has

given  rise  to  a  wild  and  widc-sprc3<J  superstition.  Wc  arc  told  that 
this  mysterious,  nocturnal  melody,  proceeds  from  a  pack,  of  demon 
dogs,  yclept  "  Gabriel's  Hounds,"  or,  as  they  arc  sometimes  termed, 
the  "  Devil's  dandy-dogs."  Two  forms  of  this  wild  legend  are  pre- 
valent— the  one  common  to  Wales  and  the  south-west  of  England — 
that  this  yelping  pack  are  evil  spirits  hounding  forward  the  souls 
of  the  lost  to  their  final  punishment.  The  other  bears  a  striking 
resemblance  to  the  German  story  of  the  "  Wild  Huntsman,"  the 
demon  knight  called  Hackelnbarend,  and  is  doubtless  of  Teutonic 
origin.'  Wordsworth  appears  to  have  been  acquainted  with  this 
form  of  the  superstition — 

"  lie  oftenliincs  will  swrt, 
For,  overhew!,  are  swcefring  Gabriel's  Hoaiul^ 
Doomeit,  'witli  tlieir  impouK  lord,  the  flying  tuut 
To  diasc  for  ever  ilireuj:h  aerial  gruunds.." 

Those  who  have  sailed  up  the  Bosphorus  may  have  observed,  in 
the  twilight  or  early  morning,  flocks  of  sober- coloured  pcirel-lifce 
birds,  skimming  backwards  and  forwards,  close  to  the  water,  never 
resting  for  a  moment,  but  thus  unceasingly  flitting  to  and  fro 
through  the  hours  of  darkness,  ever  in  perfect  silence,  with  the  same 
swift,  untiring  flight  and  restless  activity,  as  If  looking  for  something 
lost.  During  the  day  they  betake  themselves  to  some  quiet  retreat, 
again  issuing  forth  in  the  twilight  to  renew  their  mysterious  wander- 
ings. The  Turks  believe  that  these  birds  arc  the  souls  of  the  damned, 
thus  compelled,  by  a  just  retribution,  to  wander  for  ever  hopelessly 
and  unceasingly  over  water  as  restless  and  unquiet  as  themselves. 
These  poor  birds,  however,  are  only  following  the  dictates  of  nature, 
happily  and  actively  engaged  in  seeking  their  food  on  the  shifting 
waters.  At  some  seasons  they  are  not  uncommon  on  our  own  shores, 
more  particularly  in  the  neighbourhood  of  the  Isle  of  Man,  and  are 
known  to  ornithologists  as  the  "  Shearwater." 

With  the  same  untiring  activity  as  the  shearwater  the  little  petrel 
flits  over  the  stormy  sea,  finding  a  congenial  home  on  the  wide  waste 
of  waters,  thousands  of  miles  from  land,  day  by  day  following  in  the 
wake  of  the  lonely  ship.  One  would  have  almost  expected  the  com- 
panionship of  these  small  birds  in  these  ocean  solitudes  would  have

been  welcome  to  the  mariner,  reminding  him  of  home,  so  like  are 
they  in  their  habits  to  swallows  skimming  over  the  green  fields  of 
ocean;  but  sailors  are  proverbially  supcrsririous,  and  ever  consider 
the  presence  of  the  petrel  as  the  signal  of  foul  weather,  and  &tyle  them 
"Mother  Gary's  chickens." 

"  The  m.itincr  cuMcth  Ihe  warning  binl 
WItich  btiiiigcch  hint  newx  of  Llie  itorm  unlicanl." 

There  is  no  doubt  that  petrels  carry  the  news  of  bad  weather,  for 
they  naturally  fly  before  the  approaching  siorm,  and  seek  the  nearest 
shelter,  and  then  congregate  often  in  considerable  numbers  in  the 
vicinity  of  the  only  point  in  the  storm-swept  sea,  tlic  homeward  or 
outward-bound  ship.  Birds  of  the  sea  though  they  be,  they  are  not 
able  to  contend  against  unsuualJy  heavy  gales,  and  numerous  instances 
are  on  record  of  their  being  picked  up  in  an  exhausted  state,  far 
inland,  driven  in  by  stress  of  weather. 

There  is  a  remarkable  legend  connected  with  the  nppearance  of  a 
phantom  bird,  with  a  white  breast,  and  of  an  unknown  species,  which 
appears  at  the  death  of  the  members  of  an  old  Devonshire  family  ofj 
the  name  of  Oxcnhani.  Wc  arc  told  that,  when  any  of  this  family 
are  on  their  death-bed,  that  this  strange  bird,  with  the  white  breast, 
is  seen  to  flutter  for  a  time  about  the  bed,  and  then  suddenly  to 
vanish.  Chambers,'' quoting  from  **  HowcH's  Familiar  Letters/'  says 
that  Mr.  James  Ilowcll  saw  in  a  lapidary's  shop  in  London,  a  marble 
slab  to  be  sent  into  Devonshire,  with  an  inscription  that  ''John 
Oxenham,  Mary  his  sister,  James  his  son,  and  Eiiz;ibcth  his  mochcr, 
had  each  the  appearance  of  such  a  bird  fluttering  about  their  beds  as 
they  were  dying." 

To  t|uote  Mrs.  Hemans  :— 

"  A  [wic  bird,  flininc,  call*  lliem  liomfc'" 

Innumerable,  indeed,  arc  the  wild  talcs  and  superstitions  connected 
with  bird-lore,  not  peculiar  to  our  own  country,  but  common  to 
many  lands.  Unquestionably,  many  of  these  legends  belong  to 
remote  ages,  and  have  been  handed  down  to  our  day  from  generation 
to  generation  \  and  will  doubtless,  In  spite  of  education  and  advanced 
scientific  research,  continue  to  find  a  place  in  the  fuik-lore  of  our 
race  to  the  end  of  time.

them  by  law,  gaze  serenely  upon  you  from  the  roadside,  as  you  pass  \

chapters,  and  contains  "  a  sketch  of  the  history  of  deer  parks,"  fhMn 
the  Conquest  \.^  the  present  time.  The  second  consists  of  eight 
chapters,  which  give  a  full  archzological,  and  very  interesting 
account  of  all  the  deer  parks  in  England,  which  arc,  or  have  been 
since  the  time  of  that  mighty  hunter  who  "loved  the  tall  deer  as  if 
he  were  iheir  father."  The  last  contains  one  chapter  "  On  the 
management  of  deer  and  deer  parks." 

The  ;iccounl  of  the  introduction  of  the  various  kinds  of  cervine 
game  into  our  English  parks  will  be  new  to  most  readers.  The 
species  which  were  preserved  in  the  few  enclosed  forests  before  the 
Conquest,  and  In  the  immense  tracts  of  heath  and  woodland  which 
the  Nurman  conquerors  converted  into  deer  parks,  consisted  of  the 
red-deer  and  the  roe-deer.  The  other  great  game  of  these  **  chases  " 
were  wild  swine  and  wild  cattle,  the  former  of  which,  most  happily, 
have  entirely  disappeared,  along  with  their  congenial  companionSi 
the  wolves ;  whilst  the  latter  are  kept  for  dilettante  purposes  in 
Chilltngham  Park  only,  or  nearly  so. 

Of  the  more  common  kinds  of  deer,  we  must  allow  our  author  to 
speak  fur  himself.  '■'■  There  are  many  varieties  of  the  fallow-dceri 
but  for  our  present  purpose  it  will  be  sufficient  to  notice  but  two  of 
them — the  dark  and  the  spotted.  The  first  arc  generally  supposed 
to  have  been  introduced  into  Kngland  by  King  James  I.,  from  Nor- 
way, *  where,'  writes  Bewick,  En  his  'History  of  Quadrupeds/ 
'having  observed  their  hardiness  in  bearing  the  cold  of  that  severe 
climate,  he  brought  them  into  Scotland,  and  from  thence  transported 
them  into  his  chases  of  Enfield  and  Epping ;  since  that  time  they 
have  multiplied  exceedingly  in  many  parts  of  this  kingdom,  which 
is  now  become  famous  for  venison  of  superior  &tnc$s  and  flavour 
to  that  of  any  other  country  of  the  world.'  The  spotted  kind  are 
supposed  by  Pennant,  Bewick,  and  others,  whose  accounts  are 
founded  on  that  of  Buffon,  to  have  been  originally  brought  from 
Bengal. 

The  eastern  origjnofthisspecies  is  now  generally  denied ;  butthcre 
appears  to  be  no  doubt  that  the  Cervui  Dama^  or  common  ^ow- 
deer,  is  a  native  of  Greece,  and  is  still  found  there  in  a  wild  state,  as 
well  as  in  the  forests  of  Italy.  Cuvier  writes  of  the  fallow-deeti

penned  the  foregoing,  he  has  received  a  specimen  of  a  wild

It  is  almost  a  pity  that,  having  to  go  to  the  East  for  the  anim^

have  thrown  much  light  upon  the  English  deer-park,  it  is  true ;  but 
it  would  have  exhibited  most  expressively  that  almost  universal  pas- 
sion for  the  chacc,  which  Mr.  Shirley's  book  throughout  shows  to  be 
the  one  passion  which,  developed  the  earliest  in  man,  still  survives, 
and  displays  itself  in  full  vigour  under  the  highest  forms  of  civili- 
sation. 

Of  ihe  conscientious  care  which  is  shown  in  the  compilation  of 
the  topographical  portion  of  the  work,  the  following  extract  will  be  in 
itself  su0icient  commendation.  And  with  it,  wc  will  leave  this 
truly  learned  ajid  interesting  book  to  the  various  cbsses  of  our 
readers  who  care  about  one  aspect  or  another  of  its  subject. 

"  Of  the  royal  parks  of  Windsor,  which  naturally  claim  our  first 
attention  in  the  consideration  of  the  parks  of  Berkshire,  so  much  has 
been  collected  in  *  The  Annals  of  Windsor,*  by  Messrs.  Tighe  and 
Davis,  and  also  by  Mr.  Mcnxies  in  his  magnificent  woik  on  '  The 
Great  Park  of  Windsor,*  that  it  may  be  sufficient  to  observe  that  the 
earliest  notice  yf  a  park  here  is  in  the  thirty-first  of  Henry  III.,  when 
a  paytnent  of  305.  5*/.  occurs  in  the  accounts  of  William  Fitz- 
Waltcr  to  the  parlc-Icccpcrs,  and  5;.  forlhc  keep  of  birds  \i\  the  park. 
....  The  Great  Paik  at  the  same  period  (1607)  vv.is  stated  at  3650 
acres,  and  it  was  estimated  to  contain  iBoo  fallow-deer.  The  red- 
deer  were  all  in  the  forest  outside.  The  extent  of  the  Great  Park  is 
now  (1864)  about   looo  acres  less  than  in   1607;   the  number  of 


deer  the  same  as  in  that 


year, 


but  the  land  that  has  been  turned  to 


other  purposes  was  the  poorest,  and  much  better  has  been  added. 
In  the  time  of  Queen  Annt,  according  to  the  Duchess  of  Marl- 
borough's celebrated  *  Account  of  her  Conduct' (printed  in  1742), 
in  order  to  answer  the  Crown  warrants  for  deer  in  the  Windsor 
Grejit  Park,  it  was  necessarv  to  keep  up  four  or  five  thousand  head 
of  deer  in  the  park,  for  which  the  allowance  was  but  500/.  a-ycar. 
The  ranger  was  also  obliged  to  be  at  the  expense  of  making,  and 
sometimes  of  buying,  hay  for  the  deer  \  the  keepers*  wages  were 
payable  out  of  this  alJowance,  with  several  other  expenses  which 
(herGrace  added)  in  parks  belonging  to  the  Crown  are  much  greater 
than  in  others.  Stowc,  referring  to  Windsor  Castle,  5pcaks  of  *  the

I'ordsworth,  in 

1815,  ol  Mr.  L»yce,  in  18(14,  and  ol  Mrs.  Jameson,  Mr. 
Massey'caJD  point  to  none  who  have  underiitood  the  sonnets 
in  a  sense  favourable  to  Shakspeare's  character,  we  cannot 
but  regard  his  tmly  spirited  effort  to  vindicate  the  poet  as 
highly  comraemlable.  And  though  a  ]ury  nii^it  return  a  verdict  of  '*  not 
proven,"  we  must  own  that  in  our  opinion  his  interpretation  carries  with 
it  a  liigli  degree  of  probability.  And  it  weiglis  greatly  with  us  that  it 
liad  been  to  some  cxteat  anticipated  by  tliataccomplislied  ishakspeaiian 
lady-oitic,  Mrs.  Jameson. 

Whiltr  Mr.  HaJlnm  has  given  the  weight  of  his  great  authority  to  the 
opinion  that  t!»e  "  begetter"  of  these  sonnets  was  William  Herbert,  Earl 
of  Pembroke,  "a  man  of  noble  and  gallant  rhararler,  liut  always  of  a 
licentious  life"  (on  opinion  first  advanced  by  Mr.  Bright,  in  1818,  and 
supported  by  Ulrici,)  Mr.  Masscy  holds  to  ihc  view  hruachcd  by  Dr. 
Drake,  in  tSi;,  that  the  friend  and  patron,  who  is  the  siibjcrt  of  the 
greatest  part  of  these  sonnets,  is  Shakspcarc's  known  patron,  the  Earl 
of  Southampton,  to  whom  he  dedicated  his  "  Lucrcce,"  in  language 
which,  if  not  warranted  by  most  intimate  friendship  bctft'ccn  the  parties, 
must  have  appeared  to  the  Earl  fulsome,  not  to  say  out  of  keeping  with 
the  relations  between  the  poet  and  the  jxiiron,  the  "  poor  player  "  and 
the  peer.  He  begins,  as  is  well  known,  "The  iove  I  dedicate  to  your 
Lordship  is  without  end,  whereof  this  pamphlet  is  but  a  superfluous 
moiety."  AH  right-thinking  men  would  be  glad  to  think  that  Dr.  Drake's 
and  Mr.  Masscy's  case  could  be  made  out.  For  Mr.  JlaJlani  acknow- 
ledges that  ■'  the  Earl  of  Southampton's  virtues  might  have  challenged 
Shakspeare's  homage."  A  sketch  of  the  Karl's  chequered  career  is  given 
by  Mr.  Massey  (pp.  50—93) ;  and  it  is  necessary  lo  go  over  its  chief 
events  to  show  how  far  the  sonnets  fit  into  the  frame  in  which  he  has 
ananged  them. 

JJtom  in  T573,  about  ten  years  aAer  Shak£|>eare,  Lord  Southampton 
came  to  his  title  in  childhood,  his  father  and  his  elder  brother  liaving 
died  before  he  attained  Ihc  age  of  tivclve  years.  It  seems  tliat  shortly 
after  he  was  sent  to  St.  Jolin's,  Cambridge,  where  he  resided  for  five 
years,  and  took  the  degree  of  M.A.  in  his  seventeenth  year.  Mr.  Massicy 
tells  us  (without,  however,  slating  4iis  authority)  that  he  "won  the  high 
eulogies  of  his  contemporaries  for  his  uncommon  proficiency." 

'J'he  ward  of  Lord  Biirghlcy,  he  M-as  almost  "  brought  up  under  the 
Queen,"  his3tc]>falhtT  also,  Sir  T.  Hencagc,  being  one  of  Elirabeth's 
oldest  and  longest  tnislcd  servants.  He  was,  no  doubt,  early  intro- 
duced at  court ;  and,  at  the  age  of  twoand-twenty,  he  is  spoken  of  as 
"a  careful  waiter  at  court,  receiving  favours  at  her  Majesty's  hands," 
favours,  which  the  personal  beauty  cetcbrntcd  by  Shaks]xrare  with  such 
an  enlliusiasni  of  admiration  in  part  explains  and  accounts  for,  IIk 
same  notice,  quoted  from  the  "  Sidney  Memoirs,"  speaks  of  the  Eail  of

animo  tnagis  qitam  wrporc  I 

But  Southampton's  prospects  of  royal  favour  and  advancement  were 
soon  obscured.  About  the  same  time,  in  the  same  Memoirs,  we  find 
that  the  young  Earl,  whom  Shakspeare  in  the  first  seventeen  sonnets  is 
affectionately  urging  to  marry,  was  "  courting  too  familiarly  "  one  of  the 
maids  of  honour,  lair  Mistress  Vernon,  sister  of  llie  Earl  of  Essex.  This 
was  an  inexpiable  offence !  Not  only  was  he  pursuing  with  a  forbidden 
suit  one  of  the  maids  of  honour,  who  were  certainly  expected  to  be  as 
cold  as  the  nymphs  of  Diana,  however  little  EHzalwth  may  have 
affected  the  role  of  Diana  herself,  but  he  had  jiresumed  to  transfer  his 
admiration  from  the  mistress  to  the  maid.  The  Earl,  it  seems,  had 
"leave  of"  absence"  from  Court,  and  the  next  year  we  find  him  scn-ing 
as  a  volunteer  in  an  expedition  under  Essex  to  the  Spanish  coast ;  and 
again,  in  1597,  sending  as  Vicc-Admlral  of  the  first  squadron  of  the 
fleet  sent  out  to  destroy  the  Spanish  fleet,  and  doing  most  gallant  ser- 
vice with  three  of  the  Queen's  ships,  and  a  few  small  merchantmen, "  driv- 
ing four  or  five  and  thirty  sail,  most  of  them  great  warlike  galleons,  like 
a  fearful  herd  before  him."  In  the  course  of  the  expedition,  alter  some 
warm  work  on  shore,  he  is  knighted  on  the  field  by  Essex  "ere  he  could 
dry  the  sweat  from  his  brow."  But  the  favour  of  his  lOyal  mistress  was 
not  to  be  recovered  by  any  services  to  the  country,  however  distin^ished ; 
and  he  was  met  on  his  return  with  a  frown  of  displeasure  for  havmg  sunk 
an  cncm/s  ship  without  direct  orders.  To  Uits  time  of  enforced  absence 
Mr.  Mas.scy  assigns  sonnet  44,  written  (so  Mr.  Masscy  holds)  in  the 
person  of  Lord  Soutlianipion,  to  be  sent  to  Elizabeth  Vcmon : 

"  If  ill*  duU  sub&tiLnce  of  my  flt-sli  were  tliought.

of  Elizabeth  to  his  marriage  with  Elizabeth  Vernon,  lie  is  ready  to  pick 
quarrels  with  anybody,  and  assails  one  of  ihe  officers  of  the  Court  in  the 
precincts  of  the  ])ilace, "  shaking  him  am!  jsullingout  some  of  hLs  locks," 
And  now,  again,  Feb.,  1598,  "  Mr.  Sca-etir>-  (Cecil)  lias  procured 
him  licence  to  travel ....  .ind  it  is  secretly  said  he  shall  be  married  lo 
his  fair  mistress,"  Next  month  he  is  introduced  by  Cecil  to  Henry  IV, 
of  France  as  "one  who  had  come  ivith  deliberation  to  do  him  service!* 
Nothing,  howe%'er,  came  of  this,  as  peace  was  made  soon  after ;  and 
about  the  end  of  August  of  the  same  year  the  Eari  returned  home  to 
celebrate  his  marriage  secretly.  A  week  later  the  queen  had  "threat- 
ened all  the  parties  lo  the  Tower,  and  commanded  the  novizia  countess 
the  best-appointed  lodging  in  the  Fleet !"  It  sccms,  too,  that  these  were 
no  empty  threats,  and  that  the  carl  had  a  long  imprisonment  to  undergo. 
So  deeply  rankled  in  the  royal  mind  the  "  lacaa:  injuria  formae." 

How  long  he  was  a  prisoner,  or  how  soon  released,  we  are  not  told; 
but  the  Queen's  resentment  scltl  pursued  him,  and  made  her  refuse  the 
Ear!  of  Essex  permission  to  employ  him  in  ser^-ice  in  the  Irish  wars 
against  the  Fenians  of  that  day,  for  which  his  fearless  spirit  and 
d1i^'aIrous  valour  so  admirably  qualified  him.  Obliged  per  force  to 
return,  he  passes  the  time  in  London  "  merely  in  going  to  Pla>-5  every 
day."  In  1600,  the  new  Irish  Deputy,  Lord  Mountjoy,  solicits  for  him 
the  Governorship  of  Connaught  on  the  ground  of  the  "aptness  and  will- 
ingness to  do  the  Queen  service  he  knew  in  the  Earl,"*  but  still  finds 
Elizabeth  unrelenting  Stung  to  the  quick  by  tlic  Queen's  ill-usage, 
Southampton  takes  part  with  his  brother-in-law,  Essex,  in  that  march 
en  London  which  cost  the  latter  his  head.  Southampton  had  op- 
posed the  project,  but  had  felt  it  a  point  of  honour  to  accompany  his 
friend  and  share  his  perils.  In  his  twenty-eighth  j-ear  be  is  tried  for 
high  treason,  and  condemned  lo  die ;  and  it  is  only  after  much  inter- 
cession on  the  part  of  CcL-il  that  the  sentence  is  commuted  to  perpetual 
imprisonment 

Two  long  years  he  must  have  lingered  in  the  Tower,  till  the  accession 
of  James  restored  him  lo  liberty,  and  to  the  honours  and  tides  forfeited 
by  his  attainder.  The  same  month  that  saw  him  restored  to  his  honours 
brought  him  the  happiness  of  an  heir,  to  whom  the  king  stood  sponsor. 
He  had  also  been  appointed  Master  of  the  Came  to  the  Queen,  and 
installed  knight  of  the  garter. 

The  subsequent  cirecr  of  Southampton  is  not  illustrated  by  the 
sonnets.  Mr.  Massey  shows  him  to  have  been  a  good  f^rhl,  taking 
an  active  part  in  the  colonisation  of  Virginia,  and  watching  carefully 
over  its  interests  when  the  young  pLtntation  was  .attacked  in  PailLTment ; 
and  he  remarks  that  "Southampton  Hutidrui"  and  the  **  Ilamptcn  Jitwit" 
still  preserve  the  memory  of  his  connection  with  Vitginix

Mr.  Massey  assigns  Sonnet  107  to  the  time  of  his  restoration  to  liberty.

And  tliou  in  this  thAli  find  thy  monument, 
When  lyranU'  crest*  and  tombi  of  lira**  arc  ipent." 

In  1614,  two  years  before  Shakspeare's  death,  we  find  him  abroad 
again  in  the  Low  Countries  at  the  siege  of  Kecs.  In  1617  he  is  made 
a  privy  councillor ;  but  we  are  told  that  he  "  never  flourished  at  Court, 
being  not  so  smootli-shod  as  to  go  al^-ays  at  the  Court  pace."  And  it 
seems  that  soon  after  he  joined  the  little  band  of  the  patriotic  Opposition 
which  thwarletl  the  unconstitutional  views  of  the  Court  favourite — made 
in  i6ji  a  successful  mutlon  against  "illegal  patents,"  incurring  the 
resentment  of  Buckingham— and  was  actually  commiiled,  after  the  ad- 
journment of  the  house,  to  prison — an  honour  which  John  Seldcn,  as 
it  sceras,  shared  with  the  noble  confessor  of  parliamentarj*  I-iI>crty! 
In  i6«4,  he  is  ser^'ing  on  several  important  committees,  ant!  we  might 
think  the  year  to  be  1S67  instead  of  1624,  M'hen  we  read  that  they  are 
committees  "for  considering  of  the  defence  of  Ireland,"  .ind  "for 
making  of  arms  more  serviceable."  In  the  same  year,  his  last,  he 
heads  as  colonel  a  regiment  of  r5oo  men,  sent  to  join  the  army  of 
Prince  Maurice  in  the  Low  Countries,  where  he  dies,  on  his  w.iy  home, 
while  bringing  back  his  son,  Lord  Wriothesley,  who  had  sunk  under  a 
burning  fever,  before  he  had  himself  fully  recovered  from  a  similar  attack. 
And  we  are  told  that  it  was  reported,  on  the  authority  of  one  of  King 
James's  physicians,  that  tather  and  son  were  poisoned  by  Buckingham. 

We  may  see  in  this  chequered  career  enough  to  account  in  some 
degree  for  the  enthusiastic  admiration  of  his  poet-friend.  "  Not  a  great 
man,  nor  renurkably  wise,  he  was  frank,  magnanimous,  tlioroughly 
honourable,  a  true  lover  of  his  country — a  soldier  whose  personal  valour 
■was  proverbial,  and  '  a  dear  chcrisher  of  poets^'  Chapman,  the  trans- 
lator of  Homer,  called  him  "the  choice  of  our  country's  noble  spirits.'  "« 
Mr.  Massey  h.u  omitted  in  the  listof  his  noble  qualities  that  constancy  in 
love  and  in  friendship,  which  Shakspcare  celebrates  where  he  dwells  on 
the  Earl's  "truth."  'lo  this  noble  friend  (who,  according  to  Mr.  Massey,

To  the  same  Lady  Rich, '  the  fatal  Itelcn  of  Elizabeth's  <tays,'  Mr. 
Masscy  holds  that  those  later  sonnets  are  addressed,  which  make  all 
who  think  Shakspeare  to  be  speaking  in  his  own  person  "  wLsh  that  the 
sonnets  had  ncvtr  been  written."  He  holds  lliat  in  these  last  Shak- 
speare speaks  in  the  person  of  Lord  Herbert,  and  not  of  Southampton. 
The  two  noblemen  were  friends  and  intimately  associated  in  many 
wajrs.  The  heir  of  Wilton  and  the  Lord  of  Tichficld  were  both,  as 
Mr.  Massey  shows,  patrons  of  the  cockpit,  connected  also  by  personal 
intimacy,  and  associated  in  the  establishment  and  support  of  the  planta- 
tion of  Virginia.  And  there  is  great  probability  in  Mr.  Massey's  theory 
that  Herbert  received  the  earlier  series  of  sonnets  from  Southampton, 
and  having  sufKicieut  inHuencc  with  Shakspeare  to  induce  him  to  lend 
the  ser\"ices  of  his  pen  to  himself,  as  he  had  before  done  to  the  "  lord  of 
his  love,"  appended  these  of  the  later  series  to  tJie  first,  and  ai'terA'ard£C 
published  IJiem  without  consulting  the  poet. 

The  story  of  this  Ijdy  Rich  is  a  painfully  interesting  one.  Bom  in 
1563,  ten  years  before  Southampton,  she  lost  before  she  ivas  thirteen  years 
of  age,  her  noble  fadier,  who  left  her  ■'commended  to  the  love  of  Philip 
Sydney,  wishing,  if  (Jod  might  so  move  Imth  their  hearts,  she  might 
match  with  him."  **  It  wa.*;,  not,  howtivcr,  so  to  l)e.  Sydney  seems  not  to 
have  known  his  own  mind,  and  to  have  let  slip  the  lime  when  she 
might  have  become  his,  out  of  certain  "  nice  respects,"  as  he  calls  them, 
thinking  her  then  too  young  to  marry.  She  was  then  but  fifteen  years 
of  age.  Two  years  after,  Lord  Bufghlcy,  one  of  her  guardians,  negotiated 
for  her  a  fatal  alliance  with  I,ord  Rich  of  Lees,  in  Essex.  If  we  are  to 
licllevc  Lord  Mountjoy,  whom  she  was  afterwards  divorced  to  marry,  she 
had  "  protested  against  this  marriage  at  the  very  solemnity,"  and  ever 
after,  And  it  seems,  from  Sidney's  confessions  in  his  "  Astrophel  and 
Stella,"  that  his  own  love  soon  revived,  and  became  an  intense  passion, 
which  burned,  to  say  the  least,  too  intensely  for  his  happiness,  even 
after  her  marriage  and  his  own,  which  followed  within  two  years, 

SidnQ-  himself  tells  us  how,  even  some  time  after  this  marriage,  he 


"  Txlte  all  my  1av«t,  mjr  lore,  yea,  take  them  all  ;

Sidnej'"s  death  took  plarc  six  years  after  this  unhappy  marmge. 
fore  long  she  had  found  consolation  in  the  love  of  Lord  Mounijoy,  w' 
though  he  dill  not  murry  her  till  n5o6,  only  four  months  before 
death,  "recognised  and  provided  for  three  out  of  her  five  children 
his  Q-KXi."  She  had  established  for  herself  so  notorious  an  ill-narae, 
that  on  this  marriage  James  I.  told  the  Earl  that  he  '*  had  purchase^)  a 
fair  woman  with  a  black  soul,"  This  is  the  person  who,  according  to 
Mr,  Masscy,  is  apostrophised  in  the  words  of  Shakspeare  by  Elizabeth 
Vcmon  in  the  striking  line, — 


"  Lascivioiu  Grue,  in  urbom  all  ill  well  iliom;" 


wdiom  she  speaks  of  as  "  her  evil  angel,  who  was  seducing  her  good 
angel  (Southampton^  to  be  a  devil,"  by  withdrawing  from  her  ihc  love 
he  had  solemnly  plighted.  Thi^  is  the  siren  whose  c\-il  fascination  he 
supposes  Southampton  to  curse  in  sonnet  cxix.' 

This  same  "lascivious  Grace"  still  retaining  (strange  to  say)  at

Closely  connected  by  personal  intimacy  with  Essex  and  Southampton, 
Herbert,  do  doubt,  saw  much  of  Lady  Rii.h.  wiili  whom  La<Jy  South- 
ampton appears  to  have  kept  up  hei  t'ncndship.^  Mr.  M^-ssey  also 
quotes  firom  memoirs  of  the  tunc  direct  in(licjUon&  of  the  intimacy  of 
Herbert  with  Lady  Ridi,  though  nothing  ai;gnes  criminality.  The 
evidence  which  leads  him  to  connect  Lady  Rich  with  the  "dark  lady"  of 
tlK  sonnets  is  circumstantial.  And  his  arguments,  which  are  worth 
dose  attention,  turo  in  part  on  passages  which  dwell  on  the  ^^Mourtiing 
eyes"*  ascribed  lo  this  "  dark  lady"  in  the  sonnet,  and  to  the  "Stella" 
of  Sidney's  poems,  who  is  unquestionably  Lady  Rich.  This  is  obviously 
not  a  common-place  expression ;  and  there  can  be  little  reasonable 
doubt  that  it  was  suggested  to  Shakspeare  by  the  sonnet  of  Sidney,  to 
whoHc  writings  Mr.  Massey  sliows  Shiikspeare  to  be  indebted  for 
some  other  thoughts  in  these  sonnets.  Sidney,  speaking  of  Stella's 
eyes,  says — 

"  Nature  mindine  lave  shonld  be 
Placed  tva  lhet«,  gave  turn  nia  m^uming  viced." 

The  coincidence  of  this  thought  with  tlmt  of  Shakspeare*s  iJ7th  sontiel 
is  certainly  striking  : — 

"  My  mUtiirci'  c]tes  »n  nxea  black, 
Her  eyes  i>o  »uilcd.  Mid  tliey  mintrntr)  leem." 

Of  course  tt  is  impossible  for  us  to  find  space  for  all  the  particulars  of 
circumstantial  evidence  that,  in  Mr,  Ma-iscy's  opinion,  connect  the  later 
sonnets  with  Lord  Herbert  and  with  Lady  Rich.  'I'hcre  is  nnc  other 
curious  passage,  to  which  we  will  call  attention.  It  is  in  sonnet  135, 
where  telling  the  "  dark  lady  "  thai  "  his  name  is  IVifi,"  and  punning,  as 
he  does  in  sonnets  57.  136,  143,011  the  name  "Will,"  he  reiiiinds  her 
that  she  is  "Ruff  in  Will ;  "  in  this  punning  also  following  the  footsteps 
of  Sidney,  who  describes  his  Stella  as  one 

"  Rich  in  all  beautio  which  man'i  cje  can  see, 
Riich  in  thuM  K'***  which  ijivv  thr  «icm«1  crnirn,

connection  of  the  later  sonnets  wilh  Lady  Rich.  Guilty  as  Lady  Rich 
sppeais  to  have  been,  hcentious  a.s  Herbert  was,  Mr.  Massey's  industry 
has  not  discovered  any  statement  connecting  his  name  with  any  criminality 
of  hers,  or  tlie  later  Sonnets  with  Lady  Rich.  'I'here  is  no  evidence 
such  as  would  satisfy  the  Judge  Ordinary  of  the  Divorce  Court,  pro- 
ducible against  the  co- respondent,  Herbert  And  yet,  looking  at  the 
forts  and  circumstances  brought  together  by  Mr.  Massey— the  fact  of 
the  close  intimacy  between  Herbert  and  Soutlmmptoo — between  Lord 
and  Lady  Southampton  and  her  cousin,  I^dy  Rich— the  correspond- 
ence of  the  character  ascribed  to  the  darJc  lady  of  the  Sonnets 
with  that  of  the  too  notorious  *'  fair  woman  wnth  a  black  soul  " — the  fad 
that  ihcsc  later  Sonnets  utter  the  language  of  a  strange  passion  for  one 
no  longer  young  or  beautiful  —  and  that  Clarendon,  speaking  of  Herbert 
as  "immoderately  given  up  to  women,  sacrificing  to  them  much  of  his 
time  and  fortune,"  tells  us  that  "he  was  not  so  much  transported  with 
beauty  and  outward  allurement,  as  with  an  "  extraordinary  wit  and  spirit 
and  knowledge;" — the  "mourning  eyes"  ascribed  to  this  Lady  of  the 
Sonnets,  which  seem  to  identify  her  with  that  Stella,  to  whose  eyes  Philip 
Sidney  first  applied  that  so  strange  epithet — we  cannot  but  feel  that 
eumu/afhr  force  of  all  these  facu  and  circumstances  is  very  great. 
Ihiiik,  too,  that  most  of  the  Sonnets  group  themselves  naturally  roum 
Southampton  and  the  other  persons  mth  whom  Mr.  Massey  connects 
them.  And  (without  committing  ourselves  to  an  unqualified  assent  to 
his  explanation  of  the  Sonnets)  wc  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that,  to  our 
minds,  there  is  more  probability  in  that  interpretation  than  in  such  an 
explanation  of  them  as — in  the  face  of  so  many  speaking  facts  to  the 
contrary^would  rob  Shakespeare  of  his  fair  fame.  Mr.  Palgravc — to 
whose  discriminating  taste  in  poetiy  the  "  Golden  Treasury  "  bears  testi- 
mony— remarks :  "  We  hardly  have  courage  to  lliink.  that  our  gentle 
Shakspeare  submitted  himself  to  such  i>assions  as  tliose  dc«;ribcd  in 
Sonnets  1 29,  147,  and  others."  "  l-'or  ourselves  we  lack  such  "courage" 
altogether.  U'e  cannot  with  "Sii.  I'algrave  follow  the  common  interprc- 
tition  which  makes  each  of  these  Sonnets  "an  autobiographical  conlcs- 
tion."  Rut  we  cordially  concur  with  him  in  the  just  remark,  that  "we 
learn  more  of  the  poet's  innermost  nature  from  the  tone  of  mind  which 
we  trace  tn  HainUi  ur  Mtasure  far  Mtasurt^  and  in  the  Tempest^  than

we  do  from  these  Sonnets,"  which  wc,  at  all  events,  cannot  accept  as 
"revelations  "  of  the  poet's  inner  self.  So  long  as  a  different  constniction 
of  his  meaning  Is  possible,  we  are  bound  to  give  the  poet  the  benefit  of 
the  doubt.  In  the  few  well-attested  facts  of  his  life,  which  show  him  above 
all  things  a  good  family  man,  yearly  revisiting  his  native  place,  buying 
land  and  building  up  a  house  where  to  settle  so  soon  as  he  might  "amongst 
his  own  people  "—in  the  fact  that  rival  dramatists,  in  all  the  bittemes^ 
of  their  jealous)*,  in  an  age  that  delighted  no  less  in  scandal  thau  all 
other  ages  ol"  the  world  have  done,  breathe  not  a  whisper  agauxst  his  mora! 
chAiactec  (the  only  charge  against  him  being  one  that  j>oiots  to  his 
frugality) ;  we  find  reasons  for  believing  chat  Shakspeare  is  not  speak- 
ing in  his  own  name  when  lie  describes  one  who  is  "  frantic  mad  wiUi 
evermore  unrest ; "  as  one  "  past  cure ;  his  reason  now  past  care  ; "  the 
"  vassal  wretch,"  of  one  "  as  dark  as  night  and  bbtk  as  liell,"  •  one  iti 
whom  "his  eyes  a  thousand  errors  note  ;"  hut  tlial  lie  tr  speaking  iti  his 
own  penon  when  he  looks  calmly  forward  to  death's  coming  to  close 

"  \Vn  well -contented  day." 

It  is  but  (air  lo  Mr.  Massey  to  extract  a  passage  which  abundantly 
demonstrates  that  tliere  is,  at  all  events,  nothing  at  variance  with  pro- 
bability in  his  supposition,  that  in  these  Sonnets  Shakspeare  is  for  the 
most  pirt  employing  his  pen  in  the  service  of  his  patron.

We  may  add,  that  the  custom  of  pressing  the  muse  of  others  into 
one's  service,  seems  not  to  be  yet  extinct.  We  have  seen  iti  Bologna 
the  walls  placarded  witli  sonnets,  evidently  che  productions  of  some  /riw- 
listd proftssional  ptn,  celebrating  the  baccalaureate  of  a  young  student, 
or  the  first  mass  of  a  young  priest  recently  ordainetl,  And  elsewhere  in 
Italy  we  have  seen  an  affi*hc,  offering  the  services  of  a  professional 
poet  to  any  who  required  !K)nnets  to  be  composed  for  them.

This  is  what  could  not  have  been  said  by  Pindar  of  his  own  eul(^«s, 
which  were  wiitiea  to  order  and  paid  for.  But  ShaJtsi>eare,  though 
obliged  to  wcite  for  liis  own  and  his  children's  bread,  docs  not  seem  to 
have  held,  as  Dr.  Johnson  did,  that  "A  man  is  a  fool  who  writes  (or 
any  tiling  bul  money." 

Wc  Imvc  not  left  ourselves  space  for  criticism.  To  criticise  Mr. 
Massey's  book  as  it  deser\es  would  require  an  amount  of  research 
Ecarcely  le&s  itian  the  writer  has  (greatly  to  his  honour)  bestowed  on  this 
labour  of  love.  Hadypacc  permitted,  we  should  have  pointed  out  what 
seem  to  us  the  weak  points  of  his  armour.  We  have  noted  many 
passages  lo  which  wc  cLuld  object  We  do  not  always  agree  with  his 
explan-itions  of  particular  expressions  in  the  Sonnets ;  we  do  not  think 
him  happy  in  his  choice  of  readings.  We  observe  that  he  accepts 
genuine,  one  at  tci-st  of  the  dociimcnis  distovcred  among  the  Elka 
papers,  which  were  unhesitatingly  pronounced  to  Iw  forgeries  by 
palaographists  of  the  Briiish  Museum.  Wc  think  that  here  and  th< 
he  is  fairly  chargeable  with  special  pleading.

But  wc  cannot  take  leave  of  Mr.  ^tassey  without  ilianking  him,  in

jealousy  over  his  fair  name,  for  a  ■\-alunhIe  coniribution  lo  the  history  o^ 
literature.  And  wc  think  many  of  our  ^c.^de^s  wilt  thank  us  for  calling 
their  attention  to  a  work  in  itself  so  full  of  interest,  giving  a  lively 
picture  of  some  of  the  most  prominent  men  of  a  most  interesting  time, 
and  marked  by  an  enthusiasm  for  the  great  poet's  fair  fnmc,  which  at 
once  does  honour  to  the  writer,  and  imparts  spirit  and  eloquence  to 
book. 

Since  we  wrote  the  above,  wc  have  received  Mr.  Keightley*s 
spcarc    EJcpositor."P      'ITiough   marred    by  an   amount  of  assumptit 
which   is  posilively  amusing,  this  little  volume  is  well  fittwl  to  answer' 
the  purpose  for  which  it  is  jirofcjscdly  designed,— n.imely,  to  be  "a 
manual  for  the  use  of  those  who,  not  being  possessed  of  a  voluminous 
annotated  edition,  are  fain  to  content  themselves  with  the  simple  text." 

Mr.  Kcightley  speaks  of  this  work  as  the  termination  of  his  Itlerary 
life.  He  has  not  done  ill  to  dedicate  his  List  literary  labour  to  the 
illustration  of  Shakspcarc,  There  is  much  in  the  first  part  of  the 
introduction,  upoa  the  correction  of  the  text,  which  is  both  curious  and 
instructive.  The  book  is  appropriately  printed  in  a  fonn  that  fits  it

RECENT   ANECDOTE   BIOGRAPHY. 

|OME  years  after  Rousseau's morbitl  craving  for  notoritty  had 
displayed  itself  in  his  "  Confessions,"  and  when  the  French 
press  was  for  a  brief  period  declared  free  of  all  restrictions, 
an  epidemic  Mimoire  mania  began  to  prevail  in  France, 
and  Paris,  lately  intoxicated  with  blood,  was  bewildered  with 
books,  for  in  that  capital  were  more  than  enough  people  left  alive  to 
write  (heir  recollections. 

F.re  liberty  of  the  French  press  had  prorlnimed  itself  as  one  of  the  rigbw 
■of  man,  and  before  the  f  loddcss  of  Reason  had  been  worshipped  in  France, 
seditions  and  scandalous  hiogrjphica  were  occasionally  smuggled  into 
that  country  from  Amsterdam,  London,  Berlin,  or  any  other  haunt  of 
exiled  Frenchmen,  who,  |>roscribcd  for  polilicnl  or  polemical  offences, 
maniCcslcd  rc^'enge  by  calumninting  the  highesl  authorities  of  the  land 
from  which  they  themselves  were  banishwi.  When,  however,  both  the 
altar  and  the  throne  of  France  were  overthrown,  and  such  men  were 
free  in  the  midst  of  their  native  lami  to  make  what  revelations  they 
choM:  against  their  fonncr  oppressors  who  had  lately  periJihed  on  Ihe 
bcaffoid,  any  thorough-going  revolutionist  in  need  of  money,  or  craving 
for  fame.  Lad  only  to  publish  his  Memories. 

But  it  was  not  long  since  the  philosophical  public  of  Paris  had  etiified 
and  amused  itself  by  uking  a  choir  near  the  "holy  guillotine,'  in  order 
tu  note  the  various  stnigglesof  its  victims  ;  and  the  popular  appetite  habi- 
tually needed  potent  slimuianls.  No  half  shades  of  colour,  no  soupi^ons 
of  sentiment,  no  demi-doses  of  scandal  would  at  that  time  suflicc  for 
the  public  taste  or  win  the  suffrages  of  sensational  society. 

"Let  us  grind  enough  of  the  red,"  was  the  professional  phrase  of 
David,  the  then  popular  painter,  who  had  made  his  art  studies  from 
nature  by^vatching  her  divers  contortions  and  last  throes  of  agony  during 
the  prison  ma-ssacres— '•  Let  us  grind  enough  of  the  red."  And  some 
writers,  contemporary  with  David  "of  the  blood-stained  brush,"  dipped 
their  pens  in  ink,  and  forthwith  blotted  many  a  fair  fame  with  more  than 
enough  of  the  black.  Voluminous  and  vulgar  were  the  soon-to-become 
obsolete  M<imoircs  that  "  paid  "  best  in  Paris  towards  the  end  of  the  last 
century.  Were  such  publications  then,  and  a(terwards,pcculiar  to  France? 
Or  if  Fngland  ever  cultivated  any  lileraturi;  at  all  resembling  the  class  to 
which  such  publications  belonged,  has  she  "  changed  all  that  ?  " 

It  would  seem  so,  could  we  dare  to  judge  of  English  current  anecdote 
biography  from  one  favourable  specimen  of  it  now  before  us,  entitled 
"-Shght  KeraintsccnLCs  of  a  Septuagenarian."'  And  yet  Emma  Sophia 
Countess  Brownlow,  who  has  lately  given  this  pleasant  volume  to  the 
Eoglibli  public,  did  once  herself  converse  with  the  painter  David,  above 
mentioned,  in  his  later  days;  but,  ere  proceeding  to  get  a  further  glimpse 
of  him  through  her,  it  is  worthy  of  notice  how  I^dy  Biownlow's  work,

The  dignified  siniplicit)-  of  this  short  preface,  the  condensarion  of' 
autobiographical  reminiscences  into  less  than  two  hundred  pages  of 
dear  type,  and  the  declaration  at  the  end  of  them  that  it  is  "  with  much 
diffidence"  this  first  and  last  work  of  a  septuagenarian  is  submitted  to 
the  public,  are  all  matters  for  rare  and  respectful  observation  in  these 
latter  days  of  voluminous  egotism  and  literary  self-assertion  ;  and  though 
there  be  nothing  new  in  the  contents  of  Lady  Brownlow's  book,  sbc 
enables  her  readers  lo  judge  of  the  greater  part  of  them  frora  an  excel- 
lent point  of  view,  for  it  >vas  in  company  with  her  friends.  Lord  and 
Lady  Casilereagh,  that  she  visited  Fans  in  1S14.  It  was  then  she  saw 
David,  as  before  mentioned,  and  of  him  she  says : 

"  David  hinuclf  wak  a.  tight,  lu  well  as  his  picium,  l>ut  not  a  iileating  one  in  snr 
way.     Unlike  the  smoothness  and  hich  liniih  and   unmeaning;   lacft  which  charav- 


tciued  his  heroes,  his  face  was  renurltaiily  coarse,  and  the  expression  of  the  couu- 
tenance  dccidodly  Itad,  fully  confinning  onL'S  belief  in  the  nccounts  of  hi»  conduct

increased  by  n  diseased  upper  tip,  roost  dlsa^^reeable  lo  look  upon,  and  which  I  fcand 
miut  hare  cauMd  much  pain." 

'ilie  brevity  of  Lady  Brownlow's  style  as  a  biographer  can  be  appre- 
ciated only  by  contrasting  her  htlic  work  with  most  of  the  many  volu- 
minous Memories  which  have  been  pubhshcd  in  London  tluring  the- 
last  ten  years.  Before  :ind  within  this  decade  of  English  biography, — 
which  most  espcrially  addresses  itself  to  the  ilHleraii,  and  panders  ti> 
the  curiosity  of  the  public  at  lai^c,  as  to  the  sayings,  doings,  and 
scandals  of  the  "upper  ten  thousand," — have  successively  appeared  the 
Duke  of  Buckingham's  Court,  and  Cabinet  Memoirs  of  the  reigns  of 
George  III.,  George  IV.,  Willinm  IV.,  and  Victoria,  not  omitting  the 
Regency,  all  "from  originn!  family  documents;"  but  as  these  Memoirs 
are,  for  the  most  pari,  political,  many  a  circulating-library  subscriber, 
all  the  more  eager  for  personal  gossip  because  taking  no  interest  what- 
ever in  poHrics,  has  doubtless  been  glad  lo  substitute  volumes  full  of 
chit-chat  for  those  just  named,  which,  quite  unlike  the  "Queen's  Book," 
lately  presented  by  her  Gracious  Majesty  to  her  subjecLi,  afford  but  few 
glimpses  of  the  humanities  of  Court  life. 

As  a  specimen  of  the  class  of  biography  which,  still  on  the  increase, 
became  rife  in  England  after  the  appearance  of  the  Duke  of  Buck- 
ingham's first  "Court  and  Caliinct"  pubiicaiions,  we  will  here,  according 
to  date,  give  precedence  to  the  three  volumes  of  a  literar)-  veteran  with

Mr.  Redding 's  ■'  Recolleclions,"  iherc  is  a  preface,  and  this  preface  is 
specifically,  not  to  say  pointedly,  addressed  in  three  solemn  wonis,  "  To 
the  Reader,"  although  to  whom  or  what  else  the  author  of  a  printed 
work  is  supposed  to  address  himself,  Mr.  C)-rus  Redding  (who  in  his 
boyhood  seems  to  ha\x  feared  ghosts)  docs  not  say.  It  is  one  of  his 
'*  tiny  secrets."     Prcfatorially  he  remarks  : — 

"  *  [t  wtM  obierv«il  by  Cray  )hc  poet,'  uvt  Ilnrscc  Walpolc,  *  thai  if  any  man  were 
(o  (orm  s  book  of  wlini  lie  had  («cti  nntl  Jica^il  hinuclf,  it  mtut,  in  whatever  band»i 
prove  nn  useful  arul  cnicrtaiiung  one.' " 

But,  continues  Mr.  Redding,  on  liis  own  account, — "The  difficulty 
is  in  recalling  at  will  records  so  volumtoous.  We  can  retain  hut  a 
small  portion  of  what  we  have  seen  and  heard."  This  is  a  very  singular 
remark  for  the  author  of  the  three  thick  volumes  before  us  to  make, 
unless  indeed  he  means  lo  imply  by  it  that  he  expects  iiotliiiig  else  than 
that  the  reader  will  soon  forget  the  greater  part  of  their  contents;  and 
really  no  apology  is  necessary  wlieti,  further  on  in  his  preface  — 

"  The  aiilboT  confev^n  tlul  in  ihc  [ffociit  vo^umcf  he  hns  been  limbic,  except  tn 
two  or  three  inslanccs  lu  linvc  reoaunc  tu  anylliing  documctit&ry." 

Who  would  care  for  dry  documents  widi  "  Fifty  Years'  Recollections, 
Literary  and  Personal,"  before  ihem  ?  Nobwly,  surely,  could  desire  to 
thrust  documents  into  the  hand  of  an  artist  who  "on  the  west  side  of 
Hampstead  Hill "  can  paint  "  Palatial  IVindsor  .  .  .  rising  proudly  in 
the  distance.  The  spire  of  Harrow,  like  a  burial  ol)elisk,  ascending  in 
another  direction  ;" — an  artist  who  feels  how  this  spire  "brings  before 
the  glass  of  mcmor)*  eminent  names  with  which  it  is  a*sofi.-ited,"  &c. 

Yet  there  is  always  something  to  be  regretted  ;  and  although  Cyrus 
Redding  tells  us  he  "  was  dandled  on  the  knee  of  How.ird  the  philan- 
thropist, and  SAW  Ijord  North,"  he  has  "no  recollection  of  either."  But, 
as  though  to  compensate  to  us  for  these  two  blanks  in  his  memory,  he 
surpasses  himself— to  say  nothing  of  our  own  expectations  or  under- 
standings—by  the  following  exalted  "  observations,"  and  even  at  the  same 
time  somewhat  alarms  us  by  the  dark  hint  they  involve  of  what  he  could 
tell  us  of  himself  if  he  would,  did  he  only  dare  to  be  as  honest  as  Rous- 
seau. After  remarking  that  "the  green  things  of  early  life  interlace  with 
the  most  delicate  fibres  of  being,"  but  tliat  he  "  must  change  a  stnin 
which  the  unrcOeclLve  call  '  morbid,'  not  exactly  the  vogue,"  he  tlius 
bursts  forth : — 

"  What  ^Diiun  U  AutoblocnpTiy !  Few  dare  to  be  as  hon«t  as  Koustes»,  while 
many  may  venture  to  be  telf  laudatory.  The  world  will  oricn  give  credit  for  well- 
meaning,  ihou;;h  the  whole  Inilh  \Ma  not  heen  Intd.  Tlie  Knee  iiy])<iciile  bcant  with 
the  expression  uf  indivKliial  mtIMovc  if  il  Ijl-  aiiiinint;,  liooc  it  Twa  no  hearl,  and  lline- 
fore  need  not  dicad  i:t  ciemaiiwD  in  the  Ilnll  of  Eblis." 

In  more  than  one  of  the  passages  just  quoted  Mr.  Cyrus  Redding  is  his 
own  best  critic,  and  it  is  only  ri^hl  that  he  should  be  so  in  the  pages  of 
this  Magazine  ;  for,  speaking  of  his  very  early  life,  he  says  :—  "  I  do  not 
remember  any  of  die  MagiUtiiies,  except  the  Gcfttiemans  and  Monlhly. 
Mr.  Urban  was,  of  course,  no  stranger  to  the  world  fourscore  years 
Iwfore  I  was  bom." 

As  a  matter  of  course,  with  all  chroniclers  of  his  date,  Mr.  Cyrus 


Redding  fouml  himself  in  Paris  "after  the  Peace,'*  and  whcD  "the 
Dook  "  wns  riding  nliout  daily  in  th.it  rnpital,  the  native  inhabitants  i>f 
which  were  5tri%'ing  to  leain  the  art  of  swcnring  like  Britons,  in  sujjposetl 
imitation  of  the  genuine  "  Godani "  Englishman. 

"  Tli«  Duke  of  Wellinjiiton  nxlc  out  daily  ilong  lli«  Boulevard*,  attcndol  by  m  huj 
gmgm  on  a.  chestnut  hone." 

And  Cyrus  Redding  saw  ihe  Duke ;  although  from  hi!>  words  just  qaotcH 
tlicre  seems  to  be  some  uncertainly  in  his  own  mind  as  to  whtfthci  it 
Was  lh«  Duke,  or  the  Duke's  boy  groom,  or  both  together,  who  rode  the 
chestnut  horse ;  but  the  fact  is,  that  from  his  own  account  of  himsdf, 
our  chronicler  had  at  that  time  other  food  for  his  recollections — royal 
food.  Having  inquire*!  of  one  of  the  King's  (Louis  XVIII.)  Garde  du 
Corps  respecting  his  Majesty's  private  library,  that  individual,  who  on 
the  morrow  was  lo  be  on  guard  at  llie  Tuileries,  said  that  he  would 
show  the  !ibrar>',  and  the  librarians  also,  to  him.    Says  Mr.  Redding, — 

"  I  wa»  puncl»:i!,  entered  the  pabcc,  and  vre  mnunlerl  on  llie  Icadi,  walking  aloi^ 
the  parapet,  itll  u'c  cntnc  10  a  square  coun.  "There,  look  down,  thai  i«  the  King* 
libnir)- ;  he  has  no  btttrr  in  thu  buiMing,'  '&ii  my  cuRipuiinn.  Tlic  rcnKfk  wai  a 
syinjUi^m  of  n  mdiol  diitngc  in  frcline,  .ind  that  tlic  lime  of  the  oUl  respect  for  i  goiul 
Bourlion  king  ciiuld  never  relitm.  I Tookwl  down,  and  ssiw  five  or  six  cooki  in  while

I  kaovi  o(  no  other.*  1  his  [reflected  Mr.  Kedding]  wauki  lie  thoii^it  a  diu^pectful 
remark  by  older  cmignnis  who  were  evidences  thai  the  talent  of  teeing  with  ihcir 
own  eye*  U  not  nivvn  to  eretybody." 

But  whatever  Mr.  Redding  may  mean  to  convey  by  this  last  mystical 
ubseivaiion,  our  own  tonvittiou  in,  that  from  the  leads  of  tiic  Tuileries 
there  really  was  sonietliing  more  than  fipitted  larks  for  him  to  sec,  and 
which  he  did  not  sec  witli  his  own  eyes ;  that  something  was  a  fanard 
—  we  do  not  mean  a  duck,  but  a  hoax. 

'Ihe  l*rench  guanlsman  doubtless  relished  his  Knglish /<jrj&,  but  un- 
seizable  was  the  French  canard  to  the  English  moralist  on  the  leads  of 
the  Tuileries.  who  elsewhere^,  when  speaking  of  l-ouis  Ic  Gros  (XVIII,) 
"as  a  glutton,  shows  a  lack  of  fine  oppredniion  betwixt  a  f^rmet  and  a 
gourmand.  The  delicile  science  of  gastronomy,  for  which  that  monarch 
was  famous,  is  in  fact  altogether  beyond  the  author  of  '*  Fifty  Years' 
Recollections"  when  he  makes  the  assertion  that  *'  Louis  would  gladlv, 
like  the  clown  in  the  ploy,  'eat  his  pudding  and  hold  his  tongue/" 
Louis,  as  ever)'body  knows,  was  the  last  to  hold  his  tongue  ;  but  he  might 
have  done  so  from  astonislimcnt  in  presence  of  an  English  pudding  of 
C}Tiis  Rcdding's  fabrication,— anything  but  **  a  dainty  dish  to  set  before 
a  king." 

It  is  surprising  tl>at  a  literary  celebrity  like  Mr.  Redding  should  not 
have  found  belter  opportunities  for  }.tudying  the  habits  of  the  king  of 
French  pedants  than  thoscafrorded  to  him  hy  a  guardsman's  larks  on  the 
leads  of  ihe  Tuileries ;  but,  as  he  him&elf  observes,  "  What  a  suit  of 
motley  is  man's  nature  1 "  And,  to  quote  from  his  own  words  when 
speakmg  of  a  contemporary  of  his  youth,  his  mind  seems  to  have  been 
"  filled  with  a  strange  medley  of  incanipteheiisiible  ideas,  unlickcd, 
shapeless  ;"  although  in  the  three  vohiines  full  uf  them  now  beiore  us, 
he  has  done  his  best  to  prevent  his  ideas  [teparting  "  to  tlic  customary 
limbo  of  first-rate  metaphysical  inconclusions."     Perhaps,  however,  his

past  experience  sometimes  suggested  such  a  fate  for  them  ;  for,  says  he, 
after  quoting  some  lines  by  B^ranger  ending — 

"  Vingt  Bfis  >■■  plu*,  ban  hoiDme  attcndx  encore 
L'nnif  ^orta  sous  un  myon  (1»  cieux  ! " — 

"  I  can  remember,"  sighs  he,  whilst  awaiting  the  hatching  of  his  own  egg 
<lfac  itlorra  of  which  ncctl  not  have  been  predicted  with  a  double  r,  as 
above) — 

"  I  can  remember  thirty,  forty,  and  more  >'cais  paued  itwny  since  similar  hopes 
HFTc  bom  and  died  into  the  «amc  mnclitsian.  Who  itittt  reflccis  will  nul  recognUe 
Ihst  feeling  of  deluded  expectation  wliich  nmkct  life,  after  all,  a  liugc  cbani." 

And  so  weighed  down  by  this  reflection  was  Mr.  Redding  thai,  in  the 
copy  of  it  DOW  before  us,  he  has  uot  even  put  a  note  of  JDlerrogation  at 
the  end  of  iu 

But  stitl  he  wa^i  sublimely  resigned ;  for  in  the  very  next  passage, 
following  thai  reflection  about  the  non-hatching  or  his  e^^,  he  tells  tis 
that  he  smtkil.  "In  the  Italian  Boulevard,"  says  he,  "one  morning 
with  a  smile  on  my  face,  I  was  passing  die  Neapolitan  cuffcc-housc, 
where  ices  were  disguised  as  fruiL"  Was  there  a  Hicrary  suggestion  in 
that  disguise?  "On  a  wanii  day,  a  gallant  sea  captain  had  taken  a  large 
solid  plum  into  his  capaciuus  mouth  without  thinking  of  its  effect,"  and 
then,  "thinking  on  this  incident  and  laughing  to  himself,"  Mr.  C>tus 
Rcd<iing  overtook  Lord  Boringdon.  But  enough  of  the  large  solid 
iced  phim  which  Cyrus  Redding  has  put  into  the  world's  capacious 
tnonth  ;  and,  smile  blandly  though  he  may,  tec  him  remember  that  for  a 
prophet  to  laugh  outright  to  himself  at  the  world  is  beneath  his  dignity. 
And  C)Tiis  Redding  was  a  prophet  not  less  than  a  philosopher  ;  for  from 
the  moment  he  caught  sight  of  the  fat  Bourbon  king  and  the  lean 
Bourbon  princes  at  a  review,  he  foresaw  the  downlall  of  royalty  in 
France  ;  and  even  though  we  may  seem  lo  know  less  tlian  we  did 
before  of  Talma,  de  Staet.  Beckford,  Campbell,  and  a  host  of  other 
celebrities  from  his  personal  "  Recollections"  of  them,  there  arc  mora 
than  enough  of  his  "  obsenacions  on  men  and  things  "  to  edify  us  still. 

So  solemn,  indeed,  are  some  of  his  "  thoughts  of  human  destinies 
even  among  the  highest,"  dial  one  day,  wlien  some  forty  years  ago  he 
look  refuge  from  the  outer  water-pipes  in  the  chapel  of  deserted 
Versailles,  the  artillery  of  heaven  itself  pealed  in  response  to  his  reflec- 
tions.    After  which,  says  he, — 

"The  5t«TRi  soon  tubtidcd,  and  in  an  hmir  or  Iwo  llic  .-itmcaiilietr  wo*  perfectly 
letenr.  A  rnilltful  picture  o(  the  revolution,  t!ioiif;ljl  I,  v.\  I  tuok  leowc  of  VL-ruillci 
for  the  1a>t  time.'' 

In  what  that  faithful  picture  consialetl,  we  fail  to  perceive  ;  but  who 
can  say,  despite  all  Mr.  Redding  tells  us  of  his  Recollections,  and  then 
again  of  his  rellc^lions  upon  his  Recollections,  and  tliat  for  the  last  fifty 
years,  who  can  say  what  revelations  were  reserved  for  himself  alone  i  or 
who  can  suffinenlly  applaud  liis  pluck  in  publishing  (for  ihc  goofl  of 
posterity,  of  course)  the  three  ihuk  \olume8  before  us  ?  Surely  such  an 
offering  of  his  Rccolleclions  and  Obser\'ations  to  the  human  race  at  large 
must  somehow  mysteriously  result  from  his  having,  when  a  baby,  L«tn 
"dandled"  on  tJie  Lnee  of  *' Howard  the  philanthropist."    But  one

[AfRlL, 


good  negative  point  there  is  in  Cvtus  Reddinjf's  Ancrdoie  Autobiography, 
and  that  point  is  tliat  it  does  not  feed  the  iUitmui  with  all  the  vices  and 
misfortunes  of  cvcr>'  private  fciniilj' ;  nor  does  this  writer, — as  Horac* 
Walpole  says,  of  some  scribblers  in  his  latter  dap, — "  call  it  a  dtOy  to 
publish  all  those  calamities  which  decency  to  wretched  relatives  used  m 
compassion  to  suppress." 

Since  the  publication  of  the  respectable  Cyrus  Redding's  Recol- 
lections, this  duty  has  been  fearfully  well  and  thrice  fulfilled  by  the 
Honourable  Cirantley  F.  Berkeley.' 

Unlike  llie  "  Hfiy  Vears'  Recollections"  of  Cyrus  Redding,  no  mild 
preface,  no  meek,  apologies,  pa^e  the  reader's  way  to  the  first  chapter  of 
the  Hon.  Grantley  F.  IJerkeiey's  gigantic  book  ;  but  as  that  gentleman's 
portrait  is  prefixed  to  the  title-page,  the  two  first  words  of  the  tatter, 
"  My  Life,"  seem  lo  stand  out  incaniate ;  and  few  dare  doubt  the 
physical  force  of  the  author,  or  the  muscular  strength  of  his  aim  and 
heail,  when  looking  at  llut  portrait  or  at  the  bold  autograph,  entwined 
with  curious  whip-cord  flouribhes,  beneaili  il.  It  is,  therefore,  with 
something  of  agreeable  surjirise  that  the  reader,  thus  reminded  before- 
hand of  the  author's  physical  force,  finds  itie  "first  recollections"  re- 
corded in  the  pages  before  us  to  be  of  such  a  lamb-like  character  that 
any  household  .saint,  unsiisptrinus  of  woUes  in  sheep's  clotliing,  might 
be  glad  to  take  on  trust  ihf  Hon.  Grantluy  Berkeley's  first  volume — 
almost  as  big  as  a  Family  Bible — for  Sunday  readings  at  home.

Now  this  is  really  very  generous  on  the  part  of  our  author;  but  we 
should  like  to  know  the  name  of  that  incjuisitivc  reader,  whose  thirst  for 
a  thorough  knowledge  of  diis  honourable  gentleman's  life  has  thus 
cruelly  compelled  him  to  reveal  "  certain  particulars  of  family  history;" 
for,  as  he  himself  says,  "these  are  essentially  of  a  |>rivate  nature ;"  and 
then,  further  on,  he  adds,  with  Spartan  like  firmness,  "  Painful  to  me 
ihcy  may  be,  but  iheir  discussion  has  become  a  duty." 

A  duly  to  whom?  To  that  nameless  reader  who,  for  his  impertinent 
caricwily,  deserve?  to  be  horsewhipped?  By  what  unexampled  t>Tanny

roister  the  number  of  his  illegitimate  brothers  ;  to  uncover  their  moral 
deformities ;  to  accuse  his  nearest  blood  relatives  of  perjury ;  and  to 
lacerate — to  mangle— the  memor>'  of  his  own  mother?  Is  English  family 
biography  to  be  judged  at  home  or  abroad  by  this  specimen  of  it  ?

Not  even  is  the  sanctuary  of  this  English  writer's  own  home  in  later 
life  any  longer  s3irTc<l  now  from  scandalous  intrusion  ;  for  by  the  same 
inexorable  Nf»tisis  of  fate,  called  l)y  him  his  duty,  the  screen  between 
it  and  the  public  has  been  pulled  down  by  his  own  hands. 

At  the  end  of  the  fourth  big  volume  of  his  long  Life  and  manifold 
Recollections,  the  Hon.  Grantlcy  F.  Berkeley  shows  how,  in  tlic  summer 
of  i860, —

sorae  light  to  expect  u  litUe  mercy  from  him.  Is  it  in  behalf  of 
"the  bkssed  (aith  of  the  £sui)Ii:ihed  Religion,"  as  he  calls  it,  in  the 
last  words  of  tlie  last  of  those  four  huge  volumes,  that  he  does  violence 
to  himself  by  thus  revealing  to  the  public  the  matters  which  alone  alTect 
his  own  private  IHc  1  "  It  is  in  my  power,"  he  threatens,  "  to  show  up 
the  Jesuitical  system  of  priestcraft  still  more."  But  we  really  hope 
that  he  will  refrain  from  doing  so  as  a  duty  to  himself,  if  he  cannot 
achieve  his  object  without  an  outrage  on  popular  English  prejudice 
with  regard  to  tlw  sanctit)-  of  family  tics  and  domestic  life,  and  also 
without  prejudice  to  the  ladies  of  his  family;  for  even  according  to

Ilie  Hon.  Graniley  Berkeley  himself  tells  us  in  the  first  volume  of  this 
amaxing  work  of  his,  that  more  than  half  ,i  ccntnry  had  elapsed  since 
**an  authentic  account"  of  some  circumstiinces  unpleasantly  affecting 
At  early  life  of  his  own  mother  had  appeared  ;  and  it  is  indeed  a 
remarkable  case  when  the  moral  interests  of  humanity  require  a  son  to 
resuscitate  scandals,  which,  though  notorious  two  generations  since, 
have  long  ago  been  laid  at  rest  Doubtless  this  sexagenarian  has  had 
his  grie%-auces ;  and  though  a  man  may  be  said  to  be  good  for  nothing 
without  one  rair,  ycl  too  many  raws,  and  the  varied" experiences  of  a 
long  life,  naturally  affect  his  temper;  but  the  world,  like  any  other 
old  acquaintance,  is  apt  to  shirk  being  button-holed  for  the  express 
purpose  of  listening  to  an  unasked  account  of  private  woes. 

I'erbaps  not  titc  least  of  the  Hon.  Crantley  Berkeley's  early  &mily 
grievances  w.u  the  fsct,  that  "  no  sooner  did  his  boyish  muse  exhibit 
itself,  than  it  was  for  the  lime  ridiculed  and  crushed  out  of  Iwing."  Thi-S 
with  regard  to  posterity,  was  a  pity,  for  speaking  of  himself  when  under 
the  influence  of  poetry,  he,  the  great  titciar>'  sportsmaD.  says : — 

"  1  ih«i  contmll'd 
My  tears ;  my  beatt  grew  calm,  and  I  wu  meek  and  bold." 

Little,  however,  did  he  then  foresee  what  a  long  run  in  fields  of 
prose  was  in  store  for  him,  and  how  he  would  outrun  himself  by  the 
rime  the  century  with  which  he  was  bom  should  have  attained  the  ripe 
age  of  sixt)*-sevett.  For,  nothing  daunted  by  the  Jesuits,  nor  impeded 
by  female  petticoats,  he — not  meek,  but  bold— ^ays  of  himself  in  the 
introduction  to  his  '*  Anecdotes  of  the  Upper  Ten  Thousand  "  : —

himself  on,  it  is  that  he  "  never,  by  any  cliancc,  writes  anything  for 

publication  that  any  girl  might  not  read,"  and  that  therefore  in  the 

course  of  the  big  two-volume  new  work  to  which  all  these  announcements 

form  a  preface,  he  is  about  to  publish  a  tale  in  it  which  some  time  ago 

was  returned  to  him  by  the  editor  of  a  periodical  (weekly)  as  "unfit  for

observed  between  the  mule  and  the  hybrid,  the  discursive  contents  of 

these  most  extraordinary  volumes  are  quite  beyond  the  pale  of  criticism. 

Would  that  their  author,  ere  poetry  within  him  had  been  *'  ridiculed 

and  crushed  out  of  being,"  could  have  said  with  anything  like  prophetic 

truth  ;—

But  where  will  "  Recent  Anecdote  Biography "  and  its  egregious 
egotism  end  ?  The  various  titles  ascribed  to  it  by  its  several  writers 
so  closely  resemble  one  ano.her.  that  with  all  these  "  Recollections  and 
Reminiscences,"  the  memoiies  of  Mr.  Mudic's  subscribers  become  con- 
fused. But  here  let  us  re<  all  to  mind  "  Filty  Years'  Biographical

This  "important  event,"  as  the  noble  recorder  of  it  is  pleased  to

Great  Britain  amounted  to  391,612,313/,  "  what  was  then  cotuidcKd  an 
alarming  sum,"  but  which,  says  Lord  William  Lennox,  speaking  of  his 
own  times  as  a  man,  "  has  since  reached  three  limes  this  amount" 

Morality  was  also  at  a  low  ebb  during  the  earlier  years  of  his  lord- 
ship's minorily  ;  duelling  was  *'  conspicuous  among  the  social  charac- 
teristics of  the  upper  ranks  in   England Popular  reading  was 

limited  in  extent,  and  rarely  of  first-class  excellence ; and  any 

event  of  remarkable  enormity  was  sure  of  a  long  sensational  career  in 
every  towTi-house  or  counlry-housc  in  the  kingdom."  As  to  the  length 
of  that  sensational  career  no  rcatJcr  of  the  two  thick  volumes  no«-  before

Mrs.  Lee,"  "  affairs  of  gallantry,"  the  "  Princess  of  Wales,"  and  the  much 

more  scandalous  inquiry, which  took  place  in  the  year  1S09.  into

In  the  Hon.  Giantley  Berkeley's  "Life  and  Recollections,"  above

for  their  antiquity,  one  racy  biographer  seems  to  write  "/tfwr  ernvuroger

highness,  who«:  "sinister  handlings  are  not  easily  to  be  computed,'' 
again  make  their  appearance  in  the  first  volume  of  the  work  now  before 
us,  although  only  at  a  time  antecedent  to  I  «rrl  William  Lennox  s  "  early 
education,"  concerning  which,  says  he,  "  I  have  a  decided  impression 
that  it  was  neither  systematic  nor  strict.  The  nidimentar>'  process  was 
not  so  carefully  attended  to  in  the  nursery-  as  it  ought  to  have  been, 
and,"  continues  he,  "at  our  transplantation  to  (joodwood,  I  am  afraid 
that  the  ^vourile  preceptor  of  nipclf  and  brothers  was  to  be  found  in

his  intense  passion  for  the  drama  from  his  first  year  at  Westminster ;  and 
it  n'as  during  his  holidays  at  the  Phoenix  Park,  Dublin,  tliat  he  fiint

nary  announcement  just  qujled  to  prepare  them  for  the  inevitable 
chapter  oq  "The  Diike  of  Wellington  "  and  the  '"Journey  to  Paris," 
in,  or  not  ]ong  after,  the  year  1814.  Trite,  and  all  of  them  bearing 
a  wishy-washy  resemblance  to  each  other,  arc  the  Anglo-Gallic  tales 
of  that  time  in  Paris ;  but,  with  regard  to  that  capital,  it  must, 
ne^'cnbelc5B,  be  ronfcs.-icd  that  Lord  William  Lennox'3  "  Fifty  Years* 
Reminiscences"  are  preferable  to  Cynis  Redding's  "Fifty  Years'  Recol- 
lections;" for  the  former  rode  "  the  !>uke's"  horses,  and  drove  about, 
laughing  and  talking;  by  the  side  of  hisCirace;  whilst  the  latter  (Mr. 
Rwlding),  when  his  day  came,  was  content,  as  stated  in  a  previous 
page,  to  gaze  on  the  Dulcc  when  his  Grace,  with  one  very  doubtful 
chestnut  horse,  "rode  out  daily  along  the  Boulevards,  attended  by  a 
boy  groom." 

Again,  somewhat  better  placed  for  ohservarion  than  Mr.  Rcdiling — 
looking  (as  already  stated)  on  the  Icing's  spitted  larks  from  the  lcad.<i 
of  the  Tiiilcries — was  Ixird  ^ViIlia[n  Lennox  when  he  "had  the  good 
fortune  to  accompany  Wellington  to  the  Tuilcrie*,"  as  "  nothing  could 
exceed  the  magnificence  of  the  entertainment,  nor  the  excellence  of  the 
cooking  ;  for  the  roy;il  Bourbon,  whn  was  himself  a  /'on  fivant"  (called 
by  Mr.  Residing  Agourmumi t)  "of  the  first  quality,  had  given  especial 
instructions  to  his  M</'c/fi///j»W  to  produce  upon  this  occasion  a  feast 

worthy  of  his  epicurean  reign  ;  and the  dinner  served  was  one  tliat 

would  have  gratified  the  heart  of  the  great  VateL" 

Now,  let  Mr.  Cyrus  RedJing  moodily  meditate  on  the  leads  as  he 

may,  the  "  royal  Bourbon.'  when  giving  especial  instructions  to  his  (/u/ 

demisiw,  was  a  philosopher  who,  having  read  men  as  well  as  books, 

had  an  ej'e  to  his  own  posthumous  fame,  and  who  knew  that  on  the 

_      digestions  of  future  biographers  and  historians  monarchs  are  dependent. 

■      Humanly  speaking,  it  is  the  fir^l  duty  of  a  biographer  to  himself  and 

I     his  neighbour,  king  or  cobbler,  to  look  after  his  own  liver,  for 


I

So  tluu  all  n>iKhicf&  spring  np  froni  this  cnirail. 
Like  arlhquakc^  from  the  liiddca  lire  cali'd  'central.'" 


But,  since  the  days  of  Adam,  let  a  man  do  his  duty  ever  so  well  by 
his  own  liver,  he  cannot  always  save  himself  from  a  fall :  and  to  the 
world  at  large  it  was  a  great  iva/  miinqui  when  Lord  ^V'iliiam  Lennox 
was  thrown  Irom  a  Cossack  horse  just  before  the  battle  of  Waterloo. 
He  consoles  himselt  however,  with  this  reflection ; — 

"Though,  at  the  eleventl)  hour,  »!ml  out  fmtn  the  actual  ficlitine,  I  was  not 
eKclttded  Iram  ihe  wdely  of  tlie  nciual  lii:hi«n  ;  and,  iliercfurc,  puirlly  fmm  being  on

Thiera  and  Hugo." 

Let  us  hope  from  this— his  self-consciousness  of  a  favourable  position — 
that  Lord  William  Lennox's  great  work  has  yet  to  appear.     Meantime, 
since   the   publication   of  his  "  Reminiscences,"  he  has  confessedly

What  is  there  so  ungcntile  in  the  trust  just  expresic<3  as  to  remindj 
one  of  "  old  clothes  ?"     And  this,  too,  after  such  Chnstian  reflection 
as  the  following  on  the  part  of  Lord  WiUiara  Lennox  : — 

"  A  man  who  has  lt««d  a  life  woilh  telling  must  ncces&arfly  meet  wiih 
cannot,  suktiy  Epeaking.  he  told  In  his  life.  A  man'i  friends  are  not  his  alon

"  O  tempora !  O  mores  !"  But  why  shouht  a  man  who  lias  lived  a  11 
worth  telling — whatever  that  may  be — persist  in  the  attempt  to  tcti  it 
twice  over,  when,  as  he  himself  say."!,  there  is  much  that  cannot,  strictly 
^•aking,  be  lold  at  all  in  his  hfc?  Why  should  a  "conscientious 
narrator"  sna]i  at  his  less  stnipuloiis  neighbour  because  he  himself  is 
tantalise*!  by  binding  himself  down  to  what  is  fit  and  relevant  ?  Is  thil 
the  result,  in  art.  of  ivh.it  Mr.  .Swinburne,  or  some  other  writer,  calb  the 
"Moral  Hcr<'sy?"  Hut,  tanuilised  by  conscience  though  he  be.  Lord 
William  I^nnox,  tiinitng  again  to  Drafls  on  bi»  Memory,  thus  con- 
tinues : — 


"  Wrhapt  1  have  not  much  right  to  complain,  il«  regards  the  present  wo«k.  for 
have  choMrn  a  laige  licld,  and  it  would  be  marc  eo^iy  la  cnrtail  Uun  to  ctcecd 
lioiits," 

We  rather  think  it  would,  cs])ecially  as  he  himself  afterwards  says, 
"  Some  men  have  such  curious  inemurics  that  there  is  nothing  novel  to

I 


In  the  opening  pangnph  of  his  first  chapter,  ihis  new    biographer 
astounds  us  grammaticdly  and  genealogically  by  this  announcemenl : — 

"The  Dttnciimbcihaw  conlribuWd  «verat  of  itt  mctnlMra  to  itie  land'nl  gcnirr  of 
Enffl>n(l>  '"^'^  "oiKn:  doocadcd  from  the  foinilf  wiginally  willed  at  Ivinghov,  Back' 
in^anuhitr." 

Here,  then,  at  last,  is  something  like  novel  informatioa  The  landed 
gentry  of  England  descended  from  ihe  family  originally  settled  at 
Ivinghoe,  Buck?  I  Was  Duncombe  the  name  of  that  original  i>arcnl 
stock?  Rut  ujion  this  point  the  present  author  of  that  name  Li  vaiue, 
merely  saying  that  "the  Duncombes  have  contributed  several  of//* 
members  to  the  landed  gentry  of  England  who  «/<»■<■,"  S:c.  It  is,  however, 
some  satisfaction  to  find  by  the  passage  immediately  following  the 
above  announcement,  that  "One  ''  (whether  a  Duncombe  or  one  of  the 
general  landed  gentry,  this  Duncombe  sailh  not)  "received  the  now 
-extinct  distinction  of  baronet  and  was  seated  in  Surrey;''  (no  wonder 
thai  so  many  new  K.niglits  have  lately  been  created  since  the  distinction 
of  baronet  is  extinct !)  and  that,  amongst  others, "  there  was  a  Duncombe 
of  Drayton  .  .  .  who've  eldest  son  was  knighted,  became  Lord  M.iyor  of 
Ix>ndon  in  170S,  and  died  in  1715-"  But  noi  having  in  these  columns 
given  the  pedigree  of  either  the  Bsrkeleys  or  the  Lennoxes,  it  is 
scarcely  worLh  while  here  lo  pursue  that  of  the  Duncombes,  save  tO' 
remind  the  reader  that  Thomas  Stingsby  Duncombe,  bom  in  1796,  was 
the  son  of  Lord  Kevershain's  brother  Thomas,  of  Copgrove,  and  of  his 
wife,  eldest  daughter  of  Dr.  HmchcUfTc,  Uishop  of  Peterborough.  But 
why  "a  list  of  the  school "  (Harrow),  drawn  up  by  this  painstaking 
young  Duncombe  in  i8ii,  is  published  in  the  heavy  green  volume  now 
before  us,  wc  tannat  say;  antl  in  what  the  peculi.ir  interest  consists  of 
seventeen  large-sized  pages  of  small  print,  entitled  " /?/<jri' ^^/w^fu 
Daruxmbe'"  (1813),  we  leave  for  patient  posterity  to  discover;  for  even 
the  filial  biographer,  10  whose  printers  we  stand  indebted  for  this  sample 
of  "  copy,"  confesses,  in  an  aflcr  page,  that  "  the  march  from  Holland 
10  Belgium  had  not  been  remarkable  for  results."  And  further  on,  he 
adds,  in  something  of  the  same  sort  of  grammar  that  characterises  his 
genealogy,— 

"  Th«  company  to  which  Ensign  Dunmmhe  belonged  appears  to  have  leturacd  ba 
England  ;  at  any  nil«  ihry  had  no  »h»rc  in  the  gloty  ubinincd  by  ihcit  Lomradet  for 
tbcir  gallant  ddcnccof  Hngoumgni  ihfti  contribnitd  tnatrrully  to  the  grand  victory  pf 
Wftierloo." 

In  the  next  chapter,  headed  "The  Beau  Monde,"  comes  the  scum  of 
"  Recent  Anecdote  Biography," — the  Scand.  Magn.  of  the  sort  with  which 
the  Hon.  OranUcy  Berkeley  (apart  from  his  own  family),  Lord  William 
I.«nnox,  and  other  leaders  of  this  style  of  literature,  have  done  their  best 
to  nauseate  the  present  generation.  Sdll,  however,  there  is  sometliing. 
quite  original  in  the  simplicity  of  the  following  portrait  of  the  celebrated 
Princess  de  Lieven,  who,  for  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  was  not' 
only  a  rulei  of  the  world  of  fashion,  but  whose  power  over  an  eminent 
French  statesman  and  man  of  letters  to  boot  is  said,  by  one  of  our  own 
best  informed  English  contemporaries,  to  have  amounted  to  a  fascination 
and  a  spell.     Mr.  Thomas  Duncombe  {,Jiii)  declares — 

"  Baton  Lieven,  aAcrwarcU  I'linct',  wa«  nmbamidor  from  Ihe  CODit  of  St.  Wlciv

In  an  equally  off-hand  way  are  other  portraits  of  variotis  cclcl^ties 
painted  ;  but  we  arc  not  made  to  understand  that  "  Madame  Catalani 
was  an  accomplished  musician,  and  extremely  fashionable  for  many 
seasons,"  uncil,  after  trailing  through  a  nuss  of  trite  facts  and  state  anec- 
dotes of  the  times  when  Mr.  Thomas  SUngsby  Dunccmbe  was  M.P. 
for  Hertford,  and  patronised  the  turf,  and  when  "  among  the  require- 
ments of  a  nun  of  fashion,  was  a  partiality  for  dramatic  performances," 
we  come  ujwn  "The  Green  Room  "  (cap.  ix.,  p.  172),  and  are  there 
introduced  to  that  which  this  filial  biographer  repeatedly  calls,  by  a 
strange  per^'ersion  of  French  gender,  "Z^janibe  de  Vestris."  In  the 
omnibus  box  of  the  King's  Theatre,  in  those  days  when  "  highly  respect- 
able grandlathers  established  themselves  as  patrons  of  ihe/rrima  i/i>nna, 
while  grave  and  reverend  seigniors  cotnpeiea  with  beardless  ensigns  for 
the  smiles  of  the  eeryphies"  Mr.  Duncombe  rented  a  seat  for  many  suc- 
cessive seasons;  ant),  as  his  son  still  further  informs  us,  the  inmates  of 
the  omnibus  box  had  op|}orLuniiics  afforded  them  of  studying  the  indi- 
vidual merits  of  the  most  eminent  artistes.  "  We  must,  however," 
continues  he,  with  remarkable  power  of  self-criticism,  "  be  content  here 
with  the  merest  reference  to  the  subject;  Mr.  Duneombc's  papers 
affording  no  evidence  that  cither  before  or  behind  the  scenes  at  'the 
King's  Theatre  '  he  was  more  than  a  spectator." 

And,  yet  in  the  course  of  this  same  chapter  on  "  The  Green  Room," 
it  is  thought  necessary  by  the  discreet  Mr.  Duncombc's  biographer  to 
thrust  upon  the  public  copies  of  private  letters — subjects  nearly  forty 
years  old — of  theatrical  and  social  scandal,  and  which  can  be  of  no 
possible  interest  to  the  present  generation.  And  not  only  letters,  but 
memoranda  of"  Madame  Vestris's  Gains,"  and  "  Madamc's  Debts  ;'*  to 
say  nothing  of  notes  beginning  in  that  worse  than  anonymous  fasht<»]-> 

'*  My  de.ir ,"  or  "  My  dear  H ."  or  "  Dear  Master  Devil"     As 

to  the  political  Interest  of  these  two  volumes  of  Mr.  Duncombe's  "Life 
and  Correspoadente,"  it  is  anything  but  elevated  by  their  publication  of 
a  common  hand-bill,  which,  at  the  close  of  the  poll  in  1834,  declared 
his  election  for  Pinsbut^'.  Mr.  Duncombe's  "  Canadian  Journal,"  which 
occupies  an  after  chapter  of  the  work  before  us,  contains  some  si.atten:d 
firagroenls,  of  interest  cliiefly  to  tliose  who  were  pcrsoQally  acquainted 
with  the  writer  ;  but  tlic  general  reader  may  well  be  surprised  nhcn,  at 
the  commencement  of  the  second  vulume,  he  comes  upon  the  birth, 
parentage,  education,  and  imprisonment  (at  Ham)  of  the  present  Em- 
peror of  the  French.  This  episode,  however,  serves  but  to  introduce 
the  fact  tliat  Mr.  Duncombe  had  too  great  a  regard  for  Prince  Loui& 
Napoleon  and  the  name  he  bore  to  remain  indifferent  to  his  late. 

"  In  Ibe  fiwl  place,  he  jecored  the  co-operation  of  the  vrealtby  l>«Vc  of  B  , 
w^o  wnnleil  a  Itonnpcute  to  anttt  biin  iv  muntain  important  claim)^ ;  aDd  then,  having

But  as  the  conditions  of  liiis  "  Treaty  '*  between  "  F.  .V  G.  D.  of  Bk." 
and  "  Prince  Louis  Napoleon  "  have  heen  already  ventilated  Iiy  some 
organs  of  the  London  press,  and  as  "the  Duke  of  Brunswick's  Will" 
(1846),  and  ihe  "Schedule  of  the  I>uke  of  Brunswick's  Valuables"  arc 
(lublishcd  amongst  the  mUccUancous  contents;  of  the  work  before  us,  no 
comment  is  here  required  on  how  "for  Mr.  Duncomhc  fhe  brilliant 
bubble  buret." 

It  is  true  that,  during  more  than  half  a  rentury  of  arduous  public  service, 
the  life  of  "  Honest  Tom  Duncombc"  was  on  the  whole  devoted,  as  his 
son  5a>*<i,  to  all  who  wanted  an  advocilc  or  a  friend,  without  res|>cct  to 
creed  or  nationaUty,  without  the  slightest  reference  to  social  prejudices 
and  partialities  ;  and  it  is,  therefore,  to  be  the  more  regretted  tlut  the 
record  of  that  life,  as  it  stands  before  us,  should  be  almost  lost  amidst 
worn-out  anecdotes  of  no  pleasing  character,  and  "  Correspondence  " 
upon  subjects  which  are  either  too  trivial  for  publication,  or  which,  as  a 
general  rule,  have  long  since  ceased  to  be  of  interest  to  the  public  atj 
large.  The  same  remark  applies,  more  or  less  to  all  such  works,  and 
tlieir  name  is  legion,  uhich,  in  England,  bare  been  published  during  the 
last  ten  years. 

Specimens  enough  of  this  prurient  style  of  book-making  have  been 
given,  but  wc  arc  again  reminded  of  Emma  Sophia  Countess  Brownlow's  , 
work,  alluded  to  in  an  early  paragraph  of  this  jMipcr  as  affortling  a  pleasant ' 
exception  to  the  son  of  biographies  of  which  it  treats,  by  the  still  raorai 
recent  publication  of  another  little  book  not  dissimilar  to  it :  wc  allude 
to  the  Hon.  Amelia  Murray's  "'  Recoltectioni;."^ 

"  It  was  known  by  several  persons  that  llic  publication  of  this  little 
hook  was  intended  before  Uidy  Brownlow's  '  Reminiscences'  were  pub- 
lished," sa)-s  the  wTiter  in  her  preface,  and  .ihc  expresses  a  hope  of 
evincing  to  her  readers  "that  the  two  'Septuagenarians,'  wiihout  con- 
sultation, or  even  mutual  acquaintance,  are  in  accordance,  and  not  ia 
collision." 

I^ss  than  a  hundred  small  pages  of  clear  print  suffice  to  contain  these 
"  Recollections "'  now  offered  to  the  public  by  the  granddaughter  of 
"the  Oowagcr  Duchess  of  Atholc  of  about  a  hundred  and  fifty  years 
since,"  and  the  daughter  of  Lady  t^corgc  Murray,  who  in  her  widowhood 
was  held  in  high  esteem  by  Queen  Charlotte.  Some  letters  from  that 
Queen  to  her  "  dearest  Lady  George  "  are  published  in  the  volume  now 
before  us,  and  agreeably  illustnite  the  homely  kindness  of  heart  which 
endeared  George  JIL  and  his  consort  to  many  of  those  of  their  court 
who  were  also  their  personal  friends.  Such  letters  are  .Tppropriately 
interleaved  with  the  "  Recollections  "  of  one  who,  as  a  child,  sat  at  the 
feet  of  her  unostentatious  Majesty,  and  whose  rcm^u'ks  on  things  and 
people  of  the  long  since  past  arc,  though  by  no  means  brilliant,  or 
attractive  from  their  novelty,  singularly  inoffensive.  Critics  arc  not  likely 
!o  prove  hostile  to  the  Hon.  Amelia  Murray's  unpretending  book,  and 
the  less  so  because  it,  like  that  of  her  sister  Septuagenarian,  is  short ;  for 
thoughbrevitybenot  always  the  sou]  of  wit,  it  is  a  rare  and  most  estimable 
virtue  in  these  days  of  voluminous  Recent  Anecdote  Biography.

HISTORICAL   CHARACTERS.- 

SECOND  NOTICE. 

I  EXT  to  TallejTand,  in  Sir  H.  Bulwer's  recently  published 
work,  comes iJir  James  Mackintosh,  "  The  MaD  of  Promise," 
and  certainly  it  is  Impossible  to  imagine  a  greater  contrast 
than  he  presents  to  the  arch-diplomatist  of  France,  "The 
Politic  Man  "  above  n.iiiied,  ol  whose  life  a  sketch  was  given 
in  the  preceding  number  of  this  Magazine.  Unlike  that  of  Talleyrand, 
the  name  of  Sir  James  Mackintosh  is  now  entirely  forgotten  by 
many  F.nglish  readers,  and  even  iQ  his  own  day  there  were  some  wha 
wondered  what  he  had  done  *'  thai  people  should  think  liim  so  superior." 
A  French  lady  once  asked  ^[ackinIosh  to  satisfy  her  curiosity  upon  this 
point,  and,  with  quaint  modesty,  he  afterwards  declared  that,  in  reply,, 
he  was  obliged  to  refer  to  his  projects.  By  Campbell,  however,  it  was 
said  that  "had  Mackintosh  published  nothmg  else  than  his  '  Disrourse 
on  the  1.3W  of  Nature  and  Nations,'  he  would  have  left  a  perfect  monu- 
ment of  his  strength  and  symmetry;"  and  by  Madame  dc  Stai.'l,  the 
translator  of  his  spcci'h  on  the  defence  of  the  trial  of  Peltier,  Mackintosh 
was  considered  "  the  first  man  in  England.'*  As  a  renewcr  of  the 
"Regicide  Peace"  he  was  welcomed  by  Burke  to  Beaconsfield,  an<l  in 
France  not  less  than  in  England  was  he  celebrated  for  his  ■'  Vindida 
GaUic:c  ;"  although  when,  in  1803,  complimented  by  Frenchmen  on  that 
production,  he  quietly  protested,  with  the  same  sort  of  quaint  wit  just 
referred  to,  "  Messieurs,  votis  m'a*-ez  si  bien  refute."  But  though  Foi 
lauded  Mackintosh  in  Parliament,  and  Lord  Erskinc  affirmed  that  bis 
•(peech  On  the  trial  of  Peltier  was  "one  of  the  most  splendid  monuments 
of  genius,  Icarnint,',  and  eloquence,"  his  present  biographer,  with  reOion, 
obsenx'swith  regard  to  this  law^fer^  author,  and  member  of  Parliament: — 

"  Maiclunlosli  nctcr  arnvcil  at  on  eniinciicc  iit  law,  in  lellCt*,  ra  in  (Hilitics,  thai

To  give  anytliing  like  a  graphic  sketch  of  a  life  so  comparatively  tm- 
evenlful  as  that  of  Mackintosh,  requires  a  refined  insight  into  charactet 
on  the  part  of  a  biographer,  and  it  is  for  this  reason  Uut  the  portraiture 
of  ''  The  Man  of  I'roiiiise  "  in  the  volume  now  before  us  is  even  per- 
haps more  highly  to  be  prized  thjii  that  of  Cobbell,  "  The  Contentious 
Man,'*  in  its  succeeding  jiages.

Hush  of  his  wcli-earned  fame  at  the  bar,  "  accepted  the  Recordciship  ol'

which  comiiKmoraies  more  Christian  manners  and  more  mild  legislation." 

WilUam  Cobbcti,  the  son  of  a  small  f.inncr,  was,  as  Sir  H.  Bulwcr 
ably  demonstrates,  in  character  just  the  reverse  of  Mackintosh,  the 
"  man  of  great  powers  of  reasoning,  of  accomplished  learning,  but  of 
little  or  no  sustained  energy."  With  the  main  facts  of  Cobbett's  life 
most  English  readers  are  familiar.  Hi^  boyhood  in  the  fields,  his  flight

The  volume  before  us  helps  to  give  a  fresh  zest  to  the  study  of 
Cajining's  character ;  and,  as  its  author  truly  says,  the  latter  passages  of 
that  fascinating,  though  not  faultlcbs,  stateman's  life,  are  worthy  of  pro- 
foimd  study.  Indeed,  with  regard  to  Canning,  there  are  few  English 
readers  who  can  fait  to  feel  ''affection  for  his  memory,  and  a  sympa- 
thciic  admiration  fur  his  genius."  Nut  the  least  popular,  therefore,  is  ne, 
*'The  Brilliant  Man,"  likely  to  remain  of  Sir  H.  Bulwcr's  four  "  Historical 
Characters." 


LAST   AUTUMN    IN    ROME," 

[T  is  extraordinary,  consideiing  llie  excitement  which  pre- 
vailed in  Kngland  lost  autumn  during  CaribaMi's  abortive 
effort  against  Rome,  that  so  few  authors  have  endeavoured 
to  turn  the  occasion  to  account,  and  to  supplement,  by 
well-considered  digests  of  facts  drawn  from  authentic 
sources  the  ncrc3sarily  brief  and  crude  statements  which  proceeded 
from  tlie  pens  of  newspaper  correspondents  at  the  time. 

The  author  of  "  From  Rome  to  .Mcnlana  "  is  a  lady,  and  she  writes

The  Geniiitnan's  Magazine. 


[April, 


with  all  a  lady's  wit  ami  liveliness ;  but  she  has  given  us  in  her  little 
volume  something  more  than  ladies  generally  tnarugc  to  produce,  and 
that  is  a  truthful,  reliable,  and  imiortial  narrative  of  events  more 
pregnant  with  interest  to  Italy  and  to  Europe  than  any  which  have 
occurred  sinec  the  eventful  year  of  the  Rei'oiuiion  of  1S4S.  Indeed, 
the  worit  before  us  might  easily  pass  e^'cn  for  the  inotk  ai  tlie  practised 
pen  of  a  "  ready  writer,"  well  versed  in  politics  and  conversant  with 
the  world  of  European  affairs ;  and  it  abounds  besides  with  graphic 
description  and  sjiarkling  anecdote.  The  writer  gives  us  an  account  of 
her  journey  from  London  to  Florence,  and  thence  to  R«ne ;  and  the 
story  of  the  night  spent  by  her  and  her  fclJow-travellcTS — three  other 
"unprotected  females"— at  the  miserable  station  at  Orbitello,  in  the 
midst  of  wounded  Gnribaldian  soldiers,  is  admirably  told.  So  is  her 
interview  with  the  Roman  ^mdarmeric,  who  intruded  on  her  in  her 
drawing-room  in  the  Rue  d'Espagna.    She  ivrites : — 

"  I  headed  part  of  the  sergeant's  front-door  party  into  tlie  dining- 
room,  where  the  first  thing  ihcy  perceived  was  the  Union  Jack  standing 
in  a  comer  ready  for  use.  Now  it  so  happened,  that  it  was  so  folded 
that  nothing  but  the  red  was  visible,  and  these  heroes  nude  a  rash  at 
it :  it  was  evidently  a  Garibaldian  flag.  I  must  own  that  J  was  delighted 
when,  on  shaking  it  out  ferociously,  the  dear  old  union  in  the  corner 
became  visible  to  all  beholders,  and  ihey  put  it  down,  saying  iti  a  dis^ 
appointed  lone,  '  It  is  nothing  but  an  English  flag.'  *  You  will  And  it 
something,  if  you  meddle  with  it,'  I  growled.  At  this  inAtant  the  back- 
door party  entered  by  the  opposite  door,  with  the  elegant  Colonel  at 
their  iiead,  attended  by  my  friend,  who  was  half  frightened  and  half 
amused — and  pointed  out  the  Union  Jark  as  a  proof  that  we  were  really 
English,  on  which  he  most  gncefiilly  took  off  his  hat  to  it;  an  act  for 
which  I  foigavu  !iim  his  unceremonious  aiirif,  nnd  merely  gratified  my 
spite  by  asking  tn  the  politest  of  tones,  '  How  many  more  dragoons, 
Colonel,  to  look  after  seven  women  ? '  " 

Among  the  best  parts  of  the  book  arc  the  accounts  of  the  writer's 
visit  to  the  battle-fields  of  Montana  and  Monte  Rotondo,  before 
the  blood  was  dry  or  the  corpses  all  buried  ;  the  entry  of  ihc  poor 
Garibaldian  prisoncns  into  Rome ;  and  the  chapters  on  the  Roman 
hospitals  and  the  heroic  Bishop  of  Albano. 

With  respect  to  Garibaldi's  cnlerprisc,  it  is  the  writer's  opinion  that 
immediately  after  ihc  battle  of  Monte  Rotondo,  Garibaldi  lost  llic  best 
po!isil>Ic  chance  oi  uking  Rome.     She  says  : — 

"  It  was  my  wonder  then,  and  it  i»  still,  that  Garibaldi  did  not  push 
on  that  cLay.  He  might  have  had  Rome  cheap ;  there  was  not  eight 
hundred  fighiing  men  in  tlie  place  to  oppose  him,  for  at  that  time  the 
Papal  troops  liad  not  been  recalled  from  Frosinone.  Vjllctri.  and  the 
other  towns  Ihcy  were  garrisoning,  and  the  troops  in  Rome  were  worn 
out,  dispirited,  and  broken." 

The  honesty  of  Garibaldi  and  his  followers  has  been  seriously  im- 
peached ;  but  d)c  following  statements  seem  to  contradict  such  insinua- 
tions : — •'  We  heard  the  same  account  of  ihe  conduct  of  the  Garibaldians 
here  as  elsewhere :  they  fwid  for  everjnhing  they  had  except,  as  usiwl,  for- 
age and  labour  at  the  barricades,  for  which  notes  signed  'G.  Garibaldi'  were 
given.     They  behaved  with  perfect  order  and  propriety,  and  seemed  to

have  left  .1  good  imprt-ssion  Uchind  them  ....  The  Garibaldini  paid 
for  everything  llic)-  had,  except  forage  far  the  horses  which  they  took, 
and  gave  promissory  notes  for  the  amount,  signed  'G.  Garibaldi.'  Mo 
doubt,  had  he  succeeded,  they  would  have  been  cashed — at  present,  of 
course,  ihtfv  art:  worth  nothing  ;  but  they  are  being  carefully  preserved, 
under  the  icica  that,  assuredly,  some  day  or  other,  they  will  be  wonh  a^i 
much  as  the  Scudo  notes  of  the  Bank  of  Rome." 

And  again :— "  There  can  be  little  doubt  that  had  the  attempt  of 
Garibaldi  and  his  friends  succeeded,  their  utmost  influence  would  have 
been  used  to  preserve  their  native  city  with  all  its  treasures  of  art  as  un- 
touched as  possible — regarding  it  as  they  did  and  do,  as  the  future 
capital  of  Italy,  to  be  adorned  and  hcautific^l  rather  than  ravaged  and 
destroyed.  Nor  did  I  ever  hear  of  any  one,  save  the  ecclesiastics  them- 
selves, who  expressed  any  fears  for  the  safety  of  life  .ind  property,  even 
had  the  fully  expected  entrance  of  Garib-ildi  into  the  city  taken  place. 
There  was  more  danger  from  within  than  from  without" 

But  while  the  writer  llius  expresses  her  sympathies  in  favour  of  Gari- 
baldi, she  has  room  to  say  many  a  good  word  of  the  supreme  Pontiff: — 
"Personally  the  Pope  is  beloved  aud  esteemed  ;  of  stainless  character, 
courteous  manners,  and  much  natural  kindness  of  heart,  he  ought,  in- 
deed, to  be  so.  He  has  spent  most  munificently  the  money  he  has 
received,  not  in  i>cirsonal  aggrandisements,  or  that  of  his  family,  but  in 
adorning  and  beautifying  Rome,  and  the  towns  in  his  tciritory,  and  the 
splendid  riaduct  which  bridges  the  defile  between  I^irsicia  and  AJbano 
is  3  worthy  monument  of  his  generosity.  Unlike  most  pontiffs,  he  has 
scrupulously  avoided  enriching  his  relations — his  only  sister  Uvcs  in  ob- 
scurity, almost  poverty,  near  Ancona,  and  when  his  brother's  daughter 
was  married,  a  few  years  ago,  he  gave  her  a  dowry  from  his  private 
fortune.  It  is  CT-en  said  th.n  the  Peter's  pence  subscribed  for  him  during 
his  exile  at  Gacta  w.^s  expended  in  the  beautifj-ing  of  his  city  on  his 
return  ....  All  during  the  times  of  trouble,  I  never  knew  fius  IX. 
blamed  or  evil  spoken  of  :  his  charity  -inil  kindness,  his  innate  liberality 
of  heart,  were  always  mentioned  as  his  own  ;  those  acts  which  irritated 
the  people  almost  beyond  endurance,  were  always  put  down  to  the 
account  of  'evil  advisers  around  him."  " 

The  truly  liberal  and  large  hearted  %-tews  which  make  themselves 
visible  throughout  iJie  book  are  such  as  will  commend  "  From  Rome  to 
Mcnlana  "  to  all  but  bigots  oi  extreme  oiiinions  on  either  side  ;  aud  we 
feel  that  we  cannot  do  better  than  close  this  brief  notice  with  the  writer's 
concluding  remark,  which  will  give  a  due  to  the  general  scope  and 
tendency  of  her  work : — '"  I  earnestly  wish  that  the  cjucsitoa  of  Jioma 
Jvr  Jfa/ia  were  settled,  and  the  nation  at  peace  ;  but  this  seems  far  off : 
darkness  and  uncertamty  veil  the  future  fate  of  the  Eternal  City.  What- 
ever it  may  be,  I  would  express  a  hope  that  the  closing  years  of  Pius  IX., 
at  all  events,  may  he  passed  in  peace.  They  can  be  but  few ;  and  then 
his  successor  in  the  chair  of  St.  Peter  will  lake  his  place  upon  it  fully 
preparctl  for  what,  sooner  or  Liter,  I  hcUcvc  to  be  inevitable— the  fall  of 
the  Temporal  Power,  which  Pio  Nono  is  pledged  to  retain  intact ;  and 
Italy  then  may  have  stnigglc<l  through  her  financial  difficulties,  and  be 
in  a  belter  position  to  make  Rome  her  capital  Till  then  all  must  be 
unsettled."

Dffbyshire. — Towards  ihc  close  of  1866,  the  boys  of  Rei>ton  School 
oicre  amusine  ihemselves  in  levelling  5omc  uneven  grass  land  within  ihc 
Old  Abbey  Wall  IVcsently  they  came  upon  lumps  or  patches  of  a^ 
stiff  red  clay,  foreign  to  the  site;  then  ihcy  found  numerous  perfect  lile 
commonly  known  as  "encaustic  tiles,"  and  uhimatcly  some  bric-kwc 
so  covered  and  choked  up  with  rUy  and  broken  li)eii,  that  it  proved  no 
easy  task  to  dear  iL  The  young  excavators,  however,  were  excited  by 
the  novelty  and  peculiarity  of  Ihc  structure,  and  ihey  soon  di'vulged  its 
ical  chai^cter  and  object     It  had  been  a  kila  for  the  burning  of 


^ 


tiles,  such  as  they  had  found  so  m.iny  specimens  ot     li  preset 
when  ttript  of  its  incumbrances,  an  appearance  as  shown  in  the 
engraving,  for  which  we  are  indebied  10  Mr.  Llewcllynn  Jewitt,  who  lu«' 
ju^t  U!;cd  it  in  ilIustr.ition  of  a  vct)-  lucid  and  interesting  account  of  this 
(iiid  other  lilc  kilns  prcviou.sIy  discovered  in  his  quarterly  arch.'cologica] 
journal  and  review,  7'ke  Jic/iquarj: 

The  kiln  may  be  dc-scribed  as  ccmiwsed  of  two  small  chambfis,  each 
of  six  arches  rising  from  the  side  walls,  and  spanning  the  cliamhers. 
'Jlie  arches  are  of  plain  and  «quare  tiles,  the  spaces  between  them  being 
of  the  same  width  as  tl-e  arches  thcinselvcB.  'ITie  side  walls  rise 
little  above  the  sjinng  of  the  arches,  which  arc  turned  inward  on  hei 
gonal  liles^  made  appaTenily  for  tVe  purpose. 

By  means  of  coloured  plates.  Mr.  jtwilt  shows  us  what  encaus 
'pavirg  tiles  were  manufactured  at  K<plon  in  the  14th  ecntary.     Th4 
are  ot  gical  variety  of  paltcm,  and  generally  of  extreme  clcgarKe  and 
beauty;  and  when  grouped  together  so  as  to  form  a  complete  com[ 
lion  for  a  room,  or  |>oition  of  a  rccm,  produce  an  effect  most  striki

\2t 


itcd  pavement^  as  tlic  elaborated  and  florid  medixval  .ircliiteclurc 
does  to  the  more  .solid  and  chaste  classical.  The  beautiful  tiles  from 
Bakewell  Chtirch,  and  some  at  least  of  the  fine  pavement  found  a  few 
years  ago  at  Kegiv'ortli,  ii  is  now  proved  were  made  at  Repton.  Mr. 
jcwiK  thus  describes  one  of  the  patterns: — "In  the  centre  compartment 
IS  a  flower  of  eight  petals,  with  spandrils  in  the  angles  of  the  squares.  In 
One  of  the  corner  coni|>aTlmcnts  is  a  shield,  placed  diagonally,  bearing 
the  arms  of  De  Warrenc ;  and  in  the  opposite  one  another  sltield, 
similarly  placed,  bearing  the  arms  of  Dcrkeley ;  while  in  the  others,  are 
respectively  a  douMc  fieur-de-^is  in  an  engrailed  border,  a  cross  iozengy 
between  four  pciiats,  a  rabbit,  a  martlet,  and  two  nondescript  anireialh." 
A  fragment  found  in  the  kiln  bears  the  arms  of  De  Spencer  in  a 
shield  placed  diagonally.  By  the  means  of  tiles  from  the  same  mould, 
found  at  I'hungarton  Priory,  Nottinghamshire,  Mr.  Jewilt  restores  the 
pattern  entire ;  and  from  this  and  similar  resemblances,  he  con- 
cludes that  the  monks  of  Kepton  supplied  the  tiles  to  the  Priory  of 
Thungarton. 

Mr.  Jewitt  renders  the  Repton  discovery  of  practical  utility  liy  hLs 
reviews  of  similar  kilns  excavated  in  Worcestershire  and  In  Ix)ndon  ; 
and  of  their  jiroducis,  which,  clearly  as  his  descriptions  arc  penned, 
would  l>e  com[>arat)vely  unintdligible  without  tlie  engravings,  which  are 
so  efleciive  as  to  leave  nolliing  to  l>c  desired.  Architects  and  miLsons 
now  need  not  be  ai  a  loss  fur  examples  of  the  finest  kinds  for  the  deco- 
ration of  churches  and  other  public  buildings,  and  corridors  and  other 
parts  of  private  dwellings ;'  and  as  the  manufacture  of  paving  tiles  is  one 
of  the  valuable,  old  industrial  arts,  which,  by  the  aid  of  archxology, 
has  been  revive<i  to  add  to  the  luxury  a»d  comfort  of  modern  life — a 
knowledge  of  the  proprieties  and  fitnes*cs  of  the  designs  and  prin- 
ciples which  regulated  tiie  processes,  and  their  application  in  former 
times,  is  most  desirable.  The  art  evideiilly  was  founded  u[>on  that  of 
mo&aic  or  tesselated  pavemcnti,  which  was  well  understood  and  prac- 
tised by  the  ecclesiastics  for  centuries  afier  it  ce.iscd  to  be  generally 
applied  under  the  Roman  empire,  as  the  cathedrals  and  churches  of 
France  and  Italy  sufficiently  prove :  that  of  St.  Bertin,  at  St.  Omer, 
dates  at  the  beginning  of  the  isth  century.  Tiic  m^Y/tii/ paving  tiles,  of 
which  Mr.  Jewitt  gives  a  plate  of  examples,  are  probably  somewhat 
anterior  in  date.  On  the  Continent,  incised  fiag-sloncs  are  occasionally 
found  ;  in  the  cathedral  of  St.  Omer  are  some  fine  examples  of  the 
13th  century. 

y0rksh^re.~^'i^x.  H.  Ecroyd  Smitli,  who,  in  addition  to  his  "  Reliqux 
Isurianfe,"  or  the  "  Remains  of  Isurium,"  now  Aldborough,  published  a 
series  oi  Roman  Tesselated  Pavements  separately,  has  just  produced 
an  additional  example,  discovered  also,  but  more  recently,  at  Aldborough. 
Viewed  artistically,  ii  is  far  inferior  to  any  one  of  tlie  fine,  and,  now  and 
then,  splendid  pavements  engraved  in  the  above  work ;  but  it  is  curious 
and  interesting  for  the  subject,  rudely  treated  as  it  is.  This  is  no  less 
than  the  li^endarj-  nurture  of  the  founders  of  Rome.     In  a  square  com-

Remus,  face  to  face,  kneeling  and  joining  hands.  It  would  be  difficult 
to  point  to  any  ancient  mosaic  work  so  inartistically  designed  as  this; 
it  is  not  at  all  in  keeping  with  the  elegant  works  of  the  same  kind  dis- 
covered at  Aldborough,  or  elsewhere,  and  is  probably  of  a  very  late 
period.  All  who  possess  Mr,  Ecroyd  Smith's  x'sluablc  volume  of  the 
Aldborough  Roman  remains,  should  add  to  it  the  engraving  of  this 
quaint  composition. 


NartkumbeHaHd. — Mr.  Clayton's  researches  on  the  site  of  Cilumum 
on  the  great  Roman  Wall,  continue  to  add  lo  our  knowledge  of  the  t 
struction  of  the  fortresses  along  this  wonderful  barrier;  and  to 
history  and  mylholoKy  of  the  peoples  who  garrisoned  it  The  lai 
disci>very  has  been  a  small  altar,  inscribed  dibvs  veteribvs.  Three 
aitajs,  at  least,  similar  iu  size  and  in  inscriptions,  have  previously  been 
found  at  otlier  stations  along  the  line  of  the  wall.  Hcretofoie  they  have 
not  unfrcquently  been  confounded  with  another  series  inscribed  deo 
vm  K^Ri,  or  DEO  viTiRi,  of  which  examples  have  also  been  found  in  Cum- 
berland and  Durham ;  but  it  would  seem  they  must  be  received  as 
entirely  distinct  In  Vctcris  or  Vitiris  there  certainly  appears  a  connec- 
tion with  Vithris  or  Odin  ;  and  the  word  seems  unkno^vn  in  inscripiioiw 
of  the  south  of  Europe.  As  regards  the  recently  found  altar,  and  others 
so  insrnl>cd,  Mr.  Clayton,  in  communicating  the  discovery  to  the 
Sof-icty  of  Antiquaries  of  Ncwcastle-upon-Tj-nc,  thus  obsen-es  :  "  Thei 
is  abundance  of  evidence  that  the  Roman  garrisons  of  Magna,  .^si 
■rid  Cilumum,  sacrificed  lo  the  British  gods  Cocidius,  Belatucadcr,  an. 
'  Viteris,  and  to  the  Persian  god  Mithras;  and  the  su^estion  thai  the 
Roman  soldier,  weary  of  foreign  novelties,  re^'crted  to  the  gods  of  his 
own  country,  and  addressed  them  as  his  'ancient  gods,"  may  pcrhapt 
be  accepted  as  an  explanation  of  the  object  of  these  altars." 

Sir  Walter  Blackett  has  discovered  a  lai^e  Roman  allar  at  Halloo 
Castle,  near  Matfen.  The  inscription  has  not  yet  been  given,  (unher 
than  the  first  word,  nv.minibvs. 

Lord  Ravcnsworth,  in  reference  to  the  memoir  he  wrote  a  few  years 
since  on  the  richly -dec  orated  silver-plate  found  at  Corbriilgc,  commonly 
called  the  Corbridge  Lanx,  observes  that :  "  He  then  sLirted  a  novel  point;

had  been  represented  by  different  commentators  in  different  guises  might 
be  l^ton.i,  the  mother  of  Airallo  and  Diana,  the  two  prominent  figures  in

opinion  which  he  had  ventured  to  set  forth — that  the  figure  \\\\k\\  had

SCOTLAND. 

The  Society  of  Antiquaries  of  Scotland  has  recently  received  and 
discussed  the  following  communications: — 

I. — On  the  i-larly  Hislor>-  of  the  Priory  of  Rcstcnnet  (including  a 
letter  on  the  subject  by  the  Bisliop  of  Brechin^,  by  Mr.  John  Stuart, 
Sccrctar)-. 

The  most  interesting  feature  is  the  tower,  which  the  Bishop  considers 
to  be  of  the  pcrio<^I  of  St.  Rule's  Tower  at  St.  .'\nda-\v's,  wnh  some 
features  of  rudeness  identical  with  those  found  in  the  ;idmiltcdly  Saxon 
lower  of  St.  Michael's  at  Oxford.  In  this  tower  at  Rcstcnnet,  the 
Bishop  noiicctl,  for  the  first  time,  a  rude  arch  of  a  different  material 
from  the  rc^^t  of  the  fabric,  and  so  mxssive  and  rude  in  its  coiislruclion, 
thai  it  must  have  belonged  to  an  earlier  church.  It  appeared  that  Ibis 
doorway  ha<l  been  inil>c<ided  in  the  ma-sonry  of  the  tower  from  the  be- 
ginning, and  built  up  so  that  it  never  had  been  used  as  an  actual 
entmuce  since  the  erection  of  the  tower, 

Mr.  Stu.irt  was  inclined  to  believe  that  the  doorway  and  arch  de* 
8crilje<!  by  the  bishop  had  also  formed  part  of  an  early  tower,  and  that 
it  had  been  built  into  the  enlarged  lower  of  the  iiih  ccnturj-,  proljably 
under  the  innuence  of  David  I.,  or  Uts  fatlicr,  Malcolm,  by  both  of 
whom  charters  were  granted  to  the  priory,  and  who  were  both  church 
builders  and  restorers. 

The  historical  notices  showed  that  the  setllement  of  ihc  Pictish 
princes  had  been  continued  by  their  successors,  several  of  whose  tha- 
nagcs,  or  demc^c  lands,  were  in  the  neigiibourliood.  Ilie  many  gnint<i 
which  they  conferred  on  the  priory  from  these,  and  some  of  them  of  a.i 
exceptional  character,  concur,  with  otber  drcumsianccs,  in  attesting  its 
early  importance,  as  if  it  inherited  an  unusual  devotional  regard. 

Taltii^  all  the  circumstances  into  account,  Mr.  Stuart  was  led  to  believe 
tliat  in  the  rude  arch  imbedded  in  the  i  tth  ccnttiry  tower  there  was  pre- 
served a  fragment  ofthe  8th  ccntur>' church,  built  for  King  Nechtanbythe 
workmen  sent  from  Jarrow,  if,  indeed,  we  arc  not  to  recognise  these 
workmen  in  Bonifacius  and  his  companions.  In  this  case,  it  must  be 
considered  the  earliest  ecclesiastical  fragment  now  left  to  us ;  for  while 
in  various  features  it  greatly  resembles  the  doonvays  of  many  of  the 
round  lowers  and  earlj'  churches  of  Ireland  described  by  Dr.  Vctric, 
which  might  be  of  an  almost  contemporary  period,  and  white  in  the 
round  towers  of  Brechin  and  Abemcthy  the  arches  of  the  doorways 
were  cut  out  of  solid  stone  as  at  Rcstennet,  yet  it  was  witli  a  skill  and 
finish  which  marked  them  as  of  a  later  date.

111. — Captain  Courtney,  who  for  some  yean  has  been  occupied  on 
the  Ordnance  Surviry  oi"  the  north-east  of  Scotland,  bx*  became 
acquainted  with  the  details  or  the  Roman  camp  at  Pctcrcultcr,  on  the 
Dee,  and  of  that  at  Gleninailen,  on  the  Vthan.  The  dtslance  between 
these  is  about  double  of  the  Roman  march  of  one  day,  but  till  recently 
DO  intervening  ramp  could  be  foutxJ.  The  various  sleits  of  inquiry-  and 
probing  which  Ca|>tain  Courtney  instituted  have  led  to  the  disoo^■ery 
of  such  vcsdges  at  K.intore  as  enabled  him  to  identify  certain  works 
there  as  part  of  a  camp  of  the  saine  size  and  diameter  as  the  other  two. 
At  various  times  heads  of  5|)cars  and  a  battle-axe  have  been  found 
within  the  camp  ;  and  on  an  adjoining  moor  are  Kruups  of  hut  circles  and 
catms,  in  some  of  which  weapons  and  a  necklace  of  jet  have  been 
found. 

The  excavations  made  by  the  Sodety  on  the  site  of  the  destroyed 
structure  called  Arthur's  Oon,  or  Oven — a  presumed  Roman  building — 
have  not  as  yet  led  to  any  very  satisfactory  result ;  but  ibey  axe  to  be 
resumed  shortly,  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  John  Stuatt.

10  OC         I 


Three  pfaMbau  establislmients  have  been  recently  discovered  in  the 
Lake  of  Ziirich,  and  dose  to  that  town.  They  were  brought  to  light  owing 
to  the  removal  of  what  appeared  to  be  a  slioal.  Unfonunatdy  the  steam 
dredging  machine  had  removed  the  bhoal  and  cast  ttie  dehris  into  deep 
water  before  Dr.  Kdler's  attcnlton  to  tlic  circumstance  was  aroused. 
Some  piles,  stone  axes,  and  implements  of  bone  and  horn  alone  remained 
to  testify  the  prc^xistencc  of  a  p/afilbau,  or  lakc-tl welling.  The  con- 
structions of  tvk'o  similar  works  arc  lud:ily  Intact,  and  wiD  probably 
furnish  a  L-irge  amount  of  remains  of  ancient  civilisation. 

The  Society  of  .'inti<iuarics  of  Zurich,  with  but  small  means  at  commaBd. 
accomplishes,  under  the  cnei^ctic  direction  of  Dr.  Keller,  an  amoou 
of  useful  work  which  should  shame  many  ridier,  but,  in  comparison, 
indolent  societies.  At  the  present  moment  they  .ire  engaged  in  the 
publication  of  n  work  on  the  famous  windows  of  the  Abbey  of  Kdtiigs- 
feldcn,  in  the  canton  of  Aargau.with  richly^oloured  illustrations.  These 
windows,  besides  their  historic  interest,  are  admirable  qiedniens  of  the 
glass  of  the  i4ih  century.  The  abbey  was  founded  by  Elizabeth,  widow 
of  the  Emperor  Albert,  who  was  murdered  in  1308  by  his  own  nephew, 
on  the  banks  uf  the  Rcuss,  dose  to  Iiis  family  domain,  I-labsbui;g.  Upon 
this  si>ot  liis  widow  and  her  daughter  Agnes,  Queen  of  Hungary,  erected 
the  abbey,  in  131 1,  and  it  wus  consecrated  in  1330. 

At  present  the  whole  of  Ihc  abbatial  buildings  are  in  a  sad  state  of 
dilapidiiiion.  'Ihc  church  is  used  as  a  warehouse  ;  and  the  choir,  where 
are  the  |>ainted  windows,  alone  remains  for  divine  worship.  'Ihe

3  inches,  by  6  feet  6  inches).  They  represent  the  histories  of  the  lives 
of  St.  Anna,  St.  Clara,  St  Catharine,  St-  Francis,  &c.  That  of  St. 
Francis  is  remarkably  rich,  and  the  luslory  it  conveys  is  curious.  In 
ihc  first  scene  we  see  St.  Francis  escaping  from  his  lather  to  the  Bishop 
of  Assisi.  In  the  second  he  is  before  Pope  Innocent  III.,  who  confinns 
the  rules  of  the  Order.  In  the  third  we  find  him  preaching  to  the 
birds.  His  sermon  commencing,  "  Fratres  mci  volucres,"  is  presen.-cd 
in  the  "Acta  Sanctorum,"  4  Oct.,  p.  dii.  He  next  appears  on  the 
mountain,  La  Vcmia,  where  he  has  amarvcllous  vision,  and  receives  the 
stigmata.  The  l.ist  scene  r[;prcsetits  St.  Francis  lying  dead,  attended  by 
monks,  his  soul  tisccnding  to  heaven  in  the  mi<!dle  of  a  star. 

The  subject  will  be  found  fully  detailed  in  a  very  interesting  commu- 
nication by  Mr.  Wylic,  in  the  "  Proceedings  of  the  Society  of  .\ntiquaric3 
of  I..ondon  "  (New  Series),  vol.  i.,  p.  278 ;  ami  vol.  ii.,  p.  86.  Tlie  work 
ngw  publishing  by  the  ZiJrich  Society  will  be  most  acceptable  to  the 
student  of  glass  painting.  Il  will  be  completed  in  seven  or  eight  parts, 
costing  five  or  six  francs  each.

ing a  hundred ;  the  96th  nit-mlicr  of  the  group  was  discovered  (on 
Feb.  17)  by  M.  Coggi.i,  at  the  Marseilles  observatory,  a  branch,  or  as  it 
is  termed  in  France  a  sue^unaU,  of  that  at  Paris.  Some  dissatisfaction 
has  been  caused  by  M.  I-c  Vcrricrs  persistence  in  attributing  the  dis- 
coveries made  at  this  place  to  the  head  of  the  establishment,  M.  St(?phan, 
instead  of  to  the  ntsiiUnt  actually  making  them.  This  planet  was  (irst 
announced  as  M.  StL^phan's;  but  a  member  of  the  Academy  demanded 
that  as  M.  Coggia  was  the  real  discoverer,  it  should  be  cited  .is  his  in 
thc"Comptc»  Rcmlus."  The  gjtii  planet  was  discovered  also  from 
Marseilles,  but  at  the  private  observatory  of  M.  'i'empcl. — 'ITie  orbit  of 
the  remarkable  double  star  70  Ophiuchi  has  been  made  llie  subject  of  a 
thorough  investigation  by  Dr.  Sthur,  a  German  calculator.  It  follows 
from  this  research  that  the  two  stars  revolve  about  each  other,  or  ratlicr 
about  diuir  common  centre  of  gnivity,  in  g+  ycirs,  and  that  the  distance 
between  them  is  thirty  times  thai  of  tlie  earth  from  the  sun.  The  mass 
of  the  larger  star,  which  is  of  the  4th  magnitude,  Hert  Schur  finds  to  be 
rather  more  than  thrice  that  of  the  sun:  so  thai  for  once  we  have  on 
estimation  of  the  actual  size  of  a  star. — It  has  usually  been  supposed 
that  the  red  flames  or  prominences  which  make  their  appearance  during

1867,  which  was  obsen'ed  in  Dahnatia  by  himself  and  two  officers 
of  the  Austrian  navy,  wherein  he  states  that  a  remarkable  red  pro-

Plutonic  or  Ncptunic  theories,  but  considered  that  a  combination  of 
these  rival  schools  best  suited  tlic  requirements  of  modem  tcseatdi ;  he 
was  satisfied  tlut  many  of  the  6o<:alJed  granites  and  gneisses  are  really 
sediracntary  products  of  the  Urc.iking  up  of  true  igneous  roclis,  stratified 
by  aqueous  agency,  and  subsequcntiy  re-consolidated.  He  considered 
that  electricity,  light,  and  mcclianical  pressure  had  a  share  of  the  work 
of  laying  the  foundations  of  the  globe.  From  the  general  uniformity  of 
composition  and  chantcter  of  the  volcanic  products  thiow'n  up  in  widely 
distant  pirts  of  the  world,  he  argued  that  there  must  exist  a  reserv'oir  o( 
reservoirs  of  fluid  igneous  matter  in  the  interior  of  the  eartli,  and  tha|l 
volcanic  eruptions  have,  through  these  or  otherwise,  some  Intimate  con-

ricnccd.  The  summer,  .is  in  Queensland,  was  intensely  wann.  -Several 
different  native  tribes  were  found  along  its  banks,  varying  from  people 
resembling  Esquimaux  on  the  coa^it,  to  others  comparable  to  Indians  in 
the  interior.' — The  earliest  fruits  of  the  .\byssinian  Kxpedition  were 
olTered  to  the  Geographical  Society  on  I-'eb.  34,  in  the  shape  of  two 
papers  from  Mr.  Cleitieuts  Markham,  the  geographer  of  tlic  expe<litiun. 
Commencing  with  a  description  of  the  shores  of  Aunetiley  Bay, 
Mr.  Markliain  st.iied  that  the  ancient  Greek  city  of  Adulis,  the  empo- 
rium uf  Greek  trade  in  ttie  time  of  the  Ptoleiuies,  fornicriy  stood  close 
to  the  shore  \  but  the  ruins  were  now  at  a  distance  of  four  miles.  On  a 
few  mgunds,  concealed  by  salicomia  bushes,  there  have  been  found 
bmken  pieces  of  Huted  columns,  capitals,  and  other  fragmenLs.  Rut  a 
great  wealth  of  antiquarian  treasures  may  be  conccaletl  undcT  the 
mounds;. and  Dr.  Lumsdaine,  after  making  a  very  slight  cxai%*ation, 
found  the  bronze  balance  and  chain  of  a  pair  of  scilcs,  an  appropriate 
first  discovery  in  the  ruins  of  a  great  commercial  city.  At  the  head  of 
Anncslcy  Bay  an  extinct  volcano  was  observed,  with  a  double  crater 
100  feet  deep,  and  300  feet  across  ;  and  scona  and  pumice  were  seen 
scattered  over  the  plain.  Beyond  Arafali  extends  a  plain,  where  ostriches 
and  antelopes  were  met  with.  Tmvclling  southwards,  the  river  Ragolay 
was  rciiched,  49  miles  distant  from  the  sea ;  and  the  northern  limit  of 
the  great  salt  plain,  east  of  tlie  .•Vityssinian  highlands,  was  tracctL  It 
was  discovered  that  the  eastern  drainage  of  the  whole  of  the  Ahyssinian 
plateau  from  Senafe  to  Alsbi,  which  are  70  miles  apart,  consisted  of 
Uibuttrics  of  the  Ragolay.  At  the  point  reached  the  river  was  a  peren- 
nial running  stream,  m  spite  of  thirsty  sand  and  scorching  sun,  After 
wards,  in  flowing  towards  the  sea,  it  descends  into  a  depretision  lyj  feet 
below  llic  sca-levcl.  which  was  probably  caused  by  some  volcanic  action.

until  peaked  mountains  towering  up  behind  them,  and  the  vegcUlxMi

natural  fcaliircs  of  the  neighbourhood  of  Senaf?,  one  of  Uie  oiost  reoiari- 
able  of  which  was  the  character  of  the  vegeation  on  the  mouotato 
slopes ;  the  i)l3nis  and  trees  forming  zones  of  different  character  in 
ascending  from  the  plains  to  the  summits.  The  temperate _/ftTm  extends 
over  a  zone  r^ooo  to  6,000  feet  of  altitude,  the  subuopical  from  6,000 
to  3,000,  and  the  dry  tropical  coast  vegeiaiion  from  3,000  feet  to  the 
sc.1.  In  the  course  of  an  animated  discussion  which  followed  the  read- 
ing of  these  papers.  Sir  Stafford  Kortlu-ote  discbimed  any  agreemeot 
with  the  opinion  that  had  been  expressed  with  r^ard  to  ttie  subject  of 
annexation.  The  Covcrnment  wxtc  resolved  10  adhere  to  the  policy  of 
withdrawing  entirely  the  British  forces  as  soon  as  the  objects  of  the 
expedition  were  attained. — At  a  subve<|uent  mecling  oJ"  this  Society,  Mr, 
Waddington  communicated  the  description  of  a  route  he  had  projected 
from  the  Pacific  across  the  Rocky  Mountains.  The  road  he  proposed  ran 
north-castwardly  across  the  pl;un,  and  struck  the  Upper  Frazer,  opposite 
the  mouth  of  the  Quesnelle  river  ;  the  Fra/er  Is  here  a  navigable  stream, 
and  atTords  a  route  to  the  Ycllowhcad  Pass  of  the  Rocky  Mounuins, 
which  leads  lo  the  rich  Ic*el  country  on  the  eastern  side  of  the  range, 
extending  towards  the  Red  River  Settlement  The  Vcllowhcad  Px^^, 
according  to  Dr.  Rae,  is  3,760  fwt  above  the  sea-level,  the  cenUaJ  plain 
is  3,500  feet  in  its  southern  part,  and  the  Bute  Inlet  trail  runs  across  tt 
between  51*'  and  53"  n.  lat. ;  the  pasture  is  excellent,  and  the  cereals 
(including  wheat)  can  be  grown.  Mr.  Waddingion  stated  that  the 
Canadian  (lOvernmenC  had  already  begun  to  construct  the  eastern  end 
of  the  overland  tvaggon-road  between  l^ake  Superior  and  Red  River,  but 
that  no  arrangement  had  yet  been  entered  into  with  repani  10  the  other 
sections;  and  he  urged  the  imjiortance  of  the  undertaking  on  poh'tical 
I  and  commercial  grounds. — l)r.  Hyde  Clarke  read  a  p,iper  to  the  Ktlino- 
[ logical  Society  on  Feb.  ^5,  on  the  Varini  of  Tacitus,  in  which  the  chief 
tpoints  sought  to  be  esi.ibliiJied  were,  the  true  place  of  the  Varini  in 
'liistory,  the  formation  by  ihein  of  the  Russian  empire,  and  the  nature 
of  the  Varangian  guard  of  ilie  Byzanrine  Emperors. —The  brain- weights 
of  various  nations  and  peoples  were  given  to  the  Royal  Society  by  Or. 
Davis  at  a  recent  sitting.  The  result  of  his  measures  gave  an  average 
among  Knglishmen  of  47i  ounces  ;  a  like  weight  answering  for  luhaos. 
Lapps,  Swedes,  Dutch,  and   Frisians.     The  French  average  was  45I

PAo/agrafiAy. — Tvio  or  tlircc  interesting  collections  of  photographs 
are  now  exhibiting  in  London.  First  in  importance  is  a  valuable  series 
of  reproductions  of  the  drawings  of  ok!  masters  preserved  in  the  louvre, 
and  in  the  galleries  of  Vienna,  Florence,  and  other  continental  cities. 
These  have  been  copied  by  Mr.  Braun.  and  primed  by  Swan's  carbon 
process  in  absolute  fac -simile  of  the  originals ;  they  are  on  vietv  at  Col- 
naghi's,  in  Pall  Mall,  and  at  Leggatt's,  in  Comhill.  Then  at  the 
Gemun  Gallery  in  Bond  Street,  Mrs.  Cameron  shows  3  very  extensive 
series  of  her  portraits  and  studies.  The  portraits  are  fn  themsehes  in- 
terestiog,  apa;t  from  the  excellence  of  the  pose  and  boldoeiis  of  tieal- 
ment,  for  Sir  John  Herschel,  Holman  Hunt,  Henry  Taylor,  Alfred 
Tennyson,  and  others,  arc  the  siiteri;  in  many  ca^es ;  the  composition 
studies  arc,  tike  all  of  their  class,  stagey  and  unsuggesii^'c.  The  camera 
lias  no  mind  to  create  pictures  ;  it  will  not  make  "  Friar  I>awrence  and 
Juliet"  out  of  an  old  gentleman  and  a  young  lady;  he  the  models 
draped  and  posed  ever  so  artistically  they  a'in;iin  dra])cd  anil  jiosed 
models  still,  and  it  is  folly  to  expect  the  camera  to  convert  them  into 
anything  else.  But  Mrs.  Cameron's  photographs  arc  terribly  marred 
by  bnd  manipulation  ;  they  are  all  more  or  less  fogged,  dirty,  or  badly 
developed,  and  belong  to  a  past  era  of  photography.  Considering 
the  hundreds  of  pictures  she  must  have  produced,  it  is  wonderftil  how 
she  can  be  so  backward  in  the  merely  mechanical  part  of  herart.-- 
Aprepos  of  carbon  prints,  it  is  stated  that  the  art-treasures  of  the 
British  Museum  are  to  be  multiplied  by  Mr.  Swan's  process. — Mr.  Mac- 
Lachlan,  of  Manchester,  has  set  phott^raphcrs  on  the  yu/  r/rr  by  the 
announcement  that  he  has  discovered  the  panacea  for  all  photographic 
ills,  and  that  from  the  date  of  publication  of  his  secret  the  procluction 
of  collodion  pictures  will  be  reduced  to  a  matter  of  certainty.  He  has 
in  confidence  ilescribed  his  process  to  Mr.  Spilicr  and  Mr.  Lc  Neve 
Foster,  and  if  they  report  favourably  upon  the  results  and  accord  to  him 
full  credit  for  the  discovery,  it  will  be  freely  given  to  the  public — Ttie 
American  Patent  Oftice  is  about  to  employ  photography  for  the  repro- 
duction and  renewal  of  ilesigns  of  patented  articles,  which  become 
speedily  soiled  and  torn  by  ihe  handling  to  which  they  are  exposed. — 
The  gold  margins  of  some  cardboanl  mounts  have  been  found  by  MM. 
Davanne  and  Fordos  to  be  a  source  of  deterioration  in  some  prints; 
the  bronze  powder  contains  sulphur,  and  conies  off  upon  the  pictures, 
decomposing  the  silver  surface. — Mr.  VVoodbur>''s  photo-relief  printing 
process,  for  producing  pictures  in  pigments,  has  been  brought  into  wery- 
day  use  by  the  well-known  firm  of  Disdcri  &  Co. 

Uisaltaneout. — The  choice  between  Exeter  and  Plymouth  o-s  a  locality 
for  next  year's  meeting  of  the  British  Association  havinj^  been  referred 
to  three  arbitrators,  two  of  them  (in  the  absence  of  the  third)  have 
decidetl  to  recommend  the  former  town. — One  volume  of  the  great 
•*  Catalogue  of  Scientific  Pa[>ers,"  that  has  been  for  years  preparing  by 
the  Royal  .Society,  is  at  length  published,  and  good  progress  is  being

CHAPTER  LVI. 
THE    PRISON    MICE. 

|ITH  the  exception  or  this  one  letter  from  her  father,  the 
silence  was  unbroken.  No  news  ever  reached  her  from 
without.  Ill-guarded  as  the  prisons  werc^  it  was  ex- 
tremely difficult  to  get  news  into  thcni.  News  did  get 
iiico  the  Abbaye,  or  rather  rumour,  with  regard  to  which  St.  Meard 
told  her  that  he  hardly  believed  one  word. 

He  was  her  cuttstanc  friend  and  compimion ;  he  went  about  for 
her  like  a  dog ;  he  talked  with  her  about  Andre  Dcsillcs,  Louis  de 
Valogncs,  and  all  the  old  times,  till  he  really  made  her  happy.  She 
told  him  the  state  of  al7^a.irs  between  Sir  Lionel  Somcrs  and  hcisclf, 
and  he  comforted  her  about  him,  laughing  her  fears  to  scum.  He 
had  only  been  arrested  for  his  papers,  and  would  be  in  Paris  imme- 
diately. She  also  was  as  good  as  a  naturalised  Itritish  subject,  and 
Sir  Lionel  would  no  doubt  demand,  in  case  of  emergency,  her  re- 
lease from  the  British  Ambassador.  There  was  really  nothing  to 
trouble  oneself  about. 

It  was  a  pity  he  fell  in  love  with  her.  But  he  did,  like  the  others. 
Mathildc  said  that,  in  case  of  any  disagreement,  she  should  appeal  to 
her  old  friend,  M.  Marat ;  and  remained  tranquil. 

As  for  her,  she  made  a  world — a  very  HtUe  one,  certainly — where-

ever  she  went  [  and  she  made  a  little  world  now.  Her  world  con- 
sisted of  the  two  sisters  who  lived  with  her,  and  who  suited  hci 
utieHy.  The  elder  sister,  she  said,  was  herself,  but  more  beautiful 
and  more  courageous :  the  younger  sister  was  Adeic,  but  even  more 
beautiful  and  very  much  more  helpless.  She  tald  all  thn  to  Jour- 
niac  de  St.  MeaTd>  who  understood  her  ;  and  a]so>  in  her  odd  way, 
to  William,  who  understood  her  also. 

The  elder  sister  implored  her  not  to  let  the  younger  one  know  of 
the  ruin  which  had  befallen  their  housci  and  Mathlldr  only  said, — 

'■*■  My  love,  I  roust  judge  for  myself— people  do  not  die  of  ill 
news." 

But  the  younger  sister  got  in  her  fits  of  /jwnu/,  lirom  laying  her 
bright  head  on  her  si!.tcr's  lap,  to  lay  it  on  Matbildc's ;  and  she 
said  once,  in  the  time  which  passed^ — 

*^  I  am  tnnujit^  thou  crooked  old,  who  hobblest  in  thy  walk,  and 
hast  the  face  of  an  angel.  Tell  me  a  tale.  My  squirrel  is  dead 
in  his  cage,  my  bird  is  dead  on  his  perch,  and  our  father  and  mother 
have  forgotten  us  and  left  us  here.  Therefore  tell  mc  a  talc,  thou 
cJd." 

It  was  not  much  in  our  downright  Mathtldc's  line,  but  she  struck 
oif  at  once,  thinking  that  she  saw  her  way  to  good.  I  doubt  tfut 
she  wras  darning  her  own  stockings,  when  she  told  her  first  story  to 
the  glorious  beauty  who  was  lying  in  her  lap. 

Mathildc,  as  a  precise  religionist,  only  could  tell  a  **  bon  Dtcu  '* 
story.  She  did  not  wish  to  begin  in  this  fashion  with  the  girl,  and 
so  she  told  her  the  least  "  bon  DJcu  "  story  she  knew — a  Teutonic 
story,  will  you  find  me  its  equal  f  Such  KogUsh  as  know  it,  call 
it  the  siory  of"  Dick  and  Doll." 

**  Dick  and  Doll  got  on  very  well  until  ihcy  got  married,  but  after 
that  they  quarrelled  so  dreadfully  that  they  agreed  to  part  for  ever ; 
and  so  Dick  went  cast  and  DoLI  went  west,  and  they  were  to  meet 
never  more. 

"  Dick  made  a  tercibic  mess  of  it,  but  Doll  made  a  worse.  Ercry 
misfortune  which  could  happen  to  man,  happened  to  Dick.  As  (br 
Doll,  as  the  weaker  vessel,  she  was  worse  off  than  Dick. 

"  But  the  earth  being  round — if  one  person  walks  cast  and  the 
other  west,  they  will  be  sure  to  meet  So  Dick,  in  the  midday 
midnight  of  the  antipodes,  heard  Doll  blundering  along  among  the 
Haktai^  GrtvilUai  and  Eutaiyptus  dum^ta.

"  '  Is  that  you,  Doll  ? '  he  said. 
**  And  she  said,  *  Is  that  you,  Diet  ?' 

"  And  they  both  agreed  that  they  had  made  fools  of  themselves, 
and  went  quietly  home  together,  to  part  nevermore." 

That  was  Mathildc's  first  story  to  the  golden  head  in  the 
Abbaye. 

"  That  is  a  curious  story,  you  quaint  woman,"  said  golden  hair. 
"  But  I  do  not  believe  it.  I  shall  quarrel  with  him  when  I  am 
married,  but  he  will  never  leave  mc  \  and  if  he  leaves  me,  why, 
instead  of  going  away  from  him,  I  should  run  after  him,  and  kneel 
at  his  feet.  She  was  an  imbecile,  that  Ddl  of  yours.  Suppose 
they  had  missed  one  another  in  the  dailc.  Thou  hast  a  lover  thy- 
self; wouidst  thou  not  follow  hJm  f  " 

So  Mathildc's  first  story  was  utterly  unsucccssfiil  in  bringing  the 
poor  girl  to  a  sense  of  her  position.  She  merely  turned  her  from 
thinitiiig  about  her  squirrel  and  her  canary  to  thinking  about  her 
]ovcr.  Where  he  was,  what  he  was  doing,  whether  her  father  would 
Jet  them  marry  as  soon  as  thcj'  went  home,  and  so  on.  She  was 
more  hopeless  ilian  Adele,  for  Adclc  had  seen  the  black  walls  of  her 
father's  chateau,  and  had  looked  on  the  revolution.  This  poor  child 
had  not. 

It  is  with  no  object  of  theatrical  sentimentality,  that  I  say  here 
that  I  dislike  writing  down  what  follows,  and  am  sorry  that  mors; 
than  fifteen  months  ago  I  committed  myself  to  doing  so,  and  began 
this  story.  It  is  merely  the  plain  truth  ;  as  the  story  itself  is  true. 
It  is  not  I  who  have  made  this  story  j  it  was  told  mc  one  happy- 
holiday  at  St.  Malo. 

Mathilde,  watching  the  face  of  her  good  friend  Journiac  dc  St. 
Meard,  saw  it  grow  more  anxious  day  by  day.  -She  asked  him  at 
last,  *'  Was  there  news  ?  " 

**  There  is  no  news,  but  only  a  steadily  growing  terror  among  the 
best  informed.  There  is  nothing  tangible.  Have  you  really  interest 
with  Marat  ? " 

**  He  would  do  anything  for  mc,"  said  MathUdc.  **  But  do  you 
see,  representing  as  I  do  my  sister  here,  I  cannot  move  in  any  ■vixf. 
And  besides,  I  havc'promiscd  my  father." 

"  But  your  sister  is  two  hundred  miles  away." 

"  On  the  discovery  of  their  mistake  she  would  be  at  once 
arrested.     I^shall  do  nothing  without  orders  from  my  iiithcr."

"He  will  be  puzzIcJ  to  get  his  orders  to  you.  The  wicket  is 
swarming  with  patriots  inside.  There  is  frightful  mischief  abroad  of 
some  kind.     As  for  me,  I  am  a  dead  man." 

"  What  makes  you  think  so  ?  "  asked  Mathildc. 

"Talk  in  English,"  Ke  replied  j  "and,  William,  you  come  here 
and  listen.  You  remember  the  afiair  of  Nonci,  when  our  Andr£ 
Dcsilles  was  shot." 

«  Could  one  forget  ?  "  said  Mathildc. 

"  Who  shot  him  r  " 

«  Who  can  say  ? " 

**  Moi  qui  parlc — I  had  it  from  some  of  my  poor  Chateau  VIeux,' 
— Sergeant  Barbot.  Ha  !  William,  your  eyes  brighten.  You  know 
him,  then.  Ttn  minutes  ago  that  man  was  m  tht  burtau  dnvmtairs. 
He  has  come  after  mc." 

"  But,"  said  Mathildc,  "  you  behaved  so  gently  there.  It  is  quite 
as  likely  that  he  is  come  after  mc,  or  after  William.  He  hates  u& 
both,  I  know." 

William  practically  suggested  that  he  had  come  after  all  three ; 
which  was  probably  the  truth. 

"  But  what  cin  he  do,  sir  ?  " 

**  Nothing  which  I  am  aware  of,"  said  Journiac  de  St.  Meard. 
"  But  it  means  mischief.  My  dear  Madeinoiselie  Machilde,  we 
know  nothing,  and  fear  everything.  For  my  part,  from  all  I  can 
gather,  I  fear  the  very  worst." 

Mathildc  pondered  with  herself  after  this,  as  to  how  she  was  to 
renew  her  effort  to  make  the  pretty  child — the  younger  sister — 
understand  her  situation.  She  thought  she  would  tiy  another  s.tory  i 
and  this  one  was,  as  was  generally  the  case  with  her  efforts,  a  worse 
attempt  than  the  6rst.  She  was  not  the  first  one  who  tried  her 
hand  at  symbolic  fiction  and  faitcd.  Yet  she  did  her  best.  The 
next  time  the  poor  innocent  thing  laid  her  head  in  Mathilde's  lap, 
and  asked  for  a  story,  she  was  ready. 

**  Whenever  the  Bon  Dieu  walks  out  in  his  garden,  which  is 
Paradise,  you  know,  he  gathers  flowers,  in  the  cool  of  the  day ;  and 
he  always  gathers  the  newest ;  for  there  are  hundreds  of  new  flowers. 
blooming  in  his  garden,  every  day,  for  all  eternity. 

"  And  once,  I  do  not  say  whether  in  the  past  or  the  future,  as  the 
Bon  Dieu  walked  in  the  garden  with  Mary,  lo  I  there  were  two  new

lilies  blowing.  One  was  a  golden  martagui,  and  the  other  was  pure 
and  white,  as  are  the  lilies  of  the  blessed  Saint  Joseph. 

'■^  And  Mary  speaking,  said  :  *■  Here  is  one  of  his  true  lilies,  and  I 
will  gather  it  and  put  it  In  my  bosom.* 

"  And  the  Bon  Dicu  said  :  '  And  I  wilt  take  this  golden-headed 
martagan/ 

"  And  Mary  said  to  the  white  lily :  *■  My  child,  thou  art  paler 
thai]  Joseph's  palest  lilies  ;  why  is  it,  then  ? ' 

'^  And  the  lily  said  :  *  Because  my  sister,  the  golden  martagan,  is 
angry  with  me  here  in  Paradise,  thai  1  kept  things  from  her.' 

**  And  the  Bon  Dicu  said  to  the  golden-headed  martagan :  *  My 
child,  thou  art  redder  than  the  passionate  rose,  and  thy  petals  are 
curled  back  as  if  in  anger.  Why  is  this,  my  beautiful  lily  ?  Here 
there  is  only  to  be  peace,  calm,  and  love  for  evermore.' 

*' And  the  golden  martagan  answered  the  Bon  Dieu,  and  she  said  : 
•  I  am  angry  with  my  siMcr  that  she  kept  things  from  me.  The 
people  down  there  have  burnt  our  castle,  have  killed  my  squirrel,  have 
ruined  my  flowers,  have  put  in  prison  my  father  and  mother,  and  she 
kept  it  all  from  mc,  through  her  love  for  mc  and  her  anxiety  to 
spare  me  pain,  until  we  came  here,  where  mourning  is  fuHiidden  fur 
ever,  and  tears  washed  from  all  eyes.  So  I  am  angry  with  my  sister 
that  she  did  not  lee  me  mourn  for  my  mother.' 

**  Then  Mary  beckoned  to  them,  and  they  came  to  a  rose  tree,  on 
which  was  a  white  rose  and  a  red.  And  the  white  lily  and  the 
golden  lily  knew  the  roscs,  and  laughed  with  joy,  for  they  were  their 
lather  and  mother.  And  the  Bon  Dicu  and  Mary  gathered  them 
and  tied  them  with  the  two  lilies,  and  carried  chem,  smiling,  up 
and  up " 

**  Whither  ?  "  said  the  beautiful  girl  on  Mathtlde's  lap. 

**Whithcr?"  said  MathUdc,  after  a  pause.  And  then  after  a 
longer  pause,  she  broke  out  suddenly,  quickly,  and  almost  in- 
coherently, as  she  sometimes,  though  very  seldom,  did  :^ 

**  Martin  !  Lionel  !  Father  !  Adele  !  is  it  to  be  never  more  ? 
Why  do  you  leave  me  here  alone  ?  " 

You  see  that   the  foolish  girl  had  worked  herself  into  a  state 
bordering    on   the    hysterical,  in   pondering   over   the    chances    of 
seeing  those  she  loved  very  deeply,  again,  and  in  telling  this  foolish' 
Story.     As  her  lather  often  told  her,  she  had  a  very  ill-regulated 
mind.     I  think,  myself,  that  she  is  to  be  pitied  more  than  blamed.

She  had,  however,  done  what  she  intended  to  do,  as  was  usual 
with  her ;  but  also,  as  usual,  in  a  somewhat  too  emphatic  way.  The 
poor  beauty's  head  lay  on  her  lap,  very  silent,  and  very  pale. 

"  What  do  you  think  of  that  story,  my  love  ?  "  said  Mathilde. 

"  I  understand  it,"  was  all  the  girl  said. 

The  ^t  and  vulgar  Comtesse  D'Aurilliac  had  her  eye  on  these 
two.     She  left  her  thin  sister  of  the  cloister,  and  sailed  towards  them. 

**  Is  mademoiselle  ill  ?"  she  asked. 

**No,"  said  the  girl,  quietly.     "1  have  only  heard  news." 

•*  From  whence,  then?  And  you,  Madame  La  Marquise,**  to 
M;tchiidc,  **you  made  a  sudden  exclamation  just  now,  and  invoked 
tiamcs.  Is  there  anything  imminent  ?  For  I  have  neglected  my 
religion, — I, — and  would  be  glad  to  be  ready." 

**  The  news  I  have  tuld  is  old  news,  Madame  D'Aurilliac,"  said 
Mathilde.  And  the  Comtesse  D'Aurilliac  waddled  back  to  her 
sister,  and  having  seen  to  her  knitting,  sat  down  again,  with  her 
hands  on  her  fat  stomach,  and  vilipended  the  community. 

But  the  girl  said  not  one  word.  Henceforth  she  was  nearly  dumb» 
but  peifectly  obedient. 

The  elder  sister  stopped  Mathilde  as  they  were  going  to  bed,  and 
said,  **  Have  you  told  her  ?  " 

*'  Yes,  in  a  way.*' 

*'  How  does  she  stand  it  ? " 

"  I  do  not  know  i  she  will  not  speak." 

When  they  were  all  in  bed,  and  the  light  put  out,  the  voice  of  the 
younger  sister  was  heard. 

*' Mathilde,  thou  knowcst.     Arc  our  father  and  mother  dead  ?  " 

"I  think  not,"  said  Mathilde. 

**  But  about  mc,  the  poor,  red  m.irtagan,"  whined  the  girl. 
•'  Mary  may  surely  pluck  mc  as  a  white  lily,  and  not  as  a  red.  For 
I  have  no  anger  towards  my  sister  because  she  in  her  love  kept  from 
mc  the  ruin  of  our  house,  which  thou  hast  told." 

Enough  of  this,  you  say,  and  I  say  "enough**  also.  Yet  jrou 
must  plciise  to  remember  that  I  am  doing  a  task  to  the  best  of  my 
ability.  And  I  think  that  if  you  will,  in  imagination,  surround  your- 
self with  an  entourage  of  pious  and  half-pious  Roman  Catholic 
women,  in  a  time  of  Revolution,  )'ou  will  arrive  very  much  at  the 
above  results.  These  results  may  be  good,  bad,  or  indifferent^ 
according  to  the  reader's  opinion ;  but  I  think  that  they  would  be 
very  much  like  these.

Until  the  end,  the  [i^oor  girl  remained  silent.  She  took  Mathildc's 
foolish  allegory  for  the  truth  ;  and  until  the  time  when  Joumiac  dc 
St.  Meard  went  on  an  errand  oi  inquiry  down  the  stairs  and  found 
that  she  and  her  sister  were  gone,  she  spoke  no  more.  Once  or 
twice  she  talked  about  her  squirrel,  ajid  regretted  his  neglect  j  but 
of  coherent  talk  there  was  none  to  be  got  from  her.  The  wave  of 
the  Revolution  had  burst  over  her  and  stunned  her.  It  was  well 
for  Mathlldc  and  her  sister  that  It  was  so.  They  had  something 
weaker  than  themselves  to  protect. 

William  (he  Silent,  with  his  rat-catching  cunning,  taught  a  little 
mouse,  which  in  its  hunger  he  tamed,  and  gave  to  the  bright-headed 
beauty.  And  it  pleased  her,  and  she  lay  on  the  stone  bench,  with 
her  head  now  on  her  sistcr^s  lap,  now  on  Mathildc's,  playing  with 
her  little  mouse,  until  Paris  was  in  white  hot  wrath,  and  Brunswick 
over  the  frontiers. 


CHAPTER  LVII. 

"  Btn*    DANTON    HE    HAS    SLEPT." 

The  weather  was  as  white,  and  hot,  and  fierce,  as  were  the 
Parisians,  and  (he  smell  which  Mr.  Dickens,  in  his  "Tale  of  Two 
Cities,"  calls  *'  the  smell  of  imprisoned  sleep,"  was  hot  and  heavy. 
Yet  (here  came  no  change.  The  elder  sister  sewed,  and  the  younger 
sister  played  with  her  mouse.  The  Comtesse  D'Aurilliac  sat  and 
glowered  with  her  hands  on  her  stomach,  from  time  to  time  patiently 
taking  up  the  stitches  in  her  sister's  knitting.  The  men  of  the 
imprisoned  party  were  as  polite,  and  the  main  part  of  the  women  as 
frivolous  as  ever;  but  there  was  no  sign  of  a  change. 

Prisoners  behind  narrow-barred  windows  in  a  street,  have  little 
opportunity  for  seeing  the  thunderstorm  which  is  to  crash  into  their 
prison,  and  bunt  their  bonds,  thrust  up  its  cumulus  above  the 
horizon. 

These  poor  people  in  the  Abbayc  did  not  really  i^/irrt/f  that  any- 
thing violent  or  sudden  would  happen.  They  certainly  said  all  day 
that  their  lives  were  in  danger,  and  that  they  would  lay  them  down 
at  any  moment ;  but  few  of  them  actually  believed  it.  I  should 
fancy  (who  can  know?)  that  the  only  man  in  the  Abbayc  why  knew 
the  danger  was  Journiac  de  St.  Meard,  who  had  looked  on  the 
Revolution   and  had  wept  In  his  French  way  over  the  stark  body

560  The  GenlleiftaTis  Magazine.  [May, 

TKcn  came  a  day  as  all  days  come — a  day  which  makes  itself  a 
day  for  a  whole  lifr.  The  boat  goes  down  The  river,  and  a  dripping, 
frightened  man  comes  Kick  and  tells  of  the  disaster.  The  horse  goes 
out,  and  there  comes  back  a  terrified  groom.  The  carriage  gMS 
out,  and  the  footman  comes  back  white  with  horror.  These  supreme 
dap  come  in  the  midst  of  the  most  carefully  tended  luxuhousncss, 
in  accidents,  in  paralytic  strokes,  and  such  matters.  Death  marches 
all,  triumphant,  over  Luxury  at  a)]  times. 

If  In  times  of  perfect  luxury  and  perfect  peace  such  days  come 
on  us  suddenly  and  swiftly,  ruining  or  altering  the  current  of  lives, 
it  is  not  to  be  thought  violent  or  extraordinary  that  such  a  day  should 
come  upon  qui  three  watchers  in  prison  in  a  dme  of  Revolution. 

There  are,  1  think,  few  of  our  readers  who  have  not  seen  such  a 
day:  a  day  when  dcaih  or  extreme  danger  comes  to  the  door,  and 
when  it  is  necessary  not  only  to  think  but  to  act.  The  supreme  day 
came  to  Jouniiac  de  St.  Meard,  to  Mathilde,  and  to  William,  in  this 
manner. 

At  twelve  o'clock  Mathilde  was  sitting  in  the  little  room  which 
she  possessed  with  the  two  sisters,  when  Journiac  dc  St.  Meard,  with 
William  the  Silent,  came  to  the  door  and  called  her  out.  When  she 
went  out  to  them  they  motioned  to  ber  to  shut  the  door  behind  her. 
When  she  looked  on  their  faces  she  saw  danger,  if  not  disaster.  She 
was  used  to  men,  and  she  knew  the  look  which  comes  on  the  face 
of  brave  men  when  there  is  danger  abroad.  They  were  both, 
Frenchman  and  Englishman,  perfectly  calm,  but  very  pale.  St.  Meard 
had  his  hand  on  the  shoulder  of  the  English  groom,  and  was  the 
spokesman. 

*'  Mademoiselle  Malhildc,  there  is  serious  trouble." 

**  I  read  that  in  your  faces.  Can  you  trust  me  with  the  extent 
of  it  ? " 

**  Can  you  trust  yourself  to  our  guidance  ? " 

"  Most  heartily,"  said  Mathildc.  "  I  always  want  guidance,  you 
know." 

"Then  come  with  u»,"  said  St,  Meard.  And  Mathilde  went 
quietly  and  willingly. 

They  took  her  up  a  corridor  to  a  bench  at  the  end ;  and  they  at! 
three  sat  down  in  a  row. 

'*Well,*'  said  Mathilde,"!  am  going  to  be  perfectly  obedient, 
and  perfectly  submissive,  for  1  know  you  two,  and  you  are  good. 
How  much  are  you  going  to  tell  me  ?  "

"  Not  much.  This  much,  however.  There  is  being  made  a 
partition  of  piisoncrs,  and  there  should  be  no  confusion." 

^*  You  mean,  I  see,  that  the  two  sisters  are  to  be  removed ;  and 
that  j-ou  think  that  1  had  better  not  take  leave  of  them." 

**That  is  the  case  exactly,"  said  St.  Mcard.  "Do  not  trouble 
yourself  to  take  leave  of  them.  They  arc  going  to  liberty.  Da  not 
take  leave  of  ihem." 

«*Why?"  said  Mathilde. 

Of  all  the  whys  ever  uttered,  this  must  have  been  one  of  the 
most  difficult  to  answer.     St.  Meard  only  said, — 

**  You  will  meet  them  again  ;  and  your  seeing  them  now  would 
give  rise  to  complications." 

And  Mathilde  said,— 

"  I  am  content,  as  1  always  was.     i  trust  you  two." 

And  after  that  she  sat  on  the  stone  bench  and  talked,  first  only 
eaunriti. 

"I  hope  that  that  foolish  and  fat  old  Comfcsse  D'Aurilliac  will 
be  put  in  the  same  prison  with  her  good  sister.  That  old  woman  of 
the  cloister,  her  sister,  would  die  if  she  were  separated  from  her 
now.  I  hope,  also,  that  they  will  not  separate  my  two  sisters,  for 
they  are  as  necessary  to  one  another  as  are  chose  two  old  women. 
For  me,  with  my  secret  kept,  /  am  safe.  I  hold  but  one  life  in 
my  bands  ;  for  Lionel  will  mourn,  but  will  not  die." 

William  went  away,  and  she  was  left  aUmc,  sitting  wearily  on  the 
stone  bench,  with  Journiac  de  St.  Mcard  walking  up  and  down 
before  her. 

"  St.  Mcard,"  she  said,  boltlly,  **  I  sec  two  things,  very  plainly." 

*'  And  what  arc  those.  Mademoiselle  ?  " 

**  I  sec,  first,"  said  she, "  that  you  admire  me — that  you  love  me  I " 

«  It  is  true." 

"  I  love  you  also.      I    love  you  very  deeply.     But  that  part  of 
a  woman's  heart  which    is  given  to  sentimental  love  will  never  be 
yours.     It  is   given  to   an  Englishman,   Sir  Lionel  Somers,  quite 
L    beyond  recall." 
F        He  bowed  and  said, — 

"  I  always  supposed  this.  I  was  prepared  for  it.  Yet  I  may 
minister  to  you  ?  " 

She  said  only,  "Yes." 
I        "  May  I  ask,"  said  St.  Mcard,  "  what  is  the  second  thing  which 
1   you  have  seen  in  my  face  \  "

"  Death  !  "  she  said.  "  I  have  looked  on  death  more  than  once, 
aiid  I  saw  it  in  your  eyes  when  you  brought  nic  here  to  this  stone 
bench;  I  also  saw  it  in  the  eyes  of  my  poor  old  groom,  William. 
Tell  me,  arc  my  pretty  sisters  killed  ?  " 

Such  a  dreadfully  downright  woman,  diis  Mathilde  of  ours,  forcii 
even  Journiac  to  lie  ;  for  he  said, — 

*'  1  suspect  that  they  have  been  ordered  to  the  Concicrgcrie.'' 

William  came  back,  and  told  her  that  she  could  go  to  her  room 
again  now.  And  she  went  to  her  room ;  but  the  ststers  were  not  chcre. 

And  she  never  saw  them  again — nevermore  !  Theologians,

simple  question, — **  Shall  we  meet  the  loved  ones  in  future  state  \ " 
Answer,  "  We  don't  know."  Why,  Mathildc's  friend,  the  Primi- 
tive Methodist,  Evans,  doubted  on  the  subject ! 


CHAPTER  LVIII. 


ADIEU. 


William  and  Journiac  had  been,  with  a  crowd  of  other  prisortcrt, 
looking  out  of  the  window  at  the  often  described  September  assassi- 
nations :  about  which  wc  will  say  as  little  as  possible.  I  would  not 
have  wished  to  come  to  them,  but  the  St.  Malo  story  brings  roe 
here,  and  I  must  go  on.  These  two  strangely-contrasted  men — the 
dandy  brave  French  soldier  and  the  stolid  English  groom — had  been 
watching  this  horrible  affair  from  the  same  window. 

The  women  had  been  kept  from  that  window ;  but  the  men  had 
crowded  round  it,  and  had  watched  one  fall  after  another.  'I'here 
had  been  a  strange  discussion  among  them  as  to  how  they  should  act 
when  their  turn  came.  It  was  .agreed,  after  the  witnessing  of  many 
examples,  that  the  difKculty  of  dying  was  only  increased  by  trying  to 
defend  your  head,  and  that  the  best  way  was  to  walk  slowly,  and  put 
your  hands  behind  your  back.^

"  You  sec  Barbot,  down  there  ?  "  said  St.  Meard. 

William  saw  him,  and  saw  something  cUc  also.  Saw,  for  instance, 
that  the  assassins,  backed  by  a  very  slight  crowd,  were  mainly  on 
the  right  of  the  door;  and  that  on  the  left  of  the  door  there  were 
comparatively  few  of  them.  He  saw  also  that  a  door  was  in  the 
c^ttrcmc  left  of  the  building,  and  that  from  time  to  time  people 
came  round  the  comer  of  the  building,  under  the  pepper-box 
turret,  and  cither  ran  swiftly  across  the  street,  or  turned  back  with 
shrieks  (perhaps  Dr.  Moore  was  one  of  them).  He  pointed  this 
out  to  St,  Meard,  and  asked  him  if  there  was  a  *'  right  of  way  " 
rourtd  the  comer. 

When  St.  Meard  understood  him  he  answered,  "  Yes.  That  he 
knew  the  place  well.  It  was  the  AU^e  dtt  pat  fifrdui,  and  at  the  end 
were  two  turnings  1  to  the  right  you  found  yourself  in  the  tul-tie-sac 
of  the  AiU'e  d'Enfer^  to  the  left  yyu  went  straight  into  the  Rue  dt  la 
Bsnne  Saial^.^^     Which  William  remembered. 

This  young  man  also  remembered  about  a  certain  rowing  or  scold- 
ing which  he  had  got  from  D'Isigny  one  time.  There  had  been  a 
priie-fight  in  the  Stour  Valley,  and  that  good-for-nothing  old  Mariiuj 
the  poacher,  had  tempted  William  from  his  allegiance  to  go  and  sec 
it.  This  prize-fight  hail  ended  suddenly  and  fatally  by  a  blow  on  the 
jugular  vein;  at  which  D'Isigny  had  rejoiced,  because  it  had  not 
only  enabled  him  to  point  his  moral  against  William  more  veno- 
mously, but  had  enabled  him  to  bully  Mathildc  as  an  open  cncouragcr 
of  assassins,  instancing  old  Martin  and  Marat  as  two  cases  in  point. 
This  prixc-fight  came  into  William's  head  now ;  but  he  said 
nothing. 

After  a  time  they  went  buck  to  Mathilde's  door.  They  knocked, 
and  she  told  them  in  a  ciilm,  clear  voice  to  come  in.  She  had  jusc 
risen  from  her  knees,  and  had  Lady  Somers*  missal  before  her. 

"  My  dear  friends,"  she  s.iid,  *'wlll  they  come  for  me  to-night? 
Do  you  think  I  might  go  to  bed  i  " 

St.  Meard,  seeing  her  noble  and  beautiful  face  set  so  coolly  and  so 
calmly,  took  a  sudden  resolution,  like  a  Frenchman. 

"  Mademoiselle,  no  !  " 

"  May  1  know  what  is  happening  ? " 

"  Mademoiselle,  yes.  They  are  assassinating  the  prisoners.  I 
have  some  dim  hopes  that  I  can  plead  successfully  for  my  life,  in 
consequence  of  my  behaviour  at  Nanci  when  your  cousin,  Andre 
Dcsillcs,  was  killed.     This  young  man,  from  his  absolute  innocence^

may  escape  ;  but  it  is  doubtful.     You,  in  your  awumcd  character  as 
Marquise  dc  Valognes,  must  inevitably  die." 

*'*■  I   promised  my   father  that  I  would  die  mute,  and  1  will 
mute,"  said  Mathilde. 

"  Mademoiselle,  listen  to  me  again.  I  am  Provencal,  and  one 
the  jailors  is  my  friend,  for  I  speak  his  language.  I  know 
than  another.  I  know  this.  Danton  and  the  secret  Committee  of 
the  Commune  have,  through  Marat,  been  removing  prisoners  to 
save  them  from  this  danger.  You  have  not  been  removed,  because 
M:irac  thinks  that  you  arc  your  sister ;  Marat  has  saved  many  on 
his  own  rcsponsibilitv,  and  even  now,  if  you  diclarc  yourself,  he 
could  save  you.''  You  are  provided  with  untncsses  to  your  identity 
—this  young  man,  myself,  and  my  Proveni;al,  who  would  swear,  if 
cold  him,  that  the  devil  went  to  mass  and  drunk  nothing  stn 
than  holy  water.  We  would  answer  for  the  fact  that  you  are  not 
the  Marquise  dc  Valognes^  who  is  suspected  of  being  carrier-pigeon 
between  Brittany  and  Coblcnti,  but  her  innocent  sister,  who  hu 
been  living  quietly  in  England," 

"  That  is  all  very  well,"  said  Mathiidc  i  "  but  you  do  not  con- 
sider my  sister." 

"  She  is  perfectly  safe,"  said  St.  Mcard. 

"  Indeed  she  is  not.  I  came  here  to  France  to  fulfil  a  promise 
to  my  father,  and  I  shall  fulfil  it." 

St.  Meard  knelt  at  her  feet. 

*^  I  implore  yuu.  Mademoiselle,  to  listen  to  reason." 

*'  You  have  no  right  to  kneel  to  mc,  M.  St.  Mcard.  I  im  fiamci 
to  Sir  Lionel  Somcrs." 

*'  I  will  betray  you,"  said  St.  Meard,  rising  furiously. 

**  You  will  not  do  so.     In  the  first  place,   you  gave  me  your 
honour  as  a  gentleman  that  you  would  do  nothing  of  the  kind  ; 
the  second  place,  no  one  would  believe  you." 

He  argued  again  and  again,  and  William  in  his  way  argued  al' 
But  she  said,  first  and  last,  "  You  wear?  me,  you  two.      I  prooiiseJ 
my  father."     And  so  after  a  time  they  sat  still,  and  saw  her  pray. 

At  last  she  said,  "  Here  they  come  ;"  and  they  came.  The  door 
was  partly  open,  and  the  first  person  who  entered  was  a  large  dog,' 
who  went  to  the  water  pitcher,  and  lapped.     Then  came  four

In  slouched  hats  (like  broad-leaved  wideawakes),  and  then  a  neat  man 
in  breeches  and  a  cutaway  coat,  and  the  cocked  hat  with  which  wc 
are  all  familiar  in  the  pictures  of  Napoleon.'' 

**  The  woman  calling  herself  the  Marquise  dc  Valognes  ?  "  said 
the  well-dressed  man. 

"  I  am  she,"  said  old  Mathilde. 

"  Follow." 

And  <:hc  followed,  and  St.  Meard  and  William  followed  also  \  but 
on  the  stairs  there  was  a  difficulty.      Mathilde  turned  to  St.  Meard, 

"  This  tnisjal,"  she  said ;  "  may  he  h.ive  it,  to  give  to  my 
sister  ? " 

"  It  is  a  case  for  the  tribunal,"  said  the  well-dressed  man ;  "  we 
know  of  no  missals." 

The  night  was  late  when  they  got  downstairs  into  the  main  passage 
or  hall  which  led  to  the  street.  What  need  is  there  to  describe 
here  ?  You  may  see  the  scene  for  yourselves  in  many  books,  among

her. 

**  You  are  the  tsl-Jisante  Marquise  de  Valognes  ? " 

*'  I  am  the  }Di-disantt  Marquise  de  Valognes,"  she  answered, 
firmly ;  and  thought,  '•'■  I  shall  not  die  with  a  lie  on  my  lips,  after 
all." 

"  You  are  accused  of  plotting  at  that  hell  on  earth,  Montauban, 
against  the  nation.  You  are  accused  of  carrying  news  from  Brittany 
to  Coblcncx.  There  is  enough  against  you  to  destroy  a  hundred,  for 
the  nation  is  angry.  It  is  accused  against  you  that  you,  your  lover,

**That  you  lie,"  said  Mathilde,  pale  with  fury  and  scorn. 

They  told  her  to  stand  back,  and  she  turned  towards  William,  and 
slightly  shivered,  for  William  had  done  a  strange  thing,  to  her  incx-

William  stood  before  her,  with  nothing  on  him  bur  bis  hreechc 
his  stockings,  and  his  shirt.     A  loose-mouihcd  patriot,  Jean  Bon 
who  had  once  guided  her  father  to  Marat,  remarked, — 

"  Le  citoyen  sc  d^robc." 

*'  Malbrook  s'en  va-tH;n  gueire,"  said  Mathildc,  which  did  her  no 
good. 

"  William,"  she  said,  "  why  have  you  taken  off  your  clothes  ? ' 

*'  It  is  so  hard  to  die  like  this." 

"  I  have  died  before  now,"  she  said,  and  turned  to  the  table, 
they  called  her. 

"  A  La  Force  !  " 

*^  I  am  the  friend  of  the  people  :  I  am  the  friend  of  Aiarat ;  but  I 

cannot  make  my  case  good,  and  so see,  you  men,  1  forgive  you, 

all." 

*'lwill  compromise  you  by  no  messages,"  said   Mathildcj  "but 
if  you  live  to  see  any  one  whom  I  loved,  tell  them  I  love  thcni  still." 

So  she  went  down  the  steps,  carrying  her  missal,  and  entering  the 
dark  passage  was  lose  to  sight.  ^^1 

St.  Meard  was  at  William's  shoulder  as  she  wem,     William  wi^^ 
fur  following  her,  but  St.  Meard  pointed  out  to  Iiim  the  utter  useless- 
ness  of  the  attempt. 

"  They  have  spared  many,"  he  said.     "  They  will  surely  spa 
her.      Reassure  yourself." 

"  I  sh.all  bolt,"  said  William.     "  1  believe  that  I  can  get  away  by 
the  left.    They  will  not  harm  her,  and  if  I  can  get  hold  of  her  fath 
and  Marat,  wc  shall,  as  you  say,  be  safe.     Will  they  kill  mc  ?  " 

**I  should  think  that  you  would  be  condemned.     1  fiuicy  you 
have  no  chance." 

"  Then  good-bye,  sir,  and   many  thanks   for   kindnesses   past. 
There  is  my  name." 

William  silently  stepped  up  to  the  table.  Of  the  "  pleadings"  he 
understood  not  one  word.  He  was  accused  of  being  the  luvcr  of 
Mathildc ;  but  he  knew  nothing  of  what  they  said,  and  cared  less. 
He  understood  in  some  measure  the  words  they  said  to  him,  for  they 
were  the  same  as  they  had  said  to  Mathildc — "  A  La  Forec  J  "  H 
turned  to  follow  her  down  the  steps.

being  a  cool  and  rapid  starter,  ojice  told  me  that  he  frequently  felt  so 

_      nervous  before  the  start  that  he  feared  to  fall  out  of  his  boat,  but 

P     that  the  instant  his  body  began  to  move  his  terror  was  gone.     It  was 

so  with  William  \  he  had  been  trembling  slightly,  but  the  instant  he 

turned  from  the  tabic  his  terror  was  gone. 

He  was  by  no  means  an  athlete,  only  an  ordinarily  well-made 
young  man  of  active  habit  and  great  physical  courage  ;  but  now  he 
possessed  the  concentrated  fury  and  the  concentrated  strength  of  ten 
men.'  As  he  stepped  swiftly,  lightly,  and  iilently  as  a  leopard  down 
the  steps  towards  the  passage,  he  felt  the  muscles  of  his  arms  tighten 
and  harden  under  the  excitement.  With  a  bound  like  a  young  lion 
he  was  out  into  the  light,  and  had  made  his  dash  towards  the  left. 

His  old  friend  Barbot  had  beard  that  he  was  coming,  and  begged 
his  fellow-conspirators  to  leave  this  young  man  to  him.  When 
William  bounded  out  so  swiftly,  he  was  before  him  with  upraised 
bludgeon,  but  it  never  descended  on  William's  head.  Nerved  by- 
despair  and  hope,  with  immense  dexterity  :ind  vigour,  William  dashed 
at  Barbot,  and  struck  him  with  all  his  force  a  round-handed  blow 
under  his  right  ear :  he  stumbled  over  him  as  he  fell,  and  cried, 
in  his  agony,  "  Dear  God  !  **  But  his  legs  kept  under  him,  and 
before  the  astonished  assassins  could  close  upon  him,  he  had  sped 
away  into  the  darkness  of  the  autumn  night. 

Journiac  dc  St.  Mcard's  agony  and  acquittal  arc  matters  of  history. 
His  escort  of  three,  bringing  him  out  at  the  door,  were  attracted  by 
a  group  bending  over  something  which  lay  close  to  the  threshold. 
"What  is  it,  then  ?  "  they  asked.  "  It  is  the  patriot  Barbot,"  they 
said.  "  He  has  been  struck  by  the  coup  de  poing  of  a  young  English- 
man, and  he  is  dead.'* 

"  And  the  young  man  ? "  asked  St.  Meard. 

"  He  has  escaped,"  they  said. 

**And  saved  my  life,"  thought  he.  "I  would  not  have  given 
much  for  it  if  Barbot  had  not  been  killed.  My  friends,"  he  said 
aloud,  "  lead  me,  for  I  am  going  to  shut  my  eyes.  One  lies  here,  I 
doubt,  whom  I  loved." 

And  so  they  led  him  with  his  eyes  shut,  and  when  he  was  released 
he  said  "Good-night,"  and  walked  away,  thinking  of  Andre  Dcsilles, 
Mathilde,  and  of  many  things.

CHAPTER    LIX. 
HADAME's   JOURNEr. 

Adele  was  quietly  spuming  out  her  life  with  her  aunt,  the  Lady 
Superior,  the  nuns,  and  the  baby,  at  Monuuban.  There  was  tittle 
danger  there ;  the  peasants  abound  were  loyal,  not  to  say  dangerous, 
to  the  Revolution.  The  Commune  of  Paris  believed  they  had  got 
her,  and  would  probably  leave  maners  quiet :  and  so  Madame 
lyisigny  had  followed  Mathilde  to  Paris. 

"  I  will  see,"  she  said  to  the  Lady  Superior,  "  if  I  can  do  any- 
thing with  that  husband  of  mine.  He  is  ripandu  with  many  of  these 
revolutionists.  You  and  Adele  aie  fat  too  contemptible  and  insigni- 
ficant to  be  troubled,   now    they  believe   they  have  got   the   real 

Marquise 1  beg  your  pardon,  sister  }  I  cannot  always  control  my 

tongue." 

The  Lady  Superior  begged  she  would  not  mention  it. 

**  You  are  kind  and  good  now  :  let  your  tongue  march,  my  dear." 

*^  And  I  am  doing  no  good  here,"  said  Madame,  after  a  pause. 
"  I  am  only  bringing  danger  on  the  house.  I  shall  go  to  Paris,  and 
act  with  my  husband.     I  shall  do  more  there  than  here." 

*'  Into  the  lion's  jaws,  my  sister." 

*^  Yes.  I  do  not  want  to  be  caught  like  a  rat  in  a  hole.  Tber^' 
axe  many  as  declared  as  I  in  Paris.  I  can  make  my  tongue  heard  in 
Paris,  if  the  worst  comes  to  the  worst.  And  it  is  a  sharp  one,  as 
thou  kriowcst,  my  kind  and  good  sister."  ^j 

The  Lady  Superior  wept  feebly — the  recollections  of  a  dreadful  dajr^H 
at  La  Garaye  came  upon  her.  ^* 

"  Yes,  I  will  go.  Though  Mathilde  is  perfectly  safe,  for  Marat 
would  risk  his  life  for  her,  yet  my  good  husband,  your  good  brother,  is 
such  an  extremely  wrong-headed  fool  that  he  may  disarrange  maneis. 
Charettc  will  see  to  you  ;  you  will  do  very  well.  Mathilde  is  the 
finest  member  of  this  family,  and  wants  a  better  head  than  her 
Other's  to  see  to  her." 

"  And  oh  I  "  said   the  Lady  Superior,  **  if  such  a  thing  coul 
occur  as  a   reconciliation  between  you  and  my  brother,  I  wo 
pray '* 

'*  The  imbecility  of  you  women  of  the  cloister  is  one  of  the  things 
which  is  ruining  Christianity,"  said  Madame.     "  Get  up,  and  do  not

be  foolish.     If  I  meant  to  murder  him  I  should  not  go  to  Paris  to 
seeic  him.     Get  up." 


So  she  departed  for  Paris  **to  seek  him,"  revolving  many  things 
by  ihe  w,iy. 

What  a  handsome  young  fellow  he  was  when  he  first  came  court- 
ing her,  thirty  years  ago,  in  the  old  youthful  days.  There  was 
a  high-toned  precision  in  his  very  gallantry,  which  had  taken  her 
fancy  at  once.  Barbira  Morton,  now  Lady  Somcrs,  would  have 
had  him,  though  she  was  ten  years  older  than  he,  being  thirty,  if  she 
was  a  day,  but  she  could  not.  Yes  \  he  was  a  generous  young 
fellow  then  \  what  a  picy  they  had  quarrelled. 

"Why  had  they  quarrelled?"  Madame  asked  herself.  They 
wcic  too  much  alike.  Neither  would  yield,  she  thought.  She  was 
furious,  he  inexorably  and  detestably  calm.  "  If  he  bad  yielded  on 
any  one  occasion,  wc  might  have  done  well  i  but  I  saw  my  intellect 
10  be  superior  to  his,  and  he  never  yielded  once.  If  he  had  done  it 
only  once  !  Isidore,  there  arc  worse  men  than  you.  Why  had  not 
I  called  him  Isidore  sooner?  I  suppose  because  he  never  would  call 
mt  by  my  Christian  name.     The  inexorable  ! 

"  If  he  would  yield  to  me  now,  in  any  one  point.  Let  me  tell 
myself  the  truth,  as  I  have  always  told  it  lo  others  j  fur  I  am  getting 
old,  and  am  weary  of  isolation.  If  1  could  get  him  and  Mathilde) 
Adcle  might  have  her  Dc  Valognes,  my  sister-in-law  her  nuns, 
Father  Martin  his  psalm-singing  ;  but  I  should  be  content. 

"  I  wonder  if  I  can  win  him  back  ?  He  is  a  dangerous  and  Sffi- 
cUe  man,  and  must  make  the  tirst  advance.  I  shall  be  old  and 
all  alone  soon,  for  Adele  and  her  sister,  the  nun,  are  absolutely  in- 
tolerable.    And  I  have  my  temper  more  under  control," 

At  this  point  the  carriage  stopped,  and  the  door  was  opened. 

"Madame  will  alight,"  said  a  man  with  a  grey  moustache,  in  a 
rather  dirty  blue  uniform. 

*'  And  why,  then,  inconceivable  pig  ?  *'  said  Madame,  suddenly  in- 
furiated at  having  her  more  sentimental  meditations  interrupted. 
*'  Do  ladies  of  my  position  alight  to  the  bidding  of  such  as  you  ?  " 

"  Fortunately  or  unfortunately,  yes,  Madame.  I  must  inspect 
your  papers." 

"  Tbcy  arc  signed  by  one  of  you,"  said  Madame,  in  a  loud  voice. 
"  By  old  Hebert,  Maire  of  Dinan  ;  a  rascal  whom  I  have  fought 
for  twenty  long  years  for  giving  short  weights  to  the  poor,  but  whom

I  have  never  yet  got  convicted,  in  consequence  of  the  unutterable 
cowardice  of  the  tcrritonal  aristocracy.  This  rascal,  short-weight 
epicUr^  has  turned  to  the  Revolution  now.  He  has  signed  my 
papers.  They  arc  good  enough>  I  should  think,  to  let  a  lady  pass 
such  as  you." 

The  grey  moustache  did  not  laugh  outwardly,  but  Madame  must 
alight. 

She  alighted  with  a  vengeance. 

*'  Now,  then,"  she  said,  in  English. 

**  What  fs  the  object  of  Madainc's  journey  to  Part*  I  " 

**  Is  it  in  thf  slightest  degree  likely  that  1  should  tell  you  the  truth  T 

*'  Most  unlikely,  M-adanie ;  but  it  is  one  of  the  questions  \vhich 
we  are  obliged  to  ask." 

'*  Which  shows  ihc  outrageous  imbcciTity  of  the  whole  affair," 
said  she.  **  See  1  will  tell  you  the  truth,  then,  you.  I  go  to  Paris 
to  assist  in  a  royalist  plot  ;  what  do  you  think  of  that  ?" 

**  That  Mad.ime  amuses  herself,  Madame  is  patriot,  by  her  denun- 
ciation of  the  Maire  of  Dinan." 

"A  better  one  than  you." 

"  Madame  can  proceed." 

"Thank  you  much,"  said  Madame,  in  Knglish,  jsZ/o  ftv^.  "I 
should  like  to  have  seen  the  man  of  you  who  could  have  stopped 
me.  I  would  have  had  Charrettc  on  you  in  twenty-four  hours. 
What  place  is  this  then  ? " 

"  Aleii(;on." 

When  she  was  safely  in  her  carriage  again,  she  pondered. 

**  Alcn^on  \  I  must  keep  my  temper  in  better  order.  I  hare  been 
near  ruin — I  am  out  of  my  bounds.  Alas !  my  poor  tongue,  it  has 
never  done  any  good." 

"  This,"  as  she  thought  herself,  "  does  not  look  like  a  recon- 
ciliation with  D'lsigny.  Yet,"  she  thought  once  more,  during  the 
last  stage  into  Paris,  "  I  am  after  all  .1  little  afraid  of  him,  and  I  am 
not  afraid  of  these  dogs.  That  may  make  me  keep  my  tongue  in 
order  towards  him."     And  so  she  went  on. 

Now  what  was  D'lsigny  doing  ? 

I  cannot  say  that  D'lsigny  was  a  conspirator  on  either  sid& 
No  decent  conspirator  would  have  had  anything  to  do  with  him. 
To  be  a  conspirator  you  must  It-arn  the  art  of  lying  with  a  clear 
bold  brow  and  an  honest  eye.  Now  D'lsigny  had  a  clear  bold 
brow  and   an   honest  eye  (which  eye,  however,  refused  to   meet

yours,  if  he  did  not  like  the  look  of  you,  like  many  another  honest 
man's),  but  in  the  habit  of  lying  he  was  as  deficient  as  his  wife. 
In  consequence  of  which  inability  for  verbal  lying,  D'lsigny's  con- 
tribution to  the  great  French  Revolution  was  going  up  and  down 
Paris  filming  and  contradicting,  offending  all,  conciltadng  none,  and 
doing  nothing. 

Lady  Somcrs  once  said  that  he  was  false.  So  he  was ;  for  he 
trimmed  from  day  to  day  %  and  he  ordered  Mathilde,  his  daughter 
and  slave,  to  continue  a  deceit  which  he  in  his  own  person  would 
have  repudiated.  Again,  as  in  the  old  case  at  Shcepsden,  with  Sir 
Lionel  Somcrs,  he  would  adopt  a  lie  for  a  time,  though  he  would 
never  originate  one. 

And  his  wife,  the  fury,  so  singularly  like  him  in  her  morality,  but 
miles  above  him  in  intellect  and  in  determination,  was  coming  after 
him  through  the  long  dull  roads. 

I  know  of  what  I  speak,  when  T  say  that  the  fury  of  that  woman 
arose  matnly  from  love,  balked  at  all  points  by  her  inexorable  stupid 
severity  -,  one  touch  of  tenderness  even  now  would  do  what  five- 
and-twenty  years  had  not  done.     But  was  it  not  too  late  ! 

D'Isigny  had  a  flat  in  the  Rue  St.  German,  room  after  room  \  in 
one  of  which  he  used  to  sit  fiddling  and  fribbling  over  his  papers  : 
writing  speeches  to  which  the  Assembly  never  listened^  as  he  was 
invariably  coughed  out  of  the  tribune  by  right  and  left.  Robespierre 
was  in  the  same  predicament  at  the  very  same  time,  and  RTslgny 
and  he  laid  their  heads  together  over  it.  It  was  apparent  to  both 
dog  and  cat  that  the  country  was  going  to  the  Devi). 

D'lsigny»  sitting  up  late  one  night  over  his  papers,  and  wondering 
at  intervals  how  Louis  de  VaEognes  got  on  in  the  Concici^ric,  and 
how  Mathilde,  sat  diiant  for  the  nonce  Marquise  de  Valognes,  got 
on  in  the  Abbaye,  when  his  room  door  was  opened,  and  his  wife, 
unseen  for  so  many  years,  came  in. 

He  was  up  Co  the  occasion.  He  was  up  Co  the  point  of  all 
occasions,  though  never  to  their  preparation.  *'  I  salute  you, 
Madame^"  he  said. 

"I  also  salute  you,  Monsieur,"  said  Madame.  *' As  there  has 
been  no  formal  separation  between  us,  I  ask  your  hospitality." 

"  It  is  granted  with  the  deepest  pleasure,  Madame." 

"That  is  kind,  at  all  events,"  said  Madame,  looking  keenly  at 
him.  "  We  can  never  live  together,  you  know,  because  we  don't 
suit  one  another.     But  we  will  part  firicnds.'*

Tilt  Gmiif  man's  Mazasine, 


[Mav, 


**  I  have  never  been  unfriendly  to  Madame." 

"Foolish  man,"  thought  Madame.  "One  trifle  of  tenderness 
would  have  made  me  follovr  you  to  the  world's  end  and  send  all  my 
principles  to  the  deuce.  Though  I  am  fifty  I  can  appreciate  beauty 
and  manhood,  and  you  are  vecy  handsome,  my  dear — handsomer  than 
ever,     ril  have  you  back ;  but  you  must  come,  not  he  fetched." 

But  he  would  neither  come  nor  be  fetched.     La  ptUttstt  franqai%t\ 
is  a  very  fine  tiling  for  concealing  sentiment,  but  not  always  so  fine 
for  announcing  it. 

So  these  two  actually  lived  together  again,  but  in  a  way  in  whkb 
only  French  people  can  live.  They  were  both  getting  old,  and  both 
getting  weary  of  isolation.  They  both  in  their  inmost  secret 
hearts  desired  to  be  one  again.  But  that  devil  which  wc  call  by  soJ 
many  names.  Pride,  Jealousy,  Temper,  but  whose  real  name  is 
Self,  had  a  stronger  hold  in  the  heart  of  the  precise  self-con- 
tcniphiting  D'Uigny,  than  he  h»d  in  the  wild,  fierce,  furious,  and 
yet  afTectionatc  woman,  who  had  once  been  his  wife. 

On  the  other  haJid,  Madame  said  to  herself,  "  He   must  speat' 
first :  it  is  always  so.     He  may  sulk  and  sulk  yet  again,  but  1  will 
make  him  speak  at  last." 

A  difficult  task,  Madame,  which  with  a  lady  of  your  very  «hoit'] 
patience  might  never  have  been  accomplished  at  all.  D'Uigny  was] 
not  a  likely  man  to  make  advances :  you  two  might  have  gone  to^ 
your  graves,  saying,  like  the  guards  of  the  two  great  nations 
Fontenoy,  "Fire  first."  '=' 

Yet  she  made  advances  ;  all  women  do.     The  world  would  he  aj 
howling  wilderness  if  they  did  not.     They  were  of  a  peculiar  nature, 
as  was  natural  in  such  a  woman.     Will  the  reader  grant  one  moic 
vulgarity,  and  allow  mc  to  say  that  "  the  grey  mare  was  the  best 
horse,"  and  that  she  was  determined  tu  show  it. 

"  I  suppose,  Monsieur,"  she  said  the  first  morning,  *'  that  occupy- 
ing the  same  suite  of  rooms,  it  would  be  as  well  if  we  took  our  meal* 
together  ?  " 

D'Isigny  would  be  charmed. 

**  Again,"  said  Madame,  "  economy  will  be  necessary.  We  are 
just  now  poor,  and  women  understand  economy  better  than  men, 
who  live  in  politics  and  in  life.     Economy  is  the  duty  and  honour  of

a  woman.  Will  you  let  your  wife  undertake  the  management  of  the 
household  \  " 

"  Madame,  you  do  me  honour." 

"  That  was  kindly  said,"  she  replied.  **You  must  know^  and  I 
will  confess,  that  il  is  entirely  owing  to  my  extreme  political  opinions, 
that  wc  arf  poor.  It  was  through  me  that  your  Urittany  estates 
were  ruined." 

■  "Madame,"  said  D'Isigny,  like  a  gentleman,  "you  seem  to 
forget  that  my  present  revenue  is  drawn,  almost  illegally,  from  ysur 
estates  in  Dorsetshire." 

Madame  said  that  <^hc  had  never  thought  of  it ;  and  she  told  him 
afterwards  again  that  she  really  never  had. 

Still  no  angel  came  down  to  trouble  these  strange  waters  of 
Beihesda.  The  pool  remained  perfectly  dull  and  level,  with 
English  oil  and  French  polish  (1  am  afraid  this  h  dreadfully 
"vulgar"  again).  Yet  these  two  people  were  drawing  together. 
The  angel  had  not  come  yet,  and  when  he  came  he  was  a  singular 
one. 

If  I  have  done  my  task  so  well  as  to  see  D'lsigny,  you  will  know 
that  he  would  have  died  sooner  than  have  fired  first.  Madame  said 
to  herself,  "  I  shall  have  to  do  it  all." 

They  got  now  into  the  habit  of  sitting  opposite  one  another  rn  the 
evening,  before  the  fire.  One  evening  he  asked  her  if  it  would 
amuse  her  to  be  read  to.  She  was  charmed.  He  read  to  her  from 
Boileau.  Madame  thought  the  poem  interesting,  aiid  was  obliged. 
When  he  had  finished  it,  she  asked  him  if  she  might  arrange  his 
papers. 

He  was  highly  flattered.  She  arranged  them,  and  asked  leave  to 
read  some  of  them,  at  which  he  was  .igain  fl-ittcred.  They  now 
began  to  talk  for  the  first  time  about  the  Revolution,  and  for  the 
first  time  in  their  lives  to  agree  about  anything.  They  agreed  that 
the  Revolution  would  not  do,  and  must  be  put  a  stop  to  immediately, 
at  all  hazards. 

He  yielded  so  f^r  as  to  say  that  he,  in  his  love  for  the  lower 
orders,  had  truckled  to  it  too  far.  Madame,  on  her  part,  said  that 
her  love  for  the  people,  always  notorious,  remained  undiminished. 
"  I  also  am  notorious  in  England  for  my  democracy  in  social 
matters,"  said  Monsieur.  "  I  also  am  notorious  in  the  same  way," 
said  Madame.  "Every  one  knows  it,"  said  Monsieur.  "I  have 
had  the  honour  to  address  remonstrances  to  Madame  on  what  I  then

was 


called  the  extravagance  of  her  cbarhjr. 
that." 

Madame  acknowledged  it,  and  shook  her  grey  old  bead.     "  It 
but  too  true,  and  Monsieur  had  rcaivon." 

Still  there  was  nothing  which  brought  out  one  atom  of  the  tender- 
ness which  was  in  both  their  hearts  after  their  Ijng  isolation.  Tlwrc 
was  nothing  between  ihein  but  that  wretched,  false,  oily  French 
politeness.     The  pool  of  Bcthcsda  was  not  troubled. 

**  Monsieur,*'  she  said  one  evenings  *'  I  take  the  libcny  to  iwte 
that  your  shirt  collar  is  frayed.  Will  you  allow  me  to  superinlcnd 
your  wardrobe  \  '* 

Monsieur  was  deeply  obliged.  Getting  nearer  and  nearer. 
Nothing  now  left  hut  two  proudly  defiant  Lucifcrs,  too  proud  to 
spcaltj  too  cowardly  to  speak,  ihc  inter-dependent  love  j  the  love  of 
the  oldi  stronger,  some  say,  than  the  boy  and  girl,  bride  and  bride- 
groom lo\'e,  which  was  in  their  hearts. 

So  the  two  inexorably  rigid  and  handsome  faces  shared  their  fire* 
side  together  again.  Monsieur  D'Isigny  read  aloud  to  her  a  great 
deal,  from  books  containing  the  most  beautiful  sentiments  i  Fenelon, 
for  instance.  But,  seeing  that  even  Madam(r*s  solid  face  expresiicd 
/nnuf,  he  read  her  Shakspcare  in  English.  They  were  both  good  at 
Sbakspcare,  and  so  .Madame  6tood  it  better  ;  she  knew  his  text,  and 
was  not  so  much  boicd  as  with  Fenclon.  Kay,  he  went  furthci 
^cld  for  her,  and  Bowdlerised  "  Rabelais  "  to  the  extern  of  reading 
the  trial  before  PajitagrucJ  for  her.  Madame  liked  that  better 
than  anything,  but  went  to  the  extent  of  telling  him  bluntly  that  she 
knew  it  by  heart. 

Nearer  and  nearer. 

Their  servant  went  out  to  one  of  the  innumerable  feasts  which 
were  beginning  then;  to  which  one  I  do  not  commit  myself,  because 
it  would  be  a  weariness  to  the  flesh  to  look  it  up.  She  went  to  this 
feast,  and  came  home  drunk.  Whereupon  she  was  most  promptly 
packed  away  by  Madame  D*Isigny. 

"We  can  get  on  together/*  she  said  to  her  hui^band.  ""^  I  am 
now  more  quick,  more  self-helpful  than  you." 

D'Isigny  agreed. 

"They  are  getting  more  brutal  and  defiant  than  ever,  these 
people,"  said  she.     "  Is  Mathildc  safe  ? " 

"  Safe  enough,"  he  said  ;  "  why,  Marat  would  Ukc  her  place  to- 
morrow."

"It  is  well,  then.  You  [uiow  more  of  ihcsc  people  than  do  I. 
YcC  ic  seems  to  me  hard  that  she  should  be  there  while  wc  arc 
here." 

"  It  M  hard,  wife,*'  said  D'Isigny  ;  "  but  she  is  safe  there.  St. 
Mcard  is  with  her.     Think  of  Dc  Valogncs,  think  of  the  king." 

Madame  apparently  thought  of  them  before,  for  she  said, 
"  Mathilde's  is  a  more  valuable  life  tha^  any  \  you  are  perfectly  sure 
that  she  is  safe  ?  " 

"  She  is  perfectly  safe.    1  could  arouse  Marat  in  a  moment." 

And  Madame  said :  "  Enfin^  I  suppose  you  arc  right.  Yet 
there  are  two  whom  wc  love  dearly  in  the  prisons,  and  if  you  have 
truckled  to  or  made  acnuatiitantc  with  this  double-dyed,  God- 
forgotten,  accursed  spawn  of  Saun,  Marat,  it  would  be  as  well  if 
you  utilised  him,  and  used  his  infernal  influence  to  see  our  beloved  ones. 
A  thousand  pardons,  iMonsieur.      You  know  my  tongue  of  old." 

"  It  is  equalt  Madame.  I  think  that  they  are  perfectly  »fi;. 
And  please  to  remember  how  utterly  suspect  you  are  yourself. 
Remember  that  any  communication  between  yourself,  just  arrived 
from  Montauban,  and  cither  Louis  de  Valcgnes,  or  Mathilde,  would 
assuredly  render  me  suspect.  Remember  who  you  are,  and  what 
you  have  been  doing  ;  and  forbear.  My  truckling  to  Marat,  as  you 
so  kindly  puc  it  just  now,  has,  at  all  events,  enabled  you  to  live  a 
fortnight  in  Paris  without  arrest.      Tahez-vout,  Madame." 

And,  said  Madame  Co  heisclf^  **■  You  arc  no  fool,  you,  I  u$cd 
to  think  that  you  were." 

There  is  one  phase  of  politics,  which  they  call  in  the  United  States 
(as  I  am  informed)  lobbying.  1  only  half  know  what  the  phrase 
mcanit ;  but  I  wholly  know  that  D'Jsigny  would  have  been  a  great 
lobbyist.  This  phase  of  politics  was  called,  unless  I  am  deceived 
(when  there  were  any  politics  in  these  distracted  islands),  butloJl- 
holding.  D'Isigny  was  a  master  at  it.  Few  Kcuillanls  or  Girondists 
came  into  the  lobbies  of  the  Assembly  without  being  hutton-hoied  by 
D'Isigny.  Adcic  says,  in  her  memoirs,  that  he  button-holed  Louvct, 
and  said,  "  It  is  for  you  to  answer  Danton."  "  How,  then  I  "  said 
Louvct.  "  I  speak  not."  Whereupon,  says  AdcIc,  her  fithcr  gave 
Louvct  his  snufT-box,  and  said,  "  Ettrnuex  tsujottrs^  it  would  spoil 
the  periods  of  Demosthenes."     But  that  is  only  what  Adcle  said. 

Lobbies  and  passages  arc  notoriously  draughty,  and  gentlemen  of 
nearly  sixty  who  loiter  in  them  arc  extremely  apt  to  get  rheumatism. 
Consequently,    D'Isigny,  continually  d.iwdling  in  these  lobbies  of

the  Assembly,  got  one  evening,  late  in  August,  a  nip  oflumb^o 
across  the  lower  part  of  his  very  stiff  and  upright  back,  which  mxic 
him  say  a  very  dreatlful  word,  never  heard  among  gentlemen,  but 
which  begins  with  ;,  several  times  on  his  way  home.  And  he  had  tu 
go  to  bed,and  Madame  in  white  jacket  nursed  him,  kindly  and  tenderly. 
Nearer  and  nearer.  Yet  the  great  word  unspoken.  Was  it 
likely  to  be  spoken  under  such  circumstances  ?  An  eldeHy  man 
with  rheumarism,  and  an  old  woman  nursing  him.  Sentimentaf 
love  must  have  lung  been  dead  between  those  two.  Stfrgey  con- 
centrated on  the  same  object,  might  unite  them  once  more. 

Would  Monsieur  and  Madame  D'Isignyever  have  been  united  with- 
out disastci  }  I  decline  to  express  2n  opinion.  He  could  not  go  to  the 
Assembly,  but  lay  in  his  bed,  rubbing  his  back  with  opodeldoc.  She 
Buttered  about  the  rooms  in  her  camisole  and  assisted  him,  con- 
gratulacing  herself  and  him,  that  they  could  get  on  without  a  tipsy 
maid.  '*Oh,  heavens!  had  there  been  but  a  maid  who  went  into 
the  street  and  brought  news,  she  might  have  lived  drunk,  died  drunk, 
and  be  buried  drunk."     This  was  Madame's  language  afterwards. 

Opodeldoc  ajid  tisane  j  and  the  fiie  in  the  stove  to  be  kept  up, 
and  no  servant  to  bring  the  wood.  "You  will  be  cold.  Monsieur, 
my  husband,"  she  said  j  "  I  will  put  some  of  my  not  numerous 
petticoats  over  you."  So  she  talkcdj  walking  up  and  down  the 
room. 

Merciful  heavens  !  Sparc  us  !  and  save  u!  from  dying  of  sheer 
terror,  like  dogs!  What  figure  is  this, standing  bold  and  horrible 
in  the  lamplight,  which  makes  the  infuriated  and  dauntless  Madame 
D'Isigny  cower  down  into  the  bed  beside  her  husband,  and  which 
makes  D'Isigny  rise,  with  his  arm  around  his  wife's  neck,  to  con- 
front it  ?  What  figure  \%  this,  then,  that  strikes  terror  into  the 
hearts  of  those  who  had  never  known  terror  before,  and,  divided  for 
so  many  years,  now  felt  their  hearts  beating  one  against  the  other  f 
Who  was  this  ghost  ? 

William  the  Silent.  William,  the  English  groom,  standing  there 
before  them  in  the  lamplight,  in  shirt,  breeches,  and  stockings. 
Handsome,  in  the  defiant,  triumphant  fury  of  his  look,  yet  saying 
words  which  made  him  hideous  and  horrible. 

"  Monsieur,  they  are  murJcring  the  prisoners.  I  have  escaped 
by  running  ;  but  ihcy  have  murdered  Mademoiselle  Mathildc."

THE    BRITISH   ARMY.* 

!ME  opportune  a|jpearance  of  a  book  may  sometimes  be 
a  fortitiia.tc  coioridcnce  rather,  than  the  result  of  a  delibe- 
rate purtjose,  or  of  any  well-grounded  anticipalioiis  ou  the 
part  of  the  author  j  still,  tn  any  case,  the  practical  utility  of 
a  work,  the  impression  which  it  may  make,  ami  its  conse- 
cjucnt  value  ami  sul'CCss,  are  certain  to  be  a/recte<l  in  no  slight  degree 
hy  the  L-iri  um^Ltnces  that  attend  its  pubUcation.  Just  now  wt:  liavc  a 
good  (.a.sc  in  point.  It  h  scarcely  protuble  th.'Lt,  when  he  had  com- 
pleted his  protracted  and  voluminous  ])rei>arations,  and  at  length  had 
reached  the  condition  of  readiness  for  the  ro  operation  of  the  printer, 
.Sir  Sibbald  .Srott  could  have  congratulated  himself  on  having  anticipated 
the  equipment  and  despatch  nf  an  Abyssinian  Expedition  just  at  the 
very  time;  that  his  two  goodly  volumes  would  be  presented  to  the 
public.  Here,  undoubtedly,  iras  a  coincidence,  which  this  author  might 
justly  estimate  the  more  highly  because  ii  was  unexpected,  That  such 
a.  treatise  as  Sir  Sibbald  Scon's  should  attract  much  attention,  let  it 
appear  whcne\-er  it  might,  would  be  a  certain  consequence  of  the  fact 
of  its  appearance.  But,  the  inherent  independent  interest  and  v:due  of 
a  work  such  as  this,  devoted  to  the  consideration  of  the  "  origin,  pro- 
grcsi,  and  equipment  of  the  British  army,"  cannot  fail  to  be  very  greatly 
enhanced  by  the  circumstance,  that  it  invites  public  attention  at  the 
very  time  in  which  the  equipment  of  one  particular  British  army  is  a 
subject  of  supreme  nation.il  imporLince.  So  that  concerning  the  popu- 
larity of  tlie  .^bj'ssinian  i:)xpedition,  with  at  least  one  i[idividu:il,  tlicrc 
can  be  no  question. 

The  work,  thus  happy  in  the  time  of  its  appearance,  dots  not  attempt 
to  de.il  with  the  existmg  condition  of  tliin^^s,  nor  does  it  carry  on  the 
*'  progres-f  "  of  the  British  army  to  the  present  day.  tn  fact,  the  auUior 
would  have  been  more  consistent  haii  he  adopted  some  other  title  for 
his  treatise,  seeing  that  he  scarcely  touches  upon  the  "  British  army" 
properly  so  called,  and  as  that  term  now  is  generally  understood.  What 
he  has  undertaken  to  investigate  anil  to  record  is  what  may  be  distin- 
guished as  the  archxology  of  his  subject.  Grouping  together  whatever 
m  early  times  in  this  country  has  had  any  connection  witJi  militaiy 
science,  the  art  of  war,  and  the  act  of  warfare.  Sir  Sibbald  Scott,  with 
the  utmost  industrj-  and  perseverance,  and  wjth  a  thorough  devotion  to 
tlie  work  he  has  had  in  hand,  has  collected  a  vast  amount  of  diversified 
information,  and  he  has  so  moulded  the  whole  as  to  form  from  it  a 
copious  .TPid  comprehensive  gcner.il  introduction  to  the  history  of  the 
more  recent  national  institution — the  true  "  British  army."  Or,  in  other 
words,  of  Sir  Sibbald  Scott's  volumes  it  may  be  said,  that  they  constitute 
a  highly  important  contribution  to  English  military  history. 

It  will  at  once  be  understood  that  the  peculiar  value  of  a  work  such 
as  this  at  tlie  present  time,  and  its  special  attractiveness  also,  must

He  is  contenl  to  trace  che  progress  of  military  ctiuipmcnt  in  England, 
from  its  earliest  stages,  thiough  its  progressive  development,  tmtil  he

kaving  it  to  his  readers  to  work  out  xvhat  he  did  not  include  within  his

SOR.S  and  rrantc  such  inferences  as  may  seem  good  to  them. 

Mary  readers,  however,  without  proposing  to  themselves  to  apply  to 
a  present  purpose,  or  n-ith  any  particular  practicil  aim,  records  andj 
illusinttions  of  our  early  miJiUf}'  equipment,  will  find  much  to  gratify 
them  in  Sir  Sibbald's  jiagcs  ;  and,  more  particularly,  should  they  cherish 
decided  arclixological  sympaibics,  like  the  author  himself,  they  v\\\ 
greatly  rejoice  in  his  graphic  illustrations  of  tho*c  good  old  times  when 
warriors  wore  armour  of  proof  so  strong  that  they  Lhemselves  were 
secure  from  re<:^tving  much  injury,  and  so  massive  Uiat  the  inlliction  by 
tUeni  of  much  injury  upon  others  was  a  inaLCcr  attended  with  serious 
dithcultics.  At  the  same  time,  we  are  disposed  to  believe  that  in  almoM 
every  inbtancc,  tliuughtful  readers  of  Sir  SibbalJ  Scott  will  1>e  certain  tu 
make  one  obscnation,  to  this  effect, — Uiat  the  men  who  were  in  aulboritj' 
in  mililory  matters  in  pa^st  times,  and  mou-  loiticubrly  in  times  that  have 
lung  passed  away,  made  the  most  that  was  possible  for  thero  to  make  of 
the  comj>arativciy  very  limited  and  feeble  means  al  their  disposal,  ll 
is  an  easy  step  to  pass  on  to  a  com]Miiison  bctn'een  wliat  ^vas  effected 
in  tliosc  e;irlier  and  darker  days  with  the  powers  then  known  and  avail- 
able for  use,  and  what  is  effected  now  with  our  infinitely  greater  powers 
by  ourselves.  The  result  of  such  a  comparison  may  be  eminently  salu- 
tary, notwithstanding  the  certainly  diat  It  must  prove  to  be  anjlhing 
but  gratifying  in  the  first  instance.  That  our  ancestors  made  the  most 
of  dieir  powers,  and  lliat  they  accomplished  very  much  with  very 
limited  means,  cinnol  be  questioned ;  and,  ihcrcfore,  we  may  rightly 
entertain  on  this  behalf  an  honourable  pride  of  anceslrj* :  but,  there 
docs  not  appear  to  be  by  any  means  a  corresponding  good  ground  for 
us  to  be  proud  of  our  own  achievements,  when  we  place  our  resource*, 
scientific  and  mechanical,  side  by  side  with  the  resources  of  the  aimour- 
wearing  ages.  We  are  still  making  experiments,  still  seeking  to  discover 
by  what  means  we  may  apply  must  efl'ectually  the  absolutely  enormous 
resources  that  obey  our  commands.  In  many  important  paniculars  the 
equipment  of  the  Abyssinian  expedition  itself  was  experimental :  and  it 
is  (|uite  within  the  compass  of  possibility  that  these  experiments  may 
not  all  prove  completely  successful.  Again :  nothing  can  be  more 
remarkable  than  die  neglect  with  which  some  suggestions  of  the  greatest 
value  and  imporlancCf  made  at  a  comparatively  early  time,  were  long 
treated  by  those  who  hod  the  direction  of  military  equipment  amongst 
us — witness  tlie  examples  of  breech-loading  fire-arms  and  revolvers  of 
the  i5[h  and  iCih  centuries,  to  which  we  prcsendy  shAll  invite  panicular 
attention,  but  which  so  long  were  powerless  to  disturb  the  tranquil  rxile 
of  "  Brown  Bcis"  and  her  allies.  Here  wc  leave  this  train  of  thought, 
which  involunlarily  suggested  itself  lo  us  while  examining  Sir  SibbskI 
Scott's  volumes,  that  wc  may  .-iccompany  him  for  awhile  in  his  meaxcbes, 
and  with  him  may  consider  same  of  the  more  striking  characteristics  of

tions,  tliat  we  may  apply  <antl,  if  ne  arc  wise,  we  shall  be  careful  to 
apply  tliciii)  to  our  present  advantage. 

The  t-nynived  examples  of  armour,  caily  weapons,  and  defensive  and 
other  military  equipments,  which  illustmtc  Sir  Sibbaltl  Scon's  tew, 
claim  more  than  a  brief  passing  expression  of  even  the  most  decided 
approval.  These  examples,  more  than  one  hundred  in  number,  have 
a,il  been  taken  from  original  authorities  that  are  still  in  existence.  With 
the  cxfcpiion  of  a  few  copies  of  early  contemporary  pictorial  rcprcscn- 
talJonR,  ihcmselves  possessing  very  high  authority,  all  the  cngra%-ings 
have  been  drawn  directly  from  the  eri^nal  relics  themselves — from  the 
actual  helms,  swords,  &c.,  which  are  preser%'ed  in  public  and  private 
armouries  (of  which  the  finest  is  at  Pariiam  Park,  Sussex,  belonging  to 
the  Hon.  Robert  Curzon),  and  also  in  snuller  collccrionii.  These 
engravings  also,  unlike  the  illustrations  in  more  than  one  recent  work  on 
early  art,  arc — like  the  objects  they  represent— original,  and  not  reprints 
from  other  books.  Their  fidelity,  moreover,  and  their  originality  are  by 
no  means  the  only  (lualitic-i  of  distinguished  excellence  possessed  l^ 
these  engravings,  since  their  artistic  character  is  equally  admirable. 
They  are,  indeed,  most  honourable  to  the  artist,  Mr.  Robert  T.  Pritchctt, 
F.S.A.,  by  whom  they  have  all  been  executed ;  as  they  retlcct  h%h 
honour  upon  the  author,  both  for  ha^-ing  placed  tliern  in  such  able 
hands,  and  for  having  selected  the  examples  themselves  with  such  sound 
judgment  and  good  taste.  We  have  sincere  pleasure  in  placing  before 
our  readers  a  small  group  of  these  woodcuts  bj-  Mi.  Pritchctt,  which  we 
have  selected  with  the  twofold  purpose  of  giving  specimens  of  his 
method  of  treating  very  different  sulijecis,  and  also  of  showing  how 
mudi  of  curious  as  well  as  valuable  information  is  to  be  obuiinea  &om 
the  w(jrk  which  they  illustrate. 

It  is  impossible,  indeed,  to  form  too  high  an  estimate  of  the  import- 
ance of  engravings  which  give  faiUiful  and  exact  represenutions  of 
origitul  csamj)les  of  work.s  that  are  historical  monuments ;  and,  in  like 
manner,  similar  reproductions  of  early  miniatures  and  illuminations,  as 
illustrations  of  our  national  history,  arc  equally  important.  The  con- 
tents of  such  armouries  as  those  of  the  Tower,  of  Warwick  Castle,  and 
of  Parham  Park  (from  which  Mr.  Pritchctt  has  obtained  so  many  of 
his  examples),  have  too  long  been  generally  regarded  in  the  light  of 
curiosilics,  to  the  exclusion  of  a  becoming  recognition  and  a  consistent 
application  of  their  historical  qualities. 

And  it  has  been  precisely  the  same,  to  a  truly  remarkable  d^ree, 
with  the  unrivalled  treasures  of  early  illustrated  manuscripts  that  exist 
in  our  piiblic  and  prirate  libraries :  they  are  prized  as  relics  of  the 
past,  and  sometimes  they  are  partially  reproduced  through  the  aid  of 
engraving,  cither  to  exemplify  the  illuminator's  art,  or  to  exhibit  curious 
scenes  from  mcdi.xv.il  life,  while  as  truthful  life-like  historical  chronicles 
they  have  been  almost  absolutely  neglected.  .And  so  also  in  the  case 
of  the  sculptured  and  cngra^'en  monumental  effigies  of  which  our  country 
possesses  collections  that  know  no  rivals.  The  archxological  claims  of 
these  works  of  late  years  have  been  fully  recognised,  but  Uicir  historical 
importance  has  been  treated  with  comparati^'e  indifference.  Sir  Sibbald 
Scott  has  not  sought  his  itlu-strations  from  monuments;  but  he  has 
shown  that  he  thoroughly  appreciates  the  true  value  of  original  examples

of  the  mililary  equipinent  of  various  periods,  and  that  he  also  can  read

oiienition,  the  extraordinary  stigget>tivencss  of  which  mi^ht  fiurly  bare 
been  expected  to  have  been  comprehended  by  artillerists  long  before 
the  lapse  of  more  th»n  four  centuries.  The  old  chronicler  bad  recorded 
"how  Earl  Kichard  de  Bcauchamp  brought  up  vessels  by  water  to 
Reone  (Rouen),  and  by  his  policy  was  it  besieged  by  land  and  bj 
water  i"  and  the  illuminator  shoirs  us  how  die  £nrl  stood  by,  whiW  one 
of  his  artillery-men  affixed  the  loaded  chamber  to  the  breech  of  oik  of 
his  cannon.  This  early  piece  of  ordnance,  indeed,  can  scnrcely  clainj  to 
be  a  true  "  breech-loader  ^  but,  without  any  doubt  or  questicm,  it  cxcni- 
plitics  the  true  principle  of  brecch-toading  for  ordnance.  "  The  guns  of 
this  jKriod,'*  says  Sir  Sibbald  Scott,  "were  composed  of  two  ptci 
detached,  a  breech  or  chamber,  and  a  chase,  llie  charge  was  pi 
in  tlic  former,  which  was  then  grooved  on  to  the  latter,  which  served 
give  direction  to  the  shot.  'Ilicrc  were  more  chambers  than  chases, 
that  u  soon  ai  one  had  been  discharged  anoUicr  wja  ready  to  be 
affixed."  And  yet  four  centuries  had  to  drag  their  lun^j  length  away 
before  a  Whitworih  and  an  Armstrong  would  arise  to  bring  to  perfection 
the  "  Beancluiup  gun."  This  great  l-^rl,  who  died  in  his  tostle  at 
Kouen  in  the  year  1439,  was  buried  in  his  own  "  Reauchamp  chapel" 
at  Warwick.  The  remarVnblc  resemblance  of  die  tare  of  his  noble 
monumental  effigy  to  his  features,  a.s  they  arc  represented  in  this  sketch 
at  the  siege  of  Rouen,  is  too  decided  not  to  attract  attention. 

If  wc  remember  right,  our  army  5en-e<I  throughout  the  Crimean  cim- 
paigns  with  muzzIe-Ioadlng  fire-onus  ;  and  at  the  present  motnent  otu^

And  yet  Sir  Sibbald  Scott  shows  us  tliat  in  the  hand-guns— -"hanM- 
gunnes" — introduced  into  the  military  equipment  of  the  ^rst  half  of  Uic 
■16th  ccnturj*,  loading  at  the  breech  was  adopted.  No.  3  represents  a 
weaiwn  said  to  have  belonged  to  Henry  VIII.  It  is  in  the  Towfcr  col- 
lection. The  length  of  the  barrel  is  i  fL  it  in. ;  it  is  adorned  with  the 
Tudor  royal  .irm?,  and  bears  the  royal  initials,*'  H.  R.  f  and  it  t5  fitted 
for  tntt  /iKiJtnt^  ai  the  trfcfh,  with  a  moveable  chamber,  and  is  discharged 
by  a  trigger.  This  arm  is  tlie  arquthus.  With  regard  to  the  dctira- 
tion  of  tliis  term,  our  autljor  states  that  "  the  most  formid.ibk-  of  cross- 
bows, before  fire-arms  came  into  general  use,  was  one  which  discharg 
a  ball  or  pellet  firom  a  barrel."  Hence  the  derivation  of  the 
"arquebus"— ar<-.,'Mjw,  bow  and  barrel  (from  the  Dutch  bus ;  bisu 
Low  German,  a  gun-barrel).  '*  In  process  of  time,  as  gunpowder

remains,  however,  unquestionable.  Mr.  Prilrhctt  has  given  several 
other  equally  remarkable  representations  of  early  examjilcs  of  breccb- 
loading  arms,  some  of  them  from  original  treapons  in  his  own  possesskw. 

in  connection  with  the  original  weapon,  the  f^  in  our  No.  4,  Sir 
Sibbald  Scott  states,  that  "revolvers  are  referred  to  in  Ward's  'Animad- 
versions of  Warre.'  1639."  And  he  then  proceeds: — ^"As  it  is  admitted 
that  there  is  nothing  new  under  the  sun,  so  wc  may  read  of  a  repeating 
gun  in  1580,  in  the  petition  of  'John  the  Almain'  (German),  rccom- 
meadiDg  one  of  his  countr)'men,  who  had  '  invented  an  arqucbusc  that 
shall  containe  ten  balls  or  pclkts  of  lead,  all  the  which  shall  goc  off  one 
after  another,  liaving  once  given  fire  ;  so  that  with  one  horqucbusc  one 
may  kill  ten  thieves,  or  other  tutmiet,  without  re-charging.'  " 

Numerous  groups  of  weapons,  of  many  varieties,  and  some  fine  single 
specimens  of  swords,  of  di^'erent  periods,  with  specimens  of  the  buff- 
coats  that  were  worn  during  the  Cavalier  nnd  Roundhead  era,  also  with 
accoutrements  of  various  kinds,  are  included  in  these  admirable  collec- 
tions of  engravings.  Tliey  also  comprehend  earlier  examples  of  de- 
fensive C(]ui]>mcnt  of  a  mucli  more  massive  diaraclcr  than  the  buA'-coat, 
with  "its  silver  wired  buttons,"  that  was  woni  by  Colonel  Fairfax  at  the 
battle  of  Xascby,  in  the  year  1645.  Wc  give  one  singularly  charac- 
teristic specimen  of  the  most  important  of  the  productions  of  the 
armourer  of  the  uth  ccntur>* — a  helm,  No.  5,  that  was  dug  np  at  the 
rxstlc  of  nciT)*  Pomcroy,  Devon,  and  is  novi-  in  Mr.  Curzon's  armourj*  at 
Parham.  This  ii  a  helm  of  the  "  flat-topped  "  class,  such  as  arc  rcpre- 
sentc<l  as  being  worn  over  the  coif  of  mail  in  some  cirly  .seals  and  of 
which  a  well-Itnomi  full-size  rcprescnl-ilion  is  sculptured  upon  the  head 
of  the  effigy  in  the  Temple  Church,  Uiat  was  conwdered  to  commemo- 
rate Gcoffrc)'  dc  M.-indcvillc,  until  Mr,  J.  G.  Nichols  showed  con-  ^j 
ctusivcly  that  it  could  have  no  connection  whatever  with  that  barOn.  ^H 
Sir  Sibbald  Scott  does  not  a|^>ear  to  be  aware  of  Mr.  J.  G.  Nichols'  article  ^B 
in  the  "  Herald  and  Genealogist "'  {vol.  ill.  p.  9;),  since  he  speaks  of 
Uie  effigy  in  question  as  being  that  "  of  Sir  Geoffrey  dc  Mandc\-illc,  Con- 
stable of  tlie  Tower  in  1 1 50,  in  the  Temple  Church."  With  the  helm  of 
the  early  knight,  who  might  have  api^carcd  in  the  fidld  with  the  now 
unknown  warrior  of  the  Temple  Church,  we  associate  another  example 
of  the  slec!  headpiece  that  was  in  use  at  a  very  diflercnt  period.  No.  6, 
the  helmet  now  prcservctl  at  Warwick  Castle,  which  certainly  belongs 
to  the  age  of  Oliver  Cromwell,  and  by  some  antiqu.iries  is  considered  to 
have  formed  a  port  of  the  personal  equipment  of  the  Lotd  Froiector 
himself.     This  engraving  leaves  nothing  to  be  desired. 

Our  last  specimen,  No.  7,  also  from  an  original  relic  in  the  Warwick 
Castle  Amiouiy,  comes  still  nearer  10  our  own  era  :  this  is  2  Highland 
target,  the  date,  a-d.  1715.  The  engraving  represents  the  decorated 
face  of  the  target,  without  the  long  sharji  spike  uiat  in  action  was  fixed 
to  the  central  boss.  This  spike  is  shown  unsheathed,  and  unscrewed 
from  the  boss ;  and  it  is  also  represented,  in  the  condition  in  which  it  is 
kept,  returned  to  its  scabbard,  the  scabbard  itself  being  attached  to  the 
inner  side  of  the  target.  This  inner  side  is  lined  with  dccr-skin  ;  and 
the  "enarmes,"  or  straps  for  the  arm,  are  of  otter-skin. 

It  is  not  possible  for  us  to  take  leave  of  these  representations  of 
armour  and  arms  by  Mr.  Pritchett,  without  expressing  a  hope  that,  at  fto

evident  that  ther«  can  be  no  difficulty  in  dcltrraining  who  is  the  right 
aitist  to  illustrate  it. 

The  use  tliat  Sir  Sibhalil  Scott  has  made  of  illuminations  representing 
historical  subjects  ami  veritable  incidents  of  hislor)-,  al&o  leads  to  the 
suggestion  thai  these  same  early  contemijoraneous  authorities  should  be 
applied  in  the  same  spirit  to  the  illustration  of  our  national  hislor>-.  As

of  the  living  historian,  aad  thus  has  been  eiubled  to  delineate  characters 
and  to  describe  events  with  a  vivid  truthfulness  before  unknott-n,  so  may 
such  manuscripts  as  the  one  which  has  given  us  the  life-like  portrait  of 
the  great  Earl  of  Warwick  at  Rouen,  contribute  in  another  rapacity  to 
the  development  of  historical  truth  and  Uic  enrichment  of  our  wrincn 
histories. 

^Vith  so  much  in  his  volumes  that  possesses  a  rare  \*alue,  it  is  a  subject 
for  no  slight  regret  that  Sir  Sibbakl  Scott's  work  should  be  deficient  ia 
more  than  one  of  those  important  qualities  without  which  it  would  not 
be  possible  for  it  to  attain  to  a  definite  position  in  the  ranks  of  standard 
literature.  It  is,  indeed,  like  a  museum,  from  the  diversitj"  of  its  con- 
tents ;  or,  rather,  since  its  manifold  contents  have  all  a  tendency  in  the 
same  direction,  since  all  are  tinged  with  the  same  colouring,  and  all  in 
some  degree  are  influenced  by  a  single  leading  associarion  that  is 
common  to  them  all,  his  work  may  more  correctly  be  said  to  resemble 
some  one  richly  stored  department  of  a  museum ;  but  then,  unfortunately^ ! 
it  is  a  department  which,  however  copious  its  collections,  and  however 
valuable  its  specimens,  has  yet  to  be  classified  and  arranged,  and  made 
really  available  for  practical  use.  Quite  as  remarkable  as  the  vast 
quantity  of  matcrid  which  it  contains,  is  the  order,  or  absolute  want  of 
all  order,  which  characterises  Sir  Sibbald  Scott's  "  British  Army."  He- 
has  searched  everywhere,  and  has  brou^t  contributions  to  his  stores 
from  cvcrj-  quarter  ;  so  that  it  would  l>c  difficult  to  adduce  any  point  of 
interest  or  imporuncc,  which  h.is  cither  escaped  his  notice,  or  been 
treated  by  him  with  comparative  indifference.  Still,  as  a  whole,  the' 
resuU  of  nil  this  toil  and  diligence  and  care  is  raised  but  ver}'  slightly 
abo\'e  the  condition  of  raw  material.  Ami  this  disastrous  absence  of 
tliat  lucithis  onto  which,  in  a  work  such  as  this  aspires  to  be,  nu  less  than 
in  [he  disposition  of  a  living  army  for  actual  service  in  the  fields  is  x< 
quality  uf  jxaramount  necessity  for  the  achie%'ement  of  success,  extends 
beyond  the  arrangement  and  combination  of  tlic  sections  and  sub- 
divisions of  the  "  contents" — it  extenils  even  to  the  association  of  the 
engraved  illustrations  with  the  text  In  the  m.ijority  of  instances  the 
cngranngs  apjicar  wjiliout  any  present  object  or  motive  whatever  ;  and 
as  to  chranologicil  seijuciice,  there  is  scarcely  a  vestige  of  any  recogni- 
tion of  ihe  po«iible  existence  of  any  such  element  in  the  marshalling  and 
aggroupment  of  such  a  work.  Xow  these  grave  shortcomings  coupled 
wiil^  other  minor  imperfections  which  might  easily  be  rectified  (such  u 
an  indisrinct  personal  acquaintance  with  some  early  relics,  and  a  con- 
sequent dubious  or  mistaken  reference  to  them — (vol.  i.  Jo8,  the  first 
paragraph,  for  example) — render  it  imperative  thai  Sir  Sibbald  should  re- 
cast his  materials,  and  reproduce  in  a  fresh  form  what  has  cost  him  so 
much,  and  in  itself  is  of  such  decided  intrinsic  value.  A  second  edition 
■of  thLs  work,  if  it  might  not  be  made  to  e.\haust  the  subject  of  which  it 
treats,  certainly  might  enable  the  autlior  to  employ  his  great  resources 
to  infinitely  greater  ad\antagc  than  they  can  be  while  they  remain  in 
their  present  condition :  and  this  improvement  would  be  carried  still 
further  if  the  author  were  to  extend  his  researches,  and  to  treat  of  the 
"  British  Army"  after  it  had  aluined  to  a  definite  and  well  understood 
character  and  position.  Of  such  peculiar  value  in  its  own  dei>artment 
of  literature  might  a  book  such  as  ttiis  be  made,  that  it  is  imj^ossiblc  to)

be  content  with  it  so  long  as  its  admirable  qualities  are  overshadowed 
by  what  may  be  consistently  designatetl  as  the  want  of  judicious  gene-

RECORDS  OF  RABY  CASTLE. 

|MONGST  the  many  lovely  spots  in  England  and  Scot- 
htiid  which  Sir  Walter  Scott  has  rendered  famous  by  a 
touch  of  his  magic  pea,  is  the  beautiful  ground  lying  rni 
each  side  of  the  river  Tees,  which  divides  Durham 
and  Yorkshire,  passing  in  its  course  the  well-known  names  of  Bar- 
nard Castle,  Mortham  Tower,  Brignal  Banks  (through  which  flows 
Greta  Beck),  and  Wycliffe,  all  names  familiar  to  everj'  reader  of 
"  Rokeby."  At  Winston  the  river  is  crossed  by  a  stone  bridge  of  a 
single  span  of  a  hundred  and  eleven  feet,  at  one  of  its  most  pictu- 
resque points,  where  the  shallow  water  murmurs  over  its  rocky  bed, 
and  by  its  playful  turns  and  twists  and  mimic  waterfalls  affords  a 
striking  contrast  to  its  totally  different  character  some  miles  higher 
up,  where  under  the  shadow  of  Lune  Forest  ic  concentrates  its  rolling 
waters  with  a  greac  and  sudden  rush,  and  hurls  them  headlong  down 
a  descent  of  fifty-six  feet,  with  a  splash  and  a  roar  and  a  thunder 
that  outdoes  Lodorc,  and  rivals  Corra  Linn. 

The  road  having  crossed  the  bridge  at  Winston,  continues  its 
course  northwards,  and  in  a  few  miles  arrives  at

a  pretty  village,  with  an  oM  and  stately  church  possessed  of  a  peal  of 
bells  of  remarkable  sweetness,  the  gifi  of  Mrs.  Rahy  Vane.  Before 
the  death  of  this  lady  there  existed  in  the  people  a  singular  prejudice

against  being  buried  in  any  other  part  of  the  graveyard  than  that 
behind  the  church ;  but  she  directed  that  her  remains  should  be  laid 
m  the  particular  ground  they  so  superstitiously  avoided,  and  thus 
overcame  tbc  ancient  prejudice.  A  moss-grown  gravestone  still 
marks  the  place  where  she  reposes. 

In  the  pari&h  register  ofStaindrop  is  found  tlic  only  known  notice 
of  one  of  the  sieges  of  Raby,  in  the  simple  entry  of  the  burial  of  a 
common  soldier: — "August  27,  1648,  Wiliiam  Joplln,  a  soldier, 
slain  at  the  siege  of  Raby  Castle,  buried  in  this  church." 

Raby  deservedly  ranks  amongst  one  of  the  finest  inhabited  castles 
in  England,  and  in  point  of  antiquity  may  hold  its  own  with  many  ; 
though  as  regards  size  it  must  yield  the  palm  to  Alnwick,  Belvoir, 
and  Warwick,  as  ic  occupies  within  its  walls  but  two  acres  of  land. 
Its  st)*le  is  Gothic,  and  probably  differs  widely  from  the  first 
building  which  was  erected  on  this  spot,  and  which  was  supposed  to 
have  been  a  palace  of  Canute,  the  Danish  king  of  England,  which, 
with  the  manor  of  Staindrop,  was  presented  by  him  to  the  church  of 
Durham.  In  the  year  1379  John  dc  Neville  obtained  a  royal  licence 
**  to  maJte  a  castle  of  his  manor  of  Raby,  and  to  embattle  and 
crenclate  its  towers." 

The  property  appears  to  have  come  to  the  Nevilles  by  marriage  ; 
one  Geffrey  de  Ncvil,  ancestor  both  of  the  Earls  of  Westmoreland 
and  of  Abergavenny,  having  married  Emma,  daughter  atid  heiress  of 
Bertram  dc  Bulmcr,  a  great  baron  Jn  the  north,  to  whose  family 
Raby,  at  some  very  early  period,  belonged  \  atid  there  is  no  doubt 
that  the  letters  "  B  B,"  which  were  carved  in  one  of  the  stones  in 
a  tower  of  very  early  and  pculiar  construction,  stood  for  the  initials 
of  this  baron.  Ranulph  dc  Nevile  is  mentioned  as  holding  Raby  and 
the  eight  adjoining  lordships  in  1331,  of  the  Prior  of  Durham,  by  the 
yearly  rent  of  four  pounds  and  a  stag  ;  and  his  son  Ralph  had  many 
disputes  with  this  holy  member  of  the  Church,  about  the  offering  of 
the  stag  for  his  tenure,  and  the  degree  of  entertainment  which  he 
claimed  on  Holy  Rood  day.     An  old  song  was  founded  on  this  as  a 


lament   for 
follows  ; — 


Robert  de  Nevile,  his  great  grandfather,   running   as

he  attended  the  king,  Edward  III.,  to  France.  He  was  once  taken 
prisoner  by  the  Scots  in  a  skirmish  at  Berwick,  and  conveyed  a 
prisoner  to  Dunbar.  He  ended  a  somewhat  stormy  life  in  1368, 
and  lies  at  rest  in  Durham  Cathedral.  He  was  succeeded  In  the

second  was  created  Lord  Furnival,  in  right  of  his  wife,  the  heiress  of 
William  Lord  Furnival ;  and,  of  their  two  daughters,  the  youngest, 
Maud,  married  Sir  John  Talbot,  from  whom  descended  the  Earls  of 
Shrewsbury.  The  eldest  son  of  John,  Ralph  de  Neville,  was 
advanced  to  the  title  of  Earl  of  Westmoreland,  and  was  constituted 
Karl  Marshal  of  England  in  1399,  the  Hrst  year  of  the  reign  of 
Hcniy  IV.  He  was  twice  married  ;  Hrst  to  Margaret,  daughter  of 
Hugh,  Karl  of  St'ifford,  and  secondly  to  Joan,  Lady  Ferrers, 
daughter  of  John  of  Craunt,  Karl  of  Lancaster ;  and  U'as  the  fiichcf 
of  twent)'-two  children,  who,  by  their  high  alliances,  made  him 
ancestor  of  some  of  the  proudest  families  in  England.  It  wouW 
lead  us  too  far  from  Raby  to  follow  all  these,  but  we  nuy  mention  in 
passing  that  from  his  second  son  descended  the  celebrated  Earl  of 
Strafford,  while  from  tbc  tenth,  who  was  made  Karl  of  Salisbury, 
came  the  "  King  Maker,"  Earl  of  Warwick.  The  eleventh 
became  Lord  Fauconbcrg,  the  twelfth  Lord  Latimer,  and  the  thir- 
teenth Lord  Abergavenny ;  and  through  his  daughters  he  became 
fethcr-in-law  to  the  heads  of  the  houses  of  Dacrc,  Scroop,  Buck- 
ingham, and  Northumberland.  This  great  Eatl  Marshal  was  suc- 
ceeded by  his  grandson  as  second  Earl,  and  he  by  his  nephew 
Ralph,  who  had  only  one  son,  who  died  in  his  Cither's  lifetime. 
The  fourth  Karl,  Ralph,  married  a  daughter  of  the  Duke  of  Buck- 
ingham, and  they  had  sixteen  children,  of  whom  the  eldest, 
Henry,  succeeded  his  father  in  the  family  honours,  and  was  the 
fiither  of  Charles,  the  sixth  and  last  Earl  of  Westmoreland,  who,  in 
1569,  engaged  with  the  Karl  of  Northumberland  in  the  ill-fated 
rebellion  in  the  North. 

The  unfortunate  Mary  Stuart,  who,  by  her  beauty,  had  so  warmly 
enlisted  the  sympathies  of  the  Duke  of  Norfolk  in  her  cause, 
through  him  called  also  to  her  support  his  brother-in-law,  the  Earl 
of  Westmoreland,   who   had    married   the    Duke's  sister.      They

received  witli  great  eagerness  the  secret  messages  which  the  impri- 
soned Queen  had  conveyed  to  thctn,  and  wich  the  support  and  assist- 
ance of  many  other  powerful  Catholic  gentlemen,  set  on  foot,  in  the 
month  of  October,  1569,  the  insurrection  which  turned  out  so  dis- 
astrous to  most  of  its  Instigators,  Karly  in  that  month  an  unusual 
ferment  was  visible  in  the  counties  oi  York,  Durham,  and  North- 
umberland ;  2nd  the  Court  was  alarmed  with  rumours  of  revolt 
which  could  never  be  traced  to  any  authentic  source.  The  rebel 
Earls  kept  their  projects  well  veiled  till  Northumberland  became 
aware  that  whispered  doubts  of  his  loyalty  were  aOoat,  and  he  at 
once  repaired  to  Branccpcih,  a  castle  of  note  in  Durham,  where 
the  Earl  of  Westmoreland  was  silently  asiiembling  his  retainers;  and 
in  November  the  baiincr  of  insurrection  was  unfurled. 

Thtir  design  was  ta  march  to  Tutbury,  liberate  Mary  by  force  of 
arms,  and  compel  Elizabeth  to  acknowledge  her  as  heir  to  the 
English  crown.  But  the  crowds  whom  they  had  expected  to  flock 
to  their  standard  were  too  wary  openly  to  join  such  a  hazardous 
scheme ;  many  Catholic  gentleman,  instead  of  listening  to  their 
stirring  appeal  to  their  religious  principles,  were  swayed  by  pru- 
dence and  worldly  wisdom,  and  joined  the  royal  banner,  under  the 
Earl  of  Sussex.  On  Cliflord  Moor  the  rebels  mustered  their  forces 
and  held  a  council  of  war.  Uncertainty  and  alarm  filled  the  hearts 
of  the  leaders.  Nonhumberland,  ever  wavering,  was  now  anxious 
to  withdraw  ;  and  fuially  they  agreed  to  abandon  the  design  of  libe- 
rating the  captive  queen,  though  still  to  maintain  the  iwint  of  the 
succession.     Upon  this  they  withdrew  to  Raby,  with  7000  men* 

High  days  followed  for  Raby.  The  clanlc  of  arms  resounded  by 
day  ajid  night  in  its  lofty  halls,  and  the  strictest  watch  was  kept  by 
warder  and  sentinel  oi\  the  walU  and  towers  j  for  Barnard  Castle 
was  then  held  by  Sir  George  Bowes  on  the  Royalist  sJde,  and  a  suc- 
cessful attack  on  Raby  involved  no  less  than  Tower  Hill  and  the 
scaffold  for  the  two  haughty  earls.  In  the  Baron's  Hall,  or  the  High 
Hall,  as  it  is  now  called,  were  assembled  seven  hundred  knights  who 
followed  the  fortunes  of  the  Nevillcii,  and  In  that  hall — a  noble  room, 
a  hundred  and  thirty  feel  Inng  by  forty-five  wide — they  held  high 
festival,  and  like  the  early  inhabitants  of  ancient  Greece  mentioned 
by  Thucydldcs  (i.  6),  or  the  knights  in  Branksomc  Tower,

From  Raby  the)'  scut  out  a  force  to  take  posfc&sion  of  Hartlepool, 
whence  ihey  were  able  to  open  a  communication  with  the  Spanish 
Netherlands.  But  the  Duke  of  Alva  gave  them  buc  Hide  assistance, 
cither  in  men  or  money.  Sussex,  meantime,  had  been  calmly  waiting 
in  his  quarters  at  York  till  the  Earl  of  Warwick  could  join  him,  with 
his  nimy  of  il,O00  men.  And  as  soon  as  he  began  to  march  false 
reports  preceded  him  of  hU  numbers,  which  by  the  time  they  reached 
the  cnrs  of  the  rebels  had  magnified  ihe  royal  forces  to  30,000  suoi^. 
Then  all  idea  of  resistance  was  abandoned ;  the  foot  soldiers  dis- 
pcrsed  \  the  horse,  about  500  in  number,  galloped  hard  and  fast  to 
Naworth  Castle,  and  fled  thence  across  the  Border  to  the  fasmctses 
of  Liddesdale  ;  whence  the  Earl  of  Wcstmorclaitd  escaped,  a  ruined 
and  a  broken  man,  to  the  Netherlands,  where  he  was  received  by 
ilic  Spaniards,  and  remained  till  his  death,  at  a  great  age,  in  1 5S4. 

The  royal  vengeance  fell  heavily  on  Raby  and  the  country  round, 
far  and  wide,  and  in  cvtxy  village  the  poorer  classes  were  abandoned 
to  martial  law,  and  many  were  hanged  at  the  caprice  of  the  wild 
soldiery.  The  Bishop  of  Durham  writes,  that  "the  sheriff  cannot 
procure  juries,  the  number  of  oft'endcrs  is  so  grcte  tliat  few  innocent 
arc  left  to  trie  the  gillie." 

So  in  gloom  and  rebellion  ended  the  line  of  the  Nevilles  at 
Raby  ;  and  all  their  vast  possessions  were  confiscated  1^  the  Crown, 
and  the  earldom  forfeited.  The  estates  remained  with  the  Crown 
till  the  reign  of  James  I.,  who  caused  an  '■'■  inquisition  to  be  made  of 
the  manor  and  casilc  of  Raby  with  appendages,  together  with  other 
manors  \  **  and  he  granted  them  to  the  citizens  of  liondon,  in  trust 
for  sale,  firom  whom  they  were  purchased  by  Sir  Henry  Vane,  in 
161 1.  He  w.is  possessed  of  great  riches  and  power,  and  stood  high 
in  the  favour  of  the  Court  and  of  his  Sovereign,  who  bestowed  on 
him  the  honour  of  knighthood  at  the  early  age  of  seventeen  ;  he  was 
also  greatly  distinguished  by  that  monarch's  son,  Charles,  then 
Prince  of  Wales,  who  condescended  to  borrow  from  htm  large  sums 
of  mone)',  and  also  made  him  security  for  considerable  amounts 
borrowed  from  others,  which  he  repaid  in  land  and  cmolumeni 
when  he  came  to  the  Crown. 

Sir  Henry  Vane  does  not  appear  to  have  spent  much  of  his  time 
in  this,  his  northern  home  ;  for  in  1631  we  find  him  superintending 
the  reparations  of  St.  Paul's,  in  London  ;  and  in  the  same  year  he 
went  to  Germany,  as  ambassador  to  Christian  IV.,  King  of 
mark,  with  powers  also  to  negotiate  a   iirm  peace  and  confed

with  Gustavus  Adolphus  of  Sweden.  After  his  return  to  Eng- 
land, his  foreign  diplomacy  having  been  somewhat  unsuccessful, 
though  his  conduct  secured  him  the  full  approbation  of  his  Sove- 
reign, he  was  created  "principal  Secretary  of  State  tor  life."  He 
held  m-iny  high  offices,  both  in  the  royal  household  and  in  the 
government;  and  in  1633  we  find  him  nobly  entertaining  his 
Majesty  at  Raby,  where  he  rested  on  his  way  to  Scotland,  and  form- 
ing one  of  the  royal  escort  as  far  as  Edinburgh,  where  the  English 
suite  yielded  up  their  attendance  to  the  Scots,  and  Sir  Henry  Vane 
returned  to  Raby  Castle. 

But  great  positions  raise  great  jealousies !  and  that  great  mis- 
fortunes often  spring  from  insignificant  sources,  is  proved  by  many  a 
historic  tragedy,  and  by  none  more  clearly  than  by  the  present  case.  To 
quote  Lord  Clarendon  : — "  The  Earl  of  Straftbrd,  with  great  earnest- 
ness, opposed  Sir  Henr)'  Vane's  being  made  Secretary  of  State,  and 
prevailed  for  a  month's  delay  -,  and,  about  the  same  time,  being  to  be 
nude  Earl  of  Strafibrd,  would  have  a  new  creation  of  a  barony,  and 
took  the  title  of  Baron  Raby,  a  house  belonging  to  Sir  Henty  Vane, 
and  an  honour  he  made  an  account  should  belong  to  himself,  which 
was  an  act  of  the  most  unnecessary  provocation  that  I  have  known, 
and,  I  believe,  was  the  chief  occasion  of  the  loss  of  his  head." 

Certain  it  is  that  from  this  period  Sir  Henry  Vane  and  his  son  both 
swore  the  fiercest  revenge  against  the  Earl  of  Strafford  ;  but,  though 
they  succeeded  in  bringing  him  to  the  scaffold,  that  very  result  caused 
Vane  himself  to  lose  the  high  dignities  he  had  enjoyed,  and  to  be- 
come a  tool  almost,  in  the  hands  of  the  Parliamentarians,  against  the 
nronarch  he  had  served  so  long  and  faithfully.  For  the  part  he  took 
in  the  prosecution  of  the  Earl  offended  the  King  so  deeply,  that  he 
deprived  him  of  the  office  of  Secretary  of  State,  though  the  patent 
by  which  he  held  it  granted  it  to  him  for  life.  And  a  Parliamentary 
proclamation  stated  that  the  '*  putting  out  of  the  Earl  of  North- 
umberland, Sir  Henry  Vane,  and  others,  from  their  several  places 
and  appointments,  were  ample  proofs  that  the  King  was  instigated  by 
evil  and  Papistical  counsellors." 

It  docs  not  appear  that  Vane  took  open  part  against  the  King,  but 
continued  in  London  without  acting  in  the  rebellion.  In  the  summer 
of  1645,  his  casile  of  Raby  was  surprised  by  the  King's  forces  raised 
by  Sir  George  Vane,  his  second  son;  and  the  account  given  of  the 
siege  in  "The  Kingdom's  Weekly  Intelligencer,"  for  July  8  oi  that 
year,  is  as  follows :-—

"  Upon  the  Lord's  Day»  June  29,  by  five  of  the  clock  in  the  morning, 
120  hoisc  and  dragoons  came  out  uf  Bolton  Castle,  and  scaled  the 
walls  of  Raby,  where  the  drawbridge  was,  and  surprised  Mr«l 
Singlettm  and  Mr.  William  Allison,  servants  of  Sir  Henry  Vane, 
in  their  beds.  Whereupon  Sir  George  Vane  raised  the  countrir 
forthwith  -y  both  horsemen  with  arms,  and  the  foot  also,  well  armed, 
in  all  about  300  men.  Upon  Monday  the  30th,  at  twelve  of  the  clock, 
they  came  to  Standrup,  about  a  quarter  of  a  mite  from  the  ca&tlc. 
There  came  also  six  troops  of  horse  out  of  Yorkshire,  which  Colonel 
Wasdale  and  Major  Smithson  commanded.  They  were  all  there  by 
seven  o'clock  at  night.  After  their  coming  they  rescued  many  cattle 
which  the  rebels  were  driving  into  the  castle  \  they  took  fifty-five 
horses  from  them,  with  the  loss  of  one  man,  some  of  them  worth 
20/.  a-piece.  Nc;ct  day  they  took  nineteen  more,  so  that  they  have 
now  but  sixty  left,  which  will  not  be  kept  long.  Sir  Francis  Liddale 
is  commander-in-chief  of  the  enemy.  The)'  arc  destitute  of  bread 
vcr)'  much,  which  it  is  hoped  will  make  them  yield  within  few 
days."  The  Sc6^i  Dovi  for  the  1st  of  August,  triumphantly 
announces  the  surrender  of  the  castle  to  Sir  George  Vane.  "Raby 
Castle  is  yielded  up,  the  officers  to  march  away  with  arms,  and  the 
common  soldiers  with  their  lives  upon  their  legs;  they  may  put  dicit 
hands  in  their  pockets  if  they  will.  They  left  300  good  arms  behind 
them;  powder  and  other  ammunition,  good  store." 

Sir  Henry  Vane  sur\'ivcd  his  once  much-loved  master  Charles  I. 
by  five  years,  dying  in  1654,  when  he  departed  this  life  at  Raby,  in 
the  69th  year  of  his  age,  **  in  universal  contempt,"  accordittg  to 
L^rd  Clarendon,  **  and  not  contemned  more  by  any  of  his  enemies 
than  by  his  own  son,  who  had  been  his  principal  conductor  to 
destruction."  This  refers  to  his  second  son.  Sir  George,  who  was 
ancestor  of  the  late  Frances  Anne  Vane  Tempest,  Muchioness  oi

His  elder  brother.  Sir  Henry,  succeeded  his  father  at  Raby,  having 
previously  indulged  his  wandering  and  unsteady  disposition  by  a  short 
residence  in  New  England,  of  which   he  was  made  Governor;  but 
displeasing  his  subjects,  and  being  as  little  pleased  with  them,  he  soon  ^ 
returned  to  England,  reformed,  and  was  made  treasurer  of  the  luvy^^^H 
The  fees  of  that  office  at  that  time  amounted  to  little  less  than^^ 
30,000/.  per  annum.     This  he  declared  too  much  for  a  subject,  and 
gave  up  his  patent  to  the  parliament,  retaining  the  modest  sum  of

we!l>  who,  when  he  abruptly  dismissed  his  Parliament  in  1653,  took 
Sir  Henry  Vane  by  the  cloak,  and  said  to  him  in  hot  wrath— "Thou 
art  a  juggling  fellow."

His  wisdomi  however,  availed  him  but  little  at  last,  for  at  the 
Restoration  he  was  looked  on  as  a  dangerous  person,  and  being  put 
on  his  trial  for  high  treason, was  found  guilty;  and  receiving  sentence 
of  death  on  June  11,  i&Oi,  was  executed  on  the  14th  uf  the  same 
month.  He  was  beheaded  on  Tower  Hill,  where,  as  Bishop  Burnet 
says,  "he  died  with  so  much  composedness,  that  it  was  generally 
thought  the  Government  had  lost  more  than  it  had  gained  by  his 
death."

Grammont's  magnificent  coach  fiom  Paris,  built  on  a  new  principle, 
and  which  he  had  no  sooner  presented  co  the  King  than  a  battle  royal 
arose  between  the  two  fairest  of  the  many  fair  ladies  of  that  brilliant 
court  as  to  which  should  enjoy  the  first  drive  in  it  round  Hyde  Park. 
On  that  occasion,  however,  the  Duchess  of  Cleveland's  haughty 
temper  had  to  bow  before  the  rising  sun  of  the  charms  of  Miss 
Stewart  (afterwards  Duchess  of  Richmond),  who  gained  the  day  and 
the  drive. 

History  docs  not  say  whether  Lady  Grace  inherited  the  charms  or 
the  temper  of  her  grandmother,  **■  La  Belle  Castlemaine  ;  "  but  she 
was  the  mother  of  three  sons  and  three  daughters.  One  of  the 
former  was  the  hu&baiid  of  the  Mrs.  Raby  Vane,  daughter  of  Bishop 
Kyre,  whom  we  have  mentioned  earlier  in  our  records  in  connection 
with  the  churchyard  of  Staindrop.  The  grandson  of  the  first  Earl  of 
Darlington  and  of  Lady  Grace  was  raised  in  1827  to  the  Marquisate 
of  Cleveland,  and,  further  created  in  1833,  Baron  of  Rahy  and  Dulce 
of  Cleveland  ;  he  was  the  father  of  the  fourth  and  present  duke,  who 
is  better  known  by  his  former  title  of  Lord  Harry  Vane. 

Raby  Castle  Is  finely  situated,  standing  in  a  park  of  great  extent, 
richly  wooded,  and  enlivened  by  herds  of  led  and  fallow  deer,  who 
graze  together  in  apparent  amity.  The  approach  to  the  Castle  from.- 
the  south  winds  almost  round  the  building;  and  the  view  of  it  fiwi 
this  side  is  very  picturesque,  the  ancient  towers  being  reflected  in  the 
clear  Surface  of  a  piece  of  water  which  washes  the  base  of  the  em- 
brazured  wall,  and  is  the  remains  of  a  fosse  or  moat,  which  probably 
at  one  time  surrounded  the  whole.  The  building,  which  is  founded 
on  a  rock,  is  irrcg;ular  and  extensive,  but  the  towers  are  a]]  square. 
One,  a  very  ancient  one,  is  called  Bulmcr*s ;  thus  retaining  the 
memory  of  the  Barons  of  Bulmer  J  another  bears  the  name  of  Jaite, 
so  called  after  the  countess  of  Ralph  Neville,  first  Earl  of  Westmore- 
land, and  illegitimate  sister  of  Henry  IV.  ;  while  the  large  tower  on 
the  north,  containing  the  very  handsome  state  apartments,  is  called 
Clifford's.  A  great  deal  of  fine  tapestry,  some  of  it  in  curious  blue 
and  gray  colouring,  hangs  on  the  walls  of  the  corridors  in  this  part ; 
and,  by  drawing  it  back  in  one  place,  a  mysterious-looking  ajid  very 
lurrow  stone  staircase  is  revealed. 

The  outward  area  of  the  Castle  has  but  one  entrance  by  a  gate  oti'^ 
the  north  side,  guarded  and  flanked  by  machicolated  towers.  In  the 
inner  area  there  is  an  ancient  double  gate  and  covered  way,  looking 
to  the  west,  strengthened  by  two  square  towers  standing  out  from  tt

id  neither  standing  straight  with  the

where  caji  two  strtcily  parallel  lines  of  wall  be  found.  An  exterior 
passage  from  one  to  the  other  of  these  cowers  is  fbrmed  by  a  hanging 
gallery  over  the  gate.  And  here  are  also  carved  three  shields  of  the 
Neville  arms,  gartered.  Through  this  gateway,  a  court,  and  another 
gateway,  carriages  pass  straight  into  the  Gothic  hall ;  and  the  cfPect  of 
driving  in  amongst  chairs,  tables,  and  between  twf>  fireplaces  is  most 
curious  and  striking,  and  must  be  a  tiial  to  the  nerves  of  some  horses. 
The  hall  is  very  handsome,  supported  by  pillars,  and  hiving  a  fine 
arched  ceiling:  great  doors  give  admission  and  egress  to  the  carriage, 
which,  in  passing  out,  rolls  directly  under  the  narrow  chapel,  which 
adjcMns  the  High  Hall,  the  magniAcent  apartment  where  the  seven 
hundred  knights  feasted  who  held  of  the  Nevilles.  It  is  now  hung 
with  large  pictures,  chiefly  family  portraits,  and  furnished  with  great 
taste  and  richness  i  the  fire-screens  are  made  of  a  material  fabricated 
in  Russia  for  the  priests*  robes,  so  massively  embroidered  in  silver 
and  gold  as  to  present  an  almost  solid  effect.  7'he  drawing-rooms 
and  saloons  on  the  ground  floor  are  large  and  pk-asant,  their  windows 
looking  southwards,  towards  the  Yorkshire  hills. 

Alany  of  the  ground-floor  apartments,  too,  arc  full  of  interest. 
Some  have  recesses  for  beds,  windows,  and  passages  formed  out  of 
the  walls,  nine  feet  in  thickness,  and  in  some  pillars  are  left  to 
support  the  ceiling.  The.  kitchen,  one  of  the  very  oldest  parts,  Is  a 
lofty  square  of  thirty  feet,  with  three  chimneys,  and  an  oven  fifteen 
feet  wide,  now  converted  into  a  cellar.  A  gallery  goes  all  round  it 
in  the  thickness  of  the  wall,  in  front  of  the  windows,  which  arc  very 
high  up;  and  at  the  window  on  each  side  of  the  great  fireplace, 
five  steps  descend  towards  the  kitchen,  but  end  at  a  considerable 
height  from  the  floor ;  so  that  it  is  difficult  to  understand  their  use. 
At  the  side  opposite  the  grate  the  steps  descend  to  the  floor,  and 
are  wide  enough  for  three  people  abreast.  The  stone  passages  are 
vaulted,  gloomy,  and  twisting,  and  carry  one  back  forcibly  to  olden 
times  1  so  that  it  requires  an  effort  to  recall  one's  mind  from  the 
proud  days  of  the  Nevilles,  and  return  to  the  evcry-<Iay  thoughts  of 
modern  life.

THE  GRAVE  OF   FLORA   MACDONALD. 

URING  a  recent  sojourn   in    the   hospiubic   and  com-' 
modious  mansion  of  New  Kingsburgh,  in  the  Island  of 
Skye,  a  scries  of  plotsant  excursions  was  brought  to  i 
close  by  a  visit  to  the  grave  of  Flora  Macdonald. 

Having  traversed  the  desolate-looking  strath  or   vallc)',  ihruugl 
which  Prince  Charles  passed  while  on  his  way  from  Mucksdac  to 
old  Kingsburght  and  having  drank  from  the  well  at  which  he  also 
refreshed  himself  during  that  perilous  joumcyi  it  only  remained  focj 
us  to  visit  the  last  resting-place  of  her  who  had  been  the  partner  o| 
his  wanderings.     We  were  told,  ete  starting  on  our  pilgiimage,  tl: 
the  view  from  KtJmuir  churchyard  was  very  beautiful^  and  wc  fuunJ^ 
it  so — more  beautiful  even  than  we  bad  been  led  to  imagbib     We 
were  also  given  to  believe  that  there  was  nothing  to  sec  at  Flontj 
Macdonald's  grave,  but  here  wc  ivtre  misinformed.     There   Kaf 
something  to  see,  and  to  be  indignantly  trodden  down  under  foot 
whtn  seen— viz.,  a  complete  harvest  of  nettles,  some  three  or  four 
feet  ui  height. 

We  did  not  turn  away  in  mute  disgust,  as  did  a  descendant  of  \\ 
once  all-powerful  family  of  Drummond,  who  came  finom  ever  the 
seas  to  visit  the  graves  of  his  fair  and  hapless  ancestresses,  at  the 
sight  of  the  jntrrttii  \>\\xc  stones  in  Dunblane  Cathedral,  Wc  rather 
gave  vent  to  our  indignation  in  words,  addressed  to  the  worthy 
clergyman  of  the  parish,  who  had  accompanied  us  thither.  He  fully 
entered  into  our  feelings,  and  expressed  his  regret  that  as  yet  no 
monument  had  been  erected  to  '■'•  Flora's  memory  }  "  adding^  **  there 
was  some  talk  a  short  time  ago  about  having  one  put  up,  but  the 
idea  has  never  been  carried  out." 

Once  left  by  this  intelligent  **■  cicerone"  to  wander  about  at  plea- 
sure, wc  took  our  seat  on  a  neighbouring  stone,  aiid  abandoned  outi 
selves  to  reflections  suited  to  the  occasion. 

Our  thoughts  naturally  dwelt  on  her  whose  lowly  and  uncarcd-fbc 
grave  we  were  at  that  moment  contemplating.  We  thought  of  her 
heroic  determination  to  save  Charles  Edward,  and  of  her  unsurpassed 
courage  and  noble  disinterestedness  throughout  her  perilous  under- 
taking. Wc  pictured  to  ourselves  her  first  meeting  with  the  royal 
fugitive  in  the  lonely  hut  in  Benbecul3|  her  after-arrest,  not  being 
provided  with  the  necessary  passport,  her  being  taken   before  the

commandant  of  the  militia,  her  joy  on  discovering  him  to  be  her  own 
step-father,  her  obtaining  the  requisite  safe  conduct  for  herself,  Neil 
Macltcachan>  and  her  maid,  Uttty  Barks — the  kind-hearted  com- 
mander futly  aware  the  while  of  the  real  sex  and  rank  of  the  gigantic 


Hibernian,  whom  he  was  recommending  to  his  wife  as  being  a  most 
excellent  tpinntr  of  fax.  Mentally,  wc  follow  the  richly- freighted 
bark  on  its  perilous  voyage  from  South  Uist  to  Skyc ;  wc  sec  the 
enemies*  bullets  ^ling  thickly  around  it ;  we  hear  Flora  heroically 
refusing  to  screen  herself  from  danger  so  long  as  the  prince  continued 
to  expose  himself  to  it ;  wc  behold  the  little  group  once  more  on 
land  i  we  sympathise  with  Flora  in  her  alternate  hopes  and  fears — 
the  latter  predominating  when  Bttty  Burie's  awkward  management 
of  her  feminine  garb  calls  forth  remarks  from  unitiatcd  observers — 
the  former  in  the  ascendant,  when  friendly  hearts  imd  liands  arc  ready 
to  aid  her  Jn  her  heaven-appointed  task.  At  length  the  eventful 
three  dayt  arc  over,  and  that  task  which  was  begun  in  fear  and 
trembling  ends  in  joy  and  thanksgiving.  In  a  wayside  inn,  near 
Portree,  the  prince  bids  farewell  to  her  without  whose  timely  aid  he 
must  have  perished.  "They  part  to  meet  aigatn  at  St.  James's." 
So  ht  said,  and  so  they  hoped  j  but  fate  ordained  otherwise.  Parted

there,  they  never  met  again.     From  that  day  their   paths  in   UEe 
divei^cd  widely  asunder. 

Arrested  by  a  detachment  of  militia,   headed   by   Maclcod,  ofj 
Talislccr,  shortly  after  pirting  from  Charles  Edward,  Flora  Mac- 
donald  was  conveyed  on  board  the  Furnace  Bsmh,  commanded  by 
Captain  Ferguson,  and  taken  to  Lcith.     Arrived  there,  she  was  re- ' 
moved  to  Commodore  Smith's  sloop."     While  under  his   care  she 
was  treated  with  the  greatest  respect  and  kindness.     Led  from  place 
to  place,  she  was  at  length  put  on  board  the  Royal  Smtrtign^  then 
lying  at  the  Nore.     This  was  on  the  28th  uf  November.     They 
immediately  set  sail  for  London,  where  they  arrived  on  the  6th  of 
December.     Flora's  destiny  was  the  Tower,  and  thither  she  was 
instantly  conveyed,  when  the  gates  of  that  gloomy   old   fortress,  < 
which  had  already  closed  on  the  forms  of  other  and  more  unfortunate  j 
Jacobites,  opcjicd  wide  to  adniit  the  noble  Highland  maiden  within , 
their  portals. 

In  the  Tower  she  remained  until  the  July  of  the  following  year. 
Meanwhile  she  was  visited  by  the  noblest  in  the  land,  who  vied  with 
each  other  in  admiring  and  extolling  the  heroic  part  she  had  played 
in  regard  to  the  unfortunate  Charles.  Amongst  others.  Prince  Fre- 
derick of  Wales  honoured  her  with  a  visit  ;  and  so  delighted  was  he  j 
with  her  noble  bearing  and  singular  amiability  of  character,  thtti 
he  made  strenuous  efforts  to  procure  her  liberation.  This  happily 
he  succeeded  in  effecting,  as  also  that  of  Macdonald,  of  Kings- 
burgh,*"  Malcolm  Macleod,  of  Galltngal,  and  of  Calum  Mac  iaiit 
MluCy  who  acted  as  guide  to  Prince  Charles  during  his  journey 
from  Rasay  to  Kllroorie,  In  StrathaJm,  Flora's  companions  in  cap- 
tivity, and  for  whose  freedom  she  generously  interceded  with  the 
noble  prince,  when  jjifurmcd  by  him  that  she  herself  was  no  longer 
a  prisoner. 

Discharged,  without  being  asked  a  single  [{uestion,  Flora  Mac-| 
donaJd  exchanged  the  gloomy  Tower  for  the  more  congenial  atmo- 
sphere of  Lady  Primrose's  hospitable  mansion  of  Dunnipace.     Here 
she  remained  for  .1  brief  space  ere  she  returned  to  her  native  islc.

*'  FtORA    MACDONALD. 

"It  is  recorded  by  Mr.  Chambers^  in  bJs  '  History  of  the  Rebel- 
lion of  1745,' that  this  celebrated  woman,  after  her  liberation  from 
confinement,  for  having  aided  the  escape  of  Prince  Charles  Edward^ 
commonly  called  the  Young  Prcrcndcr,  was  received  into  the  house 
of  the  Dowager  Lady  Primrose,  where  she  was  visited  by  crowds  of 
the  fashionable  world,  who  paid  her  such  homage  as  would  have 
turned  the  heads  of  ninety-nine  out  of  a  hundred  women  of  any  age, 
country,  or  condition.  On  her  mind  they  produced  no  effect  but 
that  of  surprise.  *  She  had  only,'  she  thought,  *  performed  an  act  of 
common  humanity ; '  and  the  author  adds,  *  Lord  Mahon  mentions, 
but  I  do  not  know  upon  what  authority,  that  a  subscrijition,  to  the 
amount  of  1500/.,  was  raised  for  her  i.i  London.'

and  which  had  been  sold  as  waste  paper  I)  have  fallen  into  my  hands, 
throwing  some  tight  on  the  subject  of  the  subscription  alluded  to;

^*  Unfortunately,  the  discharge  was  not  found  with  the  foregoing

the  amount  in  the  aggregate  which  Flora  received  from  Lady  Prim-

When  the  period  of  Flora  Macdonald's  stay  with  Lady  Primrose 
had  drawn  to  a  close,  that  kind-hearted  and  enthusiastic  Jacobite 
furnished  her  with  a  post-chaise  to  convey  her  to  Scotland,  and 
desired  her  to  name  any  friend  she  chose  for  her  escort  cbhber. 
Flora's  choice  alighted  on  the  faithful  Malcolm,  who  evinced  much 
exultation  on  learning  her  clcctiou.  *^  Ha  !  ha  !  "  he  shouted.  **  I 
came  up  to  London  to  be  hanged,  and  now  I  am  returning  in  a  post- 
chaise  with  Miss  Flora  Macdonald  !  " 

Once  more  in  her  native  isle.  Flora  was  married  in  the  month  of 
November  to  Allan,  son  of  Mr.  Macdonald  of  Kingsburgh,  who, 
at  the  time  of  his  marriage,  resided  at  Flodigarry,  in  the  parish  of 
Kilmuir.  On  the  death  of  her  husband's  father,  his  son  suc- 
ceeded him,  and  so  our  heroine  became  the  mistress  of  Kings- 
burgh. Rendered  poor  through  a  succession  of  bad  harvests^ 
assisted  doubtless  by  that  genuine  hospitality  so  characteristic  of  the 
inhabitants  of  the  north,  this  worthy  pair  sought  to  improve  their 
fortunes  by  emigrating  to  North  Carolina,  Previous  to  doing  so, 
however,  they  received  a  visit  from  Dr.   Johnson,  who  thus  ex-

presses  himself  in  favour  of  Flora  Macdonald^  when  speaking  of  her 
to  Mrs.  Thrale  : — 

"  She  was  of  a  pleasing  presence,  and  elegant  behaviour.  She  told 
me  that  she  thought  herself  honoured  by  my  visic  \  and  I  ani  sure 
that  whatever  regard  she  bestowed  upon  inc  was  liberally  repaid.  If 
thou  likcst  her  opinions  thou  wilt  praise  her  virtues." 

It  is  truly  gratifying  to  find  the  learned  Doctor  for  once  laying

"  By-and-by  supper  was  served,  at  which  there  appeared  the  lady 
of  the  house.  Miss  Flora  Macdoiiald  (then  Mrs.  Macdonald).  She 
is  a  little  woman  of  gentei:!  appearance,  and  uncommonly  mild  and

The  reader  will  be  amused  to  learn  that  a  fortnight  previous  to 
the  worthy  doctor's  appearance  at  ICingsbui^h,  Flora  had  heard  on

as  that  in  which  the  prince  slept  during  his  brief  sojourn  under. 
Kingsburgh's  hospitable  roof — and  the  fact  of  the  you»£  bud's . 
being  honoured  with  the  very  bed  once  occupied  by  the  royal 
fugitive—"  that  bed  vrith  its  tartan  curtains  " — is  well  worthy  of 
perusal. 

During  the  Macdonalds*  stay  in  North  Carolina,  a  dreadful  civic 
war  broke  out,  in  which  Flora's  husband  took  an  active  part.  With 
many  others  of  his  countrymen,  he  joined  the  Royal  Highland  Emi- 
grant Regiment,  or  84th,  embodied  in  1775.  This  regiment  was 
defeated  by  the  provincial  forces  in  February,  1776,  and  large  parties 
of  men  were  scattered  over  the  colony,  apprehending  the  royalists 
and  disarming  the  Highlanders.  Amongst  the  names  of  tho«e  com- 
mitted to  Halifax  gaol,  we  find  that  of  Macdonald  of  Klngsburgh. 
Obtaining  his  release,  he  afterwards  served  with  his  regiment  in 
Canada.  After  undergoing  many  and  severe  hardships,  at  the  close 
of  the  war  be  returned  to  Scotlatid  on  half-pay. 

The  vessel  in  which  Flora  and  her  husband  sailed  was  attacked  by 
a  French  privateer,  and  an  action  took  place. 

Disdaining  the  Frenchmen's  bullets,  as  she  had  done  those  fired 
on  the  little  bark  which  bore  herself  and  the  prince  over  the  High-

lantl  seas,  the  dauntless  Flora  appeared  on  deck,  and  by  her  pru 
counsels  and  calm  demeanour  incited  the  sailors  to  fresh  acts  of 
heroism.  Her  feet  slipping  in  the  blood  of  the  slain,  she  fell  and 
broke  her  arm.  Still  she  evinced  no  desire  to  retreat.  Maintaining 
her  position  on  deck  to  the  last,  she  showed  herself  In  the  thickest  of 
the  fight,  and  kept  alive  the  courage  of  her  countrymen  by  assuring ' 
them  of  victory. 

Once  more  wc  find  this  incomparable  woman  an  inhabitant  of 
Skye,  which  she  never  again  quilted.  In  company  with  her  husband, 
and  surrounded  by  a  numerous  family,  she  tematned  quietly  at] 
Ktngsburgh. 

Flora  was  the  mother  of  seven  children,  who  arrived  at  maturity, 
besides  others  who  died  in  infancy.  Five  of  these  were  sons,  andj 
two  were  daughters.  Her  sons,  imbued  with  no  small  portion  of  the 
heroic  fire  which  burned  so  fervently  in  their  mother's  breast,  entered 
the  army  and  became  distinguished  officers.  Her  daughtcis,  as  was 
to  be  expected,  became  officers'  wives.  Ann,  the  eldest,  married 
Major  Alexander  Macdonald  ;  Frances,  the  second  daughter,  became 
the  wife  of  Lieutenant  iMacdonald,  of  Cuiderach.  Not  one  of  her 
family  is  now  alive.  Flora  herself  arrived  at  old  age,  and  retained 
to  the  last  that  vivacity  and  cheerfulness  which  distinguished  her  in 
her  youth. 

She  died  on  the  5th  of  March,  1 790,  and  was  interred  in  the  church- 
yard of  Kilmuir.  Her  funeral  was  attended  by  upwards  of  three 
thousand  persons  of  all  ranks  and  ages.  This  immense  concourse 
were  liberally  served  with  refreshments,  many  ol  them  having  come 
an  immense  distance  to  pay  the  last  tribute  of  respect  to  the. 
deponed. 

A  fine  marble  slab  was  brought  from  Exeter  by  Charles  and  James 
Macdonald,  to  be  placed  over  their  mother's  (Flora's)  grave.  This 
was  in  Accordance  with  the  wishes  of  their  eldest  brother,  Lieut.- 
Coloncl  John  Macdonald,  who  in  his  will,  dated  Fort  Marlboro',  tl 
1st  of  November,  1794,  gives  the  following  instructions  respecting 
it: — 

"  I  wish  my  surviving  brothers  to  take  the  trouble  {grati/jing  it 
must  be)  of  seeing  a  plain  tomb-stone  erected  over  the  grave  of  their 
parents  —  a  marble  slab  —  and  is  to  have  the  following  epitaph 
inscribed  :• — '  Uitderneuh  are  deposited  the  remains  of  Captain  Allan 
Macdonald,  and  of  his  spouse,  Flora  Macdonald,  a  name  that  will  be 
mentioned  in  history ;  and  if  courage  and  fidelity  be  virtues,  men-

tioncd   with   honour.      She  was  a  woman  of  middle  suture,  sufi 
features,  gentle  manners,  and  elegant  presence' 

*•  So  wrote  Dr.  Samuel  Johnson." 

Unfortunately,  the  tablet  was  broken  in  its  transit,  and  no  portion 
of  it  now  renuins,  admiring  tourists  having  carried  away  its  minutest 
fragments  to  preserve  as  mt:meiitus  of  thL'ii  visit  to  this  interesting 
spot.    The  inscription  ffir/// inscribed  on  the  tablet  was  as  follows: — 

*•  In  the  family  mausoleum  at  Kilmuir  lie  interred  the  remains  of 
the  following  members  of  the  Kingsburgh  family,  viz.  :  Alex. 
Macdonald,  of  Kingsburgh ;  his  son  Allan;  his  sons  Chstrtes  and 
James  ;  his  son  John  ;  and  of  two  daughters  ;  and  of  Flora  Mac- 
donald,  who  died  In  March,  1790,  aged  sixty-eight — a  name  that 
will  be  mentioned  in  history — if  courage  and  fidelity  be  virtues,  men- 
tioned with  honour — ^  she  was  a  womnn  of  middle  stature,  soft 
features,  elegant  presence,  and  gemlc  manners.' 

**  So  wrote  Johnson," 

The  remains  of  Flora's  last  surviving  daughter,  Ann,  wife  of 
Major  MacdonaJd,  now  repose  by  her  side. 

"Life's  ficful  fever  over,"  the  graves  of  the  saved  and  of  the 
saviour  are  separated  by  seas  ;  and  the  difference  existing  between 
their  last  rcsttng-ptaces  is  as  great  as  was  the  diversity  of  their  con- 
ditions in  life. 

In  the  Cathedral  Church  at  Frascati,  the  heir  to  Scotland's  ancient 
crown  reposes  in  a  coffin  of  cypress-wood,  wherein  lie  the  ctowii, 
sceptre,  aJid  sword,  with  all  the  other  Insignia  of  his  race,  white  she, 
who  rescued  him  from  a  traitor's  fate,  steeps  in  a  secluded  Highland 
churchyard — her  grave  neglected  and  well-nigh  forgotten.  Even 
now  considerable  hesitation  is  expressed  as  to  which  of  the  graves  is 
hcr's,  and  which  that  of  her  daughter's.  A  costly  marble  monu- 
ment, in  St.  Peter's,  at  Rome,  tells  the  curious  visitor  that  he  was 
the  son  of  a  king.  Htr  virtues,  unexampled  heroism  and  fidelity 
arc  unrecorded  even  on  a  simple  stone.  This  should  not  be.  Why 
should  not  Scotland  erect  a  memorial  column  to  the  memory  of  one 
who  so  richly  deserved  it  ^  Beautiful  indeed  is  the  site  for  such  a 
memento,  and  far  from  undistinguish^ible  wouLiI  it  be  in  its  Highland 
solitude.  Dwellers  on  distant  isles  would  behold  and  appreciate  this 
graceful  tribute  to  the  noble  departed.  While  speeding  over  the 
blue  Atlantic,  the  emigrant  from  Skyc  would  lovingly  gaxc  on  that 
column,  and  the  sight  of  it  would  awaken  memories  soul-stirring  to 
the  Gael — memories  for  ever  honourable  to  the  island  which  gave

The  one,  Flora  bold,  Sorid  and  somewhat  theatrical  looking  \  tbe 
other,  the  woman  of  "  elegant  presence,'*  and  *'  retiring  gentle

The  tarcan  scarf,  white  rose,  and  more  than  ruddy  complexion  of 
the  Oxford  portrait  induced  many  of  the  visitors  to  the  Exhibition 
to  decide  in  favour  of  its  originality,  to  the  prejudice  of  its  more 
elegant  companion  i  but  wc  are  happy  to  be  able  to  state  that  the

testimony  in  favour  of  Mrs.  Bedford's  portrnit,  as  the  former  conveys 
merely  the  idea  of  a  healthy  buxom  young  Highland  woman,  amply 
endowed  by  nature  with  strength  and  energy  sufficient  to  achieve  her 
perilous  undertaking  \  while  in  the  latter,  dccidcly  more  poetical

THE    LITTLE    THEATRE 
HAYMARKET. 


IN    THE 


|N  ihc  year  1720  one  John  Potter,  a  carpenter,  havi 
tiL-comc  Ic&sL-c  of  the  premises  chen  known  as  the  K.ing'l 
Mead  Inn,  in  the  Haymarkct,  expended  byway  of  specu- 
lation some  one  thousand  pounds  in  the  erection  of  a 
theatre,  and  laid  cut  about  live  hundred  pounds  more  in  supplying  it 
with  scenery,  dresses,  and  decorations.  On  its  completion  the  new 
house  was  forthwith  occupied  by  a  company  of  players,  styling  them- 
selves "  the  French  comedians  of  his  Grace  the  Duke  of  Montague," 
and  was  opened  to  the  public  on  the  29th  December,  1720,  with  a 
French  play,  called  "  Ln  Fillc  a  la  Mortc,  ou  Ic  Badaud  dc  Paris." 
For  a  considerable  period  the  fortunes  of  the  theatre  seem  to  have 
been  of  a  very  fluctuating  kind.  It  was  open  but  for  brief  seasons, 
with  a  varying  list  of  entcttainmentf.  The  foreign  actors  could  not 
maintain  their  station  for  more  than  a  fzw  months  at  a  time.  English 
dramatic  performances  were  little  more  attractive,  and  had  to  yield 
occasionally  to  concerts,  Italian  operas  [by  subscription),  rope- 
dancing,  tumbling,  juggling,  fencing,  sword-play,  and  all  kinds  o( 
gymnastic  exhibitions.  After  ten  years  apprenticeship  to  Misfortune, 
however,  the  theatre  began  at  last  to  take  rank  as  a  place  of  diamatic 
eiUcrtainment  and  to  be  open  regularly  during  the  summer  months, 
on  the  closing  of  the  patent  houses.  Certain  of  the  plays  produced 
attracted  the  town  in  a  high  degree.  A  strange  piece,  calleil  "  Hur- 
lothrumbo,  or  the  Supenutural,"  written  by  one  Johnson,  a  dancing- 
master,  from  Cheshire,  enjoyed  a  run  oi  thirty  nights,  the  author 
himself  appearing  as  Lcrd  h'tamt-^  the  chief  character,  dancing,  sirring, 
playing  the  violin,  and  walking  upon  stilts.  He  was  evidently  as  much 
laughed  at  as  laughed  with.  A  similar  piece  of  extravagance,  produced 
in  a  subsequent  season,  and  called  "  The  Blazing  Comet,"  foiled  to 
please  however,  the  public  being  perhaps  a  little  surfeited  with  Mr. 
Johnson's  nonsense.  Among  the  successful  works  produced  about 
this  time  may  be  noted  Henry  Fielding's  "  Author's  Farce,"  **  Tom 
Thumb,"  "  Cirub  Street  Opera,"  "  Letter  Writers,"  &c. 

In  J  733  some  of  the  leading  members  of  the  Drury  Lane  co; 
pany  seceded  from  Mr.  Highmore's  management  of  that  theatre, 
appeared   at  the  Haymarket,  having  fitted    up  and   redecorated  the 
theatre  with  greac  expedition.     They  called  themselves  the  "  Come- 


'om     , 


1 868.]       The  Little  Theatre  in  the  Haymarket. 


"3 


dians  of  His  Majesty's  Revels,*'  their  proceeding  being  probably  sanc- 
tioned bv  Mr.  Charles  Henry  Lee»  then  Master  of  the  Revels.  The 
manager  was  Mr.  Thcophilus  Cibber^  and  tht  entertainments  were 
of  a  more  dignified  kind  thxn  had  thitherto  obtained  at  the  Haymarket. 
It  may  be  noted  that  while  the  Haymarket  was  thus  tenanted  a  per- 
formance was  given  upon  its  boards  for  the  benefit  of  John  Dennis, 
the  critic,  who  had  become  old  and  poor  and  blind,  Pope  magnani- 
mously supplying  a  prologue  upon  the  occasion,  although  it  was 
observed,  that  in  the  course  of  his  verse  the  poet  had  not  refrained 
from  a  gibe  here  and  there  at  his  old  foe.  The  patentees  of  Drury 
Lane  were  enraged  and  embarrassed  at  this  mutiny  of  ihcir  troop, 
and  attempted  to  put  the  Act  of  the  lith  of  Queen  Anne,  respecting 
rogues  and  vagabonds,  in  force  against  the  mutineers.  They  ob- 
tained the  committal  to  Bridewell  of  Harper,  a  good  actor,  the  FalstafF 
of  the  company,  upon  a  justice's  warrant.  He  was  afterwards  baiEcd, 
and  his  arrest  and  imprisonment  were  pronounced  by  the  Court  of 
King's  Bench  to  be  illegal,  on  the  ground  that  he  was  a  housekeeper 
and  enjoyed  a  vote  for  Westminster,  and  could  not,  therefore,  be 
regarded  as  a  rogue  and  vagabond  within  the  meaning  of  the  Act. 
After  a  season,  however,  the  proprietorship  of  Drury  Lane  having 
changed,  the  sccedcrs  returned  to  their  allegiance,  and  the  per 
formanccs  at  the  Haymarket  lost  their  "legitimate  "  character, 
and  reverted  again  to  farce  and  burlesque.  Henry  Fielding  re- 
appeared upon  the  scene  with  a  troop  of  players  mockingly  styled 
"  The  Great  Mogul's  Company  of  Comedians."  Fielding's"  Pasquin" 
was  produced,  and  enjoyed  a  run  of  nearly  fifty  nights ;  while  his 
''  Tumble  Down  Dick,  or  Phaeton  in  the  Suds/'  was  hardly  less 
successful. 

In  1737  came  the  Licensing  Act  (10  George  II.,  chap.  28)  which 
limited  the  number  of  theatres,  and  enacted  that  no  play  or  even 
prologue  or  epilogue  should  be  exhibited  without  tlie  approval  first 
obtained  of  the  licenser.  Some  three  years  before,  Sir  John  Bernard 
had  attempted  to  introduce  in  the  House  of  Commons  a  BiU  for 
restraining  the  number  of  play-houses  and  for  regulating  common 
players,  but  without  success.  The  ministry  had  been  unquestionably 
galled  by  certain  political  strokes  which  Fielding  Had  introduced  into 
his  farces,  but  the  immediate  cause  of  the  act  was  a  scurrilous  piece 
containing  the  grossest  abuse  of  the  king,  queen,  and  the  whole 
court,  which  had  been  oBcred  to  GiBkrd,  the  manager  of  the  theatre 
in  Goodman's  Fields,  and   by  him  shown  to  Sir  Robert  Walpole.

The  bill  WIS  oppo&ec]  bv  Mr.  Pukency  in  the  House  of  Commons, 
while  against  it  in  the  Lords  the  Earl  of  Chesterfield  made  a  r.unoiis 
speech.  ■  "  This  bill,'*  said  his  lordship,  very  happily,  "  is  not  only 
an  encroachment  on  liberty,  but  it  is  liltewiwr  aii  encroachment  oo 
property.  Wit,  my  lords,  is  a  sort  of  property  :  the  property  of 
those  who  have  it,  and  too  often  the  only  property  they  hare  to 
depend  on.  It  is  indeed  but  a  prccari&us  dependence.  We,  ray 
lords,  thank  God!  have  a  dependente  ef  ansthtr  kind.'*  The  bill 
became  law,  however,  and  for  a  time  closed  the  Hajrmarkct  and  also 
the  theatre  in  Goodman's  Fields.  The  first  licenser  of  phys,  under 
the  Lord  Chamberlain,  was  Mr.  William  Cbetwynd,  with  a  salaiy  of 
400/.  a  year.  A  deputy  was  allowed  him  with  a  salary  of  aoo/.  a 
year.  The  deputy  was  a  Mr.  Odcll,  who,  in  1719,  had  been 
nwmagcr  of  the  Goodman's  Fields*  Theatre. 

In  1738  a  French  company  of  comedians  opened  the  theatre,  under 
the  authority  of  the  Lord  Chamberlain.  The  public  was  indignant. 
An  arbitrarv  act  of  Parliament  had  driven  native  actors  from  the 
stage  which  was  yet  to  be  free  to  foreign  adventurers.  An  oppo- 
sition was  organised  ;  the  house  was  crowded  at  an  early  hour. 
Two  Westminster  justices,  Reveil  and  Manning,  were  present  to 
preserve  order.  The  audience  joined  in  sinking  the  **  Roast  Beef  of 
Old  England,**  in  a  lusty  chorus,  loudly  applauding  their  own  efforts. 
Justice  Devcit  dcnounce<l  this  proceeding  as  riotous,  and  publicly 
stated  that  it  was  the  king's  command  that  the  play  should  be  acted ; 
that  Colonel  Pultcncy,  with  a  company  of  the  guards,  was  in  attend- 
ance to  assist  in  maintaining  the  king's  authority,  and  that  he  muse 
read  the  proclamation,  after  which  all  offenders  would  be  made 
prisoners.  The  curtain  drew  up  and  discovered  the  French  actors 
standing  between  two  files  of  Grenadiers,  with  their  bayonets  fixed, 
and  resting  on  their  firelocks.  The  pit  rose  and  appealed  to  the 
justices,  demanding  the  reason  of  such  arbitrary  measures,  and 
asserting  [hat  the  audience  had  a  legal  right  to  manifest  their  dtdike 
of  any  play  or  player.  The  justices  ordered  the  troops  from  the 
stage.  The  performances  then  commenced  -,  the  comedy  beii^ 
**  L'Enibarras  dcs  Richesses."  But  the  voices  of  the  actors  were 
drowned  by  the  cries  and  catcalls  of  the  audience.  An  attempt 
made  to  execute  a  dance  was  rendered  abortive  by  busfae!$  of  peas 
being  Hung  upon  the  stage,  which  rendered  capering  very  unsafe 
indeed.  Finally  the  curtain  was  lowered — like  the  strikii^  of  a 
Sag — and    the    triumph    of  the    audience   was  complete.     "  I   wiU

venture  to  sajr,**  writes  Mr.  Victor,  a  witness  of  the  sceiie>  **  that  at 
no  battle  gained  over  the  French  by  the  iminonal  iVlarlbornugh  the 
shoutings  could  be  more  joyous  than  on  this  occasion."  The  mob 
were  so  excited  that  they  cut  the  traces  of  the  coaches  of  the  French 
and  Spanish  ambassadois,  who  h.id  been  pre&ent^  2nd  otherwise 
insulted  ihcm.  Mr.  Victor  records  his  regret  for  this  excess: 
"  but  what  elw,"  he  asks,  "coulJ  be  expected  nt  a  time  wheu 
several  of  our  own  poor  players  were  in  jail  for  debt,  being  deprived 
of  their  livelihood  by  the  late  act  of  Parliament.  Was  that  a 
juncture  for  a  company  of  French  strollers  to  appear  by  autho- 
rity?" 

For  some  years  the  Ilaymarket  was  occasionally  occupied  by 
Macklin,  Theophilus  Cibber,  and  others,  and  performances  were 
given  either  under  a  temporary  licence  or  by  ingeniously  evading  the 
penalties  imposed  under  the  act  Thus  one  of  the  advertisements 
of  the  time  ran  thus : — *'  At  Cibbtr's  Academy^  in  the  Maymarket, 
will  be  a  concert,  after  which  will  be  exhibited  (^ratii)  a  rehearsal, 
in  form  of  a.  play,  called  Romeo  and  Juliet."  In  174-3,  Garrick  and 
others  seceding  from  Fleetwood's  management  of  Drury  JLane,  en- 
deavoured to  obtain  a  licence  for  the  Haymarket,  but  the  Lord  Clum- 
bcrlain  was  deaf  to  their  petition.  In  1744,  Macklin,  excluded  from 
Druiy  Lane,  opened  the  Haymarket  for  the  performance  of  his  pupils. 
He  endeavoured  to  wean  them  from  the  artittcial  manner  of  speaking 
which  had  for  a  long  time  peruined  to  the  stage.  *'  It  was  his 
manner  to  check  all  the  cant  and  cadence  of  tragedy  ;  he  would  bid 
his  pupils  first  speak  the  passage  as  they  would  in  common  life,  if 
they  had  occasion  to  pronounce  the  same  words  j  and  then  giving 
them  more  force,  but  preserving  the  same  accent,  to  deliver  them  on 
the  stage."  It  was  in  this  year  that  the  famous  Mr.  Samuel  I-ootc 
first  trod  the  boards.  The  play  was  "  Othello,"  preceded  by  a 
concert,  *'  the  character  of  Oihetls  by  a  gentleman,  his  first  appear- 
ance on  the  stage."  The  bills  announced  that  the  character  of 
OtheUa  would  be  "new  dressed,  after  the  custom  of  his  country," 
and  that  no  money  would  bo  taken  at  the  doors,  nor  any  person 
admitted  but  by  printed  tickets,  which  would  be  delivered  by  Mr. 
Macklin  at  his  house  in  Bow  Street,  Covent  Garden.  In  1745  a 
peremptory  order  of  the  Lord  Chamberlain  put  an  end  for  a  time  to 
the  dramatic  representations  at  the  Haymarket. 

Two  years  later  Feme  was  issuing  invitations  to  hi";  friends  to 
drink  "a  dish  of  chocolate"  with  him,  at  noon,  at  the  Haymarket.

Dake  of  M*'*'**g«*<'  and  other  wks  of  the  diy,  which  attracted  an 
ovcrloariaf  boose.  The  advertisements  seated  that  after  many 
sacpraang  fan  of  legerdcniain,  a  conjuror  would,  on  the  stage  and 
B  sighc  of  tke  andknce,  conpress  himself  into  a  quan  bottle,  and

tke  victims,  owing  ^utte  as  much  to  their  own  astounding  credulity 
as  to  the  conjuror's  clcTcmess. 

Fooce's  fall  frcaa  his  borse  in  1766,  while  on  a  visit  at  Lord  Mcx- 
koraagk'a,  after  1  foolish  boast  of  his  skill  as  an  equestrian,  led  to 
results  very  fortunate  for  him.  It  is  true,  his  leg  was  broken  and  in 
tke  end  was  amputated :  for  the  rest  of  his  life  he  was  doomed  to 
halt  about  on  a  limb  of  cork.  But  much  sympathy  was  expressed 
on  account  of  his  accident,  and  tlie  Duke  of  York  obtained  for  him  a 
patent  to  erect  a  theatre  in  the  city  and  liberties  of  Westminster!  ^ 
to  exhibit  plays  there  from  the  15th  of  May  to  the  1 5ch  of  September 
in  each  year  during  his  natural  life.  In  Anthony  Pasquin's  **  Life 
of  Edwin,  the  Actors"  it  is  suggested  that  Foote  unneccssatilf 
endured  amputation  in  order  to  secure  this  patent,  but  the  stoiy  is 
simply  incredible.      Foote  now  bought  the  lease  of  the  theatre 


L

Potter's  executors,  and  greatly  enlarged  and  improved  the  building, 
by  udding  to  it  the  adjoining  premises.  He  continued  to  entertain 
the  public,  both  in  his  capacities  of  author  and  actor,  for  some  ten 
years,  when  he  transferred  his  interest  in  the  theatre  and  patent, 
and  his  property  in  his  dramatic  works,  to  Mr.  George  Colman,  for 
an  annuity  of  1600/-  Footc  only  lived  to  receive  one  half-year's 
annuity  however.  Upon  Footc's  death,  Mr.  Colman  obtained  a 
renewal  of  his  lease  for  a  term  of  years  and  a  continuance  of  the 
royal  licence. 

During  the  winter  months  the  Haymarlcct  was  open  for  a  variety 
of  entertainments,  of  a  kind  sufScicntly  irregular  to  avoid  collision 
with  the  patent  winter  houses.  Kor  three  seasons  Mr.  G.  A. 
Stevens  gave  his  "  Lecture  on  Heads."  "  Catches  and  Glees," 
under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Arne,  were  given  in  1770.  At  one  time, 
Footc's  "  Frimitivc  Puppet  Show  "  was  performed :  a  comic  and 
satiric  entertain  mem  received  with  great  favour  by  ihv  public.  In 
the  preliminary  lecture,  proving  the  antiquity  of  puppets  and  their 
superiority  over  flesh  and  blood  performers,  the  audience  were  asked 
to  take  warning  from  the  example  of  a  country  girl  who,  being 
brought  by  her  friends  to  ihe  puppet  show,  could  not  be  convinced 
that  the  puppets  were  not  players.  *'  Being  carried  the  succeeding 
night  to  one  of  the  theatres,  it  became  equally  difficult  to  satisfy  her 
that  all  the  players  were  not  puppets."  In  1777  the  "Italian 
Fantoccini"  represented  comedies,  dancing,  and  pantomimic  trans- 
formations; and  in  1780*39  presented  Dibdin's  entertainment  of 
"  Pasquin's  Budget ;  or,  a  Peep  at  the  World," 

Upon  the  destruction  of  the  Opera  House  by  fire,  in  1789,  the 
Italian  operas  were  fur  one  season  given  at  the  Haymarket  Theatre. 
In  1793,  when  Drury  Lane  was  in  course  of  rebuilding,  the  Hay- 
market  was  opened  in  the  winter  under  virtue  of  the  Drury  Lane 
patent.  It  was  during  this  occupation,  on  the  occasion  of  a  royal 
visit,  that  fifteen  people  lost  their  lives,  being  trampled  on  aitd  suff(>- 
cated,  owing  to  the  rushing  of  the  crowd  to  the  pit  entrance  down  a 
steep  flight  of  steps  ;  many  others  being  very  severely  injured.  On 
the  death  of  Mr.  Colman,  in  1794,  the  theatre  became  the  property 
of  his  son,  previously  known  as  George  Colman  the  Younger. 
Subsequent  dealings  with  the  property  led  to  a  ten  years'  Chancery 
Suit;  and  eventually  the  theatre  became  vested  in  Mr.  Morns  (Mr. 
Colman's  brother-in-law)  and  Mr.  Winston,  proprietor  of  the  Rich- 
mond Theatre,  and  afterwards  one  of  the  managers  of  Drury  Lane,

who,  in  1820,  determined  upon  rebuilding  and  greatly  improving  the 
premises. 

The  new  theatre  (the  present  building)  W3S  designed  by  Nash,  and 
erected  on  a  plot  of  land  a  few  feet  southward  of  the  old  house,  at 
an  expense  of  18,000/.  The  building  was  completed  in  less  than 
four  months,  and  will  accommodate  more  than  1800  visitors.  It  wis 
first  opened  to  the  public  on  the  4th  of  July,  1821. 

Until  the  destruction  of  the  patent  rights  and  the  establishment  of 
free-uade  in  theatrical  amusements  by  the  passing  of  the  Act  of  the  6th 
and  7th  Victoria,  the  Haymarket  was  t^en  only  during  the  summer 
months.  Many  improvements  were  made  in  the  house  from  time  to 
time  by  its  managers.  When  Mr.  II.  Webster  concluded  his  manage- 
ment  of  the  theatre,  in  1853,  after  a  tenancy  of  sixteen  years,  be 
stated  to  the  audience  that  among  the  changes  he  had  made,  were  the 
widening  of  the  proscenium  eleven  feet,  and  the  introduction  of  gas 
for  the  fee  of  500/.  a-ycar,  and  the  presentation  of  the  centre 
chandelier  to  the  proprietors.  Further,  the  lessee  stated  that  he  had 
expended  12,000/.  in  improvements,  had  paid  6o,OOd/.  in  rent,  and 
80,000/.  to  dramatic  authors.  Since  Mr.  Webster's  retirement  iHe 
theatre  has  been  under  the  control  of  Mr.  J.  B.  Buckstone,a  and  is  now 
open  all  the  year  round,  the  staple  entertainments  being  comedy  and 
farce,  with  occasional  recourse  to  burlesque  ajid  pantomime  during 
holiday  time. 

Among  the  most  famous  performers  whom  the  Haymarket  has 
been  the  means  of  introducing  to  the  I^ndon  public  may  be  noted  ; 
Foote,  Palmer,  Henderson,  Edwin,  J.  Bannister,  Mathews,  EUlston, 
Liston,  Young,  Terry,  Tokcly,  Miss  Fenton  (afterwards  Duchess  of 
Bolton),  Mrs.  Abington,  and  Miss  Farren,  afterwards  Countess  of

ANECDOTES   OF   TME    BASTILLE. 

OR  ages  before  the  momentous  day  when  (lie  French  Revo- 
lution first  signally  declarcc!  itself  by  Ihe  storming  of  the 
Bastille,  the  State  prisons  and  royal  paJaces  of  ["ranee  were, 
historically  speaking,  so  closely  connccte<l  with  each  other, 
that   most  palace  records,   and    especially  those   recently 
chronicled  in  tlic  pages  of  Sylvanus  Urban,  possessed  corresponding 
prison  memorials,  some  of  the  most  remarkable  of  which  will  presently 
here    appear.       First,  however,    it    must    be  observed    that   not  only 
during    the    Middle   Ages    were    many   French    fortific<l   palaces  and 
State   prisons    identical,  but  even   after  the    pleasant  chateau  of  tlic 
Tuileries  had  risen  to  view  in  the  time  of  Catherine  dc  Metlicis,  and 
when,  more  than  a  century  later,  the  erection  of  that  of  VersaillcB  had 
splendidly  illustrated  the  reign  of  Louis  XIV, — nay,  even  to  the  end  of 
the  long  reign  of  Louis  XV. — there  were  still  many  illustrious  men  and 
women  standing  near  the  throne  of  France  who  had  their  own  personal 
prison  memories, — memories,  which  they  themselves  will  presently  here 
recount,  of  their  oni]  several  lives  in  the  liastille. 

Not  always,  howrever,  were  such  memories  of  an  essentially  or  exclu- 
sively dreary  character,  for  the  Bastille,  or  vast  fortified  enclosure,  long 
and  square  in  form,  contained  governor's  house,  treasury,  chapel,  and 
six  other  prison  towers  f%*arying  from  seven  to  two  stories  each),  bewdes 
that  grim  couple  which  frowned  down  on  the  Porte  St.  Antoine — 
towers  circular  outside,  but  ■with  octagonal  chamhers  and  cells  within. 
On  its  own  side  of  ponderous  drawbridges,  massive  walls,  and  iron  bars 
bristling  with  spikes,  the  Bastille  had  not  only  its  court)'ards  (the  prin- 
eipal  one  a  hundred  and  twenty  feet  long  by  eighty  wide),  but  a  courtly 
world  of  its  own,  which  was  almost  as  inaccessible  to  the  {anailU  of  the 
capiul  as  that  of  Versailles.  It  had  its  pLoccs  of  recreation  not  less 
than  its  dungeons;  its  feasts — *nd  those  at  the  king's  expense — not  less 
than  its  solitary  fasts ;  its  pure  loves,  not  less  than  its  foul  legends,  the 
latter  revived,  or  sometimes  invented,  by  political  malcontents  and  spies 
(such  as  De  Renneville,  who  had  formerly  written  himself  into  Bastille 
notoriety,  is  now  supposed  Lo  liave  been),  which  legends  were  rife 
amongst  the  illiterate,  who,  knowing  nothing  more  of  its  anecdotes, 
shuddered  at  the  outward  aspect  of  the  great  State  Prison  of  Paris- 
Surrounded  by  a  ditch  about  a.  hundred  and  twenty  feet  wide  (whicli 
ditch  was  always  dry  except  when  the  Seine  overflowed,  or  unusually 
long  and  heavy  rain  had  fallen),  tlie  Bastille  was  also  protected  by  an 
outer  wall  sixty  feet  high,  upon  the  top  of  which  lao  a  wooden  gallery, 
with  balustrades. 

Along  this  gallery,  called  "the  Rounds,"  walked  sentinels  night  and 
day,  who,  every  quarter  of  an  hour,  had  to  answer  the  '*  Qui  twy  i "  of 
Bcrgeants  and  officers  responsible  for  their  vigilance,  and  to  ring  a  bell 
at  stated  intervals,  the  solemn  sound  of  which,  being  audible  within  tlic 
fort,  must  have  echoed  as  a  knell  of  despair  in  the  heart  i>f  any  prisoner 
dreaming  of  the  possibility  of  escape.  To  each  sentinel,  at  or  after  sun- 
I       set,  were  gi>'en  a  certain  number  of  copper  coins,  marked  officially  and 


620

[Mav^i 


bored  with  holes ;  these  coins  he  had  to  place,  one  aAer  the  other,  at 
fixed  periods  of  the  night,  on  tlie  point  of  an  instrument  from  which  they 
were  dropped  into  a  padlocked  box  below ;  and  on  the  opening  of  this 
box  in  the  morning  hy  the  iia/major,  the  sentinel's  diligence  was  tested 
by  the  number  of  coins. 

Black  as  the  cannon  bctonfpng  to  them  were  the  outer  towers  ©r* 
the  Bastille,  and  impervious,  seemingly,  to  the  light  of  day  were  they ; 
for,  alihouah  their  massive  walls  were  here  and  there  pierced  by  narrow 
windows,  these  loopholes  but  served  to  remind  the  outside  beholder  of 
grim  weapons  of  destruction  lutliing  behind  them.  Beyond  "the 
Rounds  "  stood  a  mighty  bastion,  which  at  one  time  was  planted  with 
trees.  The  I*orte  Samt  Aiiloine,  near  it,  was  a  chief  entrance  to  the 
city  of  Paris  j  and  in  the  neighbouring;  convent  of  Saint  Antoine  many 
miserable  women,  rescued  Jrom  the  pe&tileniial  byeways  of  ancient 
Paris  by  Peter  de  Roi&si,  a  priest  and  great  social  reformer  of  that 
capital,  A.D.  I  iSi,  not  only  found  a  refuge,  but  tlie  means  also  of  future 
social  redemption.  Peter  dc  RotSH  lived  in  the  tuae  of  King  Philip 
Augustus,  and  it  was  that  monarcli  who  first  "  imprisoned  Paris  in  a 
circular  chain  of  huge  towers,  high  and  solid,"  whilst  cnl^rgir^  his 
capital  by  the  eruclosure  of  several  surrounding  ullages  within  its 
fordtied  walls.' 

A  financier,  named  Gerard  de  Poissy,  paid  down  'one  thotisand 
francs  in  silver  for  the  operation." 

By  the  advice  of  Bernard,  a  hermit  in  the  forest  of  Vincennes,  the  King 
bad  lately  expelled  all  Jews  from  France,  and  converted  their  s^xagogues 
into  churches.  Not  only  strong  forts,  but  houses,  built  one  storey 
uiwn  another,  then  rose  to  view  within  "  the  wall  of  Philip  Augustus ;" 
and  such  was  thenceforth  the  rapid  growth  of  the  city,  that  m  1367 
Charles  V.  enlarged  its  enclosures.  The  dimensions  and  blackness  of 
the  Bastille,  chief  of  the  many  forts  of  Paris,  increased  with  time.  Its 
a^ect  at  one  period  was  strangely  contra.^lcd  with  the  Alhambra-like 
palace  of  the  Toumclfcs,  which  stood  not  far  from  it  on  the  left,  near 
the  Porte  Si.  Antoine;  and  a  bastion,  parallel  with  that  before  mentioned, 
served  as  a  garden,  the  smiling  aspect  of  which  was  more  in  keeping 
with  the  Palais  dcs  Toumelles,  than  with  the  mass  of  enormous  lowers, 
described  by  a  French  chronicler  .is  perfectly  black,  growing,  as  it 
were,  one  into  anotlier,  and  looUiig  aa  if  bound  together  by  their

the  foot  of  the  formidable  slnicture,  you  may  perceive  llic  Porte  SU 
Antoine,  almost  buried  between  two  towers."  Beyond  the  ToumcUes

and  flowers,  forming  a  fair  bndscape  of  garden-grounds  and  royal  parks, 
in  the  midsi  of  which  was  distinguishable,  by  its  labyrinth  of  groves 
and  «-alks,  the  famous  Daedalus  garden  which  Louis  XI.  gave  to 
Coicticr,  the  Doctor  and  astrologer  whose  observatory  rose  above  the 
labyrinth,  like  a  great  isolated  column,  and  in  it  subtile  science  worked 
m)-stcriously.     Afterwards  this  5i>ot  was  called  the  Place  Royalc. 

In  1478  a  mighty  and  ominous  sound  echoed  through  i'aris;  for  a 
cannon,  cast  by  Jean  Maugrc  of  Tours,  was  then  fired  on  trial  ai  the 
Bastille.  Previously,  in  the  reign  of  Charles  VII.,  who  owed  his  crown 
to  Jeanne  d'Arc,  bombs  are  said  to  have  been  first  used  in  France,  and 


with  such  success,  that  from  the  Rastille  a  ball,  weighing  five  hundred 
pounds,  is  declared  to  have  reached  the  bridge  of  Charenlon. 

In  the  reign  succeeding  that  of  Charles  VI  I.  tlie  prison  of  the  Bastille 
was  sometimes  used  as  a  roynl  palace  in  jirefcrence  to  the  "Ijoxwik  ;  for 
Louis  XI.,  the  "scourge  of  the  human  rare,''  knew  that  the  Rastille  was 
better  fortified  than  the  Louvte,  and  when  on  his  visits  to  Paris  felt 
safer  from  the  vengeance  of  his  subjects  in  the  former  than  the  latter 
chateau.  In  fact,  the  favourite  residence  (PIcssis  les  Tours)  of  this 
monarch,  who  is  said  to  have  imbibed  the  blood  of  young  children  in 
order  to  correct  the  acrimony  of  his  own  hlood,  was  a  fortress  covered 
with  iron  spikes  and  mth  gates  defended  by  bastions.  Around  this 
palace-prison,  night  and  day,  a  guard  of  four  hundred  archers  kcjit  watch, 
with  orders  to  fire  on  any  one  who  should  dare  to  approach  without  first 
making  himself  known  ;  and  in  the  interior  court  of  the  castle  were  two 
large  iron  chains,  known  as  Us  fiUttits  du  n>y,  to  which  not  only  cannon 
balls,  but  criminals,  were  fastened,  and  this  often  for  the  roost  trivial 
real  or  supposed  offences.  "The  avenues  which  led  to  this  abode  of

and  caprice  of  a  sanguinary  tyrant — caused  the  wretched  victims  of  his 
roaster's  suspicion  and  revenge  to  be  placed  ;"  and  even  at  the  aost 
happy  period  of  liis  life,  Louis  XI.  was  attended  wherever  he  went  by  % 
body  of  troops  and  a  train  of  artillerj-.  At  a  later  period  of  his  life^whcn, 
if  a  north  wind  blew  some  days  together,  he  commanded  general  procet 
sions  to  Sl  Denis,  and  especiaJ  prayers  for  the  health  of  his  body — ihia 
monarch  was  always  armed  with  a  pike,  which  he  placed  at  the  head  cf 
his  bed  at  nighi,  and  which  a  page  carried  at  his  side  during  the  day. 

No  wonder  tliat,  as  an  abode  for  himself,  this  tyrant  preferred  4e 
Bastille  to  the  Louvre,  for  "  it  was  a  safer  retreat,  in  which  Monsieur 
Louis  of  F'rancc  could  say  his  prayers."  At  the  Bastille,  in  the  chamber 
occupied  by  Louis  XL,  "  no  description  of  ordinary  furniture  was  lo  be 
seen ;  neitlicr  benches,  nor  trestles,  nor  fomis.  nor  6ne  stools  ;  there 
was  only  one  easy  arm  chair,  a  very  magnificent  one,  decorated  with 
long  silken  fringe  and  with  gold-headed  nails ;  the  wood  of  it  was 
jiatnted  with  rosL-s  on  a  red  ground,  and  its  seat  was  of  red  morocco. 
The  soleness  of  this  chair  testified  that  one  person  alone  was  entitled  to 
be  seated  in  that  rhnmbcr."  It  was  by  order  of  the  tyrant  who  occupied 
that  chair,  guarded  by  "men-at-arms  ponderous  with  steel,"  that  the 
celebrated  Wooden  Oigc  was  fixed  in  one  of  the  towers  of  the  Bastille. 
This  cage,  which  is  said  to  have  replaced  another  like  it,  was  "of  very 
fine  heart  of  onk,  with  heav)-  beams,  joists,  and  rafters,  measuring  inside 
nine  feet  long  by  eight  broad,  and  seven  feet  high  between  the  planks ; 
morticed  and  bolted  with  great  iron  bolts." 

Few,  if  any  captives  of  that  cage,  whether  or  not  deprived  beforehoTKl 
of  reason,  survived  to  tell  the  dark  talc  of  their  woes  ;  but  certain  it  is 
that  two  fearful  and  inqui»torial  forms  of  suffering  long  survived  in  the 
Bastille — water  and  the  broHequins.  If  sentenced  to  the  former,  a  man, 
placed  on  a  trcssd,  and  chained,  both  hands  and  feet,  to  a  wall,  was 
forced  to  gulp  down  water  from  a  horn,  inserted  between  his  teeth  by 
the  bourreau,  until  the  weight  of  the  liquid,  pressing  upon  the  stomach, 
caused  mtolcrable  suffering. 

This  torttire  was  for  men  only ;  but  women,  also,  had  their  share  ia 
the  brodtquins,  under  sentence  of  whicli  Uie  captive,  both  liands  chained, 
was  seated,  both  legs  being,  meantime,  rigidly  cosed  betwixt  wooden 
planks,  which,  by  cords  attached  to  them,  were  drawn  together,  tighter 
and  tighter,  as  the  inquisitorial  examination  proceeded.  For  the  avoid- 
ance, however,  of  mortal  consequences,  it  was  customary  for  a  surgeon 
and  also  a  physician  to  Iw  present  on  these  occasions;  and  in  later 
da>s,  when,  a  prisoner  of  the  Itostillc  was  condemned  to  death,  a  secular 
priest  (not  one  ordained  for  the  usual  servicesofihc  chapel  belonging  to 
the  fortress)  was  suffered  to  be  in  attendance,  although  brief  was  die 
interval  between  the  sentence  and  its  execution. 

Notwiihsunding  all  this,  however,  it  is  quite  certain,  as  some  Bastille 
prisoners  will  here  presently  in  their  own  several  accounts  of  themselves 
aifirm,  that  incarccmtion  in  that  State  prison  by  do  means  {aAer  the 
time  of  Ixjuiii  XI.)  necessarily  implied  any  e^cial  cruelty  towacds 
them  on  the  part  of  an  offended  govenmient.  In  fact,  as  we  shall 
sec  in  an  after  |)age,  some  of  these  prisoners  led  lives  of  a  very  peculiar, 
but  ccnainly  not  altogctlicr  unenjoyable  character,  despite  the  instru- 
ments of  inquisitorial  torture  that  were  hanging  on  the  damp  walls  of

prison  or  palace,  in  the  Middle  Ages,  had  "atniosc  as  much  under  the 
ground  as  al}0%-c  il" 

In  the  reign  of  Henry  IV.  the  Due  dc  Sully  was  governor  of  the 
Histille,  and  in  the  adWcc  of  that  minister  the  King  confided,  even  to 
the  rhangc  of  his  religion  ;  for  Sidly,  albeit  a  Protestant  himself,  could 
sec  no  chance  of  calming  the  dreadful  r omraotions  that  con^•ulscd  the 
State  whilst  a  non -conformist  was  011  the  throne.  Rut  even  after  the 
King  went  openly  to  Mass,  and  his  son,  the  miKh-dcsircd  Dauphin,  was 
bom  at  Fontaineblcaii,''  he  still  h.id  cause  I0  write  to  Sully  thus : — 

"  My  friend,  come  and  sec  me,  for  something  has  happened.  ...  I 
would  give  a  great  deal  for  your  company,  for  you  arc  the  only  one  lo 
whom  I  can  open  my  heart.  It  is  not  affected  by  love  nor  by  jealousy; 
it  is  a  State  affair.     Hasten,  come  quickly." 

Formerly,  before  the  sudden  death  of  tlie  "  charmante  Gabrielle  " 
(d'E^trt'es),  it  was  in  licr  he,  the  ro>'al  friend  of  the  Due  dc  Sully,  con- 
fided ;  and,  on  the  eve  of  his  k-aving  her  to  join  the  camp,  he  liad 
written  the  following  verses  :— • 


with  the  refrain, — 


"  Faiiaeet  ina  couronne,

fiut  whenthe  fairGabrielle  was  dead.and  Sully  had  induced  hts  sovereign 
to  espouse  Marie  de  M^dicis,  treason  was  lurking  near  the  throne  and  the 
cradle  of  the  Dauphin,  in  iJie  person  of  the  Mardclial  du  Biron.son  of  the 
brave  and  accomplished  Annand  de  Biron,  who,  having  originally  been 
brought  up  as  a  page  to  the  exccltcnt  Queen  of  Navarre,  gtandinolhcr 
of  Henry  IV.,  owed  his  refined  education  to  her.  So  |)rovcrliial  were 
the  intellectual  aoiuiremcnts  of  the  elder  Biron,  that  when  anything 
worthy  of  note  was  heard  at  Court,  "From  Biron's  tablets"  was  the 
common  remark.  But  he  ivas  killed  by  a  cannon  bnll  ( t  <;<)i )  at  Epemai ; 
and  his  son,  though  in  splendour  of  military  achievements  surpassing 
him,  by  no  means  inherited  ehhcr  his  loyalty  or  his  learning.  Bred  in 
the  camp,  and  a  desperate  gambler,  he  is  said  to  have  lost  more  than 
five  hundred  thousand  crowns  in  the  course  of  a  single  year ;  and  to 
other  political  offences  added  that  of  entering  into  a  secret  engagement 
with  the  King  of  Spain  and  the  Duke  of  Savoy,  they  having  stipulated 
to  reward  him  largely  for  services  inimical  to  the  government  of  his  own 
royal  master.  Kcpcalcdiy  did  Henry  IV.  show  himself  lemeul  tow.irds 
thU  younger  Biron  ;  but  when  the  latter  had  ietire<l  lo  his  government 
of  Burgundy,  and  fresh  discoveries  were  revealed  to  die  King  of  his 
treachery.  Sully,  under  pretence  of  recasting  all  llie  cannon  throughout 
Burgundy,  took  upon  himself,  as  Grand  Master  of  the  Ordnance,  to

withdraw  ail  the  artiUer>'  under  Biron's  coraniand,  slopping  the  new 
pieces  which  were  la  replace  it;  and  Biron,  in  company  with  anodia 
conspirator,  ll»e  Comte  d'Auvcrgnc,  was  conveyed  to  the  Bastille. 

Such,  how'cver,  was  the  atuchmcnt  of  the  King  for  iJic  M;u<?chai  de 
Biron,  that  he  resolved  once  more  to  pardon  him ;  and  much  cause  had 
he,  therefore,  to  write  as  above  to  Sully,  governor  of  the  Bastille, 
•*  Hasten,  come  iiuickly."  No  consultation  of -the  monarch  with  Sully, 
however,  could  save  Biron ;  for  by  a  parliamenury  investigation  his 
guilt  was  proved,  and  on  the  last  day  of  July,  1603,  he,  who  for  his 
courage  in  battle  had  been  called  "  the  intrepid,'"  died  the  deatli  of  a 
traitor  in  the  court  of  the  Bastille,— his  calmness  abandoning  him,  it  is 
said,  ere  ihc  executioner  struck  off  his  head. 

Within  the  Baslillc  were  scjiarate  chambers  for  forty-two  State  prisoners, 
and  not  only  was  there  a  double  but  a  treble  door,  with  locks  and 
chains,  accordingly,  to  each  of  these  apartments.  Rigidly  searched  wa« 
cjch  prisoner,  male  or  female,  on  arriving  within  the  fortress  ;  but  not- 
withstanding the  muhiplitity  of  bars  and  bolts,  there  were  some  capti^-es 
wlio,  as  we  shall  presently  sec,  contri^'cd  to  correspond  with  each  other 
in  llie  Bastille.  In  fact  the  Man  with  the  Iron  Mask  himself  was  not  alto- 
getlier  without  his  consolations  there,  although  upon  his  face,  which  was 
supposed  to  have  been  not  less  beautiful  than  his  figure,  no  human  eye 
was  allowed  to  look. 

It  is  now  generally  known,''  or  at  least  believed,  that  this  mysterious 
beinc,  concerning  whom  &o  many  wild  fables  have  been  fabricated,  was 
the  son  of  Cardinal  Mazarin  and  Anne  of  Austria.  Ilut  Queen's 
marriage  was  not  a  liapjiy  one  with  Louis  XIEl.,  who  in  his  last  illness 
said,  "  In  my  present  situation  It  is  my  duty  to  forgive,  but  not  to 
belio'c  her."  Louis  XIV.  is  supposed  to  have  been  kept  in  ignorance 
of  the  fact  of  his  having  an  elder  brother  (to  whom,  though  bom  in 
wedlock,  the  same  royal  |)ntemity  as  that  to  which  he  liimself  laid  claim 
could  not,  with  seemmg  probability,  be  ascribed),  until  after  the  death 
of  Mazarin,  when  State  and  family  reasons  necessitated  secrecy  on  his 
part.  For  many  years  the  wearer  of  the  Iron  Mask  had  resided  at  a 
chateau  of  Saint  Margaret's  Isle  in  the  Sea  of  Provence,  and  the 
Marquis  de  Louvois  was  reported  to  have  treated  him  there  with  the 
respect  due  to  royalty  ;  but  when  M.  de  St.  Mars,  governor  of  Pignerol, 
was  made  governor  of  the  Ba.slille  in  1 690,  the  wearer  of  the  Iron  Mask 
was  conducted  by  him  thilhcr,  and  lodged  there  luxuriously,  but  with 
his  face  so  pcrjiclualiy  concealed  that  not  even  had  a  physician  of  tlie 
Bastille,  although  o/lcn  in  professional  attendance  upon  him,  seen  it, 
notwidis Landing  the  fact  of  liis  having  examined  the  slate  of  his  tongue.*

To  explain  thb  anomnly,  it  must  here  be  mentioned  that  the  chin 
piece  of  the  mask  was  provideil  wiih  steeJ  springs,,  which  did  not  impede 
the  action  of  the  wearer's  mouth  in  speaking,  eating,  &c.  The  governor 
of  the  Ristille  seldom  ventured  to  sit  in  presence  of  tlii<i  myKtcrious 
pri&oner ;  and  when  roiulucling  him  Uiitlicr  from  Su^int  Mai^rct's  Isle 
was  he-ird  lo  address  hira  as  "  my  prince." 

It  is  also  said  thai  whil-st  at  the  chatciu  of  Sainte  Marguerite  some 
other  prisoners,  lodged  in  a  chamber  above  that  occupied  by  iJie  wearer 
of  the  Mask,  had  contrived,  by  means  of  an  open  chimney  shaft,  to 
establish  2  conversation  with  him,  and  that  to  their  question  why  he 
obstinately  refrained  from  revealing  to  ihem  the  secret  of  his  extraordi- 
nar)*  position,  he  replied  that  the  revelation  of  that  secret  would  not 
only  cost  him  his  own  life,  but  entail  certain  death  upon  any  human 
being  who  heard  it 

At  the  Itastillc  his  table  was  sen'cd  with  luxury;  in  solitude  he 
amused  himself  there  with  intellectual  pursuits  and  in  playing  the 
guitar ;  but  in  nothing  did  he  seem  to  take  so  much  pleasure  as  in 
selecting,  or  wearing,  cosily  materials  of  finest  fabric — by  which  fact, 
those  who  knew  it  could  not  fail  to  be  reminded  of  Mazarin's  otu/ con- 
cerning Anne  of  Austria,  to  the  purport  thai  no  purgatory  could  be 
worse  for  her  tlun  to  lie  in  coarse  sheets,  so  sensitive  was  her  sense  of 
touch,  'lite  wearer  of  the  Iron  Mask  survived  until  1704,  and  was 
interred,  at  night,  in  the  parish  church  of  Saint  Paul,  under  the  name 
of  Manhiali. 

By  some  it  was  said  that  this  celebralcd  prisoner  of  the  Ristillc  was 
a  disgraced  secretary  of  the  Due  de  Mentone,  but  by  others  it  was 
justly  observed,  that  in  that  case  M.  de  Saint  Mars,  governor  of  the 
Bastille,  would  not  have  treated  him  with  such  marks  of  respect  as  those 
above  mentioned. 

So  intense,  during  the  latter  half  of  the  17th  cenltuy,  was  curiosity 
on  the  part  of  not  a  few  individuals  to  know  the  real  secret  of  the 
Masque  de  Fer,  that  the  second  Marcchal  dc  la  Feuillade  confesses  to 
have  knelt  before  his  dying  faihcrin-law,  M.  dc  Chamillard  (the  last 
minister  of  Anne  of  Austria's  council  to  whom  the  secret  was  confided), 
when  conjuring  him  to  reveal  it ;  but  the  dying  Chamillard  only 
answered  that  it  was  a  Slate  secret,  and  that  he  had  sworn  never  to  let 
it  transpire.     The  oath  was  kept. 

The  elegance  of  figure  wliich  distinguished  the  wearer  of  the  Iron 
Mask,  his  delight  in  personal  adornment,  tlie  almost  morbid  refinement 
of  Iiis  personal  tastes,  and  his  patience  were  remart^ble.  The  beauty 
of  his  countenance,  judging  of  it  fn^m  his  carefully- trimmed  beard 
and  the  fine  texture  of  lus  skin,  was  surmised  ;  but,  nevertheless,  it 
may  have  been,  in  consequence  of  some  disfigurement,  some  hopeless 
deformity  of  feature — a  matter  q^  terrible  importance  to  one  of  his 
birth,  presuming  him  10  have  been  the  elder  brother  of  Louis  XIV. — 
that  his  face  was  hidden  from  human  view.  \{  so,  his  equable 
endurance  of  masked  and  life-long  captivity  is  not  so  much  to  be  won- 

laltcr,  ronunatvl)'  for  himself,  conJil  not  read.  In  lU'lonidiRient  h«  picked  up  the

Kim  »o  sttrodous  a$  it  is  geoenilly  supposed  to  have  been. 

Anoe  of  Ausim,  indeed,  whatever  her  faults,  was  neither  cruel  nor 
wanting  in  maternal  atfection,  as  evinced  by  her  conduct  towardi  her

hy- civil  war,  she  zeoJously  supcrintcmled  the  young  moDaicb's  cdo> 
cation ;  and  tnamfested  anxiety  to  instil  into  lus  mind  principICK 
virtue  and  leligion  \  so  that  if  Louis  XIV.  did  not  fulfil  all  the  ' 
of  a  man  and  a  Christian,  the  failuie  must  not  be  ascnbcd  to  a 
raatcmal  iiutruction.* 

After  tlic  death  of  Mazarin  (a.o.  1661),  Louis  XIV.,  acting  on  the 
advice  of  the  late  Canlinal,  determined  to  place  full  confidence  in  Col- 
berc  and  to  lay  claim  to  the  ministerial  aid  of  that  cetebiate<l  finaodo 
in  dcstn)ying  the  seeds  of  corruption  at  home,  ere  alteropling  to  make 
France  formidahle  abraid  ;  but,  as  a  hrsi  titcp  in  carrying  out  these  pn- 
jccts,  it  was  essential  to  displace  Fouquct,  ihc  notorious  superintendent 
of  the  finances,  whose  mode  of  life  was  one  of  boundless  cxtrai'agaDOc 
and  whose  integrity  there  were  many  serious  reasons  to  suspect.  Fouquet, 
who  had  purchased  for  himself  the  duchy  of  Penthi!;%'re,  and  had  esta* 
blished  for  himself  a  fortified  abode  (in  splendour  sur^ssicg  rajnd 
palaces)  at  Belle-Isle,  was  suspected  of  secret  state  traffic  with  England; 
and — worst  offence  of  all,  with  regard  lo  his  sovereign — was  said  by  sone 
about  the  Court  of  France  to  have  attempted  to  intrude  his  gallant  a^ 
tentions  on  Mademoiselle  <lc  1^  Yalht-re,  who— doubtless,  for  himsdf 
alone— loved  Louis  XIV.,  "  qu'elle  n'abandonua  que  pour  Dieu,  setil 
rival  du  monarque." 

Splendid  were  the/iEf'er  at  which  Fouquct  entertained  the  King  and 
Coun  of  France;  but  one  day  (.September,  1663),  as  he  was  leaving  ihc 
Chateau  of  Kanles,  where  he  had  attended  a  Council,  he  was  arrested, 
and  (after  successive  brief  incarcerations  in  the  Chateaux  d'Angcrs, 
d'.Amboise,  and  Vincennes)  was,  in  the  month  of  June  following,  con- 
veyed to  the  iJaslille,  whence  eventually  he  was  transferred  to  the  citatW 
of  PJgnerol,  where,  afier  many  years'  captivity,  but,  latterly,  ameliorated 
by  the  society  of  some  friends  and  his  family,  he  died. 

In  the  JiastUle,  however,  for  nearly  seven  yean,  languished  the  noble- 
hearted  and  talented  Oe  retlisson,  who,  for  his  advocacy  of  Fonqnct, 
was  imprisoned  there.  Dc  Pellisson  was  the  yoimger  son  of  an  upper 
middlcHilass  Calvinist  family  at  Bezicrs ;  his  literar)-  talents  haviog

bscinateU  by  tiiis  ugly  man.  MaOenioiselle  cle  Scudt^-.  in  the  im- 
perishable  cliimi  of  Pellmon's  character  saw  much  lo  admire,  aud  so 
keenly  did  he  appreciate  tlie  sentiments  of  tliat  by  no  means  beautiful 
but  gifted  authoress,  that  a  friendsJiip  of  (in  those  days)  almost  unex- 
ampled fidelity  was  established  t>etwccn  them,  whicli  fricndsJiip  was 
parodied  by  a  malignant  tnusc  of  the  jieriod  in  verse,  ending  nith  these 
lines : — 

"  S»pj)ho  111!  Ctciiivi'ilcs  ^ppas  ! 
Hoi  jc  nc  m'cn  (itoitiic  p.i:;  ; 
Cat  chocnn  aimc  .son  sctntrlahtc," 

Doubtful,  in  gcncial,  is  the  truth  of  thai  old  proverb,  *'  Mke  likes 
like;"  but  none  the  less  was  the  mutual  sentiment  of  these  two  per- 
sonally plain  bin  gifted  beings  of  such  force  and  constancy  that  it  sur- 
vived the  lest  of  long  absence,  and  triumphed  over  difficulties  seemingly 
insurmountable.  The  black  walls,  the  bars  and  bolts  of  the  Bastille 
were  powerless  to  withstand  it 

"  Je  les  aime  dans  son  ouvrage,"  had  been  said,  or  sung,  of  Made- 
moiselle de  Scud^ry's  eyes,  and  in  her  works  Pellisson  had  learnt  to 
love  them  ;  but  brighter  to  him  must  they  have  gleamed  in  her  letters, 
when,  nt  last,  she  being  at  liberty  in  Paris,  and  he  still  a  prisoner  in  the 
nastiltc,  he  succeeded  in  c-itablishmg  a  daily  correspondence  \vith  her 
through  means  of  his  attendant  or  jailer,  who,  though  supposed  to  have 
been  employed  as  a  government  spy  on  the  actions  of  the  captive  Pellis- 
son, was  so  won  by  the  charm  of  his  manner  that  he  risked  his  own 
safely  in  becoming  the  medium  of  the  correspondence  above  named. 

Mademoiselle  de  Scudt'ry's  letters  to  Pellisson  in  the  Bastille  were 
welcome  to  him  as  none  can  surmise  but  those  who  remember  tlic  face 
of  his  liaving,  during  one  period  of  his  confinement  there,  striven  to  find 
some  exercise  for  his  powerful  mind,  some  amusement  for  the  dragging 
hours,  in  the  taming  of  a  spider,  which  he  had  often  iveahly  watched 
spinning  its  web  in  the  air-hole  of  his  prison  rhambcr. 

For  some  time  afier  Pellisson's  generous  advocary  of  his  former 
patron,  Foiiqucl,  and  before  Mademoiselle  tie  Scud^ry  assisted  hira  with 
means  of  correspondence,  he  was  deprived  of  books,  pens,  and  paper ; 
and  the  only  dislradian  to  his  thoughts  allowed  by  human  authority  was 
the  miserable  one,  and  for  htm,  a  poet,  an  especially  miserable  one,  of 
hearing  ihe bagpipes  played  by  "a  stupid  Basque."  Pellisson  obserx-cd, 
however,  that  at  the  soun<l  of  the  bagpipes  the  spider  issued  from  its 
hole,  in  order  to  make  a  dart  on  flies  which  had  been  place<l  by  his  own 
hand  within  its  reach ;  and,  profiting  by  that  obsen-aiion  during 
many  weary  months,  the  bagpipes  still  wailing  on  from  time  to  time, 
he  persevered  in  usining  the  spider  to  come  nearer  and  nearer  to  him, 
until  at  last  it  would  voluntarily  rest  on  bis  knee  or  his  hand. 

M.  Bezemaux  was  at  that  time  governor  of  the  Bastille.  One  day, 
when  he  entered  Pellisson's  chamber,  and,  as  it  would  seem,  derisively 
asked  him  how  he  spent  his  time,  Pellisson  cjuictly  replied  thai  he  bad 
contrived  to  find  some  amusement  fur  himself^  and  fi^irthwith  encourased 
the  tame  spider  to  approach  and  settle  on  his  hand.  In  anoiber 
moment,  however.  Pellisson  excbimcd,  in  a  voice  of  anguish,  "  Ah  I 
sir,  !  would  rather  that  you  had  broken  my  arm ; "  for  the  goverooi  had 
bruully  thrown  the  spider  on  the  floor  and  crushed  it  under  fooL

With  the  eloquence  of  a  friendship  akin  to,  if  not  aliogethw 
sjTiom-mous    with,   love,    Mademoiselle    rfc  SciiJ^   interceded  with 

f^Jolbert  and  others  for  the  liberty  of  Pdlisson ;   anr!   for  some  tjim; 

'before  the  captive  wns  made  free,  she  succeeded  in  paining  iiermisaan

From  that  time  forth  his  i>o(rit]on  was  amclioraied  by  tributes  of  respcd 
which  brother  authors  and  people  of  distinction  were  allowed  to  psy  to 
him. 

Men  of  letters  were  in  request  at  the  Court  of  Louis  XIV,,  and  at 
Usi,  when  Pellisson  succeeded  in  transmitting  to  that  monarch  a  peti- 
tion, under  the  fantastic  title  of  the  "  Pigconne  dc  Sappho,"  he  was  »ct 
at  liberty,  much  to  the  delight  of  Mademoiselle  dc  Scudcry,  to  whose 
a<h'ice  and  representations  he  afterwards  owed  more  than  one  of  the 

P'  honours  which  then  begaa  to  be  showered  down  upon  him.  Ooe 
use  he  made  of  his  favour  at  Court  in  annually  celebrating  the  day 
of  his  deliwranie  from  the  Bastille,  by  obtaining  the  liberaiJon  of  a 
prisoner  from  that  fortress.  He  died  at  Versailles,  A.n.  ifin^,  Iianng

fnendship  betu-cen  him  and  Mademoiselle  dc  Scuder}'  was  true  to  the

he  had  some  occult  knowledge  of  her  secrets.

temporaries,  was  dead ;  when  his  great-grandson  and  boy-successo^ 
Louis  XV.,  vvas  proclaimed  king ;  and  the  Due  du  Miiiic  (son  <rf 
l>ouis  XIV.  by  Madame  de  Montcspan)  was  arrested  on  suspicion  «f 
political  conspiracy  against  llic  Regent,  Due  dOrleans  ;  the  number  of 
prisoners  in  the  Bastille  was  much  increased  by  the  (act  of  sei-cral  indi- 
viduals, supposed  to  be  concerned  io  that  conspiracy,  being  there  tiicai< 
cerated.  Amongst  them  w.is  Mademoi&etle  Delaunay,  afterwards  better 
known  as  Madame  de  Slaal,  ihs  friend  and  amanuensis  of  tlie  Duch^se 
du  Maine.     The  Due  du  Maine,  an  amiable  member  of  tbe  ro>'al  laraily

and  superintendent  of  the  young  king's  education,  was  seized,  at  liis 
channing  palace  of  Sceaux,  and  confined  in  the  Casde  of  Dourlcns; 
and  the  Duchcsse  du  Maine,  who  was  of  a  much  more  restless  and 
ambitious  temjicrament  than  her  husband,  was  capwred  in  Paris  and 
conveyed  to  the  citadel  of  Dijon.  Mademoiselle  Delaunay,  their  friend 
and  dependant,  still  young,  pi^uanie,  of  somewhat  obscure  parentage 
and  con\-cntual  education,  but  of  palatial  experience,  having  during  the 
last  few  years  worked  her  way  up  from  attendance  on  the  toilette  of  the 
Duchesse  du  Maine  to  the  post  of  confidential  secretary  ;  Madcmoi&ellc 
Delaunay,  more  cclebmted  for  her  vi\k.  than  her  beauty,  impassioned, 
impulsive,  yet  reserved,  and  generally  considered  charming,  was,  as  bc- 
foresaid,  amongst  those  who,  on  suspicion  of  political  conspiracy,  was 
incarcerated  in  the  Bastille. 

Under  a  strong  guard  she  arrived  there ;  but  here  let  her  tell  her  own 
story,  taking  it  up  from  the  time  she  had  traversed  the  outer  bridge  to 
that  fort,  and  had  there  been  formally  received  by  its  governor. 

"Again,"  says  she,  "  I  passed  drawbridges,  and  heard  the  clank  of 
chains,  a  sound  by  no  means  harmonious.  At  last  I  arrived  in  a  large 
chamber  where  only  four  extremely  dirty  walls  were  to  be  seen,  and 
these  smutted  all  o\'i:r  by  the  idleness  of  my  predecessors.  So  utterly 
bare  was  this  chamber  of  furniture,  that  a  little  straw  chair  was  fetched 
for  me  to  sit  down  upon ;  two  stones  were  made  to  sustain  a  fagot 
(it  was  in  the  month  of  December,  or  ralJier  the  vigil  of  January, 
A.D.  1719),  and  for  light,  a  short  end  of  candle  was  atuched  to  the 
wall,  All  these  commodities  having  been  procured  for  me,  the  governor 
retire<l,  and  t  heard  myself  shut  in  by  five  or  six  locks  and  double 
bolts.    There  was  I  then,  alone,  face  to  face  with  my  fagot." 

Under  such  dismal  auspices,  Mademoiselle  Delaunay,  considered  by 
the  aged  and  celebrated  Abb^  de  Chaulieu  and  others,  one  of  the  most 
delightful  women  of  her  day,  coidd  not  foresee  a  future  when  she  would 
look  back  to  her  time  in  the  Bastille  as  the  happiest  of  her  life.  Her 
Avaiting-maid,  Rondel,  was  soon  allowed  to  share  her  cajitivity — the  first 
hardships  of  which  were  not  seemingly  quite  so  cheerfully  borne  by 
the  maid  as  the  mistress, ^and  a  more  convenient  apartment  was 
allotted  to  them  ;  but  whatever  the  reason  of  this  and  other  amcliora' 
tions,  the  silence  of  their  jailers  was  inviolable.  In  time,  however, 
MadcmoiscUc  Delaunay  discovered  that,  quite  unintentionally  of  course, 
she  had  touched  the  heart  of  M.  dc  Maisonrougc,  the  king's  lieutenant 
of  the  Bastille ;  and  when  eventually  she  was  allowed  to  breathe  the 
fresh  air  upon  the  bastion  of  that  prison,  it  was  he  who  accompanied 
her  in  her  walks  to  and  fro.  ihcy  talked,  and  he  took  pleasure 
in  explaining  to  her  subjects  of  interest  with  regard  to  the  place 
of  her  forced  abode.  At  last  he  succeeded  in  obtaining  for  her  a  supply 
of  pens,  ink,  and  paper,  simply,  .is  she  says,  that  she  might  scribble 
her  thoughts  to  liim ;  but  could  the  too  confiding  Maisonrougc  have 
imaginctl  tht  ultimate  use  of  those  pens,  that  ink  and  [>apcr,  it  would 
lia%*e  been  long  ere  his  favourite  captive,  for  whom  he  tind  conceived  a 
sincere  attachment,  had  been  indulged  with  sucli  luxuries.  For  not  far 
from  her  gloomy  cliainbcr  was  lodged  another  prisoner,  with  whom 
she  had  hitherto  had  no  auiuaintance,  whose  very  name  was  until 
then  unknown  to  her,  but  who  had  also  been  sent  to  the  Sastille

onder  suspicion  of  being  concerned  in  Uie  suspected  coospiiucy 
against  the  r^ency  of  the  Due  d'Oricans.  At  llic  cod  of  (he 
month  of  April,  permission  for  Madomoiselle  Delaunar  to  walk  to  aod 
fro  on  the  bastion  was  temporarily'  withdran'n ;  but  bcfon:  that  tine 
Other  prsoncrs  had  been  allowed,  under  certain  restrictions,  to  avxtJ 
themselves  of  it :  and  amongst  them,  as  it  would  seem,  the  Chrralier 
de  Menil,  who,  in  his  conversations  widi  die  king's  lieuiennni,  ascertained ' 
that  to  praise  Mademoiselle  Delaunay  was  the  Ti'ay  to gaio  thefiivoiBJ 
of  her  admirer,  .Nfaisonrouge. 

And,  therefore,  it  tame  to  pass  that  Menil  had,  or  pretendeiT 
had,  a  dre:»m,  the  subject  of  which  he  recounted  to  the  un- 
Maisonroitge,  when  that  officer  one  day  paid  him  an  official  visa 
Maisonrouyc  forgot  thai  it  was  he  himself  who  was  always  proclaiming 
his  own  sentiments  with  regard  to  Mademoiselle  Dclaunay,  by  talb'ng 
of  her;  and  he  delighted  in  listening  10  her  praises,  even  from  in- 
dividual  who  were  strangers  to  her,  when  llicy  echoed  bis  0<K 
words  abo\it  her  in  order  to  plea^  him;  so  when  Menil  declaied  thai 
he  had  dreamed  of  being  condemned  to  perpetual  Jmpri&onmcDt  in  th« 
Bastille  in  company  with  Mademoiselle  Dclaunay,  and  that  the  dicani 
instead  of  terrifjing  had  delighted  him,  the  king's  lieutenant,  £u  from 
being  jealous,  took,  the  chevalier  likewise  into  special  ^vour,  'llw 
chevalier  fell  sick,  and  bad  a  wish  to  indite  \-en<es,  just  about  the  time  thai 
Mademoiselle  was  deprii'cd  of  her  walks  on  the  basition,  and  it  w» 
Maisonrouge,  still  thinking  of  all  that  could  possibly  alleviate  the  dnsn- 
ness  of  her  position,  who  again  procured  pens,  ink,  and  i>aper — but  ibis 
time  for  Menil,  on  condition  that  he  should  attempt  to  write  lines  fof 
the  amusement  of  his  fair  but  invisible  neighbour,  which  lines  he 
(Maisonrouge)  would  undertake  to  convey  to  her. 

It  was  thus  that  a  correspondence  began,  die  fact  of  which  is  not  the 
least  remarkable  record  of  the  Bastille ;  and,  as  Mademoiselle  Dclauna? 
herself  sa>-s,  *'  it  needs  to  have  been  in  prison  to  appreciate  the  ^-olue  of 
such  an  amusement.  To  ^\% aymptftre d^ invisibies"  she  further cxplaini, 
*'l  lent  mj*self  without  ceremony  or  diftiuiotudc,  but  Menil  meantime 
became  extremely  curious  to  see  m(^  whilst  1,  on  the  other  hand,  main- 
lained  that  the  refined  zest  of  our  adventure  consisted  in  our  noeri 
having  seen  each  other,  and  tliat  in  losing  that  peculiarity  it  would  ( 
become  common,  less  piquante,  and  be  subject  to  more  restraint." 

But,  notwithsLmding  the  wisdom  of  these  opinions  the  chcvalic 

dclcnnincd  to  have  his  way,  and  made  such  reprcscntalions  con<     

the  necessity  of  an  interview  to  tlic  king's  hculcnanl,  tliat  that  tml 
lenient  officer  at  last  introduced  the  correspondents  lo  each  other,  \fj\ 
bringing  Menil  to  the  cell  of  Mademoiselle  OcUunay.  llie  inters  icwl 
was  brief  and  constrained  ;  perh.tps  ihc  elda  of  ihc  two  men  was  vcuJl 
because  his  fair  favourite  was  not  suffidendy  praised  by  her  fellow 
prisoner;  but,  alas,  from  (hat  time  forth  for  Maisonrouge!  Slademoia 
Delaunay  had  never  felt  aught  but  gratitude  towards  him ;  hencciurth  st 
was  to  make  him  feel  that  slie  loved  anotlier.  So  unMispicjuus,  he 
ever,  was  Maisonrouge  of  such  3  result,  that  for  sotnc  lime  he  con- 
tinued to  favour  and  be  present  at  personal  interviews  between  the 
prisoners,  in  whom  he  was  interested  j  but  the  cmfiy  Menil,  assirti:

generosity;  and  when  at  last  the  latter  became  aware  of  this  he,  with 
singular  magnanimity,  proved  his  own  love  for  Mademoiselle  Delaunay 
to  be  too  sincere  to  allow  of  bis  interposing  any  barrier  to  her  pre- 
ference for  anotlier. 

The  Bastille  would  be  a  curious  scene  for  a  modem  comedy,  but 
materials  enough  for  the  dramatist's  pen  there  are  in  some  of  the  facts 
appertaining  to  this  love  affair  within  its  walls;  for  cxamplo— One 
evening,  when  Maisonrougc  had  gone  to  dine  with  the  governor  of  the 
piison,  the  lovers  contrived  an  interview  in  Mademoiselle  Delaunay's 
apartment :  and  so  charmed  were  they  with  each  other's  conversation, 
tiiat  the  flight  of  time  was  forgotten,  imtil  they  were  suddenly  startled 
by  the  sound  of  the  double  bars  and  bolt-*  which  shut  them  in  for  the 
night,  the  turnkey  nothing  doubting  that  e.ich  prisoner  was  in  his  or  her 
apjjointcd  place.  What  was  to  be  done  I  The  doors  were  barricaded 
frora  outside.  No  chance  of  redemption,  as  she  herself  saj-s,  was  there 
for  Mademoiselle  Delaunay,  but  in  the  possible  mercy  of  poor  Maison- 
rouge.  Attxiously  she  waited  and  watched  for  him  through  the  bars  of 
her  window,  whence  she  could  get  a  glimpse  of  the  courtyard  througli 
which  he  must  pass  when  corainjj  from  the  governor's  quarteni  to  his  own, 

Ke  came  at  last,  and  she  called  to  him  by  his  name.  He  heard  her 
\-oice,  and  joyfully  responded  to  it ;  but,  alas,  his  consternation  when 
entering  her  cell,  he  beheld  his  rival  there !  In  grave  silence,  however, 
he  released  the  chevalier,  and  thereby  saved  the  fair  fame  of  Made- 
moiselle Delaunay.  although,  as  she  herself  afterwards  declared,  she 
believed  that  Maisonrougc  was  the  only  man  who  e^'er  truly  loved 
her — loved  her  in  a  way  of  which  the  selfish  and  inconstant  Menil 
was  incapable;  for  when  his  liberation,  which  preceded  her's,  was 
effected,  he  foipjt  his  vows  to  his  late  fair  fellow  captive,  and  nearly 
broke  her  heart.  But,  before  that  time  came,  happy  was  hfe  in 
tlic  Bastille  for  Mademoiselle  Delaunay,  and  pleasant  were  the  parties 
which,  together  with  Menil,  she  eventually  enjoyed  chen  M.  the  governor. 
Who,  shuddering  at  the  .sight  of  the  blaclt  outer  walU  of  the  CasciUc, 
would  have  inugincd  the  lights,  the  flowers,  the  laughter,  the  love

when  the  windows  were  open,  he  could  hear  the  captive  Mademoiselle 
Delaunay  sing  in  hers  ;  and  one  day  when  she  began  to  chant  ft  scene 
from  the  opera  of  "  Iphig^nie,"  he  responded  to  it  by  intoning  the  part  of 
Orf-ite.  After  dinner,  the  game  of  homhrr  was  played  in  the  governor's 
apartments,  Mademoiselle  Dehiunay  taking  part  in  it  with  other  dis* 
tiogui&hed  fellow -captives,  such  as  M.  dc  Pompadour,'  and  M.  de

her  how  to  play  ;  for  as  she  herself  remarks  :  *'Si  un  jardinicr,  comme

length  restored  lo  liberty,  was  doiny  all  she  could,  and  interceding  with 
the  Regent  Origins  at  the  Palais  Ro)'a1,  to  effect  her  release  ;  but  it  was 
with  anything  but  a  joyful  heart  that  at  lengtli  she  left  the  Bastille  ind 
joined  the  princess,  her  mistress,  at  Sccaux.  And,  long  afterward^ 
when  a  mariagt  tie  a>$ttfnana  had  been  made  for  her  by  the  DucheuB 
du  Maine,  and  other  illustrious  friends,  with  the  respectable  but  iiB- 
loverlikc  M.  de  Staal,  she  looked  hack  with  a  sad  heart-yearning  of 
memory  to  her  two  years  of  life  in  the  Bastille,  to  her  bright  dream  of 
love  there:  and  thought,  with  a  sigh,  not  only  how  by  liberty  her  fontfcsi 
illusions  were  dispelled,  but  how  in  her  indulgence  of  them  in  captivity 
it  had  been  her  fate  to  inflict  pain  upon  the  noble-hcATted  Maisonrouge, 
who  had  loved  her  belter  than  himself. 

M.  de  Staal,  who  afterwards  owed  his  promotion  in  the  army  to  his 
alliance  with  her,  was  a  mi/i/ai'rein  rural  retreat  when  first  she  vr^s  intro- 
duced to  him.  The  fattest  young  lamb  of  his  fold  was  his  present  to 
her-  aftei  their  future  nuptials  had  been,  with  coolest  discretion,  fint 
discussed  between  them.  She  had  been  taken  by  some  noble  fhends 
of  hers  to  dine  at  his  little  country-house,  and  it  was  just  as  siie 
was  seated  in  their  carriage  when  leaving  it  that,  with  pastoni  lod 
lK>nderous  gallantr)',  he  placed  the  bleating  and  inconvenient  animal 
ai  her  feet.  M.  de  Staal  was  not  likely  to  sing  the  part  of  Ortxt 
in  response  to  Mademoiselle  Delaunay's  //t/Hgeriie  as  did  once,  as  befote- 
said,  the  Due  de  Richelieu  in  the  bastille.  She  sighed  with  regret  for 
the  old  prison  days;  and  indeed  the  Due  de  Richelieu,  also,  when  he 
long  afterwards  remembered  the  Bastille  as  a  scene  of  his  youth,  might 
well  wish  himself  back  there  again. 

In  1778  the  Due  de  Richelieu  unwittingly  accelerated  the  death  df 
Voltaire,  by  prescribing  opium  for  the  over-excited  nerves  of  that  agii 
philosopher,  who  in  impatient  want  of  rest,  took  a  double  dOLse  of  Ae 
soothing  fluid.  The  Bastille  was  still  frowning  down  black  on  Paris  when 
Richelieu  and  Voltaire,  two  old  men,  met  for  the  last  lime,  and 
each  of  them  had  his  own  bright  memories  of  it.  To  Voltiire,  whcsc 
writings  are  commonly  said  to  liave  precipitated  the  Revolution,  the 
Bastille  was,  in  some  sort,  significant  of  his  first  Parisian  success  a.s  1 
dramatist ;  for  it  was  within  the  walls  of  that  prison  that  he  finished  his 
"  Qidipc,"  when  he  was  only  known  as  the  wild  young  Arouet  In  the 
journal  of  Uie  Marquis  de  Dangeau  <cd.  Paris,  1S17),  we  read,  date 
May,  1717  :  "Arouet  has  been  put  in  the  Bastille;  he  is  a  young  poet, 
accused  of  making  extremely  imprudent  verses;  he  had  already  been 
exiled  for  some  monttis:  he  appears  incorrigible."  In  the  same  journal, 
date  Fridaj-,  Nov.  1718,  Paris,  we  read  of  the  representation  of  "  lix 
new  tragc<ly  of  'CEdipe,'  composed  by  Arouet,  ri'Ai^  hm  changed  ha 
name  (lo  Voltaire),  owing  to  the  great  prejudice  against  him  on  accoun: 
of  his  having  ofl'ended  many  personages  in  his  verses ;  but,  notwith' 
standing  the  prejudice,  the  tragedy  has  succeeded  extremely  well,  aad 
has  been  much  praised." 

The  Regent  Ddc  d'OrlAms,  in  fact,  was  so  delighted  with  "  CEdipc' 
that  although  it  was  by  his  order  that  the  young  poet  had  been 
thrown  into  the  Bastille,  it  was  by  the  exercise  of  his  authority  that  he 
was  released.     Arouet,  or  as  henceforth  he  was  sumamed,  Vgltairt,

flew  to  thank  the  Regent,  who  said  to  him,  "  Be  wise,  and  I  will  take 
care  of  you : "  wisdom,  according  ta  the  jirofligatc  Due  d'Orli&ns,  being 
in  this  particular  case,  to  keep  genius  within  the  licensed  bounds  of 
con%'encional  discretion.  But  young  Arouct  had,  during  his  nearly  one 
year'*  detention  in  the  Bastille,  Icamt  a  better  lesson  than  any  that  the 
Due  d'Orlrfans  could  teach  him  ;  for  there,  in  the  first  chamber  of  its 
chief  comer  lower,  where  Biron,  Montmorenci,  Bassompicrre,  and 
innumerable  other  prisoners,  more  or  less  distinguished,  had  sJicceeded 
each  other,  and  where  "  Le  Maislre  de  Saci"  had  translated  the  Bible, 
he  had  leamt  to  work.  The  two  first  "  Chants  of  the  Henriade  "  were 
composed  in  the  Bastille, 

The  honest  father  of  yotmg  Arouct  (Voltaire)  had  thought  his  son 
nothing  less  than  a  fool,  because  he  was  a  poet ;  and  ccruiinly,  until  he 
was  lodged  in  the  BastUle,  that  son  had  manifested  less  discretion 
than  wit  in  pasquinading  various  members  of  the  aristocracy,  and  in 
enrolling  himself  amongst  the  gay  Society  of  the  Temple  (composed 
of  various  gallant  abb^s  and  brilliaivt  princes),  whilst  neglecting  his 
courses  in  the  Rcoies  de  Droits  which  he  was  bidden  to  attend  sedulously 
with  a  view  to  his  future  maintenance.  Educated  up  to  that  time  by 
Jesuits,  he  declared  lliat  he  was  efwqui  at  the  manner  in  which  juris- 
prudence was  taught.  Society  meantime  was  shocked  by  the  young 
satirist's  verses;  and  his  family  was  shocked  at  their  results.  During 
his  captivity  in  the  Bastille,  this  versatile  rnun'en,  vci  he  was  supposed 
to  be,  was  engaged  in  finishing  "CEdipc,"  and  in  commencing  the 
"  Henriade ;"  and  e\'cn  before  that  date  he  had  wTJttcn  an  ode  upon 
"  The  misfortimcs  of  the  Times,"  growing  so  bold  meantime  in  the 
Templar  Society  of  his  brilliant  elders — a  society  to  which  he  was  first 
introduced  by  his  godfather,  the  too  notorious  Chatcauneux — that  of  the 
Prince  dc  Conti,  he  asked,  *'  Are  we  all  princes,  or  all  poets,  here?" 
It  was  unfortunate  for  young  Voltaire  that  the  date  of  his  imprisonment 
was  also  that  of  the  visit  of  the  Czar  (Peter  the  Great)  to  P.iri8,  for 
every  day  the  great  Russian  ruler  did  something  worthy  of  witty  obseiv 
vation.  At  six  o'clock  in  the  morning  would  he  be  in  the  gra/iifi git/fhc 
da  Roi,  then  in  the  garden  of  the  Tuilcrics,  or  waiting  to  watch  people 
go  through  a  turnstile,  at  that  time  in  the  Champs  EJys^es ;  his  latest 
dinner  hour  was  an  hour  before  noon,  and  afterwards  he  visited  the 
Regent  at  the  Palais  Royal  ;  but  this  only  when  he  had  sufficiently 
examined  into  the  merits  of  public  institutions;  for,  says  the  Marquis 
de  Dangcau,  "  il  voulut  examiner  et  voir  tout." 

For  the  boy-king,  Louis  XV.,  Peter  manifested  much  affection ;  nor 
was  he  willing  to  leave  France  without  satisfying  his  curiosity  by  a  sight 
of  the  woman  who,  when  far  advanced  in  life,  had  inspired  the  Grand 
Monarqm  with  a  love,  to  which  he  had  remained  constant  to  the  end  of 
his  life.  The  Czar  paid  a  vi«i  to  the  widow  of  I.oiiis  XIV".  On  Friday, 
June  II,  i7t7,  he  went  to  St.  Cyr,  "He  inspected  the  house,  he 
entered  the  chamber  of  Madame  de  VTaintenon,  who  was  in  bed,  and 
he  drew  back  the  curtains  that  he  might  behold  her.*'  But  space  forbids 
further  notice  here  of  this  not  unsuitable  subject  for  a  picture.  In  less 
than  two  years  afterwards  the  aged  Madame  dc  M.iintcnon  died  ;  her  end, 
it  is  said,  having  been  hastened  by  distress  of  mind  at  the  arrest  of  her 
former  favourite  pupil,  the  Due  du  Maine>  in  consequence  of  which

of  his  arrival  in  Paris  that  he  w"as  arrested.  When,  however,  Iibeily 
was  offered  to  him  he  refused  to  avail  himself  of  it ;  for  he  declared  tiiat 
he  had  always  been  welt  treated  in  the  Bastille,  and  that  after  such  a 
lapse  of  time  it  w-ould  be  in  vain  for  him  to  seek  his  rclatioas  or  foraxr 
friends  in  his  own  native  land.  As  a  lavour,  therefore,  he  was  allowed 
to  remain  in  the  fortress,  free  to  pass  in  and  out  whenever  he  chose 

Marmontel,  like  many  other  Pieadi /iUeraffurs  oi  the  tSthocntaiy,

than  twaity  years  of  age,  he  arrived  in  Paris,  from  Toulouse ;  and  Vol-

ausjiices  of  Aiadamc  do  Pom[);ulour,  advi^ecl  liim  to  write  a  comedy. 
**  As  yet  T  know  not  faces,"  replied  Slarmontel.  "  How,  therefore,  on 
I  nuke  jionrails?"  In  the  following  year  the  academy  awarded  the 
prize  for  poetry- to  Marmontel,  and  his  tragedy  of  "Dionysius"  attracting 
the  attention  of  the  Pompadour,  procured  him  the  situation  of  secre- 
tary to  the  royal  buildings.  His  tales  appeared  ;  he  became  editor  to 
the  Mfrcure  Fran^ti,  and  was  the  friend  of  D'AIemberi,  Diderot,  and 
not  a  few  courtiers.  But  at  last  be  was  sent  to  tlie  Bastille,  for  being 
supposed  to  have  written  a  satire  against  the  Due  d'Auroont,  Gentleman 
of  the  Chamber  10  Louis  XV. 

Mannoniel  feared  that  the  iiilcrests  of  the  Merxurt  would  suffer  by 
his  detention  ;  and  to  the  Prime  Mini&ter,  the  Due  dc  Choiseul,  he 
truthiully  protested  that  he  had  not  ivritien,  but  only  recited,  the  satire 
at  the  house  of  Madame  GeofTrin.  It  was  of  no  use ;  to  the  B.utiI1e 
Marmontel  was  conducted,  but  with  the  greatest  politeness,  and  to  the 
Cabinet  Minister,  M.  de  Sartine,  llie  nutjot  of  the  fortiess  wrote,  as 
follows,  Dec.  38,  1759  : —

returned  frora  fetching  something  that  he  had  forgotten."  The  printers. 
however,  of  the  Mantre  were  net  allowed  to  approach  the  incarcerated 
editor,  and  in  this  fact  lay  his  chief  anxiet}-.  In  less  than  a  month  he 
was,  however,  released  ;  and  the  Marquise  dc  FompaJour,  protector  of 
the  cncydopAl  isles,  of  whom  he  was  one,  was  still  alive  to  vindicate  his 
interests,  as  fiu  as  possible,  against  the  unappeased  wrath  of  the  offended 
Due  d'AuinoiiL  It  was  to  liie  Marquise,  as  before  said,  that  Map 
montcl  was  originally  indebted  for  his  post  of  secretary  to  her  brother, 
the  Maniuis  dc  Mangny,  Minister  of  Public  Works,  a  post  which,  pro- 
^Sding  him  with  competence,  left  hint  at  leisure  to  devote  himself  to  the 
Muses  ;  and  it  was  the  Manjui-ic  also,  who,  in  1758,  had  obtained  from 
the  king  the  brrcei  for  the  Mercure.  And  here  it  is  only  just  to  say,  that 
however  great  the  faults  of  the  Manjtiise, — or  rather  of  the  century  of 
which,  in  French  matters,  social  and  political,  she  was  the  rcprcscntar 
tire, — there  was  scarcely  a  poet  or  an  artist  in  France  who  did  not  owe 
something  more  or  less  to  her  encouragement — a  fact  which  helped  to 
make  her  many  enemies  amongst  the  anti-progressive  or  extreme  con- 
ser*-ative  party  in  churcJi  and  state.  Yet,  nevertheless,  it  became  a 
fashion  in  revolutionary  France  thirty  years  after  the  death  of  the  Pom- 
padour, to  attribute  to  her  many  tyrannous  abuses,  which  abuses  had 
thcic  origin  long  before  she  was  bom.  As  an  example  of  the  frequent 
injustice  of  this  opprobrium,  let  us  here  glance  at  her  supposed  victim, 
Latude,  in  the  Bastille.  It  retiuires  niudi  study  and  patience  to  inves- 
tigate the  truth  of  Latude's  story,  but  the  heads  of  it,  briefly  stated, 
here  follow. 

Latude  was  a  native  of  Languedoc,  or,  as  some  say,  a  Gascon,  of 
smalt  fortune,  and  an  engineer,  who,  hating  studied  fur  the  army  at 
Beropzoom,  became  subse<[uendy  connected  with  certain  seditious  and 
proscribed  Frenchmen,  whose  inflammatory  p.im])hlcts  were  generally 
published  at  Amsterdam,  Berlin,  London,  anywhere  but  in  France,  into 
which  country,  however,  they  were  frequently  smuggled.  Ij.tudc  was 
eager  for  notoriety,  and  he  sent,  or  cau-sed  to  he  sent,  an  anonjmous' 
letter  to  Madame  dc  Pomjuidour,  decLiring  that  a  plot  n'as  in  existence 
to  destroy  her  life  and  that  of  the  king.  M.  Berryer,  then  at  the  head 
of  the  police,  sifted  (he  mailer,  and  Latude  was  imprisoned  in  the  for- 
tress of  Vincennes,  blithe  escaped.  Government  was  then  too  much 
harassed  to  be  likely  to  take  pains  in  recapturing  Ijitude,  and  his  very 
name  would  probably  have  been  forgotten,  had  he  not — raonomaniacaUy, 
as  it  seems — again  thrust  himself  upon  its  notice  by  means  of  seditious 
writings,  whereupon  he  was  sent — and,  xs  some  say,  not  for  the  first 
time — to  the  Bastille.  There  he  allied  himself  with  another  Gascon, 
named  Alfcgrc,  who  shared  his  aparlnicnt,  and  the  lenient  nature  of 
their  captivity  may  be  surmised  from  the  startling  fact  of  their  both 
escaping  from  it  together  by  forming  a  ladder  (as  was  long  afterwards 
almost  incredibly  declared)  of  three-and-a-half  dozen  shirts,  two  dozen 
pairs  of  stlk  stockings,  eighteen  pairs  of  sucks,  three  dozen  table- 
napkins,  a  great  many  nightcaps,  and  innunienLblc  pockel-haudker- 
chicfs. 

In  Holland  and  elsewhere  they  rejoined  their  proscribed  countrymen. 
By  biographers  after  the  time  of  the  French  Revolution  it  was  asserted 
that  Latude  was  cruelly  knocked  down  d  amps  <te  b&toH,  in  the  great

square  of  AmstcTdara,  but  as  that  siatcmcnt  refcre  to  the  year  1765,  it 
is  dear  that  (he  agents  of  Mi<lamc  dc  Pompadour  were  not  concerned 
in  tlic  fact  of  it,  as  slic  had  died  the  year  preceding.  It  appears,  how- 
ever, more  probable  that  before  that  dale  Latude,  who  was  supposed  to 
be  insane,  and  at  one  time  treated  as  such,  was  suffered  to  return  lo 
France  on  condition  that  he  should  Iteep  within  the  bounds  of  his 
native  province.  Kvading  this  condition,  and  liis  thirst  for  notoriety  not 
yet  sated,  he  again  offcnsi^'ely  thrust  himself  upon  the  notice  of  govern- 
ment, and  was  consec|ucntly  again  placed  under  restraint,  until  subsc* 
quentty,  after  various  vicissitudes,  he  was  tiansfefred  to  Bic^tre,  whence 
he  was  liberated  in  17S4. 

The  Pompadour,  as  just  mentioned,  died  in  1764,  and  the  name  of 
Latude  would  never  probably  have  been  heard  again  by  the  world  at 
large  had  it  not  been  proclaimed  as  that  of  a  victim  to  despotism  after 
the  storming  of  the  liistillc  in  the  month  of  July,  1789,  when,  at  last  (if 
indeed  his  self  consciousness  still  sunived),  his  desire  for  notorict\-  was 
gratified.  For  he,  or  somebody  personating  him,  wearing  a  long  beard, 
and  with  limbs  chained,  was  exhibited  in  the  streets  of  Paris,  where  he 
denounced  the  late  "citoycnne  Pompadour,"  from  whose  executors  he 
is  said  to  have  received  a  large  sum  of  money,  which  the  circam- 
stanccs  of  the  limes  probably  compelled  them  to  pay,  but  to  whom,  in 
this  case,  is  doubtful.  At  the  lower  theatres  in  Paris,  latude,  repre- 
sented as  the  Martyr  of  a  Monarch's  mistress,  then  became  a  beroi  and 
the  .iporryplial  Ladder,  above  mentioned,  was  exhibited  at  the  LomTe 
during  the  months  of  August  and  September,  t7S9,  when  the  painter, 
Ventier,  made  a  poruait  of  '*  the  victim."  In  1793-93,  were  published 
the  "  Mthnuires  de  Latude,  ou  Ic  Dcs]K}tismc  Ddvoik',"  and  tetters, 
ascribed  to  him,  were  subsc* jucntly  produced,  some  of  which  were  stated 
to  have  been  written  in  the  Bastille,  and  may  have  helped  to  "inqMre" 
revolutionary  lawyer  and  poet  with  the  following  quatrain  >— 

"  Viclitnc  d*un  pouvoir  in}n»(e  ct  critaincl, 
>la»en  (?)  Jaiw  le«  caclwli  eOt  Icnninc  iW  vie, 
Si  ran  du  (k&potumc,  &u&£l  (in  (]uc  cniel, 
Anit  pu  daitt  let  fcra  CDchjilner  son  fcnic." 

lo  youth  Latude  had  ^'ariousl)'  signed  himself  by  other  names  ;  in  per- 
son be  was  but  little  knou-n  in  Paris  and  even  the  few,  if  any,  suniving, 
who  remembered  him.  \rouId-have  found  it  impossible  to  idcntiiy  him  alia 
so  many  years'  captivity  whether  in  prisons  or  madhouses.  But,  never- 
theless, it  is  said  that  Latude,  pseudo-Wctim  of  Madame  la  Marquise  de 
Pompadour,  lived  to  enjoy  his  honours  until  the  dawn  of  tlic  year  1805, 
when  he  expired,  at  the  age  of  eighty,  a  very  curious  instance  of  vinuc 
rewarded,  and  an  example  of  (revolutionary)  poetical  justice. 

To  more  than  one  imbecile,  such  as  was  probably  the  individual  just 
named,  the  Bastilk — that  abode  of  tenor  in  past  ages  and  of  fabulous 
legends  still  rife  amongst  the  unlettered  mob— seems  to  have  afforded  a 
refuge  at  the  time  of  Its  demolition.  The  immediate  causes  of  its 
destruction  appertain  to  general  history,  and  are  too  well  known  to  need 
recounting  here.  Indeed,  so  suddenly  was  it  stormed  on  the  14th  day  of 
July,  1789,  that  even  eye-witnesses  of  the  event  seem  to  have  found  any 
lengthened  details  incompatible  with  their  various  memories  of  it  When,

Antoinc  were  taken  prisoners  by  (he  people,  chief  ainongst  whom  was 
SatUerre,  the  notorious  brewer,  beer-seller,  and  mob-orator  of  that  fau- 
bourg, who  was  supposed  by  some  of  his  time  to  be  a  tool  of  Egalil^, 
Due  d'Ork'ans  of  the  Palais  Royal,  and  who  aflcrwards  was  one  of  the 
first  to  mount  the  tri-col*jured  cockade." 

The  garrison  of  the  Bastille  on  the  Jilh  of  July  consisted  only  of 
the  governor  and  his  olBcial  staff,  and  eighty-two  invalid  soldiers  of 
the  Swiss  regiment  of  Satis  Sanude.  'I'he  Marquis  Delaunay  (of  the 
same  name  as  the  fair  captive  who,  in  days  long  past,  had  in  prison 
learnt  to  love,  as  already  narrated)  was  then  governor  of  the  Bastille. 
Before  dawn  on  the  ijth  he  ordered  "the  soldiers  to  retire  from 
their  barracks  into  the  casile,  leaving  sentinels  at  the  gate  that  led  to 
tlie  street  of  Saint  Antoine,"  but,  as  before  said,  die  sentinels  were 
taken  prisoners  on  the  morning  of  the  t4lh,  after  those  on  the  towers 
had  been  fired  at.  The  fire  was  not  returned,  but  the  alarm  was  given. 
Then  cries  of  "  Pown  with  the  troops!''  '*  Oown  with  the  Bastille!" 
from  the  infuriated  and  inrrcasing  multitude  outside  ;  and  warnings 
from  the  garrison  to  the  insurgents  not  to  advance.  Invitations  to 
"come  and  speak  to  the  governor,"  promises  not  to  fire  from  the  soldiers 
on  the  walls  ;  a  white  flag  of  peace  waved  by  the  soldiers  on  the  lowers; 
a  inomenlary  lull,  but  only  whilst  the  stonn  from  without  was  gather- 
ing fresh  violence.  A  few  hours  later — massaoe  !  M.  Delaunay  (round 
whom  a  young  female,  supposed  to  be  his  daughter,  was  at  one  time 
seen  wildly  clinging)  was  dragged  to  the  Place  dc  Greve  and  atrociously 
murdered.  His  head,  stmk  on  a  pike,  was  afterwards  exhibited  to  Ihc 
wild  crowd.  The  Major  of  the  Bastille,  a  not  less  amiable  character 
than  Delaunay,  was  also  decapitated  by  the  bloodthirsty  assailants,  and 
the  young  Marquis  dc  Felleport,  fonnerly  a  prisoner,  and  much  attached 
to  him,  was  wounded  in  his  defence.  Two  powerless  invalids  were 
hanged  ;  indeed  it  is  impossible  here  to  recount  all  the  horrors  of  that 
day  of  blood,  fire,  confusion,  and  ferocious  triumph— the  day  of  the 
storming  of  the  Bastille  !  But  its  ])risoners  !  At  one  time  their  self- 
constituted  deliverers  seemc<l,  in  the  e\cttemenl  of  their  sanguinaiy 
work,  to  he  in  danger  of  forgetting  them,  and  at  last  when  tlicy  were 
brought  forth  there  were  but  seven  of  them,  and  not  one  who  had  been 
incarcerated  for  ofTcnces  against  the  state.  Four  of  them  had  been 
concerned  in  a  notorious  forgery  of  bills  of  exchange,  and  were 
awaiting  their  trbl.  .'Vnother,  the  Count  de  Solages,  had  not  un-

quite  inoffensive,  ineoully  deranged,  and  alter  being  exhibited  about

as  the  toweis  of  the  ancient  fatoic  were  more  or  less  dilapidated.

hundred  years,  or  rather  (dating  from  Die  time  when  Uie  forts  of  Paris 
were  originally  built),  for  six  hundred  years  the  Bastille  (added  to, 
as  before  explained  from  time  to  time)  had  stood ;  and  iml>cdded  in  its 
massive  walls  were  found  cannon-ball*,  supposed  lo  have  been  lodged 
there  during  the  war  of  the  Fronde,  at  the  liattic  in  the  suburbs  of  Saint 
AntcMne,  v^-hen  the  royal  army  was  commanded  by  I'urcnne,  nnd  that  of 
the  Fronde  by  the  Great  Condd.  It  would  have  been  well,  as  was 
afterwards  observed,  could  the  Bastille,  instead  of  being  levelled  with 
the  ground,  have  been  converted  into  a  hospital;  but  its  demolition 
was  rapidly  eficctcd,  for  the  excited  mob  of  I^uis  mainly  helped  to 
achieve  it 

Madame  la  Comtesse  de  Genlis,  desiroua,  as  she  herself  says,  that  ha 
pupilf*,  the  sons  of  the  Uuc  d'Oil^ans  (Egalilt*,  of  the  Palais  Ko)-al) 
sliould  sec  everything,  went  with  them  to  the  Jan.lin  de  Beaiunarchjis, 
in  the  Faubourg  St  Anloine,  thence  to  witne^  the  pulling  down  of  the 
Bastille- 

Not  thinking  iKit  the  demolition  of  ibal  work  of  centuries  portended 
social  chaos,  dcnth  to  the  father  of  the  young  princes  at  her  side,  rrilc 
to  them  and  herself,  death  to  the  husband  of  her  youth,  Madame  de 
Genlis  was  inspired  by  the  animation  of  the  strange  spectacle  before  her, 
and  says : — "  It  is  impossible  to  form  an  idea  of  it  That  dreaded  far- 
tress  was  covered,  even  to  its  highest  roofs  and  towers,  with  men, 
women,  and  children,  all  working  with  unheard  of  ardour."  That 
"ama7-ing  number  of  voluntary  labourers,  their  activity,  ihetr  cnthw- 
giasm,  the  pleasure  of  bcholdii^  the  destruction  of  that  friyhtfiil  monu- 
ment of  dcspoiism,"  made  unprophetic  Paris  frantic  with  joy  on  the  eve 
of  the  republican  Jteign  of  Tenor  I  On  the  first  anniversary  of  the 
storming  of  the  Bastille  the  high  altar  of  the  great  Federal  Festival  oo 
the  Chamf]  tic  Mars  was  buill  wiUi  blocks  of  btoae  which,  for  rentnrict^ 
had  formed  jiart  of  that  antique  citadel,  Lbe  site  of  whirh  was  liieo 
placarded  as  "a  place  for  diincing."  It  is,  however,  a  rentaikable  (ad, 
though  one  but  too  seldom  considered  sufiicicnlly  by  any  of  the  many 
historians  and  essayists  of  the  French  Revolution,  that  the  mob  of  Paris, 
though  storming,  and  subsequently  completing  the  demoUtion  of  the 
great  sttic  prison  of  that  capital,  was,  as  decljred  at  the  opening  of  this 
pa];cr,  the  last  class  which,  either  collectively  or  indi\'idually,  had 
personal  experience  of  the  borlxiritics  assodated  with  it  by  popalxr 
prejudice,  (anned  by  democratic  ambition  ;  whereas,  in  ihc  latter  days 
of  France,  under  that  ancient  rlgim^  which  was  simiholisetl  by  this 
fortress,  the  monument  of  ages,  there  were  few  loyal  pocis  or  monarchical 
politicians  but  would  have  rejoiced,  rather  than  otJicr«'ise,  in  recounting 
their  own  se^-eraJ  "  Anecdotes  of  the  Bastille."

THE    ENGLISH    TRAVELLER.* 

|NE  of  the  most  marked  fealurcs  in  these  times  of  progress 
is  the  iierastencc  with  which  English  people  take  their 
annual  holiday.  We  arc  not  now  speaking  of  the  pro- 
fesscil  traveller,  who,  discarding  d\-ilisation  and  beaten 
trades,  flings  himself  into  the  wilds  of  unknown  prairies 
and  primxval  forests,  as  if  the  one  object  of  his  life  was  to  carve  out  a 
•liy  hitherto  unknowTi  to  the  Geographical  Society,  but  rather  of  the 
great  mass  of  easy  going  middle-class  folk,  who,  as  the  summer  draws 
near,  experience  a  feeling  of  restlessness,  only  to  be  miliyated  by.\lpine 
tiinibs  and  canoe  voyages,  or  the  less  exciting  but  safer  visits  to  Scot- 
land or  the  Lakes.  There  is  no  country  in  which  this  peculiar  longing 
is  so  periodic,  or  so  habitually  satisfied,  as  it  is  ta  England.  Perhaps, 
of  all  others,  Russia  sends  the  most  polished,  and  America  the  greatest 
auiuber  of  travellers;  but  these,  albeit  met  with  ia  most  places,  are  Uie 
very  salt  of  their  class,  bent  cither  on  pleasure  or  M-ith  some  political 
object.  In  France,  too,  the  Baths  of  Uigorre  and  Biarritz  attract  great 
numbers  ;  but  diese  are  nearly  all  fashionables  who  go  to  avoid  the 
heat  of  Paris,  and  because  it  is  en  re^{c.  None  of  these  countries  have 
anything  to  compare  with  iliat  great  Hegira  which  the  English  summer 
and  autumn  call  fonh  ;  nor  does  there  seem  to  he  that  love  of  travel,  for 
travel's  sake,  which  is  so  innate  in  the  Anglo-.S-ixon.  One  reason  is, 
that  in  England  we  work  hard  for  our  livelihood  and  our  amusement. 
Whether  we  are  statesmen,  merchants,  or  profesftional  men,  we  stick  to  our 
lasc  for  nine  months  in  the  year  at  the  least,  before  we  consider  that  we 
have  earned  llic  right  to  our  holiday ;  and  wlien  we  do  take  il,  we  take 
it  witJi  the  same  desperate  earnestness  with  which  we  have  worked  for  it. 
With  most  Englishmen  of  the  present  day,  a  holiday  is  relaxation, 
but  not  repose — a  relaxation  simply  of  the  head  and  mind,  which  liave 
been  for  many  months  at  high  pressure  and  which  require  the  remedy 
of  stimulant — the  stimulant  of  change  and  active  exertion.  What 
the  Sunday  walk  is  to  the  bleached,  asph)'xiated  weaver,  the  annual 
holid:iy  is  to  the  overworked  middle-class  nun,  who  gains  in  a  short 
time  more  benefit  from  his  outing  than  lie  would  from  a  year's  dosing 
Wlh  quinine  and  iron.  To  the  mmtl  the  restorative  action  is  still 
greater,  and  were  it  not  for  this  opportunity  of  discarding  for  a  time  all 
wony  and  anxiety,  by  becoming  as  it  were  dead  to  business,  many  a

Some  day  a  future  MacauUy  will  point  out  the  extraordinary  cffi 
this  travelling  habit  has  had,  not  only  upon  our  domestic  ma 
upon  sodcty  at  large  ;  and  the  wortc  has  yet  to  be  written  which  treats  00 
this  particular  phase  of  English  locomotion,  '["he  present  generation  bis 
little  conception  of  the  chiinges  that  have  l.iken  place  since  the  day  »i»eii 
the  mail-coach  was  the  only  medium  of  communication  between  toim 
and  countr>'.  To  the  bulk  of  quiet  villagers,  the  arrival  of  a  Londoner 
was  a  thing  to  talk  about,  while  few  members  of  a  family  ever  looked 
upon  the  metropolis  as  a  place  of  resort,  except  for  a  state  ^isit  once  or 
twice  in  their  lives.  But  now  London  is  identical  with  the  country, 
Its  far  as  the  intercourse  of  society  and  public  opinion  go  ;  and,  au  (V»- 
traire,  the  countrj'  is  too  often  London.  The  great  cause  of  this  change 
is  the  increased  facility  of  locomotion,  which,  like  the  effects  of  tBc 
penny  postage  on  correspondence,  has  induced  people  to  leave  their 
honies  so  much,  that  it  has  now  licconie  a  confirmed  habit.  We  learn 
from  Mrs.  Manley's  journey  in  1725,  that  the  stage  coach  between 
London  and  Exeter  occupied  four  sunmer  daj-s  in  the  trip;  and  that 
the  passengers  had  to  get  up  at  z  a.m.,  left  the  inn  at  3,  and  dined  at 
10  A.M.  each  (Jay.  Under  such  cirrum stances  travelling  would  certainly 
have  remained  a  proceeding  only  dictated  by  dire  necessity,  the  due 
accomplishment  of  which  was  thought  wortliy  of  public  prayer  in 
church,  as  in  Ralph  'Ihoresby's  case.  But,  even  with  improved  roadi 
and  excellent  coaching,  the  Lnglishmati,  except  when  bent  upon 
business,  was  a  hxturc  at  home ;  and  it  was  not  until  after  the  fitU 
I  development  of  the  railway  system,  that  the  excursionist  became  a 
Li)crson  of  importance,  and  a  class  to  be  conciliated.  With  the  excur- 
laionist  came  the  guide-book  ;  but  whether  the  former  was  insUuineatal 
in  the  appearance  of  the  latter,  or  whether  improved  guide-books  helped 
to  create  excursionists,  is  immaterial ;  no  doubt  the  one  infloeaccd  tie 
E  ether. 

There  is  the  same  dlflerence  between  the  handbook  of  the  present 
day  and  the  old  post-chaise  companion,  as  there  is  between  an  express 
train  and  the  carrier's  waggon.  Amidst  the  cloud  of  local  guides  that 
beset  the  traveller  to  any  place  of  general  resort,  it  is  often  perplexing 
which  10  choose  ;  but  taking  the  country  as  .1  whole,  it  may  be  said  that 
Uicre  is  but  one  handbook,  and  "  Murray"  is  its  name.  Not  that  wc 
mean  to  ignore  ilic  claims  of  others,  but  simply  to  express  an  oiNntoa 
as  to  the  consistency  and  value  of  the  twelve  red  volumes  that  at 
present  time  form  Mr.  Murray's  Itritish  series.  For  years  they  have 
on  the  continent  a  sway  which  no  other  works  pretended  to  rival, 
now  we  arc  glad  to  sec  that  the  liritisli  Isles  have  not  only  been  invaded. 
but  arc  in  a  fair  way  of  being  successfully  conquered.  It  was  imtil  of 
late  years  a  reproach  to  the  English  that  they  knew  foreign  countrici 
better  ih-in  their  own.  Nor  was  it  undeserved,  for.  with  the  exception

after  by  gregarious  tourists,  tlie  greater  portion  of  the  country  remained 
unvisitcd,  few  people  being  aware  of  the  mines  of  interest  contained  in 
the  provinces.  In  fact,  Murray's  handbooks  to  the  British  Isles  arc  the 
popular  and  portable  exponents  of  county  histories,  which  from  their 
size  and  drj-ness  have  been  confined  to  the  libraries  of  antiquaries  and 
book -col  lectors.  Now,  liowever,  their  contents  have  been  ransacked  by 
indefatigable  editors,  ami  offered  up  in  a  compact  and  readable  fonu, 
as  an  epitome  of  all  that  is  tvoith  visiting  in  the  historic  and  scenic 
features  of  tlie  country,  and  forming  moreover  a  valuable  addition  to 
the  standaid  works  of  reference.  If  the  jmce  of  eadi  vuluiiic  is  some- 
what high,  it  luust  I)e  remembered  that  tlieir  matter  is  sterling,  and  not 
ephemeral;  and  lh;it  lliey  appeal  to  the  must  polished  and  educated 
section  of  English  travellers,  wliicli  is  naturaliy  the  smallest  in  point  of 
number.  Armed  with  a  "  Murr.iy  "  in  one  pocket,  and  an  Ordnance  map 
in  the  other,  the  tourist,  whether  by  rail,  carriage,  or  on  foot,  may  go 
through  the  whole  of  the  land  ■without  asking  a  single  question,  orat  least 
will  be  able  to  do  so  when  both  maps  and  guide-books  are  completed  in 
their  respective  series.  Of  the  "Sun-ey,"  in  itself  a  national  work  which 
cannot  be  too  highly  valued,  England  and  Wales  are  fimshcd,  so  is 
Ireland,  with  the  exception  tiiat  the  mountains  are  not  projected ;  and, 
although  Ihey  are  correctness  itself,  it  rec[uircs  a  good  deal  of  imagina- 
tion to  realise  the  physical  features  of  the  counlij-.  Scotland  is  com- 
pleted as  far  as  the  borders  of  Perthshire,  but  the  difficullies  are  ver)' 
great,  and  it  will  be  a  long  lime  before  the  corries  and  peaks  of  tlic 
Higlibjid  ranges  are  in  the  engraver's  lunds. 

The  counties  hiilierto  publislied  by  Mr.  Murray  arc  Devon,  Corn- 
wall, Dorset,  Wilts,  Somerset,  Hants,  Surrey,  Sussex,  Kent,  fiuckij, 
Oxfoui,  Ik-rks,  (llouce-ster,  Hereford,  Worcester,  Yorkshire,  Durham, 
Northumberland,  Cumberland,  Westmoreland  and  the  I^kc  District, 
North  Wales,  South  Wales  and  Monmouthshire,  the  whole  of  Ireland  and 
Scotland.  The  remaining  nineteen  counties  are  more  or  less  advanced  in 
prepanition.  Probably  the  first  thought  that  occurs  in  glancing  over 
these  \*olumes  is  the  extraordinarj-  extension  of  the  railway  system,  and 
the  changes  that  it  lias  produced  in  the  outward  appearance  of  the  l.ind. 
Highways,  such  as  the  Great  North  roa<i  or  the  Holyhead  road,  which 
once  teemed  with  traffic,  and  swarmed  with  coaches,  might  now  Irnve 
grass  growing  on  them  so  far  as  the  tralfic  is  concerned.  Villages 
situated  on  these  roads,  which  contained  coaching-inns  of  repute,  arc 
comparatively  deserted,  and  the  inns  sliut  up.  liut  the  balance  of  com- 
pen.sation  is  seen  in  the  creation  of  entirely  new  centres  of  habitation — 
such  as  Swindon  on  the  Great  Western,  Wolverlon  and  Crewe  on  the 
London  and  Nortli-Westcrn  railways.  Indeed,  the  latter  place  is  so 
utterly  a  mushroom  of  t!ie  last  twcntj'-fi^e  years,  that  it  was  some  time 
before  a  name  could  be  found  for  it ;  tlic  proper  parochial  name  of 
Monk's  Coppenhall  being  judged  too  long  for  a  station  which  was  in- 
tended to  receive  half  the  travelling  popukition  of  England.  From  the 
same  cause,  monster  hotels  have  sprung  up,  in  some  cases  without  any 
apparent  object  but  to  make  a  railway  to  them,  and  thus  alcmct  a  resi- 
dential population ;  while  our  towns  and  cities  are  inhabited  by  a. 
daily  ebbing  and  flowing  crowd,  which  for  the  most  part  shuns  tlicm  at 
night  as  though  they  were  infected  with  a  plague.     \Vhcthcr  the  beau- 


tUiil  pleasure  spots  in  England  arc  any  the  better  for  the  influx,  daily, 
weekly,  or  monthly,  of  these  spasmodic  residcats,  is  a  question  wbiclt 
will  prolxiMy  be  answered  in  the  negative  by  those  to  whom  ihcsoftiKa 
and  silence  of  nature  are  so  dear.  Fortunately  nothing  cao  spoil  out 
mountains,  and  wc  certainly  are  indebted  to  the  railways,  not  only  fot 
taking;  us  to  Ihcm  without  loss  of  time,  but  for  putting  it  in  the  power  of 
so  many  to  visit  them,  who  otherwise  could  not  do  so,  so  thai  we  mttst 
take  the  f;ood  tvith  the  bad,  and  not  feel  too  severe  as  we  hear  the 
engine  whistle  through  the  Pass  of  Killiecrankic.  'What  lovely  pictores

of  Loch  Lomond,  or  the  more  savage  ones  of  Loch  Marec ;  the  gorgeoos 
purple  tints  of  Killaniey  and  Gtengariff;  do  they  not  one  and  all  brmg 
back  to  the  mind  pleasure  of  the  most  charming  kind  t  Even  our  more 
homely  and  prosaic  scenery,  such  as  thai  of  the  Thames  at  Maideobnd, 
the  irregular  outlines  of  Ktlinburgh  Old  Town,  the  fresli  breezes  aitd 
swelling  ridges  of  the  Sussex  Downs,  are  alt  things  to  look  forward  to, 
and  to  look  Ixick  u]ion. 

But  the  railway  system  has  done  more  than  bring  this  scenery  lo 
our  doors,  it  has  given  us  some  of  the  highest  triumphs  of  modem 
days.  The  art  of  building  bridges,  which,  when  road-ni.iking  was  in 
vogue,  was  brought  to  the  height  of  perfection  by  Telfyrd,  is  now-a-dayi 
joined  with  the  most  astonishing  originality  and  boldness ;  and  the 
English  railway-bridges  may  fairly  challenge  the  world.  Stephenson's 
Britannia  Bridge,  that  carries  the  Chester  and  Holyhead  railway  ova 
the  Menai  Straits  side  by  side  wiili  Telford's  work,  his  high  levd 
bridge  at  Newcastle,  Robertson's  Llangollen  viaduct,  the  bridge  m-cr  the 
'I'weed  ai  Berwick,  Brunei's  Albert  viathict  orer  the  Tamar  at  Saltash, 
the  Ciumlin  bridge  in  Mmmioulh shire,  that  spans  an  entire  valley.  aC 
a  height  of  200  feet,  and  more  recently  the  Clifton  suspension-bridge, 
begun  years  ago  by  Brunei,  and  complcicd  by  Messrs.  Hawkshaw  and 
IJariow,  arc  severally  worth  a  journey  to  .see,  and  stand  prominently 
forward  as  the  giant  works  of  the  age,  all  emanating  from  the  little 
locomotive  at  Killingworth,  Not  only  has  a  mce  of  engineers  been 
bred  up  to  laugh  at  diffiaiUies,  but  we  are  accustomed  to  look  at  such 
gigantic  undertakings  as  those  of  the  Liverpool  docks,  the  Plymouth 
breakwater,  and  the  Holyhead  harbour,  with  the  s-inie  inditicrence 
that  we  shall  probably  feci  ten  or  fifteen  years  hence,  when  the  tonnel 
between  _  France  and  Fngland  i^  completed.  To  these,  and  such  as 
these,  will  our  future  historians  pt)int  as  instances  of  the  prmligiouS 
growth  of  the  country  in  ideas  and  riches,  and  wc  cannot  be  surprised 
when  we  see  our  raanufartiiring  towns  and  seaports  bursting  their  bondi

arc  each  historical  ccnires  of  the  cloih,  cotton,  and  woollen  trades, 
round  which  new  towns  are  yearly — wc  may  almost  say,  daily — springing 
up.  Witness  llie  rise  and  progress  of  Saltaire,  which  contains  a  popu- 
lation of  jooo,  all  dei>endent  upon  a  single  mill.  Sumc  of  the  most 
interesting  points  in  Hiigliiili  social  life  arise  from  the  examiaition  of 
our  more  scattered  industrial  punmits,  which  from  their  nature  are 
localised  in  some  i»ani(ular  district,  and  give  a  peculiar  stamp  to  those 
employed  in  them.  The  lead  mines  of  Alston,  the  copper  mines  of 
Anglesea,  the  black  country  of  South  Stafford,  the  china  clay  of  St. 
Austell,  the  glass-worlcs  of  the  Tyne,  the  tin  mines  of  Botallaclc, 
the  gold  mines  of  Merionethshire,  the  slate  quarries  of  Pcnrhyn  or 
Llanberis,  and  the  ironworks  of  South  Wales,  are  each  worthy  of  the 
close  attention  of  the  man  at  science,  or  the  student  of  race  and  cha- 
racter. Of  all  these  do  the  handbooks  tell  t:s,  with  a  fulness  that  is 
wonderful,  considering  the  multiplicity  of  subjects  with  which  ihcy  deal ; 
nor  do  they  omit  the  more  limited,  but  equally  interesting,  specialltief, 
such  as  the  china  works  of  Worcester,  the  glove  trade  of  Yeovil,  or  tie 
marmalade  manufacture  of  Dundee  ;  we  even  read  of  the  little  town  of 
Cumnock,  in  Ayrshire,  which  is  devoted  lo  snuffboxes,  and  that  of 
Knockcroghery,  in  Koscommon,  the  fortune  of  wliich  lungs  on  tobacco- 
pipes. 

To  the  thoughtful  observer  all  these  sights  and  sounds,  modem  as 
the>'  arc,  have  an  additional  interest  when  compared  with  the  relics  of 
foimcr  ages  ;  and  although  the  antiquary  will  nnlurally  prefer  to  linger 
OTCT  the  quiet  spols  where  the  latter  sleep  undisturbed,  he  will  never 
shut  out  from  his  mind  the  comparison  hetwccn  the  past  and  the  present. 
Nor,  indeed,  taking  our  engineering  works  a,s  an  example,  can  we  afford 
to  sneer  at  the  engineering  knowledge  or  cap-icity  of  the  old  builders 
of  Stonchengc,  be  they  Celts,  Druids,  Danes,  Antediluvians,  or  Belgae. 
We  can  only  miir^xl  .it  the  innsportalion  and  aiTangemcnt  of  these 
wondrous  monoliths,  or  at  the  sV\\\  with  which  so  many  of  the  rocking- 
stones  that  stiil  exist  were  poised.  Tlic  study  of  early  remains  has  very 
much  incrcxsed  within  the  last  few  years,  and  many  a  tumulus  and  many 
a  lake  has  been  forced  to  reveal  its  secrets  ami  give  u)>  its  dead.  The 
excavations  of  the  Derbyshire  barrows  by  the  late  Mr.  Baleman,  and  more 
lately  of  the  Yorkshire  barrows  by  Canon  Greenwell,  have  thrown  much 
light  on  the  ethnology  and  some  of  the  customs  of  these  early  races.  For 
variety  of  early  antiquarian  research  there  is  no  country  like  Ireland,  with 
its  elaborately  sculptured  tumulus  of  Newgrange ;  its  Ogham  stones  ;  its 
forts,  such  as  Dunaingus,  in  Arran,  and  Staigue,  in  Kerry;  its  innumerable 
niths;  its  primitive  oratories,  snch  as  the  Beehive  Oratory  of  Gallerus  ; 
its  cranrogcs.  or  lake  dwellings;  and  its  early  towns,  whether  inlmbited 
by  Tuaih  l>anaans,  Fenians,  or  any  other  aborigines.  Of  later  date  than

Moat  of  Urr,  and  the  vitrified  foits  of  Aberlemmo,  arc  good  examples 
of  early  Scotch  remains.  Wales,  for  obvious  reasons,  is  not  so  prolmc 
in  this  particular  class  of  antiquities,  but  she  can  ihow  a  goodly  store  of 
cromlechs,  meinihirions,  and  Celtic  forla.  And,  by  the  way,  *vh>-  isil 
that  cromlechs,  both  in  Wales  and  Iiclarei,  are  almost  always  placed 
where  they  overlook  the  sea — or,  at  all  events,  a  large  body  of  watcf  ? 
The  fact  is  too  persistent  to  be  accidental,  and  it  is  one  worth  notice 
The  Welsh  marches  loo  are  made  interesting  by  Offa's  Dyke,  while  in 
all  parts  of  the  country  Roman  remains  abound.  There  is  plenty  of 
material  for  a  Roman  handbook  to  Britaiu.  'ITiey  were  the  great  ro«l- 
makers,  R-al  I  builders,  and  miners  of  their  day.  Their  camjw  are  scal- 
lered  over  all  the  land,  although  there  arc  very  few  so  perfect  as  thoie 
of  Aidoch,  in  Perthshire,  and  Lanchester,  in  Durham,  Th«r  roads, 
such  as  the  WatUng  Street,  Ikenield  Street,  and  the  Fosse-way,  were  so 
well  engineered  that  they  are,  in  many  cases,  identical  with  our  modaa 
turnpike  roads  ;  and  as  for  mines,  both  gold  and  iron,  traces  of  Roman 
occupation  abound  in  Wales  and  the  Forest  of  Dean.  Heaps  of 
Komaii  slag  and  cinders  attest  the  diligence  with  which  they  smelted 
the  iron  for  the  use  of  the  armourers'  forges  at  Aquie  Solis  or  Baihi 
while  the  neighbourhood  of  the  Gogofau  gold  mines,  in  Cannar- 
thcnshirc,  abounds  n-ith  Roman  names  and  associations.  Eat  the 
greatest  interest  is  undoubtedly  centred  in  the  excavations  at  Wroxctci 
(Uriconium),  the  pavements  and  treasures  found  at  Cacrlcon,  where  the 
second  Augustan  legion  so  long  lay  in  garrison ;  and  in  more  limited  detail, 
in  the  Roman  villas  exhumed  at  Stowell  I'ark,  in  Gloucestershire,  or  at 
Bognor  in  Sussex.  Even  witliin  the  last  month,  a  temple  to  MiiKrva 
has  been  discovered  underneath  the  White  Hart  inn,  at  Bath,  while 
fresh  additions  to  our  Roman  anliqu-uian  knowledge  arc  being  made 
daily  in  different  jiarts  of  the  country'. 

It  is,  however,  when  we  come  down  to  bter  times  that  we  find  bow 
replete  the  country  is  wiili  historical  and  architectural  reuiains,  and  hon 
difhcuU  it  is  for  the  student  of  mediaeval  buildings  to  deal  witti  the 
■abject  in  detail,  from  its  great  extent.  Of  Saxon  churches  tliere  are 
very  few.  Those  in  best  preservation  are  Karl's  Barton  in  Xonhanij*ton- 
shire,  and  Worth  in  Sussex ;  although  we  ought  not  to  omit  mcntioomg 
the  exquisite  double  aisles  in  St.  John's,  Chester.  But  from  Saxon 
times  downwards,  the  ecclcsiologist  will  find  work  in  plenty  in  eveiy 
counly  in  England,  A  single  cathedral  /say  Canterbury),  is  in  itself  *n 
epitome  of  Gothic  architecture  ;  Durham,  perhaps,  being  the  most 
original  and  consistent  of  nit  our  cathedrals  and  abbe>'s.  Amidst  such 
a  glurious  collection  of  church^^s  and  monastic  remains, — such  as  Foim* 
lams,  Melrose,  Kirkstall,  Fumcss,  and  Tinteni, — it  is  impossible  even  to 
enumerate  those  which  are  worth  attention,  and  we  can  only  mentioa 
what  seems  the  most  striking  point  in  the  media;val  architecture  of  the 
Rrili.sh  Isles,  and  that  is,  the  variatiorw  in  point  of  time  l>ctween  Eng- 
land, Ireland,  and  Scotland.  Ireland  can  show  numbers  of  churchct 
possessing  mouldings  and  decorations  usually  thought  to  be  of  Norman 
character,  but  which  are  really  of  a  date  anterior  to  tlie  iilh  century. 
Kahin,  Killeshin,  Casbel,  and  Freshford  churches,  arc  examples  of  this 
ornamentation,  which,  Norman  in  style,  is  yet  ante-Norman  in  date 
Scothnd,  on  the  otJier  haivcl,  has  kept  her  architectural  features  long

after  the  English  had  done  with  ihem.  WJien  the  round  arch  was  dis- 
missed from  England,  the  Scotch  were  usin^;  it  with  all  vigour,  and  the 
same  thing  occurred  with  the  Early  Enghsh  style,  which  pleased  them 
much  more  than  did  the  Decorated,  and  which  they  were  exceedingly 
loth  to  give  up.  Add  to  this,  the  jircvailing  tendency  to  French 
patterns,  ami  we  sec  how  it  is  that  Scotland  po^iscs.'ies  surJi  a  distinctive 
architectuial  foshion.  To  ilic  French  uisic  must  be  attributed  the 
fine  examples  of  flamboyant  windows  in  many  of  the  Scotch  abbeys. 
Another  fact  that  strikes  us  in  glancing  over  the  church  buildings  of  the 
various  English  counties  is  the  dilTei^nce  of  style  which  prevailed  in 
different  parts  of  the  country,  marking  a  period  in  the  ecclesiastical  hiir 
lory  of  that  county,  when  the  erection  of  churches  was  in  a  flourishing 
condition — as,  for  instance,  in  Somersetshire  and  Devonshire,  where 
almost  all  the  churches  were  Perpendicular  of  so  distinctive  a  character 
as  to  be  known  as  a  West  of  England  type.  Fortunately  for  our  modem 
churches  wc  have  no  style,  the  last  in  which  we  indulged  l>cing  a 
mixture  of  the  pump-room  with  pure  churchwarden  ;  and  such  a  debased 
mixture  arose  from  this  union,  that  it  brought  us  all  back  again  to  seek 
the  principles  of  true  Gothic  art  To  this  fact  wc  Owe  a  number  of 
succcs&ful  restorations  and  the  rebuilding  of  some  of  our  finest  churches, 
—  Doncaster,  for  instance,  which  would  be  a  credit  to  any  age. 

What  would  perhaps  strike  a  foreigner  most  in  reading  the  handbooks 
would  be  the  number  of  fmc  seats  which  give  England  that  peculiar 
charm  of  home  residence.  From  Uie  ducal  palaces  of  Cliatsworth, 
Bclvoir,  AJnwick,  or  Dunrobin,  to  the  quiet,  comfortable  country  house, 
tfiere  is  every  variety  of  mansion,  brealliing  more  or  less  the  atmosphere 
of  home,  and  showing  at  a  glance  the  secret  of  that  influence  which  the 
landed  proprietors  have  always  exerted  in  the  country,  and  which  it  is 
hoped  it  will  be  very  long  ere  they  surrender.  One  scarcely  knows  which 
to  admire  most,  the  glowing  p.irks  and  gardens  that  surround  the  scats 
of  our  gentry,  or  the  works  of  an  that  embellish  the  interior.  Wc  are  as 
a  nation  deficient  in  public  galleries  of  pictures,  but  wc  doubt  whether 
any  country  in  the  world  can  show  a  larger  number  of  private  collec- 
tions. An<l  fortunately  for  the  lovers  of  art,  the  same  spirit  of  liberality 
that  presided  over  the  acquisition  of  these  art  treasures,  in  most  cases 
prompts  their  owners  to  throw  them  open  for  the  gratification  of  the 
tourist  The  number  of  show-places  mentioned  in  the  handbooks  suffi- 
ciently attests  this.  There  is  one  more  feature  to  which  we  must  allude 
Ijefore  wc  close  our  brief  summary.  These  red  volumes  address  them- 
selves to  the  specialists  as  well  as  to  the  general  traveller,  and  the  way 
in  which  the  science  of  geology  is  handled  in  them  proves  that  this 
fascinating  study  has  gained  a  considerable  hold  over  a  large  section  of 
tourists.  Indeed,  our  English  geology  is  so  varied,  and  so  bound  up 
witli  the  scencr>',  that  it  is  almost  impossible  for  any  observant  or  edu- 
cated roan  to  admire  the  one  without  taking  an  interest  in  the  other; 
and  such  works  as  tJiosc  of  Mr.  Geikie  on  the  scenic  geology  of  Scot* 
land,  or  of  Professor  Ramsay  on  Norlli  Wales,  are  almost  as  necessary 
vatU-maums  as  hanclbooks  themselves.  To  whatever  part  of  Great 
Britain  the  annual  "outing"  is  directed,  the  scientific  traveller  need 
never  be  at  a  loss  for  interest  The  Woolhopc  Silurian  valley  of  elevation

THE   FRENCH   REVOLUTION   AND   THE 
MASSACRE   OF   ST.    BARTHOLOMEW. 

|W0  new  works  have   Litely  been  ptiblished  on  subj* 
which,  though  long  since  variously  trcaied  by  historian^l 
biographers,  poets,  essayists,  and  novelists,  French,  Engli* 
Russian,  Prussian,  and  Italian,  atwaj's  appear  to  be  of  fresh 
interest  to  the  reader." 
In  tlie  first  of  these  works— ihc  first,  according  to  date  of  poblicaiii: 
— its  author,  Professor  von  Sjbel,  justly  obsen'es  in  his  Pr^ace,  dale 
[.from  Bonn,  that,  under  any  circumsiances,  even  the  most  favourable,  1 ' 
1  composition  of  a  history  of  the  French  Revolution  must  be  a  haxardous 
^  undertaking  for  a  foreigner ;  but,  adds  he,  "  if  the  foreigner  find  it  more 
'difficult  than  the  Frenchman  10  understand  French  phenomena,  his 
E  judgment  is  Icks  likely  to  be  warpetl  by  parij-  feelings.  He  will,  perhaps. 
see  many  points  in  a  less  brilliant  light  Uian  that  in  which  the  French 
national  feeling  h-is  been  accustomed  tort^rd  them  ;  but  he  a  on  that 
account  all  the  less  exposed  to  the  danger  of  adhering,  thnwdl  attach- 
ment to  some  darling  error,  to  incorrect,  and  e^-cn  now  sometnnes  dan- 
Lgerous,  views."    The  work  to  which  these  remarks  are  prefixed  is  one 
[of  great  research,   but  if  there  be  any  reason  to  hope,  as  its  author 
|ftcems  to  infer,  that  Baron  Beust  will  not  much  longer  withhold  certain 
I  diplomatic  papers  the  contents  of  wliich  would  help  to  throw  more  light 
[upon  ihc  French  Revolution  from  an  Austrian  point  of  licw,  it  is  almost 
to  be  regretted  that  there  was  not  some  delay  in  the  presentation  to  ihc 
world  at  large  of  ihc  cUbomtc  volumes  on  that  subject  now  before  us. 
It  is,  moreover,  impossible  not  to  agree  irilh  Professor  voti  Sybcl,  when 
he  says ;  "  The  Russian  Government  could  render  no  greater  service  10 
the  historian,  than  by  publisliiug  the  whole  of  the  correspondence  of

would  thereby  erect  a  HtcTaiy  monument,  the  value  and  interest  of 
which  would  D01  be  inferior  to  th:it  of  Frederick  the  Great  and 
Napoleon  I."  But,  nevcrthcleas,  he  adds,  "  I.,ess  has  been  done  in 
Austria  than  in  Russia  towards  the  chindation  of  the  revolubonaty 
war.  Yet,  even  in  the  former  country,  the  sei-eriiy  of  the  old  s)'5tem 
is  beginning  to  \k  relaxed.  'Ilie  interesting  publications  of  lietr 
von  Amcth  and  Adam  Wolf  are  well  known."  And  it  is  from  this 
fact  of  the  recent  publication  of  the  Imperial  fomily's  correspondence 
that  Professor  von  Sybd,  as  beforcsaid,  hopes,  with  regard  to  the 
French  Revolution,  that  ccrLnin  diplomatic  papers  will  soon  be  made 
accessible  to  the  student  of  that  great  subject.  Mea.ntime,  after  a  survey 
of  liie  oft-discussed  and  now  almost  universally  recognised  causes  out 
of  which  the  French  Revolution  sprang,  he  brings  the  two  first  volumes 
now  given  by  him  to  the  world  at  large  to  that  time  (1793)  "  when  the 
poison  of  German  discord  was  destroying  the  bonus  which  held  the 
grand  alliance  together  when  the  French  Revolution  was  breaking  down 
the  last  dams  which  liad  checked  its  flow  at  home,  am!  creating  that 
fearfnl  dictatorship  which  was  destined  by  an  unexampled  union  of 
the  forces  of  the  French  nation  to  overpower  discordant  and  di^*idcd 
Europe."  Professor  von  Sybcl  seems,  from  his  own  fireflitorinl  account 
of  himself,  to  have  travellc<l  much  in  search  of  materials  for  the  work 
now  before  us ;  but  the  portions  of  it  most  likely  to  interest  his  readers 
are  those  in  local  proxlmiiy  with  his  own  fatherland.  There  it  nothing 
acttLilly  new  in  his  accounts  of  "die  origin  of  the  Austro-Prussian 
league,  the  causes  of  the  contest,  the  origin  of  the  Polish  partition,  and 
the  breach  between  England  and  France  ; "  and,  perhaps,  even  still  less  so 
in  his  description  of  the  "  Rise  of  the  French  Monarchy,"  the  "General 
Dissolutit^n  of  Order  in  the  State,"  &c.  In  his  allusions  to  French 
emigrant  life  at  Coblentz,  we  seem  to  miss  the  animated  and  celebrated 
description  given  of  it  by  Chateaubriand  and  other  French  writers ; 
but  there  is  subject  for  reflection,  of  somewhat  a  novel  character,  in  his 
portraiture  of  Leopold  II.,  successor  of  the  Emperor  Joseph ;  and  still

Again,  speaVing  of  the  Austdin  and  Prussian  policy,  with  regard  to 
the  French  Revolution,  Professor  von  Syhcl  gives  us  a  chaiacterisoc 
glimpse  of  the  Comtc  d'Artois,  who  made  a  sudden  visit  to  Leopold 
just  as  the  Emperor  was  prepared  to  make  the  best  use  of  his  approach:- 
ing  conference  with  the  King  of  PnisMa.  ' 

"  He  (Leopold)  was  mott  diwgretably  nupmed  a  few  days  ticforc  Iiik  Hcpaititre

MCiet  to  him  of  the  ml  [xmiiinn  of  ftniun.  D'Artois  eagerly  reminded  htm  of  the  pl»- 
specU  which  the  Etiipeiui,  wtien  in  Italy,  Ii«l  held  out  at  the  time  of  Louu'  t^ghl: 
whereupon  Leopold  poinicd  out  the  ubEiulcs  itniinj;  from  the  political  vtate  of  Karapi; 
and  finding  that  he  could  miil(c  no  impreuion  on  d'Artoi*,  Be  declared  irithofil  any

He  then  oflercd  to  cede  Lominc,  but  Leopold  remained  nxinKnol.  He  asked  per- 
iniwion  to  accompany  the  Lnipcror  to  I'illnitz,  which  the  latter  said  that  he  had  DO 
scrople  in  granting,  hut  tliat  there  no  dtangc  of  policy  could  take  place." 

Indefatigable  research  is  said  by  one  of  otir  contemporaries  to  be  the 
merit  of  everj-  German  professor,  and  the  results  of  that  research  on  the 
part  of  Professor  von  Sybcl,  as  contained  in  the  two  first  of  his  laifc 
volumes  now  before  us,  are  divided  into  six  books,  the  first  of  whiai 
treats  of  France  before  and  immediately  after  the  "  Breaking  oui  of  the 
Revolution;"  the  second,  of  the  "First  effects  of  the  Revolution  on 
Europe;"  the  third,  of  the  "Abolition  of  Royalty  in  France;"*  the 
fourth,  of  the  celebrated  "Campaign  in  Champagne  ;"  the  fifth,  of  the 
"  Commencement  of  tlie  War  between  England  and  France  ;"  and  the 
sixth,  of  the  "  Second  Partition  of  Poland."  Pcofessor  von  SyUel's  work, 
therefore,  voluminous  as  it  is  in  tliis  its  first  insulment,  does  not  exteod 
beyondthe  year  1793;  and  although  its  author  has  by  no  means  exposed 
himself  to  the  clurge  of  being  light  in  hi^  tieauuent  of  the  various  gtave 
subjects  involved  iu  the  French  Revolution,  they  are  necessarily,  tiUting 
so  wide  a  range  as  he  does,  discursive  ;  wliLTcforc  Professor  von  Sybel, 
notwithstanding  all  his  indefatigable  research,  fails  on  the  whole,  in  these 
two  first  volumes,  to  place  before  the  world  at  large  any  new  01  concen 
trated  view  of  that  stupendous  event.  Readers,  however,  who  hi' 
leisure  to  follow  out  the  reflections  suggested  by  his  text  to  this  Ge 
historian,  may  find  that  his  pages  often  contain  much  interest  pcculi 
in  themselves.  For  example,  when  speaking  of  how  "men  break  thcii 
bonds  asunder,"  Professor  von  Sybel  says  : — 

"When  Columbus  changed  men's  view*  of  the  »r&ce  of  the  earth,  and  CopendOB 
of  the  imivcrec,— when  Luther  had  reformed  the  Church,— the  ipiril  of  critiosn  wm

led  to  consider  the  subject  of  the  secoml  work  on  a  well-known  French 
subject,  lately  published  by  Mr.  Murray,  and  already  mentioncJ  by 
name  at  the  head  of  ihis  p.iper.« 

In  iliis  new  work  on  the  Massacre  of  St.  Bartholomew,  the  author,  as 
he  himself  tells  us  in  his  preface,  has  endeavoured  to  describe  tlic  great 
struggle  which  derastated  France  in  the  latter  half  of  the  i6lh  centur>', 
and  culminated  in  the  memorable  tragedy.  In  the  three  preliminary 
chapters  he  notices  "  the  cruel  persecutions  which  the  Reformers  had  to 
suffer  at  the  hands  of  the  dominant  Church ;''  but  he,  Dr.  White, 
"  would  be  much  grieved  " — so  he  also  tells  us  in  his  preface — "  were  it 
supposed  that  he  had  wTitten  those  chapters  with  any  desire  to  rekindle 
the  dying  cml)ers  of  religious  strife." 

We  do  not  think  that  there  is  the  slightest  danger  of  those  embers 
being  rekindled  by  Dr.  White ;  and  we  quite  credit  his  assertion  that  he 
has  tried  to  write  impartially ;  but  the  theme  he  has  chosen  is  one  upon 
which  it  is  very  difficult  for  an  Engllshinaii  of  the  19th  ceiitui)-  to  write 
at  all  II,  however.  Dr.  Wliile  fail  in  writing  such  a  history  of  the 
Mai>^cre  of  SL  Baitholoroew  as  may  impress  posterity  with  his  views  011 
that  subject,  it  is  from  no  tack  of  materials  for  his  work  ;  for,  as  he  justly 
says,  the  letters  of  Catherine  dc  M^dicis  "  are  scattered  all  over  France  ;" 
and,  not  here  to  speak  of  many  of  those  letters  having  been  already  pub- 
lished— a  fact  conscientiously  acknowledged  by  Dr.  White  himself — he 
has  also  had  access  to  those  in  the  collection  of  Mr.  Murray,  of  Albe- 
marle Street,  and  to  others  which,  until  this  present  time,  have  remained 
"almost  unknown."  The  fact  is,  that  Dr.  VVliite  might  have  succecdetl 
better  in  giving  a  graphic  picture  of  the  main  subject  of  his  work,  hati 
he  so  /ar  restrained  iiis  Huguenot  sympathies,  his  historical  and  bio- 
graphical ambition,  as  not  to  have  preceded  the  "  Festival  of  Blood,"  to 
be  found  in  his  thirteenth  chapter,  by  more  than  three  hundred  pages 
of  essay  on  the  "  Causes  of  the  Reformation,"  and  innumerable  other 
subjects. 

Bet«*een  the  massacre  horrors  of  the  French  Revolution  in  \^^^,  and 
those  of  St.  Bartholomew's  Day  in  1572,  there  exisM,  as  elsewhere 
observed,  a  similarity;  hut  like  his  contemporary  historian,  Professor 
von  Sybel,  Dr.  White  is  too  discursive,  and  rhe  more  so  because  he 
ought  in  the  course  of  his  work  to  keep  in  full  ^'iew  such  an  "  enigmatical 
diaractcr"  as  Catherine  de  MiJdicis.

tt  is  thus  that  Dr.  AVhite  attempts  to  redeem  the  HugiMnou  from  tbe 
"terrible  rMpOfnabilily  of  beginning  the  ci^-il  strife"  that  proved  to  Cual 
to  tliem  in  the  Massacre  of  SL  Bartholomew.  From  the  yeir  156*, 
wlien  the  Huguenots  anncd,  he  dates  that  which  he  calls  the  "  Finl 
Religious  \V.ii." 

It  is  curious  to  rompnre  Dr.  White's  opinion  on  these  points  inlh 
ihosc  of  his  French  contemporary  NL  Capcfiguc,  who,  in  a  recently 
published  biography  of  Catherine  dc  M6iicis,  thus  expresses  himBclf:* —

And  after  giving  various  reasons  in  support  of  this  narement,  and 
offering  his  authority  for  those  reasons,"  M.  Capefigue  paninitariy  cdb 
attention  lo  certain  ftkes  auiheaiiques  extracted  from  the  "  Regisires 
de  THosiel  de  Ville"  ("Curieux  Recueil,"  torn.  x.  fol.  9  3t  13),  fi«n 
which  the  following  passages  are  translated : — 

"  On  the  moraine  of  tbe  Zfth,  the  sheriff  havioc  come  to  the  Lou^te  fur  tbc  por^

Dr.  White  Itkcm-ise  rcfere  to  these  registers,  and  it  is  very  curious  in

in  cveT7  twenty  males  bom  In  the  United  St&tcs,  am  never  expect  to  have  a  wife  of 
hi*  own." 

To  remedy  such  a  startling  disiJroportion  as  this  just  glanced  at,  and 
into  the  virious  causes  of  which  Mr.  Dixon  goes  much  more  laiKcIy  than 
space  will  here  allow  us  lo  ToUow  him,  it  is  obvious  iliat  Uie  bachelors  of 
"New  America"  ought  to  seek  wives  for  themselves  in  the  mother 
country,  especially  if  it  be  true  as  our  author,  quoting  "  sly  old  Mayo," 
affinns— "  the  American  lady  has  not  made  an  American  home." 

Meantime,  ladies  themselves  in  America  are,  not  only  many  of  them 
active  members  of  scientific  societies  and  the  "  liberal  professions."  but 
theorists,  eager  to  embody  such  systems  as  the  Ebelian  one  of  a  Female 
Church,  or  to  manifest  their  devotion  to  one  or  other  of  the  \-3rio« 
developments  of  the  *'  theocratic  principle,"  which  in  America  at  this 
present  day,  as  elsewhere  observed,  may  be  regarded  as  significant,  not 
of  a  rcfomiation,  but  a  revolution. 

In  his  preface  to  "  Spiritual  Wives,"  Mr.  Dixon  says : — 

"  I  have  collcclccl  mjr  (acta  in  distant  places :  in  the  Baltic  ivravineca.  in  the  Weft 
of  Enginnij,  on  tlic  klium  ttf  L^kc  Ontario,  in  the  New  England  cities  I>  emj 
MUMf,  rtia»-e  seen  the  places  and  the  [leoplc  for  mjntelC" 

In  the  course  of  his  travelled  observations,  the  same  author  demon- 
strales  that,  however  far  tlic  "affinities"  of  New  England's  spiritual 
circles  may  appear  to  be  removed  from  polygamy  at  Salt  Lake  City,  ibe 
tlieoiy  conveyed  by  the  title  of  his  work  is  practically  subject  to  much 
gross  abuse,  whatever  the  character  of  its  "  religious  and  romandc  dis- 
guise." It  is  not,  however,  any  more  necessary  than  it  is  possible  here 
to  review,  with  Mr.  Dixon,  the  N'arious  phases  of  his  subject,  which, 
as  one  of  our  contemporaries  obsenxi,  may  well  call  forth  more  stem 
words  of  "  indipnanl  reprobation  ''  from  some  of  his  readers  than  those 
he  has  liiniself  bestowed  upon  it  The  topic  of  Mr.  Dixon's  latest  work 
is  a  novel  one  to  English  general  readers,  and  his  account  of  his  visit  to 
the  Agapcraone  is  more  than  sufficient  to  gradfy  even  the  curiosity  of 
that  venerable  "  law  lord,"  who,  some  few  years  since,  was  commonly 
reported  to  have  declared  his  desire  of  personally  making  philosophical 
obser^'ations  in  that  abode.  But  there  are  some  readers  wlio,  tradog 
effects  back  to  causes,  will  feel  more  interest  in  the  pages  of  the  volmne 
now  on  our  table  before  us,  which  refer  to  Konigsbcrg,  the  birthplace  of 
German  freedom,  where  erst  dwelt  Imnunucl  Knnt,  the  cigbtetnth- 
ccQtury  critic  of  Pure  Reason. 

Kant,  though  at  one  time  jealous  of  Emauuel  Swedcnborg,  lesd&ed. 
nc^'crtheless,  to  the  ilairri^yanct  of  that  seer,  to  whom,  in  a  great  measuit; 
may  be  attributed  the  idea  of  "  Spiritual  Wives." 

Swedenborg  (bom  at  Stockholm  in  1 689,  and  buried  in  I^ndon,  where 
lie  died,  1771),  did  not  write  in  the  mlgar  tongue,  nor  for  circulating 
libraries ;  and  not  even  to  the  heads  of  families  could  his  works,  as  a 
general  nUe,  be  submitted,  until  such  time  as  the  day  of  their  tranilatioo 
into  living  languages,  and  the  foundation  of  the  New  Jerusalem  Chuicti

carac.     In  the  latest  English  work  on  Swedenborg,  referred  to  ia  foot- 
note to  the  title  of  this  paper,  it  is  said  : — 

"  The  old  itchool  of  Swcilenborgians  is  rapidly  pudng  sway.    They  irere  a  nirious 

race,  m^ny  being  highly  eccentric  ani3  rich  in  chancier 'I'he  worlH  -viippotn

licepcr.     It  is  nol  Swcdaibor;;'^  an^cb  which  lake  hi^t  fancy,  bui  lii:>  negntiont  of  tne 

poinilar  theology. There  \s  quilt  lu  little  lumniice  about  him  u  about  an 

UnitariAit ;  inoeed,  if  the  Unitaiuui  ivQulit  only  oy  Chmt  wiu  God,  ihry  might  join 
forces  and  go  to  battle  [ogelhci." 

This  somewhat  offhand  stitcmcnt  is  true  to  a  certain  extent,  bu(  there 
are  two  sides  to  the  subject  to  which  it  refers;  for,  as  the  author  of 
the  interesting  but  much  too  discursive  work  now  before  us  elsewhere 
in  it  observes,  Sweden borgian ism  obtained  its  widest  diffusion  in  the 
United  Stales.  It  is  in  America,  as  beforesaid,  that  Swede nborgianism 
is  stdl  rife  under  other  names,  and  thcm-C  have  we  some  of  its  doctrines, 
and  those  not  the  least  seductive,  brought  back  to  the  mother  country. 

Putting  aside  here  the  claims  of  modern  pseudo-spiritualists  and 
clairvoyants,  and  not  by  any  means  touching  upon  the  carnal  abuses  of 
the  spiritual  doctrine  of"  Klective  Affinities,"  it  must  be  confessed  that 
Swedenborg  appeals  to  tlte  higher  faculties  of  humanity  when  he  declares 
the  eternal  nature  of  true  wedded  love,  or  as  his  interpreter  now  before 
us  says,  with  regart)  to  the  rare,  and  by  no  means  merely  conventions), 
unions  of  those  whose  hearts  have  been  knit  together  "conjugially"  {iic). 

"  Deaih  is  powerles*.  Hidilen  from  one  another  as  to  l»dy,  htisban<]  and  wife  are 
one  in  %nm(,  and  as  soon  as  kii»t  death  imdoc:s  the  last  fcttcn  of  the  Heih,  titej  are 
r«-uniieil  eternally. " 

Seldom  has  philosophy  been  more  in  accordance  with  Christian 
poetry  and  with  the  most  psychological  utterances  of  Christian  preaching 
tlian  in  the  advocacy  of  this  doctrine.  Respecting  various  other  opinions 
of  Swedenborg,  to  say  nothing  of  his  visions,  we  refer  the  reader  to  the 
excellent  Index  appended  by  his  most  recent  biographer  to  the  work 
here  named.

[ANY  a  general  reader,  who  spends  much  of  his  time  in  a

English  system  of  publication  now  in  vogue.  For  example  : 
no  merrier  travelling  companion  could  be  desired  than

his  life  as  that  appended  by  Mr.  Percy  Fitzgerald  to  the  two  volumes  of

compact  edition  of  Voltaire's  *'  Charles  XII.,"  or  the  portable  edirion  of

At  this  time  David  Gartick,  of  gentle  parentage,**  but  with  French, 
English,  and  Irish  blood  in  bts  veins,  bad  come  to  London  as  a  law 
student,  but  was  doing  business  as  a  wine  merchant ;  although  with  a 
taste  fur  t}ic  siage  whidi,  as  his  present  biographer  remarks,  was  sure  to 
break  out  when  there  was  tlie  sligluest  protni:>e  of  an  opening.  For- 
tunately for  the  world  at  large  and  fur  the  future  reform  of  the  firitish 
drama  an  opening  did  present  itself  in  1742,  and  at  the  theatre  in 
Goodman's  Fields  the  former  pupil  of  Samuel  Johnson  gained  general 
applause  in  the  character  of  Kiȣ  Ruhard y^  Thint

his  res[>ectable  LichAeld  family,  little  dreaming  of  the  glory  which  was  to 
ensue  to  them  through  him,  were  shocked  at  his  becoming  an  actor.  To

Viennese  ifanseiise,  but  none  Ihe  less  a  carefulIy-giiardcd//-o/^«  of  Lady 
Burlington),  it  was  noturious  that  Garrick  was,  as  lie  continued  to  be  to 
Ihc  end  of  his  life,  the  most  devoted  of  husbands.  Wealth  flowed  in. 
All  sorts  of  honours  were  showctcd  down  upon  him ;  and  the  Knglish 
social  history  of  the  i8th  rcntury  would  be  incomplete  without  such 
scenes  as"  were  enacted  in  private  life  by  dislinguishcd  individuals  at 
Garrick 's  Hampton  villa,  or  at  his  town  house  in  Southampton  Street 

The  stoiy  of  the  time  when  Quin  and  Garrick  wcrt*  managers  of 
Dmry  Lane,  is,  like  all  the  later  periods  of  Garrick's  life,  full  of  dramatic 
incident ;  but  many  readers  will  find  the  most  channing  chapters  of  that 
life  to  be  those  "on  the  Grand  Tour ;"  for  in  the  fall  of  the  year  1763 
the  great  Englisli  actor  set  off,  accompanied  by  his  wife,  on  a  non-pro- 
fessional journey  to  i^rai^ce  and  luly.  In  the  fair  cities  of  the  south  of 
Europe  Dawd  (jarrick  lingered  with  delight,  but  in  the  sa/ans  of  Paris 
he  was  especially  welcome  Parisians,  of  whom  at  that  time  were 
d'Alcmbert,  Marmontel.  Bcaumarchais,  and  many  other  shining  lights  of 
tliat  brilliant  "philosophy"  which  lias  made  Uie  iS(h  cenlurj- dawling 
to  the  intellect  of  poslcrity,  declined  that  Garrick  was  formed  to  live 
amon};:i(  them.  "Sweet  Miblress  Garrick"  was  also  duly  appreciated ; 
and  whilst  Didciot  addressed  David  Gurrick  as  " (Acr ct nimnh/c  tioscrus" 
or  "  My  dear  Shakspcarc,"  Ueaunuirchais  declared  Uiat  both  M.  and 
Madame  "Garikc"  had  aided  him  in  bis  Barber  of  Sa'UU, — helped 
bim,  as  says  Garrick's  present  biographer,  she,  by  her  sivtrira  /ins,  and 
bcE  husband,  by  valuable  hints  for  the  nmiagemcnt  of  the  business. 
Mrs.  Garrick  was  a  beautiful  woman,  and  the  guiding-star  of  her  gifted 
husband'ii  life.  She  nas  doomed  long  to  survive  him,  to  remember  in 
old  age  the  bright  time  of  her  life,  when  she  returned  witl»  her  husband 
to  England  and  witnessed  the  rapture  with  which  his  reappearance  on 
the  Knglish  stage  was  greeted;  to  recall  how  at  that  time  (1763-6) 
his  wit  in  socic't)*  was  applauded,  and  to  ponder  on  the  many  genial 
and  beneficent  acts  which  graced  his  life. 

In  J.inuarj-,  1779,  died  "excellent,  unrivalled  Garrick."  He  was 
buried  in  Westminster  Abbey,  as  befitted  a  great  though  not  untried 
man,  of  whom  his  latest  biographer  justly  says  that  "  Ills  placid  dignity 
of  heart  ft'as  never  to  desert  him,  .Superior  lo  ever)-  pctlinc*is,  his  life 
gives  lo  all  in  authority  precious  lessons  of  a  cliarming  sweetness  and 
temper,  and  a  wholesome  restraint  upon  the  passions  tliai  would  have 
done  honour  to  au  ascetic.^  Dr.  Johnson  was  one  of  those  present  at 
Garrick's  funeral  Since  the  "old  Lichfield  days"  Johnson  had 
betrayed  symptoms  of  grumbling  jealousy  tvilh  regard  to  his  former 
pupil ;  but  when  the  "cheerful  Davy'"  was  gone,  the  great  lexicographer 
declared;  "I  am  disappointed  by  that  stroke  of  Death  which  ha;,  eclipsed 
the  gaiety  of  n.ations,  and  impoverished  the  public  stock  of  harmless 
pleasure.'' 

And  as  solemn  seasons  are  generally  retrospective,  it  is  more  than 
possible  Uiat  when  the  aged  Samuel  Johnson  stood  by  the  tomb  of 
Jiis  frifnd  and  former  ]iupil,  his  thouj^his  reverted  to  those  days  long 
past  when  he  himself — as  explained  above — was  dependent  on  Svlvasus 
UKIiAN   for 


a  scanty  subsistence,  and  when  Garrick  first  displayed  his 
reraification  in  the  "Poet's  Comer"  of  The  Gc.:iT;i.v.'AMA''i

10.  Ma,  t'auAK,— It  appears  from  a

that  on  his  return  from  Ireland  the  I'rincc 
of  Wales  will  pay  blsfiratvitlt  to  Caruai-

within  the  walls  of  the  oastle,  where,  It  I« 
farther  stated,  the  first  Priooe  of  Wales, 
SOD  of  Edward  I.,  was  born.

Quid  tAndem  reUt 

Atutqia  misccri  novU ! 


y&rkihire, — Canon  Greenwell  has  recently  ntade  exca^'adons  upon 
Oie  very  large  (utnulus  at  KJrkt^  Underdale,  in  tlie  East  Riding  ;  and 
tliey  have  resulted  in  somewhat  unlooked-for  and  not  ununportant 
coveries.     At  a  very  superficial  depth,  on  the  south  side,  numerous  inte^j 
ments  have  been  found,  most  of  wliich,  so  far  as  can  be  ascertained  fn 
iheaccounts  given  in  the  newspapers,  are  Anglo-Saxon.   It  is  Elated 
vich  the  skeletons  of  males,  bronze  as  well  a^  iron  swords  have/ 
discovered.     If  this  be  true,  it  would  seem  to  be  the  first  insis 
record ;  but  we  must  wait  for  further  confirmatory  endence  from 
pen  of  the  active  explorer  lumself.     Knives,  also,  are  stated  to  have^ 
been  fouml  with  thu  skeletons  of  males ;  but  none  arc  mentioned  as 
accompanying,  as  they  almost  invariably  do,  tlie  brooches,  bocleles,  and 
other  ornaments  of  women.     What  appears  to  have  struck  the  zealous 
explorers  most  was  the  fact  that  many  of  the  skeletons  indicated  aj 
doubling  up  of  the  tiodics  in  the  burial,  which,  it  is  asserted,  was 
practice  hitherto  sujiposcd  to  be  restricted  to  the  Britons.     But  it  hal 
long  been  understood  that  both  S;ixons  and  Franks  did  not  invariably  > 
lay  the  dead  body  at  full  length,  but  somelimcs  placed   it  in  a  sittiiu 
posture,  or  upon  one  side,  with  the  legs  bent  up  and  the  head  preKCa 
down.  Of  course  these  interments  must  be  considered  as  far  subse<]ueiit 
to  the  original ;  but  they  arc  by  no  means  on  that  account  less  interest* 
ing,  and  a  more  detailed  report  will  be  welcomed  by  the  arctueoloj^L 

Htrifordshire. — A  vei>'  interesting  British  coin  in  silver  has  just  been 
found  on  tlie  site  of  Verulamiiim,  near  St.  Albans,  which  has  ibrtnnatcly 
been  scciu-cd  by  Mr.  Grove  Lowe,  to  whom  the  antiquarian  world  h  so 
much  indebted  for  researches  into  the  buried  remains  of  the  great 
Roma  no- British  city,  e^^ccially  the  theatre,  of  which  he  was  the  dts 
verer  some  years  since.  It  may  be  thus  described  :  Oln\ — TAS.  abow 
a  wild  boar  springing  to  the  right ;  Ktv.~\  1 R  L  (?)  in  the  angles  of  a 
cross-formed  ornament,  within  a  beaded  circle. 

One  example  only  of  this  coin  was  previously  kno«-n ;  and  this,  ia 
bad  preservation,  is  engraved  by  Mr.  Evans  in  his  **  Coins  of  the 
Ancient  Britons."  plate  vi.,  Na  lo.  Although  the  obverse  in  the  speci- 
men engraved  showed  no  letters,  tlie  sagacity  and  experience  of  the 
author  at  once  referred  it  to  its  proper  place  ;  and  to  show  how  con«tly 
the  inierpreution  was  given,  and  how  it  is  verified  by  the  recent  dis-j 
coveiy,  his  remarks  arc  here  quoted: — "This  curious  coin,  whicli  hai] 
not  before  been  published,  is  in  ihc  Bodleian  Jjbrary  at  Oxford,  and] 
formed  part  of  the  collection  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Ingram.  I^^is  unfonunaiely 
much  injured,  and  its  place  of  finding  not  known.  From  ilsanalc^l 
nith  the  coins  of  Vcnilatn  (plate  viii..  No.  5),  I  have  inserted  it  licre»  to

fill  up  a  blank  space  I  had  left  En  the  plate,  though  the  attribution  of  the 
coin  to  Tasdovanus  or  to  Venilam  is  purely  conjectural.  Even  the  two 
letters  visible  of  the  legend  are  uncertain,  and  the  obverse  type  is  more 
like  that  of  the  coin  reading  CR-\B.  (plate  v.,  No.  j),  than  any  other  : 
the  boar,  however,  occurs  on  at  least  two  of  the  coins  of  Vcrulam,  so 
tliat  possibly  the  discovery  of  a  better  preserved  specimeo  cnay  justify 
my  having  given  this  type  its  present  place  in  the  plates." 

This  prognostication  was  correct,  and  the  newly-discovered  coin  con- 
firms Mr.  Evans's  conjecture.  The  design  and  execution  of  the  boor  is 
highly  spirited  and  finished,  and  the  letters  T.-VS.  quite  perfect ;  the  last 
two  letters  on  the  reverse,  so  far  as  I  am  able  to  see  &om  an  incised  im- 
pression, are  not  so  clearly  defined. 

Shropshire. — A  recent  visit  to  Wroxeier  lias,  more  than  ever,  con- 
vinced mc  of  the  imporunce  of  the  excavations  made  there,  whirh  hive 
become  suspcmle<l  from  want  of  funds.  Mr.  Joseph  Mayer,  ever  fore- 
most to  encourage  science,  art,  and  liicraiuie,  has  giicn  a  second  liberal 
donation,  which  has  been  well  expended  in  successfully  laxnng  ojien 
.inother  large  apartment  contiguous  to  those  already  shown  in  the  plans 
and  views  published  by  Mr.  Wright ;  but  these  massive  and  fine  remains, 
unlilte  those  at  Silchester  and  some  other  places,  arc  deeply  covered 
with  earth,  and  the  excavations  are  necessarily  very  expensive.  T^e 
c^rting  .iw.-iy  of  an  cnormoHS  mound  now  becomes  necessary,  in  order  to 
develop  fully  the  entire  stmcturcs  of  the  extcnsii'c  square  to  which  the 
operations  have  hitherto  been  confined.  In  many  places  people  would 
\k  tbund  too  happy  to  cart  it  as  manure  ;  but  the  agricuUurists  of  the 
neighbourhood  either  do  not  fully  estimate  its  value,  or  they  are  well 
provided  with  adjuncts  to  the  cultivation  of  land  which  usually  are 
costly,  and  with  dtflicully  procured. 

The  farther  portion  of  the  remains  now  hid  open  (as  viewed  at  the 
entrance  from  the  modern  road,  which  seems  to  cover  an  ancient  fwr), 
is  fianlted  by  the  high  massive  wall,  long  supposed,  erroneously,  to 
be  part  of  the  circumvallation  of  the  ancient  city ;  but  which,  in  reality, 
is  an  exterior  wall  of  a  spacious  and  noble  building,  of  numerous  rooms, 
the  original  level  of  which  tlie  eye,  on  a  nearer  approach,  detects  from 
the  tessellated  flooring  yet  remaining  in  one  of  the  smaller  apartments. 
These  rooms  were  well  supplied  with  hj-pocausts,  llic  admirable  ar- 
rangements of  which  can  be  well  understood  in  consequence  of  the 
destruction  of  the  floors,  which  admits  of  the  mode  of  heating  being 
clearly  seen,  even  to  the  skilful  spreading  of  the  healed  air  up  the 
walls  of  the  rooms,  by  hollow  square  riles  through  which  also  the  smoke 
escaped.  The  advantage  thus  gained  in  undersuinding  the  means 
taken  by  the  Koman  builders  to  counteract  the  trying  rigours  of  our 
northeni  climate,  is  purcliased  by  the  sacrifice  of  the  tessellated  pave- 
ments with  which  these  heated  rooms  wore  floored.  That  they  were  of  a 
superior  kind  may  Vie  inferred  from  the  examples  discovered  ai  Wroxeter 
in  past  times;  and  also  from  a  very  remarkable  specimen  of  mosaic 
work  j-et  remaining  upon  one  of  the  walls,  an  indication  of  luxury  of 
which,  I  am  not  aware,  we  have  any  other  example  in  this  country. 
The  examination  of  these  rooms  requires  time  and  attenUon  ;  especially 
as  some  ancient  restoranons  and  adaptations  will  have  to  be  studied

Physiatl Scitfiit. — An  amateur  astronomer,  Mr.  Cooper  Key,  announces 
some  obsen'ation<;  tending  to  show  that  a  particular  nebula  or  nebulous 
star  has  undergone  some  change  during  the  past  eighty  years.  Sir 
Wniiam  Herschcl  described  the  object  as  *'  a  star  of  the  9th  mapnit'.i'le, 
with  a  pretty  bright  nebulosity,  equally  disposed  all  around."  Thii  was 
in  1 787.  Mr.  Key  now  finds  it  a  nebulous  star  closely  surroundc*!  by  ft 
dark  ring;  this,  again,  by  a  lumiDoiis  ring;  then  an  intcr\-al  ?■'■■''  ''■-*.% 
luminous;  and,  finally,  at  some  distance,  an  exterior  turn 
1  he  adherents  to  the  nebular  hypothesis  of  Laplace  may  K-  im  .im-u  tu

interesting  and  now  important  liltte  bodies. — Several  pretty  de^'ices 
have  been  suggested  for  showing  the  synthesis  of  white  light  from 
coloured  rays.  Xot  the  least  ingenious  is  one  that  has  just  been  pro- 
posed by  NIr.  Woodward,  of  the  Mitlland  Institute.  A  beam  of  white 
light  15  passed  through  a  prism,  and  the  specmim  is  thrown  upon  a 
mirror,  and  thence  reflected  on  to  a  screen.  On  moving  the  mirror,  so 
as  to  make  the  spectrum  pass  over  itself  lengthwise,  a  band  of  white  light 
is  formed,  identical  in  appearance  «"ith  a  beam  received  direcdy  from  the 
source  of  light,  and  similarly  reflected  upon  the  screen.  By  using 
diaphragms  to  stop  out  certain  of  the  coloured  ra>-s,  the  compound  tint 
due  to  the  mingling  of  those  remaining  may  be  shown. 

Ceotogy. — -Bloc-ks  of  stone  or  boulders  transported  by  glacial  agency 
arc  valuable  monuments  of  the  ancient  climatic  conditions  of  the  regions 
wherein  they  arc  found,  and  it  is  somewhat  important  tliat,  where  pos- 
sible, they  should  be  retained  in  situ ;  but  in  some  places,  in  Suabia, 
for  instance,  they  have  been  largely  employed  for  building  purposes. 
Failing  the  preservation  of  the  stones  themselves  the  next  best  tiling  is 
to  make  and  preserve  catalogues  of  them,  giving  their  pOMtiont;  and  con- 
ditions. Such  catalogues  have  been  made  by  M.  Stcitdel  for  the  blocks 
in  Suabia,  and  by  MM.  [-'avre  and  Soret  for  those  tn  the  valley  of  the 
Arve :  the  Scientific  Association  of  France,  acting  upon  the  suggestion 
of  the  Swiss  geologists,  has  set  on  foot  a  chart  and  catalogue  of  those 
DOW  known  in  that  country. — An  important  geological  map,  showing 
the  vaiious  beds  of  rocks  and  deposits  composing  the  bottom  of  the 
British  seas,  has  l>ccn  laid  by  M.  Delesse  before  the  French  Academy  of 
Sciences  :  the  principal  shifliug  de|>osit-i  appear  to  consist  of  sand,  which 
occupies  a  vast  space  on  the  Atlantic  Coxsts  the  British  Channel,  and 
the  German  Ocean. — This  Academy  lias  elected  Sir  Roderick  Murchison 
a  foreign  associate  in  the  room  of  the  late  Dr.  Faraday.  Sir  Roderick 
Murchison  gained  a  large  majorit)*  of  votes  above  several  others  of  his 
eminent  rountr)'men. —  Earthi],uakes  were  fcU  at  Tillis  on  Feb.  i%  and

GMf^afihy,  &'^, — The  journey  of  a  pundit,  who  had  eluded  frontier 
govemore  and  guards,  and  crossed  from  Kepaul  into  Thibet,  was  de- 
scribed lately  to  the  Geographical  Societ)'.  He  reached  as  fer  as  the 
hdy  city  Lhassa,  traversed  the  Thibetian  high-road  westward,  and, 
crossing  the  Suilej  at  its  source,  re-entered  British  territory  by  the 
Utdhura  Pass,  into  Kumaon.  Excellent  observations  for  altitude  and 
latitude  were  obtained,  and  an  elaborate  route-survey  made  along  si 
disunce  of  1200  miles. — ^Thc  Aihmaum  says  that  Mr,  Winwood  Rcadc 
has  determined  to  resume  his  Alrican  travels,  lie  will  shortly  sail  for

the  neighbouring  native  states  slavery  prevailed,  obstructions  «*crc 
in  the  way  of  trade,  and  the  adininistraiion  of  laws  was  excewivi 
slow.  The  consequence  had  been  thai  representatives  of  all  the 
neif;hbouring  tribes  had  been  brought  lo  reside  in  the  favoured  lotality, 
and  much  good  had  been  done  and  progress  nude.  The  climate  and 
soil  favour  the  gromh  of  tea  and  chinchona.  and  the  cultivation  of 
these  had  given  employment  to  a  large  number  of  i>eopte.  For  bon- 
nes«  intercourse  and  judicial  aflairs,  eight  languages,  besides  Englidt, 
were  in  daily  use  in  Dr.  Campbell's  office. — The  anthropoiogiso, 
at  their  meeting  on  March  17,  discussed  a  paper  by  Mr.  McGrigor 
Allan,  on  the  Europeans  and  their  Descendants  in  North  America  ;  the 
author's  argument  being  that  the  North  .."Vmerican  white  population  are 
essentially  transplanted  Europeans,  whose  racial  and  ph>-sical  duirac- 
tcristics  have  been  moditied  by  new  conditions  of  climate.  Sec  Mr. 
Allen  held  thai  the  foundation  of  all  political  economy  was  a  coned 
knowledge  of  the  races  of  men.    Hence  the  importance  of  anthropology. 

Electridty.'^'iA.  I. croux  lately  communicated  to  the  Scientific  Asso- 
ciation of  France  his  experiences  upon  the  nature  of  the  dertric  light 
from  carbon  points.  Some  physicists  have  considered  that  the  matter 
transported  from  ihc  positive  to  the  negative  point  is  in  the  form  of  an 
extremely  tenuous  [>owder ;  others,  that  it  is  in  a  gaseous  state.  M.

a  voltaic  arc  upon  a  screen,  he  had  been  enabled  to  analyse,  by  means 
of  the  spectroscope,  the  light  of  the  arc  isolated  from  that'of  the  heated 
points  ;  and  he  had  found  that  its  spectrum  exhibited  the  character  of 
discontinuity  peculiar  to  gaseous  spectra;  in  particular  it  resciubled  iliat 
wliich  MM.  i'lucker  and  Hitior^  liave  attributed  to  the  vapour  of 
carbon,  and  which  results  from  the  combustion  of  C)-anogen  in  oxygen. 
— At  ihe  same  meeting  a  simple  electric  clock,  the  invention  of  M.  De^ 
Combeties,  was  described.  It  went  widiuut  ucighis  or  spring.  Al 
simple  balance-wheel  was  fumislied  witli  an  armature  which,  at  cvcry^ 
vibration,  was  drawn  towards  an  electromagnet ;  this  attraction  altered ' 
the  position  of  the  centre  of  gmnty,  and  the  Ijalance  fell  o^'er.  ASTien 
the  current  W.IS  removed  the  balance  returned  to  its  original  position. 
The  in.iking  .nnd  breaking  of  contact  was  jKrrformed  by  the  baLnnc 
itself;  and  the  ttbrator)-  movement  thus  maintained  was  comraunieaie 
to  an  escapement  and  tooihcd  wheels  whicii  moved  the  hands  in  the 
usual  way. — M,  Monnct  h.i.'t  proposed  a  new  form  of  iron  aimatures  and 
axes  for  electro-magnets.  They  are  nwde  by  beating  iron  filings  re- 
duced by  liydrogen  into  a  solid  mass  within  a  brass  box  or  ca*e  of  the 
requisite  fonn;  the  mass  thus  obtained  is  of  very  pure  tnetal,  very 
sensible  to  magnetic  action,  and  does  not  retain  a  trace  of  pennancnt 
magnetism. — One  of  the  latest  uses  of  electricity  is  its  .npplication  to 
organ  building,  to  supersede  the  ordinar)-  mechanical  kc}*  aod  diaw  uoj 
actions.  The  advantage  is  tliat  Ihc  claviers  maybe  placed  at  any  dr

ft  mere  cable  of  wires.  The  plan  is  patenied  by  Mr.  Barker,  a  Paris 
maker,  aiul  llie  paieni  is  lo  be  worked  in  England  by  Messrs.  Br)'ccson 
Brothers. — ITie  Rev.  Thomas  p'oihergill  Cooke  revives  ihe  great  tele- 
graph-invention comroversy,  by  issuing  a  pamphlet  setting  forth  the 
evidence  upon  which  his  brother's  claim  should  be,  once  for  all,  decided 
and  recognised.  The  vexed  question  was  being  re-venti!atcd  in  the 
columns  of  the  Reada-  some  fifteen  montlis  ago ;  but  the  death  of  that 
periodical  arrested  the  discussion.  The  Cooke  side  of  the  case  is 
strongly  argued  in  the  pamphlet  before  u.-: :  whether  ihc  Wheatslotie 
adc  will  he  .similarly  promulgated  time  must  show.  In  the  meanwhile, 
those  interested  in  the  ([uc^ition  will  be  glad  to  have  the  evidence  in 
favour  of  Mr.  Cooke  brought  into  .such  a  convenient  form  for  reference 
and  preservation. — Front  some  experiments  tried  upon  animals,  MM. 
Onimus  and  Legros  consiflcr  that  ovcr-stupcfaction  by  chloroform  may 
be  cured  by  a  powerful  shock  of  electricity. 

C^rwKA-j'.— Captain  Ross  continues  his  researches  on  crystallography 
and  the  blowpipe,  alluded  to  in  January  last.  He  has  deduced  several 
new  facts — viz.,  chat  ct-rry  inorganic  substance  crystallises  inevitably 
from  tU  solution  in  borax ;  that  these  crystals  are  not  isomorphuus ; 
that  these  substances  which  crystallise  soonest  are  most  deliquescent ; 
that  cr}'suUisation  always  precedes  dehquescence ;  that  alkidtnc  are 
more  cr)'stalUsable  and  more  ^Icliquescciit  than  acid  salts;  lliat  there 
seems  to  be  two  distinct  kinds  of  crj-stallisation  in  naturc^^ne,  the 
primary,  in  which  cvcr>-  clement  has  a  crjstalline  form  peculiar  to  itself; 
the  other,  serondar>',  in  which  the  cr>'5tals  are  isomoqihous.  Captain 
Ross  thinks  that  he  may  claim  as  a  discovery  the  fact  that  "  when  the 
process  of  crystallisation  in  nature  is  confined  lo  the  plane  of  the 
superficies  of  the  crystal,  a  distinct  system  of  cr)'stallisation  is  followed, 
producing  forms  widely  different  from  those  generated  under  other  con- 
ditions^— never  geometrical,  generally  in  the  shape  of  flowers,  ferns, 
trees,  or  surs,  and  not  isomorpbous." — At  the  meeting  of  the  Chemical 
Society,  on  >Iarch  5,  the  President  e.'diibiied  an  interesting  series  of 
phosphorescent  salts,  arranged,  in  one  instance,  in  a  series  to  imitate 
the  solar  spectrum  ;  and  in  another  in  the  form  of  a  gorgeous  butterfly. 
These  illustrations  were  the  work  of  M.  Gaiffe,  and  were  said  to  have 
been  prepared  from  the  sulphates  of  barium,  calcium,  &c.,  reduced,  by 
heating  with  carlion,  to  the  sute  of  sulphides.  The  saUs  were  excited 
to  phosphorescence  by  exposure  to  magnesium  lighL — The  analysis  of 
the  water  of  a  remarkable  spring  in  Jamaica,  resorted  to  by  the  negroes 
as  a  cure  for  all  discase.s  was  communicated,  on  March  4,  to  the  Phar- 
nuceutical  Society.  It  contained  the  unprecedented  proportion  of 
3i  02.  of  chloride  of  cjilcium  to  tlic  giillon,  besides  a  02.  of  common 
salt,  and  t^  grains  of  chloride  of  .ammonium.  Information  concerning 
the  history  of  the  spring  and  the  topography  of  the  district  has  been 
applied  for. — It  is  generally  supposed  that  pure  cotton  consists  entirely 
of  woody  fibre  or  cellulose.  L)r.  Schunck,  of  Manchester,  however,  has 
found  that  in  its  pristine  stale  it  conuins  a  number  of  other  ingredients, 
the  principal  of  which  are — a  species  of  vegetable  wax,  a  fatty  acid, 
coluuring  matters,  pecttc  acid,  and  a  trace  of  albuminous  matter.  Dc 
Schunck  thinks  it  probable  chat  these  foTclgn  s.M\jtf:Mwew,  -ma^j  \»aNt  vste*.-

The  number  of  convcoU  was  doubled  in

refuted  their  dcmiuiiU,  and  also  refuted 
to  c«ll  the  Cluuiiben  together  befoiv 
Slay.  Tbc  people  rose  and  took  poam-

at  lenti'b  Prince  Charles,  tbe  king's

bit  buni3ur  that,  the  king  had  consented 
to  their  dcmauds,  and  promised  lo  call 
the  cbauiber*  together  on  tbe  16th  of 
tiarch.  Tbe  people  on  receiving  thia 
auurance  restored  tbc  arnix  iu  the  arsenal 
and  dispersed  quietly.  On  the  ^ist  of 
March  there  were  freah  tuniull«,  and  iba

MADEMOISELLE     MATHILDE. 
By  Henry  Kincsley. 


CHAPTER  LX. 


TOCETHEa   ONCE   MORE. 


EIGN  OF  TERROR!  Yes,  it  had  fairly  begun.  William 

saw  nearly  the  first  of  it ;  for  retiring,  after  they  had  asked 
him  a  few  questions,  into  the  ante-room,  he,  in  a  few 
minutes,  saw  Monsieur  and  Madame  D'Isigny  come  softly 
forth.  Both  tall,  majestic,  and  handsome,  beyond  most  of  their  fellow 
men  and  women  now,  yet  with  a  lyok  in  their  grey  and  smitten  faces 
as  though  something  too  horrible  for  human  speech  had  looked  upon 
them,  and  turned  them  into  stone ! 

They  had  said  to  one  another,  as  it  were,  but  one  word  j  and  that 
was  **  Marat."  So  the)*  never  slopped,  cither  to  notice  him,  or  to 
interrogate  him  -,  but  passed  swiftly  on  down  the  stairs,  into  the 
street. 

"  Do  you  believe  it  ?"  asked  D'Isigny,  as  they  walked  rapidly. 

"  There  can  be  no  doubt,  from  what  your  man  said,"  replied 
Madame.  "  But  it  is  his  work,  and  he  will  be  hiding  at  home.  Let 
us  confront  him ;  and,  if  it  is  true,  yuu  have  your  sword,  and  can 
kill  him.  Our  only  hope  lies  with  Marat.  There  is  a  wild  chance 
that  your  man  is  wrong.  Keep  your  sword  up  under  your  redingote, 
or  wc  shall  be  stopped.'* 

"■  Yours  is  the  best  head,  Marie,"  said  D'Isigny.

**  But  a  poor  one,  ifit  has  brought  us  to  this,  Isidore." 

"  The  fault  was  mine,"'  said  he. 

"  Nay,  it  was  mine,"  she  answered. 

••  You  are  generous,  Marie." 

**  Wc  can  be  generous  to  those  we  love,  Isidore." 

D'Isigny's  hand  felt  out  in  the  dark  fur  hers,  and  it  was  done  :J 
henceforth  these  twain  were  one.  Mutually  fearing,  mutually 
spccting  one  another,  from  this  moment,  until  death,  there  was  no^ 
cloud  between  those  two. 

Even  in  this  night  of  horrors  unutterable,  the  spectacle  of  two] 
such  imperia.1  grey  figures  walking  swlfily,  attracted  attention.  Most 
people  knew  by  this  time  what  was  being  done,  and  spoke  in  whis- 
pers, lurking  at  street  comers.  The  Parisian  people  were  not  yet 
used  to  blood ;  they  were  not  yet  trained  to  the  pitch  of  howling 
round  Bailly  in  his  death  agony  for  hours. 

"  These  people  are  terrified  at  what  their  agents  arc  doing,  my 
beloved,"  said  D'lsigny. 

And  Madame  pretended  that  she  had  fux  heard  him,  and  oude, 
him  call  her  his  "  beloved  "  once  more 

**  They  will  be  educated  soon,  Isidore,"  she  answered. 

There  were  very  few  crowds  in  the  more  open  streets.  Tl 
were  many  National  Guards,  who  were  half-hearted.  Morcovi 
Roland  was  expected  to  act  (and,  in  my  opinion,  had  he  had  th< 
courage  of  a  man^  not  of  a  suicide^  might  have  acted).  The  thing 
was  being  done  by  a  small,  but  very  powerful  and  conccntratcd| 
minority.  The  Parisians  knew  this  well,  and,  without  a  leader, 
were  afraid  to  act.  That  they  disapproved  of  it,  is  proi'cd  by  their 
verdict  on  the  matter  when  they  began  to  firee  themselves  from  this 
terribly  powerful  clique  under  Tallien,  and  got  themselves  contented, 
after  seventy  years,  with  the  present  state  of  things.  1  do  not  be- 
lieve that  the  French  are  more  cruel  than  ourselves  \  but  the 
Gualchcs  had  already  invented  the  art  of  insurrection,  the  finishir 
details  of  which  arc  given  us  by  M.  Victor  Hugo  in  **  Lcs  -Misc-^ 
rablcsi"  and  so  they  kept  the  broader  streets  clear,  for  fear  of  artillery. 

So  Monsieur  and  Madame  D'lsigny  were  only  looked  at,  until 
they  came  to  the  narrow  street,  which  we  have  known  beJorc  as  the ' 
Rue  Jacquerie. 

Here  there  was  a  dense  crowd,  nearly  closing  up  the  street. 

"  Isidore,"  said  Madame,  "  wc  shall  be  assassinated ;  but  let  us' 
die  together.*'

Mademoiselle  Mathilde.

D'Isigny  knew  better.     He  put  his  arm  round  her  waist,  and  still 

walking  quickly,  cried  out  in  a  loud  voice,  which  might  be  heard 
from  one  end  of  the  street  to  the  other, — 

"  Room,  citizens,  for  ci-dtvant  D'Xsigny,  the  Breton,  known 
here  before,  who  goes  under  emergency  to  visit  the  Citoyen 
Marat.*' 

They  parted  at  once,  these  people  j  and  Madame  said  directly, 
"  He  has  gone  home." 

And  more  than  one  in  the  crowd  said,  '*  Make  way.  This  is 
n'Isigny,  the  Breton,  who  nursed  the  dead  child,  and  who  loved  and 
supported  Marat  when  he  was  deserted  of  God." 

There  was  no  difficulty  in  getting  to  Marat's  duor.  There  were 
plenty  of  assistant  hands  to  batter  at  it,  for  every  one  was  puzzled, 
and  no  one  understood  thoroughly  what  was  going  on. 

It  was  opened  by  Madame  Delit,  sister  of  Marat,'  who  had  her 
child  with  her.  "  He  has  laid  down  to  sleep,"  she  said.  "  He 
must  not  be  disturbed."  D'Isigny,  whom  she  remembered,  promptly 
put  her  aside,  and  slipping  in  with  Madame  D'Isigny  closed  the 
door  behind  him,  and  passed  quickly  upstairs,  into  the  room  wc  have 
seen  before,  and  to  the  bed  we  have  seen  before. 

Upon  it  lay  a  tangled  heap  of  grey  clothes,  from  the  upper  part 
of  which  came  a  bare  lean  arm,  the  hand  of  which  was  turned  into 
the  coarse  wavy  curls  of  what  looked  like  a  human  head.  Marar, 
on  this  night  of  unutterable  horrors,  had  thrown  himself  on  his  bed 
in  his  clothes,  and,  like  Danton,  had  slept.  There  was  no  face  to  be 
seen,  it  was  under  the  arm.  D'Isigny  was  approaching  the  bed, 
when  Madame,  quietly,  but  with  decisive  strength,  anticipated  htm, 
and  going  up  to  the  bed  said,  with  a  loud  clear  voice, — 

"  Marat,  awake !  " 

The  grey  heap  of  clothes  moved,  and  from  under  the  naked  arm 
there  came  a  fjce,  which  looked  on  that  of  Madame  D'Isigny  with 

'  1  (leejilf  regiclto  lay,  that  ttii^ugh,  I  hui:«,  3  pasnilnking  nun,  I  am  ttill  tiilliecLu):

The  Gentieman's  Magazine, 


[May, 


that  dull  stupidity  and  look  of  inquiry,  which  1  suppose  all  men  have 
when  they  first  awaken. 

I  cannot  describe  that  fiicc}  but  1  can  describe  the  effect  of  i^^ 
however. 

As  it  moved  from  under  the  naked  ann  and  disclosed  ttself,' 
lyisigny^  who  had  seen  it  before,  drew  back  and  tutncd  away. 
Madame  drew  up  her  crest  like  a  rattlesnake,  prepared  to  strike, 
and  confronted  it.  Not  only  with  courageous  defiance,  but  with 
furious  words,  words  which  1  am  loth  to  use,  but  which,  con- 
sidering the  period,  the  people  concerned,  and  the  situation,  I  am^ 
compelled  to  use. 

"  Marat,  thou  dog,  thou  hast  dted  in  thy  sleep,  and  hast  awakened 
in  hell.  I,  the  other  fury  of  the  Revolution,  demand  to  kitow  what 
thou  hast  done  with  my  daughter,  Mathildc  I  " 

The  heap  of  grey  clothes,  wUh  the  face  among  them,  was  sitting' 
on  the  side  of  the  bed  directly. 

"  It  is  not  hell  i  .nnd  thou  art  distracted,"  said  Marat.  '^  I  know 
of  but  one  Mathildc,  and  she  is  safe  In  Brittany.  And  who  art  thou^ 
thou  grey  fury  ?  " 

"I  am  Madame  D'lsigny.     My  daughter^  Mathilde,  has   becaj 
murdered  by  your  orders.     I  ordered  her  to  personate  her  sister,  the 
Marquise  dc  Valognes,  and    our   groom   says   that   she   has   bceu 
murdered  ;  perhaps  it  is  not  so.     Say  it  is  not  so  ! " 

"  You  mean,"  said  Marat,  "  that  you  seot  Mathildc  to  Paris  to 
personate  her  sister  ?  " 

"  That  is  the  case,  man  !  ** 

"  Oh,  you  incredible  lunatics  f     In  what  prison  was  she  ?  " 

«  In  the  Abbayc." 

"Why,  she  nursed  me  and  tended  me  when  1  was  pcnnilci*  and 
alone.  Why,  I  could  have  saved  her.  Why,  I  liberated  eight,  fuur . 
days  ago,  in  addition  to  Donton's  list,  from  the  same  prison.  1  saw  ia 
the  list  of  the  imprisoned,  Marquise  de  Valognes,  whom  I  remember 
as  a  foolish  girl  who  insulted  me,  and  all  the  time  through  your  silly 
deceit  it  was  my  own  Mathilde,  for  whom  I  would  have  died.  Come 
quickly,  there  is  yet  some  glimmer  of  hope.  Quick  !  quick  !  Are 
you  mndc  of  stone  ? " 

Marat,  descending  the  staircase,  fluttered  swiftly  in  his  grey 
clothes  along  the  street  before  them  like  a  bat  before  two  herons. 
Not  a  soul  spoke  to  any  of  the  three,  for  they  knew  Marat  well,  and 
guessed  wh.it  u'as  going  on.  The  conscience  of  the  Rue  dc  JacqueriCj 


i86S.] 


Madetnoiselle  Alathihie,

was  troubled,  and  it  was  a  little  afraid  of  its  idol.  The  idol  also  had 
signs  by  which  it  made  the  worshippers  understand  that  this  was  not 
the  hour  of  sacrifice  or  prayerful  flatter)'. 

The  streets  grew  more  and  more  solitary  as  they  grew  broader, 
and  the  tall>  strong  couple  had  a  difficulty  sometimes  in  keeping 
pace  with  the  figure  which  passed  so  rapidly  on  before  them  under 
the  lanthorns,  casting  on  the  wall  and  pavement  a  hundred 
ilickering  shadows,  more  goblin-like  than  itself.  At  last,  in  the 
distance,  at  the  end  of  a  street^  chcy  saw  a  tall  narrow  building 
of  many  stories,  with  two  little  turrets  at  each  corner,  in  front 
of  which  there  was  a  small  crowd  with  flambeaux,  the  light 
of  which  lit  up  every  angle  In  the  building  from  the  lower 
side.  There  was  rapid  occasional  movement  in  the  crowd,  but 
very  little  noise,  and  neither  of  our  friends  at  first  understood 
what  was  going  on.,  until  IVLirat  stopped  and  s:iid,  holding  up  his 
arm, — 

^'  This  is  the  work  of  your  order.  It  is  possible  that  I  may  have 
to  ask  you  to  look  on  it ;  but  will  spare  you  if  I  can.  Stay  here. 
I  will  return  immediately." 

Time,  in  their  terror  for  what  was  so  dear  for  them,  had  become 
dead.  The  courage  of  both  (ailed.  D'lsigny,  with  the  instijict  of  a 
gentleman,  stood  between  his  wife  and  what  was  going  on  under  the 
flambeaux  \  but  indeed  she  was  as  well  able  to  bear  it  as  he.  Earth 
seemed  gone  from  them,  and  the  only  link  between  them  and  hape 
was  the  wolf  whose  maddened  head  conceived  the  inJquit)*.  In  their 
rapidly  vanishing  hope,  they  almost  loved  him. 

He  was  quickly  back  with  four  men  :  and  they  knew  the  fearful 
truth  with  certainty.  *^  We  arc  too  late  here,"  said  MaraCj  and 
paused,  even  he. 

They  were  dumb  with  horror  and  grief,  and  said  nothing.  For 
the  time,  Marat  was  time  and  the  world  to  them,  and  they  hung 
upon  his  gxsping  lips. 

"  It  may  Jiot  be  too  late  elsewhere,  for  another  purpose,"  he  said, 
very  quietly.  *'  Go  with  these  five  men.  Each  one  of  them  has 
the  power  of  an  emperor  or  a  king  to-night,  for  he  is  patriut.  You 
are  safe  with  them.     I,  Marat,  say  so." 

"Will  you  not  go  with  us,  M.  Marat?"  asked  Madame  D'Isigny. 

"  Fools,  conspirators  of  the  salon,  how  fit  arc  you  for  revolution. 
Why,  if  my  beloved  sister  lay  dead  upon  the  stones  before  me,  I 
could  think,  I  could  act.     You  stand  like  frightened  sheep  before

1  have  been  late  at  the  Abbayc,  and  must  fly  to  the  Conciergerie. 
If,  in  consequence  of  your  incredible  imbecility,  I  have  not  been 
able  to  save  your  daughter  Mathildc,  there  !»  yet  a  wild  chance  that 
I  may  save  your  son-in-law,  De  Valognes." 

He  pnsscd  swiftly  from  their  sight  into  the  darkness,  and  they  saw 
him  no  more. 

The  five  men  hurried  them  away.  "  There  is  barely  time,"  one 
said  J  "  wc  must  be  very  quick.  You  know  me,  D'Isigny  ;  I  am 
Jean  Bon,  who  first  brought  you  to  Marat's  house." 

"  I  know  you,"  said  D'Isigny,  "  ajiJ  I  will  reward  you." 

"  1  want  no  money.  Wetakeonlythcwagcsof  thcCommunc.*  We 
are  enrages^  and  aristocrat  money  would  burn  our  hands.  I  want  swift 
walking,  though.  Canyour  wife  walk  swiftly,  or  shall  we  leave  her:" 

Madame  could  walk  as  h&t  as  any  of  them,  and  proved  It.  Once 
more  time  was  in  abeyance,  even  now  that  hope  was  gone.  The 
streets  grew  narrow,  and  once  more  again  brQad,  and  upon  the  night 
air  were  borne  whisperings  of  trees  and  faint  scents  of  the  country, 
carried  from  a  distance  in  the  fresh  wind  of  the  coming  summer  morn. 
At  last,  in  a  square  place,  among  larger  streets,  they  came  on  another 
group  of  flambeaux,  and  were  stopped  again. 

Jean  Bon  went  on  :  "  I  knew  her  well,"  he  said ;  "  I  saw  her  in  the 
Abbayc."  And  they  let  him  go,  and  after  a  time  he  carac  back  again. 

'*  Wc  are  too  late  here  again,"  he  said,"in  a  whisper. 

'''What  place  is  that?  "  said  Madame,  pointing  to  the  flambeaux. 

"The   opening  which   the  secret  committee  of  the  Commune 
caused   to  be   made   in   the  caucombs,"  whispered  Jean  Bon  ta, 
Madame,  for  D'Isigny  was  spent  and  dumb. 

*' Shall  wc  have  no  relics  of  her,  then  f  "  asked  her  mother. 

*'Hcr  good  works,"  said  Jean  Bon,  "  and  this.      They  found  it 
on  hct  bosom.    Wc  do  not  steal,  and  the  Commune  would  have  got 
it.     But  I  had  it  given  up  directly  when  I  told  them  that  her  mother] 
had  come  even  here  to  seek  her." 

She  took  wliat  he'gave  her  mechanically,  and  they  were  escorted

home,  knowing  nothing  and  caring  nothing  about  their  own  fete. 
The  lamp  in  D'Isigny's  room  was  still  burning  when  they  got  home, 
and  D*Isigny  cast  himself  on  his  bed.     Madame  came  to  him. 

"  This  is  all  we  have  left  of  her,"  said  she,  and  showed  hioi 
what  Jean  Bon  had  given  her.

the  true  cross  set  ia  it.  On  one  leaf,  which  opened  easiest  to 
D'lsigny's  hand,  as  being  the  most  used,  there  was  an  illumination  in 
red,  which  the  patient  monk  who  had  done  the  beautiful  work  had 
never  contemplated ;  though  unconsciously,  he  in  his  way,  by  his 
idea  of  making  an  ideal  lazy  Heaven  in  this  world,  had  helped  that 
Slate  of  aifairs  which  set,  centuries  afterwards,  the  broad  red  stain 
across  his  lilies  and  his  Ivy  leaves.

real  earnestness  oF  purpose  to  make  them  well  thought  of  among  the 
very  best  and  highest  of  their  acquaintances,  life  is  generally  very 
precious.  Louis  de  Valogncs  had  all  these  qualifications  for  an 
entire  enjoyment  of  life  even  when  he  was  a  cadet.  Superadded  to 
all  these  things  now  he  had  a  splendid  estate,  a  beautiful  wife  loved 
beyond  measure,  and  a  position  such  as  would  be  envied  by  most 
men  in  Europe. 

And  it  was  all  gone  from  him  utterly.  The  pleasant,  smiling 
Atlantic  of  prestige,  love,  wealth,  society,  had  sunk  from  below  hii 
feet,  as  the  sea  had  sunk  from  the  feet  of  him  and  Andre  Desillcson 
the  first  day  when  you  saw  them  sitting  together  on  the  rocks  at  Sl 
Malo,  Of  his  deeply-loved  wife  he  had  seen  but  little,  of  his  child,  the 
melancholy  baby,  still  less.  He  was  a  very  aft'ectionate  man,  and 
had  always  had  some  one  on  whom  to  lavish  his  afFcciioii.  Now  he 
was  all  alone  \  for  the  people  with  whom  he  was  confined  did  not 
suit  him,  and  indeed  he  scarcely  suited  them,  for  the  son-in-Uw  of 
the  traitor  and  trimmer  D'Isigny,  friend  of  Marat,  could  scarcely  be 
popular  among  them  ^  and  again  he  thought  them  for  the  most  p-ut 
frivolous,  vain,  and  shallow,  with  all  their  courage. 

"  These  people,"  he  said  to  himself  once  bitterly,  while  eating  his 
own  heart  in  his  bitter  disappointment, "  arc  ready  to  die  decently,  yet 
a  good  number  of  them  never  managed  to  live  decently.  Old  Cardinal 
Leroy  has  sufficient  personal  courage  to  prevent  him  making  a  scene 
on  the  scaffold  ;  I  never  heard  of  any  one  who  did,  except  Lady 
Salisbury,  and  she  only  did  it  through  an  excess  of  personal  coun^. 
These  people,  who  one  half  of  them  have  neglected  every  duty, 
now  take  credit  for  courage.     Bah  !" 

"  And  their  manners,"  he  growled  on,  in  his  sour  mood,  "  they 
are  no  better  than  mine :  their  tittle-tattles  about  precedence  arc  to 
me  insupportable  now  that  hell  has  broken  loose.  Why  if  that  old 
fool,  Dc  Barsac,  happened  to  be  sleeping  with  his  wife  when  the 
last  trump  sounded,  he  would  hold  a  polite  argument  with  hct^  as  to 
which  of  them  etiquette  required  to  get  out  of  bed  first." 

"  I  am  sick  of  the  whole  thing.  I  want  my  liberty  and  my  wife. 
The  worst  of  it  is  that  these  Parisians  seem  to  have  arrested  all  the 
fools  to  keep  me  company,  and  to  leave  all  the  clever  men  walking 
free.     I  suppose  it  will  be  the  turn  of  the  clever  men  next.*' 

Poor  Louis.  Life  so  dear,  and  yet  at  the  price  so  worthless.  H< 
moped  alone,  and  hungered  in  his  heart  for  one  look  of  Adcle. 
The  look  she  had  when  she  came  towards  him   with  her  mouth

slightly  curled  up  at  the  corneiS}  and  when  her  eyebrows  fallowed 
the  motion  of  her  mouth  :  the  look  that  told  him  that  he  was  loved 
above  all  things  on  earth,  and  most  things  in  heaven. 

Where  was  she  ?  In  prison  or  saved  ?  How  far  would  these 
revolutionists  dare  to  go  ?  Not  to  the  extent  of  death,  surely  ? 
And  so  the  poor,  innocent,  kindly  lad  sat  and  ate  his  heart  alone, 
for  the  frivolity,  the  snuft-boxing,  the  badinage,  of  the  ghosts  down- 
stairs were  as  insufferable  for  him  to  sec  as  it  is  for  mc  or  you  to 
read  of. 

On  the  afternoon  of  the  night  in  which  Maihildc  was  lost,  he 
bcCAmc  aware  that  the  prisoners  were  being  sent  into  the  street,  and 
were  being  murdered.  The  man  who  told  him  was  a  young  man, 
like  himself,  with  a  wife,  who  had  sympathised  with  him,  and  who 
had  sources  of  information. 

*■'■  Are  they  killing  all  ?  "  said  Louis. 

"  I  think  so.  Danton,  I  know,  sent  out  lists,  which  were  sup- 
plemented by  Marat.  The  people  on  those  lists  were  those  we  saw 
removed  yesterday.     You  and  I,  you  sec,  were  not  removed." 

Death  then  :  and  without  even  one  last  kiss  from  Adcle.  It  was 
come  to  this. 

Through  long  hours  he  sat  and  brooded  in  his  window  on  the 
stairs,  and  heard  one  after  another  go  down.  He  tried  to  prepare 
himself  to  die  ■■,  but  life  was  too  sweet,  and  he  could  not  do  it.  So 
far  from  getting  into  a  frame  of  mind  lit  to  meet  his  God,  he  got 
into  a  frame  of  mind  far  more  fit  to  meet  the  Devil.  *'  Oh,  for  a 
knife  t  even  chat  I  might  give  an  account  of  even  one." 

It  was  towards  the  dawning  of  the  summer  morning  when  he  was 
summoned.  Five  men  came  to  summon  him,  and  he  saw  ihem  go 
into  the  dog-hole  where  he  had  slept. 

**  What  Is  your  errand  for  i"  "  he  cried. 

*'  Ci-dtvant  Dc  VaJogncs,"  cried  one,  in  reality  Jean  Bon,  friend 
of  Marat. 

«  I  am  he." 

"  Come  down,  then,"  said  Jean  Bon,  taking  him  by  the  arm,  and 
whispering  to  him,  **  Be  discreet." 

This  whisper  was  overheard,  by  at  least  one  of  the  live,  who  at 
once  spoke  out. 

"  Jean  Bon,  thou  art  a  dog,  a  traitor,  and  a  liar }  and  Marat  is  not 
all  the  world." 

So  Louis  went  to  his  hopeless  death  down  the  stairs,  Jean  Bon

holding  him  by  the  arm.  He  would  have  bolted  had  he  not  known 
whstwas  going  on  outside ;  but  he  only  prayed^  2nd  found  that,  in 
the  lasc  agonyj  the  power  of  prayer  had  come. 

A  smell  of  brandy  and  tobacco,  and  he  was  in  a  lighted  rootiO 
with  six  men,  in  a  row,  on  one  side  of  it,  and   he  himself,  wit 
five  guides,  on  the  other. 

Once  more  Jean  Bon  whispered,  "  Be  discreet !  "  but  h^ 
not  understand,  and  yet  was  discreet;  believing  that  his  deaih 
three  minutes  oft'. 

**  Who  is  this  man  ? "  said  the  president  of  the  tribunal. 

"  Ci'dtvant  Louis  dc  Valogncs,"  replied  Jean  Bon. 

"  His  crime  f"  

"  None.  I,  Jean  Bon,  itiiown  as  a  patriot,  declare  that  there  k 
nothing  against  this  man.  This  man  is  an  aristocrat  by  birth;  be 
has  married  into  his  order.  Well,  then;  he  married  the  daughter 
of  D'Isigny,  the  Breton,  friend  of  Marat;  and  is  brother-in-law  to 
Mathilde,  the  friend  and  nurse  of  Marat,  when  he  had  no  friends. 
This  man  is  innocent." 

•*  It  seems  to  me,"  said  the  president,  rather  promptly,  "  that  this 
man  Is  perfectly  innocent.  Are  there  any  specific  chargcsa^inst  him?" 

'■*■  He  is  an  aristocrat,"  cried  the  patriot  who  had  quarrelled  with 
Jean  Bon  on  the  stairs.  "  He  was  friend  of  the  murderer  of  Nanci, 
whose  funeral  obsequies  were  performed  on  the  Champ  dc  Alars, 
with  those  of  his  fcllow-murjcrcrs,  by  Lafayette  and  Bailly.'" 

"  My  dear  friend,"  said  the  president,  "  I  am  an  aristocrat  my- 
self; as  is  St.  Hutuges.  For  Andre  Dcsille*,  you  must  be  in  a 
state  of  distraction — he  was  killed  In  trying  to  save  life.  Is  that 
against  him?  " 

It  appeared  so. 

"  Dismiss  him  with  *  Vive  la  Nation,'  then,  and,  Jean  Bon,  kt 
close  to  him.** 

Jean  Bon  kept  close  to  him,  and  said,  '■'■  Shut  your  eyes,  for  you 
have  been  near  death,  and  tremble." 

Louis  shut  his  eyes,  but  did  not  keep  them  shut,  ioz  be  <^»nied_ 
them  too  soon,  and  saw  bclbre  him  a  handsome  young  num,  wi| 
outspread  arms,  lying,  as  if  crucified,  on  the  pavement,'     After  thf 
he  closed  them  again,  and,  led  by  Jean  Bon,  passed  on  in  safety.

CHAPTER  LXIL 


THE   ALTAR. 

D'IsiCN'Y  threw  himself  on  his  bed  when  ihcy  got  home,  and 
lay  there,  saying  not  one  word.  Madame,  saying  not  one  word 
cither,  paced  up  and  down  the  room  with  her  hands  beside  her. 
Each  one  was  thinking  that  there  might  be  terrible  recriminations  on 
either  side,  yet  both  were  quite  unwilling  to  begin  them.  There 
was  nothing  now  left  to  cither  of  them  but  the  other;  a  ncw-bora 
love,  the  love  of  the  old  for  the  old,  was  nascent  between  them. 
Both  of  them  dreaded  ics  disturbance.  Sd  Madame,  walking  up  and 
down  the  room,  kept  saying,  *'  It  was  my  fault  for  using  Adelc's  house 
as  a  rendezvous  for  the  followers  of  Charcttc  and  Larochejaquelcin." 
And  D'Istgny  lay  on  the  bed  In  dumb  grief,  saying  to  himself,  '^  It 
was  my  fault  for  telling  her  to  continue  her  .falsehood."  So  these 
two  were  silent :  each  refusing  to  speak,  each  ready  to  ytcld. 

There  opened  the  door,  and  there  came  in  a  gho^t,  It  was  the 
ghost  of  Louis  de  Valognes. 

"  I  have  been  saved,"  he  said,  *'  and  I  know  all.  Wc  will  mourn 
Cogcchcr,  fur  we  are  all  three  guilty  of  her  death.  I  have  had  my 
share  in  it,  as  I  had  in  the  death  of  my  Andre  Desilles.  It  was  I,  by 
my  cowardly  deceit,  who  kept  her  from  Andre  until  it  was  too  late. 
You,  sir,  by  your  ejttrcmc  precisianism,  made  me  fear  you,  and  drove 
us  all  into  deceit ;  and  you,  madame,  who  could  have  saved  all  this 
misery,  separated  yourself  from  your  family  by  your  violence.  Are 
wc  not  all  three  to  blame,  I  ask  ?  " 

The  answer  was  a  mournful  "  Yes." 

In  a  subdued  and  humble  frame  of  mind,  and  in  a  low  voice,  they 
discussed  details  which  Shakspearc,  with  his  bold,  clear,  decisive 
drawing,  might  handle,  but  which  I,  wanting  hts  art,  must  leave 
alone,  from  sheer  inability  to  do  so  without  offending  the  great  "  Ars 
Poctica"  canon,  in  which  I  believe.  They  talked  long,  and  theji 
Louis  Went  out  to  arouse  William  and  get  further  facts. 

It  was  nine  o'clock  in  the  morning,  and  broad  glorious  day,  when 
Louis  went  out  to  him.  The  first  thing  which  Louis  saw  was  a 
wild,  dirty-looking  man  in  the  further  doorway,  who  pointed  with 
his  finger  to  something  in  a  corner  close  to  Louis's  feet,  nodded,  and 
then  vanished.     This  was  the  very  last  of  Jean  Bon.

Louis  turned  towards  the  corner  indicitcd  by  Jean  Bon,  2nd  grew 
lerrifietl  for  3  moment.  On  the  floor  tn  that  corner  lay  William  ihc 
Silent,  of  whom  no  one  had  thought,  on  his  back,  just  as  he  h«l 
cast  himsrlf  down  after  his  fearful  swift  struggle  for  life.  He  laj  on 
the  door  with  his  arms  stretched  out,  so  awfully  like  the  figure 
which  Louis  had  seen  on  the  pavement  in  from  of  the  Concicrgerie, 
that  he  dreaded  to  approach  him. 

Overpowered  with  sleep  he  lay  there,  not  dead,  not  likely  to  die : 
only  lytr^  in  the  happy  death  of  sleep,  just  as  he  had  cast  himself 
down.  He  had  nothing  on  him  but  the  clothe*  In  which  he  escaped, 
his  breeches,  stockings,  and  shirt.  His  shirt  was  open  at  the  breast, 
and  on  the  centre  of  his  breast  lay  a  letter.  Louis,  bending  over 
him,  took  the  letter  from  his  breast,  putting  his  hand  on  the  left 
side  of  it.  William's  heart  was  going  as  steadily,  and  as  well,  as 
his  brother's  did  when  he  stood  with  his  thumb  on  the  louch-bolc 
of  the  thirty-eight  pounder,  and  after  the  first  horrible  and  glorious 
two  hours  of  Tra&lgar. 

\lc  was  easy  about  William,  but  he  took  the  letter  from  his  uncon- 
scious chest,  and  went  back  to  Monsieur  and  Madame  D'Isigny, 
saying,  in  his  pretty  French  way,  "  Here  is  an  offering  which  I  have 
stolen  from  the  highest  of  all  altars,  the  bare  breast  of  a  ihotoughly 
noble  person.     May  we  hear  its  contents  ?  " 

D'Isigny  read  it  to  them  at  once.

"  I  believe  that  I  am  traitor  for  what  I  do,  yet  I  have  consulted 
CamiUe  Desmoulins  and  Barbaroux  ■■,  and  they  say  that  I  am  tight. 

**  My  heart  is  grieved.  It  was  the  stupidity  of  you  and  your 
wife  which  caused  the  mischief.  I  will  make  what  amends  I  can 
to  you.  If  you  have  a  heart  as  good  as  a  dog's,  you  will  sec  that 
it  was  not  my  fi^ult.  The  nation  is  beginning  its  vengeance,  far 
many  thines.  A  time  will  come  when  the  civilized  world  will 
sum  up,  in  retirement,  the  case  between  us  and  l>etwccn  you ; 
and  mark  me,  the  balance  of  atrocities  will  be  against  you  aris- 
tocrats;  or  the  world  is  delivered  to  the  devil:  a  thing  1  do  oot,

"  With  regard    to   your  order,  wc  mean  to  slay,  and  slay,  a^fl 
slay.     Your   order    has    courage,  brains,  very  often    high    virtue. 
These  three  things  oppose  our  views,  and  we  mean  to  put  an  end 
to  them    by  death.      If  your  order  had    been  less  dangerous, 
might  have  lived :  as  it  is,  you  must  die.

CHAPTER   LXIII. 

SHEEPSDEN'   ONCB   MORE. 

The  old  house  once  more,  but  in  more  quiet  times.  The  golden 
autumn  had  faded  from  his  brighter  glories,  until  only  a  few  fluttering 
yellow  and  red  leaves  were  wasting  on  the  trees.  November  was 
dying  into  December ;  the  wild  spring  winds  and  rains  under  which 
I  had  first  to  introduce  Sheepsden  to  you,  had  blown  themselves 
into  quiescence,  and  all  was  still. 

Yet  Sheepsden  in  a  way  was  more  lively  and  more  pleasant  than 
it  had  ever  been  before,  for  there  were  more  people  there.  They 
were  none  of  them  cheerful,  for  the  shadow  of  the  great  disaster  had 
not  yet  passed  away ;  they  were  all  subdued,  and  still  the  mere  number 
of  them  brightened  up  Sheepsden ;  for  there  were  assembled  there 
nearly  all  the  people  of  our  story,  inside  the  screen.  The  French 
party  had  returned,  and  had  quietly  asked  the  English  party  to  a 
supper:  Mrs.  Bone,  William,  and  the  Rector's  and  Sir  Lionel's 
men  were  waiting,  and  they  were  all  speaking  in  a  very  subdued 
tone,  so  that  it  was  difficult  for  one  pair  of  speakers  to  hear  what 
the  other  said  or  for  the  general  company  to  hear  what  ■AX\y  particular 
pair  of  speakers  said.     Madame  D'Isigny  sat  at  the  head  of  the 


I

table,  and   Monsieur   fronted   her.    The/  were  almost  absolutely 
$ilent. 

The  Rector,  sitting  between  the  Marquis  de  Valognes  and  Sir 
Lionel  Somers,  happened  to  talk  to  the  former  first. 

'*  I  have  not  realised  it  yet,"  said  he,  "  what  actually  became  of 
her.     Where  was  she  buried  ? " 

*^  In  the  Catacombs,  which  the  Secret  Committee  of  the  Com- 
mune had  opened  five  days  before." 

"  It  seems  incredible,"'  said  the  Rectoi. 

**  It  would  not  seem  so  to  you  if  you  had  been  where  I  have," 
said  Louts. 

The  Rector  had  scarcely  realised  it  as  yet  He  turned  to  Sir 
Lionel. 

"Lionel,"  he  said,  "there  is  another  saint  in  glory,  and  a  friend, 
of  yours,  Evans,  is  dead." 

"  Ah  !  So  I  should  have  expected  i  his  death  has  been  near  for 
two  years.  I  am  not  sorry,  Rector ;  how  can  I  be  ?  When  did  he 
die?" 

"  On  the  first  of  September." 

"  Then  Maihtlde  and  he  will  actually  meet,"  said  Sir  Lionel- 
*^  How  passing  strange.  My  time  will  not  come  yet,  and  when  it 
docs  they  will  have  wandered  so  far  into  the  maze  of  paradise  thjt 
I  shall  not  be  able  to  overtake  them;  and  even  if  I  could,  I  should 
not  know  them  for  the  gtory  which  would  be  in  their  faces.  Will 
they  wait  for  me,  those  two,  do  you  think,  Rector  ?  " 

The  theology  of  Oxford  offered  no  answer  to  this  singular  question ; 
but  as  a  man  of  the  world  the  Rector  found  a  lame  answer  for  him. 
**  Lionel,  my  boy,  you  must  not  brood  and  get  fanciful." 

^'I  will  not,"  said  Sir  Lionel.  *^I  have  no  such  intention. 
There  is  surely  nothing  fanciful  in  hoping  that  1  may  see  Mathilde 
and  Evans  ag;iin,  and  in  company,  for  they  were  twin  souls.  Are 
the  Revelations  fanciful  i" 

"  Lionel,''  said  the  Rector,  "  you  should  remember  how  very 
little  is  revealed  about  the  future  of  the  blest." 

"  I  know,"  said  Sir  Lionel,  "and  I  know  what  I  mean  also. 
What  has  become  of  Evans*  widow  ?  Because  she  must  be  haitd- 
somely  provided  for." 

"  She  was  In  deep  poverty  and  ill  health,  but  she  is  wcU  provided 
for  now." 

"By  whom?"  he  asked.

*'  By  your  mother." 

«  No  ! "  he  said.  "  That  is  very  beautiful.  Mother,"  he  said  to 
Lady  Somcis,  who  was  sitting  solemnly  beside  her  old  schoolfellow, 
Madame  D'Isigny,  ^^  the  Rector  and  I  have  been  speaking  of  Mrs. 
Evans,  and  I  give  you  my  thanks." 

"And  I  give  you  my  blessing,  my  son,"  replied  the  old  lady, 
turning  once  more  to  Madame  D'Isigny. 

"  My  dear  Marie,"  she  continued,  **  whatever  could  have  made 
inc  dislike  you  ?" 

"  My  furious  ill  temper,'*  said  Madame  the  Tvmblc  1  '*  and,  more- 
over, the  failure  in  winning  my  husband's  love.  Yet  you  never  saw 
it  at  its  best.  Sister  dear,"  she  said,  '•*■  was  I  not  terrible  at  my  worst  ? 
Do  you  remember  the  day  at  La  Garaye  \ " 

A  bland,  timid,  and  pale  old  lady,  who  sat  on  the  other  side  of 
Lady  Somcrs,  in  a  religious  dress,  raised  her  head  and  said,— 

"  Yes,  sister,  I  remember  it.  You  were  angry  with  us,  but  you 
saved  our  lives  by  your  courage." 

"  You  were  the  Lady  Superior  of  Dinort,'  madame,"  said  Lady 
Somcrs.  "My  heart  burned  when.  I  heard  of  your  splendid 
heroism.     Your  nuns  are  here,  madame,  I  understand." 

"  They  are  at  Lulworth,  with  the  Welds,"  answered  our  old  friend, 
the  I-ady  Superior  of  Dinorc,  Lady  Visitor  of  La  Garaye.  *'  They 
will  be  provided  for  among  the  Catholic  English  families  in  various 
ways.  For  me,  I  stay  with  my  brother,  and  go  and  see  them  some- 
times." 

Said  Mrs.  iJone  to  WiUiam,  "  So  this  is  your  going  abroad  \ " 

SaidWilliamtoMrs.Bone,  "  You  arcalw.iys  right.  That's  just  it." 

Said  Martin  the  Poacher,  who  had  looked  in,  hearing  that  the 
gentlefolks  were  going  to  meet  at  supper,  on  the  chance  of  a  feed, 
to  William  in  the  scullery, — 

**  They're  carrying  on  fine  games,  they  French." 

And  William  said,  "Fine  games  indeed." 

Ajid  Martin  said,  *' And^so  you  circumvented  of  the  hull  lot.  I'd 
never  have  give  you  credit  for  it,  but  you  done  it.  Your  uncle

CHAPTER   LXIV. 


A    CHAPTER   WHICH    I    HOrE    THE   HEADER    WILL   BE   SOKRY   TO 

READ,   FOR   IT    IS   THE   LAST. 

Sir  LiON'EL  Somers  married  his  mother  after  all,  as  the  valley 
had  before  accused  hini  of  doing.  At  least  he  married  no  one 
else  until  four  years  after  her  death.  Whom  he  married  I  cither 
have  forgotten  or  do  not  care,  but  there  was  an  heir  to  Ashurst 
born  in  the  early  part  of  this  century,  who  stUl  sits  in  the  House  of 
Lord*. 

In  the  awful  storm,  which  followed  the  retreat  of  those  with  whoai' 
Z  have  made  you  acquainted  from  France>  not  one  of  them  moved 
in  the  French  Revolution.  D'Isigny  was  declared  Aaigr/  and  his 
estates  confiscated,  leaving  him  utterly  dependent  on  his  Airious,  now- 
tamed,  wife,  which  was  not  a  bad  thing  for  him. 

Strangely  enough,  Louis  de  Valognes  was  never  declared  tmigri. 
Estates  of  his  were  confiscated  and  taken  possession  of  by  several 
laws,  passed  in  the  turmoil  which  followed,  yet  he  was  never 
declared  I'mign'.  The  melancholy  baby,  whom  I  knew  at  Dieppe 
when  he  was  sixty,  was  not  without  means.  Under  the  Tallicn 
reaction,  and  under  the  Buonaparte  reaction,  Louis  might  have 
recovered  the  main  of  his  estates,  but  lacked  the  cash  required  in  a 
civilised  country  to  get  himself  righted. 

For  the  rest  of  him,  he  would  not  stand  Tallien ;  and  Adel 
would,  of  course,  have  died  sooner  than  speak  to  the  Cabarus  ;  or, 
indeed,  to  Madame  Buonaparte  in  the  disreputable  days,  while  she 
still  rode  with  the  Cabarus  in  the  Bois  dc  Boulogne,  on  a  white 
horse,  and  while  Napoleon  was  on  his  fool's  errand  in  Egypt*  On 
the  receipt  of  the  news  of  The  Nile  she  said  that  she  had  always, 
from  the  first,  said  that  this  would  be  the  end  of  it.  But  no  living 
soul  had  ever  heard  her  say  so;  and  besides,  it  was  not  the  end  of 
it  at  all,  only  the  begixuiing. 

When  NapoWon,  \\ovi%v«,  was  well  seated,  Louis,  hungerin.

after  his  old  trade,  offered  his  services ;  and  Adcic,  now  that 
Cabarus  was  not  received,  was  content  to  make  her  bow  before  the 
hcretororc  disreputable  Josephine.  Louis  got  emptoyment,  and  rose 
high  i  though  he  never  was  Marshal.  The  melancholy  baby  early 
in  life  turned  Legitimist  in  politics,  and  Ultramontane  in  religion, 
which,  as  Mrs.  Bone  would  say,  "  vexed  his  pa."     Excant. 

William  the  Silent  married  Mrs.  Bone.  That  is  to  say,  he  never 
married  her  in  the  way  of  taking  her  to  church  ;  seeing  that  she 
was  old  enough  to  be  his  grandmother,  it  would  have  been  strange  if 
he  had.  But  he  gave  up  his  life  to  her  lirst,  and  to  the  D'Isignys 
afterwards.  Audrey,  hts  sweetheart,  being  desirous  of  a  wedded 
lite,  married  the  rising  young  sweep  from  Stourminster-Osborne, 
and  William  did  not  care  a  bit.  So  time  went  on  ;  the  Revolution 
blazed  up,  died  into  Tallienlsm,  Buonapartism,  while  the  war  blazed 
on  steadily,  getting  in  its  heat  from  red  tr>  white  :  until — until — it 
was  all  over.  Nothing  left  but  the  command  of  the  seas  (now  lost], 
840,000,000/.  of  debt,  and  a  tradition  of  great  deeds  sufficient  to  keep 
any  n.ition  alive  for  a  century. 

So  I  have  accounted  for  every  one  of  my  characters.  You  shake 
your  head,  and  say  that  there  is  still  one  of  whom  I  have 
given  no  account.  Why,  I  gave  the  last  account  of  this  man  fifteen 
months  ago,  when  I  first  made  acc^uaintancc  with  you.  You  desire 
more.     Well,  then. 

It  was  during  the  peace  of  Amiens  that  Madame  and  Monsieur 
D'Isigny  were  walking  through  their  estate  at  Shccpsdcii  together. 
They  had  walked  down  to  the  ford,  where  Louis  de  Valogncs  had 
met  Adeic  in  the  old  times,  and  J5*lsigny  had  said,  *'  I  hate  the 
place;  it  was  partly  the  cause  of  all  tht;  mischief."  And  Madame  had 
said,  "  Isidore,  let  us  walk  aloft  on  the  down ;"  and  they  had  gone 
up,  and  rambled  along  the  road  which  came  from  Chmtchurch, 
when  they  saw  a  young  priest  coming  swiftly  along  the  road  towards 
them. 

He  stopped,  of  course,  and  spoke.  "I  seek  the  house  of  M. 
D'Isigny  of  Brittany.     Kind  sir,  can  you  guide  me  ?  " 

"  I  am  D'Isigny  the  Breton." 

"  I  have  a  message  for  you  from  the  dead,"  said  the  priest.  *'  I 
am  for  Lulworth,  but  have  made  the  detour.  In  the  black  dark- 
ness of  worse  than  death  I  have  kept  to  my  purpose,  and  so  sec  it  is 
executed  at  last.'' 

D'Isigny  took  a  brown  soiled  letter  from  V\vTf\.j-j.ui.  o^t'&ft.Vw

there  were  but  few  words  in  it :  but  there  was  a  curl  of  grey  black 
hair  in  it  which  he  lcncw>  and  which  made  him  put  his  hands  to  his, 
head  and  moan  aloud. 

Madame  picked  up  the  letter,  and  knew  the  curl  of  hair  as 
as  he.     The  letter  was  very  shorty  slie  read  it  aloud. 

"I  dread  committing  any  one,  but  I  have  been  two  years  tn 
ptison  now>  and  they  say  that  this  Carrier  who  has  come  down  has 
no  mercy.  It  is  equal.  I  fear  not  dashii^  at  the  gate  of  glory- 
Yet  the  others.  You,  to  whom  this  is  written,  be  careful  of 
Mathildc,  for  she  knows  how  to  die  too  well.  Xhis  young  priest, 
to  whom  1  give  this,  is  strong  and  athletic,  and  is  going  to  try  to 
escape.     You  sec  that  I  can  say  no  moic." 

At  they  walked,  the  young  priest  told  them  how  the  end  had 
come.  This  young  priest  was  a  Jesuit  (forgive  me,  my  readers), 
and  had  been  selected  by  the  Order  for  missionary  work,  in  con- 
sequence oi  being  singularly  athletic  and  powerful.  Arrested  0.1 
his  way  to  Brest,  en  rouu  for  Fondicherry,  he  had  been  sent 
to  Nantes,  wher<.-  he  had  lain  two  years,  with  our  old  friend 
Father  Martin.  At  the  end  of  it,  when  Carrier  came,  tbcy  had 
expected  the  fusillade,  but  were  spared  that :  then  they  heard  of 
the  Noyadc,  and  prepared. 

"  I,  being  a  good  swimmer,"  said  the  athletic  young  Jesuit, 
"  determined  to  try  for  life,  knowing  that,  if  1  could  dive  half  way 
across  the  river,  the  peasants  on  the  other  side  would  save  me. 
Father  Martin  gave  me  his  blessing,  and  this ;  and  when  it  came 
to  my  turn,  I  kept  so  long  under  water,  chat  you  see  that  1  have 
brought  it  to  you  at  last." 

**  What  was  he  doing  when  you  saw  him  last  ? "  s^d  Madame. 

**  Standing  and  chanting,  trying  to  encourage  the  others  to  chant. 
Yet  he  was  the  only  one  who  sang." 

"  What  did  he  chant  ?  "  asked  Madame.     «  Was  it  a  Psalm  ?  " 

*'  No,"  said  the  Jesuit  j  "  he  chanted  from  the  Revelations, 
pointing  it  himself." 


"  And  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of  Heaven,  sayings  '  Behold,  the' 
tabernacle  of  God  is  with  men,  and  he  will  dwell  with  them,  and 
ihcy  shall  be  his  people,  and  God  himself  shall  be  with  them,  and  be 
their  God.

shall  be  no  more  death,  neither  sorrow,  Jior  crying,  neither  shall  ihcrc

With  this  last  and  greatest  chant  of  Father  Martin's  I  must  bid 
you  adieu,  my  reader.  After  so  many  months'  acquaintance  I  am 
loih  to  part.  Let  me  hope  that  I  have  left  you  something  to  think

VESTIARIUM   CHRISTIANUM.' 

[HIS  work,  which  from  its  tiile  might  be  supposed  to  be  one 
called  forth  by  the  pending  controversies  in  the  Church  of 
England,  regarding  vestments  and  other  matters  of  ritual 
observance,  is,  in  fact,  a  most  learned  antiquarian  investi> 
gation  respecting  the  dress  which  is  "  to  be  regarded  as 
proper  to  offices  of  holy  minislrj-  in  Christ's  Church."  The  author  has 
examined  not  only  the  whole  range  of  ancient  and  patristic  writings, 
from  which  any  light  might  be  derived  for  the  ilhistratiun  of  his  sub- 
ject; but  he  has  also  had  recourse  to  the  far  more  sati»f;ictory  evidence 
afforded  by  the  painting  in  the  catacombs,  early  carved  ivories,  Christian 
glass,  mosaics  in  the  churches  of  Rome  and  Ravtnna,  illuminated  MSS. 
And  thus  he  has  been  able  to  furnish  controversialists  on  both  sides 
with  original  materials  on  which  to  found  their  arguments.  The  spirit 
and  the  scope  of  his  undertaking  cannot  be  better  expressed  than  by 
the  opening  passages  of  his  preface. 

"Historical  or  antiquarian  investigation,"  he  says,  "is  one  thing; 
theological  controveiBy  is  another,  there  is  time  and  there  is  place  for 
both ;  but  not  for  both  the  same  time  and  the  same  place  without 
disadvantage  to  the  former  of  the  twa  Under  this  conviction  I  have 
studiously  put  aside,  in  the  treatise  which  foIluH'S,  all  reference  to  the 
passing  controversies  of  these  days,  and  ha^'e  made  it  my  one  object 
to  collect  ever)'  lact  of  imporunce  bearing  on  the  subject  immediately 
before  me,  to  set  it  before  my  readers  in  such  a  way  as  shall  enable 
them  to  form  their  own  estimate  of  its  value,  and  at  the  same  time  to 
offer,  for  whatever  may  be  its  worth,  the  interpretation  wliich  I  myself 
believe  to  be  the  true  one.

The  general  conclusions  at  which  our  author  arrives  are  to  be  found 
in  the  following  extracts  from  his  Introduction. 

"Among  those  who  ha%'e  examined  the  question  upon  purely  hi*- 
torical  or  antiquarian  evidence,  the  more  general  opinion  is  such  as 
this — that  in  the  AiJOStoUc  age  there  was  no  essential  difference  between

the  dress  worn  \ry  Christians  in  ordinnry  life  and  that  worn  by  bishops, 
priests,  or  other  clerics,  when  cnga;<cd  in  ofticcs  of  holy  ministration : 
but  that  after  the  lapse  of  three  or  four  centuries  the  dress  of  ordinary 
life  became  changed,  while  that  worn  in  ecclesiastical  offices  remained  in 
form  unchanged,  though  ever  more  and  more  ricldy  decorated.  That  from 
these  causes  a  marked  distinction  was  gradually  brought  about  between 
the  dress  of  the  clergy  and  that  of  the  laity  (to  say  nothing  of  the 
monastic  orders,  who  were  distinguished  from  them  both) ;  that,  as 
time  went  on,  the  ordinary  dress  of  the  clergy  themselves  came  to  be 
distinguished  in  form,  in  colour,  and  in  name  from  that  in  winch  they 
ministered  ;  while,  at  length,  yet  a  further  distinction  was  introduced  as 
between  the  dress  of  the  more  ordinary  ministrations  and  the  more 
splendid  vestments  reserved  for  the  highest  offices  of  all,  and  for  occa- 
sions of  especial  solemnity. 

"  There  is  much  in  this  second  statement  which  is  undoubtedly  true ; 
but  the  evidence  to  be  alleged  in  the  following  treatise  will  show  that 
important  modifications  of  that  statement,  and  additions  to  it,  mubt  be 
made,  if  we  wish  to  convey  an  exact  idea  of  what  was  the  primitive  ami 
apostolic  type  of  ministering  dress,  and  what  the  successive  sla^  of  its

authority  and  tlie  customs  of  the  primitive  Chiu-ch.  II  appears  that  in 
the  earliest  ages  the  costume  of  the  Christian  minislT)'  was  identical  with 
that  ordinarily  used  by  tieigy  and  laity  alike  on  festive  occasions.  But, 
as  costume  is  of  all  sublunary  things  most  liable  to  change,  m  course  of 
time  the  costume  of  the  laity  developed  itself  into  new  forms,  whilst 
that  of  the  clergy  remained  the  sime.  Something  analogous  to  this,  and 
especially  \'aluable  ns  illustrating  the  feeling  which  dictated  tJiis  sacred 
conservatism,  may  be  seen  in  the  sculptures  and  paintings  even  of  the 
i6th  century-,  where  our  LonI,  the  Virgin  Mary,  the  Apostles,  and  other 
sacred  persons,  are  represented  in  what  is  designated  "  conventional 
costume,"  whilst  ihc  otVict  fv^mc^  ate  clothed  in  the  fashion  of  the  day.

LIFE   OF  PRINCE    HENRY   OF   PORTUGAL; 

ROCKY  cape  at  the  south-western  extremity  of  Europe, 
washed  by  the  waves  of  ocean,  and  forming  in  its  bar- 
renness a  striking  contrast  to  the  rest  of  "sunny  Por- 
tugal ;  "  a  king's  sun  giving  up  the  splendours  of  a  court 
to  live  in  this  desolate  spot,  in  order  the  better  to  pursue  bis  lifir's 
object — of  adding  new  countries  to  the  known  world,  new  converts 
to  the  Christian  faith  ;  such  arc  some  of  the  most  salient  features 
whose  picturcsqueness  attracts  us  at  the  outset  of  Mr.  Major's 
valuable  work. 

Geography  has  been  aptly  called  '■'•  one  of  the  eyes  of  history  \ 
and  therefore  it  cannot  but  rejoice  Sylvanus  Urdak  to  sec  tK 
fother  of  ^'continuous  modern  discover)' "  placed  before  men  in  his 
rightful  position,  and  to  read  the  story  of  a  noble  life  drawn  Irom  the 
witness  of  contemporaries  by  a  biographer  to  whom  the  undertaking 
has  evidently  been  a  labour  of  love.  And  Prince  Henry  has  an 
additional  title  to  our  interest  as  the  son  of  an  English  princess,  the 
daughter  of  John  of  Gaunt  by  his  first  marriage  with  Blanche  of 
Lancaster.  It  was  a  gallant  race  that  sprang  from  this  alliance— a  race 
in  whom  gentleness,  valour,  and  piety  were  found  side  by  side — a  rare 
realisation  of  the  true  spirit  of  chivalry.  King  JoAo  I.,  the  founder 
of  the  "  glorious  dynasty  '*  of  Aviz,  and  the  husband  of  Philippa  of 
Lancaster,  was  a  fitting  ancestor  for  so  noble  a  line.  Open-handed 
in  his  gifts,  generous  to  his  foes,  he  is  enshrined  in  the  recollection

of  his  countr)'mcn  as  the  "  father  of  his  country,"  and  the  "  king  of 
happy  memory."  His  eldest  son  and  successor,  Dom  Duartc»''  had 
qualities  that  should  have  secured  peace  and  happiness  to  his  country; 
his  love  of  truth  made  "  the  king's  word  "  become  proverbial ;  and 
his  great  facility  of  expression  gained  him  the  suruame  of  **  the 
Eloquent."  Yet  was  his  short  reign  of  five  years  like  that  of  Otto, 
the  "wonder  of  the  world,"  full  only  of '^bright  promise  unful- 
filled." He  died  in  1438,  leaving  his  brother  Dom  Fernando,  "  the 
Constant  Prince,"  a  prisoner  among  the  Moors  of  Fez,  in  a  harsh 
captivity  that  ended  not  till  ^'^his  soul  escaped  as  a  bird  out  of  the 
snare  of  the  fowler."  So  pacicnl  and  so  "  constant  "  was  Dom  Fer- 
nando, that  even  his  cruel  jailer  declared  that  "  had  he  been  a 
Maht)mctan  he  would  have  hccn  a  saint." 

Of  such  stuff  were  Prince  Henry's  nearest  relations  made.  Wc 
shall  see  how  well  he  carried  on  the  traditions  of  his  house.  As  a 
counsellor  Prince  Henry  was  sought  out  and  listened  to  with  respect 
on  all  sides }  and  the  influence  of  his  strong  good  sense  and  gentle 
firmness  made  many  a  spirit  bow  to  his  upright  decision.  When 
C^icen  Leonora  of  Portugal,  the  widow  of  his  brother  Dum  Duarte, 
was  acting  in  antagonism  to  the  Cortes,  and  refusing  to  present  to 
them  their  young  King,  Alfonso  V.,  after  "obstinately  resisting 
the  persuasions  of  all  others,"  she  yielded  to  those  of  Prince 
Henry,  *'so  great  was  the  respect  entertained  for  his  opinion."  To 
avert  the  horrors  of  a  civil  war,  which  seemed  ininiijient  during  the 
first  years  of  ^uecn  Leonora's  widowhood  and  of  Dom  Pedro's 
regency,  Prince  Henry  gave  up  for  a  time  his  quiet  retreat  on  the  pro- 
montory of  Sagres,  and  put  aside  his  cherished  schemes,  making  a 
break  in  the  history  of  his  expeditions  from  14.37  ^°  144O. 

As  yet,  (he  Atlantic  was,  in  very  truth,  the  "  sea  of  darkness  1 " 
but  the  first  step  towards  light  had  been  made  in  1434,  when  Gil 
Kannes,  one  of  the  Prince's  squires,  doubled  the  formidable  Cape 
Boyador,  and  became  the  initiator  of  that  brilliant  scries  of  discoveries 
which  shed  such  glory  over  the  15th  century.  The  spirit  that 
enabled  Gil  Eanncs  to  cunqucr  the  terrors  and  difficulties  of  Boyador 
was  also  the  spirit  that  carried  Bartholomew  Dias  round  the  Cape  of 
Storms,  that  led  Vasco  da  Gama  over  the  waste  of  waters  to  the  rich 
isles  of  the  East,  that  supported  Columbus  amid  the  murmurs  of  a 
crew  who  thought  he  had  lured  them;  out  to  certain  death,  and  that

steered  Magalhacns  right  through  an  unknown  strait  at  the  extrrmif 
of  a  new  world  safe  into  the  smooth  scas>  which  he  was  to  find  dotce 
with  the  coral  islands  of  Polynesia. 

The  first  point  of  geographical  discussion  upon  which  Mr.  Maji 
enters  is  the  long-vexed  question,  who  discovered  Madeira?  Th" 
answer  to  this,  till  now,  had  not  been  very  satisfactory,  or,  at  least, 
seemed  to  be  based  on  scanty  grounds.  The  earliest  account  hitherto 
known  was,  indeed,*' one  of  the  most  romantic  stories  that  have  ever 
been  dignified  with  the  name  of  history,"  and  its  reputation  was  none 
the  better^  perhaps^  for  having  been  told  "a  hundred  times  in  as 
many  different  shapes."  In  the  course  of  sifting  this  strange  tale 
documents  have  been  found  which  establish  the  fact  of  the  accidental 
discovery  by  the  Englishman,  Robert  Machin,  in  a  definitively  his- 
torical light.  The  evidence  on  which  Mr.  Major's  argument  is  based 
is  derived  from  a  Portuguese  MS.  in  the  Munich  Library,  earlier 
by  half  u  century  than  the  earliest  ^rmfz-f/ account  of  that  adventure, 
and  diflering  from  it  in  some  particulars,  but  agreeing  in  all  the  main 
points,  and  both  demonstratively  drawn  up  from  independent  sources. 
The  author  of  the  account  which  was  the  fountain-head  of  all  the 
ordinary  versions  was  himself  the  representative  by  marriage  of  the  Por- 
tuguese rediscovcrcr  iCarco,  and  had  in  his  possession  3  AIS.  written  by 
one  of  Zarco's  companions,  which,  although  now  lost,  is  satisfactorily 
proved  by  Mr.  Major  to  have  really  existed.  The  argument  is  more- 
over confirmed  by  the  consensus  of  Portuguese  writers  in  deriv 
(he  name  "  Machico,"  given  to  one  of  the  two  territorial  divist 
of  Madeira,  from  the  Englishman  Machin  ;  iot  the  other  distri 
"Funchal,"  named  at  the  same  time,  bears  a  purely  Portuguese 
appellation.  Further,  it  is  hardly  conceivable  that  a  natiun  should 
concede  to  another  the  honours  of  a  discovery  to  which  she  believed 
herself  exclusively  entitled.  We  may  still  regret  that  the  names  of 
the  runaway  couple,  whom  accident  turned  into  discoverers,  should 
have  come  down  to  us  only  in  a  foreign  dress  that  makes  it  dtfiic 
even  to  guess  at  their  earlier  history.  Machin  is  a  name  still  kno 
in  Gloucestershire,  but  we  cannot  identify  the  lineage  of  the  htg 
born  Anne  d'Arfcl  or  Dorset. 

As  the  total  result  of  Mr.  Major's  researches  the  chronology  of 
the  finding  of  Madeira  is  now  for  the  first  time  made  with  certainty 
to  comprise  three  distinct  dates;'    (l)  the  very  car^y  discoveiy

Genoese  captains  in  the  service  of  Portugal,  between  1317  and 
1351,  as  attested  by  the  remarkable  Portulaiw  Medicco  of  the  latter 
date;  (2)  MachJn's  independent  and  accidental  discovery,  assigned 
to  the  close  of  the  r4th  century  ;  which  led  to  (3)  the  final  and  prac- 
tical discovery  by  Zarco  and  Vaz,  in  14^0,  through  information 
received  from  Juan  dc  Morales^  a  Spaniard  who  had  met  some 
sailors  of  Machin's  vessel  in  captivity  among  the  Moors. 

Madeira  and  Porto  Santo  soon  became  flourishing  colonies,  and 
thus  served  to  turn  the  current  of  public  opinion  in  favour  of  those 
expeditions  of  Prince  Henry  upon  which  it  had  at  first  looked  but 
coldly.  There  is  much  that  is  curious  in  the  historj*  of  the  other 
groups  of  Atlantic  Islands.  The  Canaries,  the  half  mythical  "In- 
sula; Fortunate  "  and  "  Hesperides "  of  classical  writers,  the 
"  abode  of  happy  souls"  mentioned  by  Homer,  were  erected  into 
a  principality  for  the  exiled  Infant,  Don  Luis  dc  la  Ccrda,  created 
"  Prince  of  Fortune"  by  Pope  Clement  VI.  in  1334.  But  neither 
the  PontiUcal  treasury,  into  which  *^  400  florins  of  good  and  pure 
gold  of  Florentine  coinage  "  were  to  have  been  aJinually  paid,  nor 
the  property  of  Don  Luis,  nor  yet  the  knowledge  of  the  geography 
of  the  Canaries,  gained  any  accession  by  this  ephemeral,  or  rather 
purely  nominal,  kingdom.  The  Azores  arc  now  first  shown  to 
have  been  discovered  in  the  early  part  of  the  14th  ccnturj-,  then  lost 
to  sight,  and  rediscovered  by  one  of  Prince  Henry's  captains,  pro- 
bably in  1432.  The  colonies  that  were  established  both  in  the 
Azores  and  Canaries  exhibit  a  singularly  motley  aspect.  The 
presence  in  the  former  of  several  Flemings,  perhaps,  suggested  the 
idea  of  a  Flemish  discovery  ;  but  this  claim,  as  IVIr.  Major  shows, 
is  not  only  "  not  corroborated,  but  rather  disproved,  by  contemporary 
evidence."  Jacques  de  Bruges  is  indeed  "  Captain  Donatary  of  the 
Island  of  Jcsu  Chrisio,"  afterwards  called  Terccira,  in  1450,  by  grant 
from  Prince  Henry;  but  not  a  word  is  said,  on  the  occasion,of  such  a 
signal  service  as  the  discovery  of  ihc  islands  being  due  to  the  Flemings. 

The  disasters  that  befcl  the  Portuguese  amis  in  the  expedirion  to 
Tangier  in  1437,  and  the  civil  troubles,  already  mentioned,  caused  a 
*'  hiatus  "  of  three  or  four  years  in  the  progress  of  African  discovery. 
But  in  1441  the  thread  was  resumed  with  vigour,  and  three  years* 
exploration   of  the  country   of  the   Axancgucs  ■*  followed,   which

resulted  in  the  collection  of  many  samples  of  the  various  types  (rf 
inhabitants,  "  of  every  variety  of  colour,  from  nearly  white  to  the 
deepest  black,  who  very  soon  became  Christians,  and  were  treated 
with  great  kindness  by  their  Portuguese  masters.* 

The    mention    of    these    captives    naturally    raises    the    questwir 
whether,  as  some    have  assened.  Prince  Henry  thus   became 
founder  of  the  slave  trade.     Mr.  Major  has  clearly  proved  that  he 
not  so,  either  in  intention  or  in  ^ct.     Not  in  intenthity  for  he  on^ 
desired    to  gather   from    the   natives  information   concerning  their 
respective  countries,  and  to  bring  his  informants  to  the  knowledge 
of  that  faith  which  he  hoped  would  soon  overspread  their  land  ;  no( 
in  /acty  for  all  previous  history  benrs  witness  to  the  great  antiquic^J 
and  prevalence  of  the  scr%-itude  of  the  children  of  Ham.  ^H 

In  I+5S  occurs  the  discovery  of  the  River  Gambia  by  the  Venetian  ' 
Cadamosto,  who  also  claims  to  have  been  the  discoverer  of  the  Cap: 
Vcrdc  Islands  -,  but  Mr.  Major  has  been  enabled,  through  an  un- 
published MS.  in  the  Munich  Library,  to  fix  that  honour,  where  it 
is  rightly  due,  on  Diogo  Gomez,  one  of  Prince  Henr)'*s  closest  per- 
sonal attendants,  whose  touching  narrative  of  his  master's  last  days 
on  earth  we  shall  have  occasion  to  quote.  But  honest  Gomez, 
whose  account  is  very  simple  and  straightforward,  was  anticipated  in 
the  narrative  of  his  own  exploit  by  a  Genoese  captain,  who  had 
sailed  in  concert  with  him,  and  then  ungenerously  took  advantage 
of  an  accidental  circumstance  to  seize  the  honour  and  profits  that 
belonged  to  another. 

*' Antonio  dc  Noli,"  says  Gomez,' **  availing  himself  of  a  more 
favourable  wind,  reached  Portugal  before  mc  ;  and  he  begged  of  the 
king  the  captaincy  of  the  Island  of  Santiago,  which  I  had  discovered, 
and  the  king  gave  it  him,  and  he  kept  it  till  his  death." 

A  right  honest  seaman  and  loyal  subject  tbis^  for  he  makes  no 
parade  of  a  grievance,  and  nurses  no  rancour  ;  he  only  docs  his  duty 
to  his  sovereign,  and  lets  rewards  be  given  to  whomsoever  the  king 
chooses.  The  year  of  this  discovery  appears  to  have  been  i+6o,

was  a  year  melancholy  to  all  of  the  land  of  Portugal,  for  before  its 
close  Prince  Henry  was  taken  from  amongst  them. 

Of  his  last  illness  and  death  Diogo  Gomez>  who  was  present  at 
both,  gives  an  account  full  of  touching  simplicity,  from  which  we 
cannot  but  make  some  extracts. 

"  In  the  year  of  our  Lord  1460,"  Prince  Henry  fell  ill  in  his 
town  on  Cape  St.  Vincent,  and  of  that  sickness  he  died  on  Thuisday, 
the  13th  of  November  of  the  same  year.  And  the  same  night  on 
which  he  died  they  carried  him  to  the  Church  of  St.  Mary  in  Lagos, 
where  he  was  buried  with  all  honour.  At  that  time  King  AfTonso 
was  in  Evora,  and  he,  together  with  all  his  people,  mourned  greatly 
over  the  death  of  so  great  a  prince,  when  they  considered  all  the 
expeditions  which  he  had  set  on  foot,  and  all  the  results  which  he 
had  obtained  from  the  land  of  Guinea,  as  well  as  how  much  he  had 
laid  out  in  concinuous  warlike  armaments  at  sea  against  the  Saracens 
in  the  cause  of  the  Christian  laith." 

At  the  end  of  the  year  Gomez  was  deputed  to  examine  the  prince's 
remains  previous  to  their  being  removed  to  the  Church  of  Bataiha, 
which,  in  Dr.  Neale's  glowing  words,  "  for  its  exquisite  workman- 
ship, its  unrivalled  cloisters,  its  marvellous  founder's  chapel,  its  nave, 
aisles,  chaptcr-hnuse,  and  capclla  imperfcita,  is,  perhaps,  the  most 
striking  edifice  m  Christendom.'*  We  may  be  sure  that  the  heart  of 
Diogo  Gomez  was  rejoiced  at  this  translation.  He  found  his  master's 
body  almost  entirely  sound,  upon  which  he  exclaims,  "  Well  doth 
the  church  sing, '  Xhou  shalt  not  suffer  thy  holy  one  to  see  corrup- 
tion,'" arguing  that  this  was  the  effect  of  the  prince's  pure  and  saintly 
life.  Then  the  king's  brothers  and  the  bishops  and  nobles  received 
orders  to  convey  the  body  lu  Bataiha,  where  the  king  himself  would 
await  its  arrival. 

"  And  the  prince's  body  was  placed  in  a  targe  and  most  beautiful 
chapel  which  King  Jofto,  his  father,  had  built,  and  where  lie  the 
bwjies  of  the  king  and  his  queen,  Philippa,  the  prince's  mother, 
together  with  his  five  brothers,  the  memory  of  all  of  whom  is  worthy 
of  praise  for  evermore.  There  may  they  rest  in  holy  peace!  Amen."

gives  an  interesting  sketch  of  this  prince>  whose  followers  loved 
so  welt.  Reading  it  by  the  light  of  the  grave  and  thoughtful  picture 
which  forms  the  frontispiece  to  Mr.  Major's  book,  and  which  it 
taken  from  the  only  known  auihcniic  portrait  of  Prince  Hcni)-,  wt 
get  a  good  view  of  the  '*  Prtitcctor  of  the  studies  of  Portugal." 

'*  He  was  large  of  frame,"  says  our  authority,  "  and  brawny,  and 
stout  and  strong  of  limb.  His  naturally  fair  complexion  had,  hj 
Constant  toil  and  exposure,  become  dark.  The  expression  of  hit 
face  at  first  sight  inspired  fear  in  those  who  were  not  accustomed 
to  him,  and  when  he  was  angry,  which  rarely  happened,  his  took 
was  very  formidable.  Stout  of  heart  and  keen  of  intellect,  he  was 
extraordinarily  ambitious  of  achieving  great  deeds.  Neither  luxury 
nor  avarice  ever  found  a  home  with  him.  .  .  .  None  left  hit 
house  without  some  proof  of  the  prince's  generosity.  His  ulf-izi- 
(iplinr  ivat  umurpatitd ;  all  his  da)-*  were  spent  in  hard  work,  and  it 
would  not  readily  be  believed  how  often  he  passed  the  night  with- 
out sleep,  so  that  by  dint  of  unfiaggirtg  industry  he  ionquered  whit 

uetntd  to  be  impaisihiUtin  ta  ather  nun He  was  devoted  to  the 

public  interests  of  the  kingdom,  and  took  great  pleasure  in  tiyinv 
new  plans  for  the  general  welfatc  at  his  own  expense.  He  gloried 
in  feats  of  anns  against  the  enemies  of  the  fatth,  but  earnestly  sought 
peace  with  all  Christians.  He  was  miivenaHy  btJevid,/or  he  did gMd 
to  all  and  injured  ntne."  Few  arc  they  in  any  sphere  of  life  and  in 
any  age,  whose  character  could  be  thus  described. 

But  that  is  not  all  we  have  to  consider;  Prince  Henr)''s  ritle  to 
the  surname  of**  the  Navigator  *'  must  be  shown.  How  is  his  con- 
nection with  later  discoveries  proved  ?  Ferdinand  Columbus  shall 
first  answer  this  question.  *'  It  was  in  Portugal,"  says  he,'  •*  that 
the  admiral  began  to  surmise  that  if  the  Portuguese  sailed  so  lar 
ssutfi  one  might  also  sail  westward^  and  find  lands  in  that  dirtction." 
The  great  admiral  himself  married  the  daughter  of  the  Portuguese 
navigator,  Bartholomew  Percstrello,  on  whom  Prince  Henry  had 
conferred  the  governorship  of  Porto  Santo,  and  whose  maps  and 
papers  gave  him  much  information,  while  various  facts  with  which 
he  became  acquainted  during  his  residence  in  Porto  Santo  and 
Madeira  strengthened  his  belief  in  the  "opinion  of  certain  philo*

sophers  that  the  greater  part  of  our  globe  is  dry  land.^'  Ferdinand 
Columbus  distinctly  states  that  his  father  learned,  during  this  resi- 
dence, frum  many  pilots  experienced  in  the  western  voyages  to  the 
Azores  and  Madeira,  "  fticts  and  signs  which  convinced  him  that 
there  was  an  unknown  land  towards  the  west."  A  system  of  ex- 
peditions by  the  ablest  sailors  of  the  day  necessarily  gathered  toge- 
ther a  body  of  facts  which,  taken  singly,  might  not  have  amounted 
to  much,  but  when  compared  and  placed  side  by  side,  would  amply 
suffice  to  strengthen  the  convictions  of  a  scientific  navigator,  seeking 
a  dc6nite  goal.  Columbus,  it  is  clear,  was  direcie4l  to  his  own  line 
of  route  towards  "  Cipango  '*  and  "  the  Indies,"  by  the  inductions 
which  his  science  enabled  him  to  draw  from  the  experiences  of 
Prince  Henry's  sailors,  and  his  own  navigations  with  them  along  the 
African  coast.  Granting  this,  there  is  no  escape  from  the  logical 
sequence  which  Mr.  Major  sets  forth,  that  the  discovery  of  the 
New  World  was  the  "result  xveitward"  of  Prince  Henry's  explo- 
rations. Of  course  this  admission  involves  Magalhaens  and  Cabral, 
and  the  discovery  of  the  Pacific,  and  meets  the  voyages  of  Diaz  and 
Da  Gama,  the  *' results  eastward^'  among  the  Spice  Islands  of  the 
Indian  Ocean. 

Truly  the  people  that  wrought  out  such  great  results  in  so  short 
a  time  were  worthy  of  the  prince  whose  inspiration  led  them  on,  and 
deserve  all  respect  from  us  who  reap  the  fruit  of  their  persevering 
labour.  The  mere  example  is  worth  much,  as  a  spur  to  action 
under  the  disadvantages  of  scanty  means  and  imperfect  knowledge. 
The  astronomical  instruments  in  use  by  Prince  Henry's  sailors  were, 
so  far  as  their  condition  is  known  to  us,  rude  and  inaccurate ;  the 
vessels  in  which  they  braved  the  dangers,  real  as  well  as  imaginary, 
of  the  "  sea  of  darkness,"  would  to  our  eyes  seem  but  crazy  "  cock- 
boats." There  was  a  proverb  among  the  Portuguese  relative  to  the 
difficulties  that  surrounded  African  navigation,  which  would  have 
sounded  ominous  to  less  stout-hearted  men  than  those  who  sailed 
from  the  Villa  do  Infante  at  Sagres.  It  ran  thus :  "  Qucm  passar 
o  Cabo  de  Nflo,  ou  voltara  ou  nflo,"  /.<■., "  whoever  passes  Cape  Non 
will  return,  or  ml.'"  Chances  must  have  seemed  very  much  in 
favour  of  the  latter  solution.  But  the  greater  the  danger  the  deeper 
is  the  interest  in  the  narrative  of  such  exploits.  \Vc  must  Bnd 
room  for  otic  or  two  extracts  containing  graphic  bits  of  description 
relating  to  some  of  the  principal  discoveries. 

Bartholomew  Dias  sailed  on  his  great  voyage  in  14S6.     *'  It  was 


726 


The  GenlUma7is  Magazine,

fitting,"  says  Mr.  Major,'  "  that  a  Dias  should  be  the  first  to  ac- 
complish the  great  task  which  it  had  been  the  ruling  desire  of  the 
life  of  Prince  Henry  to  see  effected.  It  was  a  family  of  darii^ 
navigators.  Jojlo  Diss  h.id  been  one  of  the  first  who  doubled  Cape 
Boyador,  and  Lorenzo  Diss  was  the  first  to  reach  the  Bay 
Arguln." 

After  passing  the  southernmost  pillar  set  up  by  previous  navi- 
gators, and  making  a  hard  fight  against  the  weather  off  a  cape  which 
he  called  "  Angra  das  Voltas,*'  the  Cape  of  Tacks,  at  the  mouth  of 
the  Orange  River,  Dias  and  his  company  are  driven  south,  into 
latitudes  of  unexpected  cold.  When  they  succeed  in  working  up 
north  and  sighting  land  again,  thej*  set  foot  for  the  first  time,  though 
without  knowing  it,  on  land  beyond  the  Cape.  This  was  a  little 
island  in  Algoa  Bay,  where  Dias  set  up  a  pillar  wiih  a  cross,  "and 
the  name  of  Santa  Cruz,  which  he  gave  to  the  rock,  still  survives." 
Dias  was  anxious  to  press  on,  but  "  the  crews  began  to  compUin, 
for  they  were  worn  out  with  fatigue,  and  alarmed  at  the  heavy  scai 
through  which  they  were  passing.  With  one  voice  ihcy  protested 
i^nst  proceeding  further.  ...  By  way  of  compromise  he  pro- 
posed that  they  should  sail  on  in  the  same  direction  for  two  or  three 
days,  and  if  they  then  found  no  reason  for  proceeding  Ririhcr,  he 
promised  they  should  return.  The  stipulated  time  brings  them  to 
what  is  now  called  the  Great  Fish  River.  "  Here '  the  remoo- 
ytrances  and  complaints  of  the  crews  compelled  Dias  to  turn  back. 
When  he  reached  the  little  island  of  Santa  Cruz,  and  bade  farewell 
to  the  cross  which  he  had  there  erected,  it  was  with  grief  as  intense 
as  if  he  were  leaving  his  child  Jn  the  wilderness  with  no  hope  of 
ever  seeing  him  again.  The  recollection  of  all  the  dangers  that  he 
and  his  men  had  gone  through  in  that  long  voyage,  and  the  reflection 
that  they  were  to  terminate  thus  fruitlessly,  caused  him  the  keenest 
sorrow.  He  was,  in  fact,  unconscious  of  what  he  had  accompUs, 
But  his  eyes  were  soon  to  be  opened. 

"  As  he  sailed  onwards  to  ihe  west  of  Santa  Cruz  he  at  le 
came  in  sight  of  that  remarkable  cape  which  had  Iwen  hidden  from 
the  C)'es  of  man  for  so  many  centuries.  In  remembrance  of  the 
perils  they  had  encountered  in  passing  that  tempestuous  [>04ni,  he 
gave  to  it  the  name  of  Cabo  Tormentoso,  or  Stormy  Cape,  but  when 
he  reached  Portugal  and  nude  his  report  to  the  king,  Jofto  II.,  fore-

ftccuig  the  realisation  of  the  tong-coveted  pussage  to  Indti,  gave  it 
the  enduring  name  of  Cape  of  Good  Hope.  The  one  grand  dis- 
covery which  had  been  the  object  of  Prince  Henry's  unceasing  desire 
wa«  now  effected."  King  Jofto  showed  a  true  appreciation  of  the 
discovery  by  the  soul-stirring  name  he  gave  it ;  but  the  first  appel- 
lation was  the  only  one  that  Bartholomew  Dias  was  destined  to 
realise.  Sailing  with  Cabral's  great  expedition,  in  the  year  I500> 
during  which  the  *^  Land  of  the  True  Cross,"  now  called  Brazil, 
was  added  to  the  possessions  of  Fortugal,  Dias  was  caught  in  a 
vktlem  typhoon,  and  perished,  with  three  vessels  besides  his  own,  ofT 
that  stormy  cape  **  which  his  great  achievement  had  converted 
into  a  Cape  of  Good  Hope,  but  wliich  for  him  was  still  to  be  a 
cape  of  storms."  Yet  there  is  a  kind  of  fitness  and  wild  gran- 
deur about  such  an  end  which  seems  to  place  Dias  in  a  more 
fortunate  category  than  Magalhacns,  who,  after  his  noble  voyage 
through  the  dreary  unknown  region  where  he  found  the  strait  that 
has  rightly  borne  his  name,  met  with  his  end  in  a  needless  conflict 
with  the  natives  of  a  remote  island  in  the  Indian  Ocean. 

Magalhacns  had  in  the  course  of  his  illustrious  expedition  braved 
every  danger,  and  faced  every  difficulty  that  could  oppose  his  success. 
Like  Columbus,  he  had  to  encounter  disaffection,  even  open  mutiny, 
unwillingness,  and  desertion,  in  addition  to  the  dangers  of  naviga- 
tion in  stormy  and  unknown  latitudes.  He  crushed  the  sedition  and 
overcame  the  difficulties  ;  he  nobly  redeemed  to  the  very  letter  the 
declaration  he  made  to  his  men  when  making  his  final  and  successful 
attempt  at  procecdir^  through  the  strait,  that  **  even  if  they  were 
to  be  reduced  to  eating  the  leather  on  the  ship's  yards,  he  would 
fiilfil  his  promise  to  the  Emperor."  And  the  nun  "  whom  neither 
danger  could  deter,  nor  death  intimidate,"  is  said  to  have  shed  tears 
of  gratitude  as  he  beheld  the  realisation  of  his  hopes,  on  emerging 
from  the  strait  into  an  open  sea,  on  the  27th  of  November,  1520. 
Before  reaching  the  land  of  cocoa-nuts  and  yams,  the  discoverers 
were  reduced  in  very  deed  to  such  distress  that  they  "  even  ate  saw- 
dust, and  the  leather  on  the  rigging."  It  seems  almost  out  of 
harmony  with  silent  crKlurance  of  so  high  a  type  that  the  leader  of 
the  expedition  should  have  fallen  in  the  carrying  out  of  what  we 
cannot  call  anything  else  than  a  piece  of  bravado  -,  though  he  did 
indeed  die  with  his  face  to  the  ifx^  covering  the  retreat  of  his  men. 
"  Thus  fell  this  great  navigator,™  second  only  to  Columbus  in  the

history  of  nautical  exploration,  midway  in  the  execution  of  i  fat 
such  as  the  world  had  never  witnessed ;  the  very  hardihood  which 
already  had  rendered  that  achievement  possible  had  now,  by  degene- 
rating into  presumption,  deprived  htm  of  the  'glory  of  its  fulfil- 
ment.'* 

But  while  thus  giving  our  readers  some  samples  of  Mr.  Major's 
vivid  realisation  of  his  heroes  and  their  times,  we  must  tu>t  omil  to 
notice  various  points  of  great  importance  in  the  history  of  maritime 
discovery,  on  which  the  labour  of  years  devoted  to  sifting  the 
mingled  wheat  and  chafF  of  contemporary  documents,  as  well  as  of 
modern  worlcs,  entitles  the  author  of  the  "Life  of  Prince  Hcoiy" 
to  a  very  respectful  hearing. 

These  relate  in  great  measure  to  claims  *■  that  have  been  set  up 
for  priority  of  exploration  or  settlement  by  the  French,  and  in  a| 
minor  degree  by  the  Genoese,  Catalans,  and  Flemings.  VVc  have! 
already  seen  that  there  were  early  Flemish  settlers  in  the  Azores;  aj 
fact  for  which  the  connection  between  the  royal  house  of  Portugal^ 
:tnd  the  ducal  house  of  Burgundy,  through  the  Duchess  Isabel,  j 
sister  of  Prince  Henry,  the  Navigator,  readily  accounts.  But  of  their' 
having  been  in  any  way  instrumental  in  the  discovery  of  the  islands,! 
there  is  not  the  shadow  of  a  proof.  With  regard  to  the  priority  in  j 
the  discovery  of  the  west  coast  of  Africa,  the  claims  on  behalf  of  i 
the  Genoese  and  Catalans  entirely  fall  through  from  the  absolute, 
disappearance  of  the  explorers  !  The  French  claims  arc  both  more  i 
pretentious  and  more  numerous,  and  more  constantly  reiterated ;  buCi 
a  careful  perusal  of  the  documents  and  assertions  by  which  they  are 
supported,  side  by  side  with  Mr.  Major's  crilical  analysis  of  the 
respective  value  of  each,  will  satisfy  all  readers  that  the  hotuiurs  ol 
the  iicid  must  he  left  to  their  old  possessors,  the  Portuguese, 
ancient  allies. 

Dieppe  has,  no  doubt,  produced  many  good  sailors,  and  much 
beautiful  ivory  carving  -,  but  neither  of  those  facts  helps  towards 
smoothing  the  difficulties  which  surround  the  credibility  of  all  the 
details  that  have  been  put  forward  to  prove  the  existence  of  a 
"  Petit  Dieppe,"  a  "  Petit  Rouen,"  and  even  a  "  Petit  Paris,"  dose 
SO  the  Equator,  a  century  before  the  PoUuguesc  began  to  buUd  fotti 
on  the  Guinea  coast.     It  is  true  that  Dieppe  has  been  bombarded;

in  past  generations,  by  finding  ourselves  deprived  of  all  the  ordinary

attached  to  the  19th  century  transcript  of  a  17th  century  copy  of  a 
14th  century  document,  on  which  M.  Margry*  rests  the  claims  of 
his  fellow-countrymen  to  precedency  over  the  Portuguese  in  African 
discovery.  On  the  contrary,  the  whole  tenor  of  the  case  forcibly 
calls  to  mind  the  late  Pascal  and  Newton  controversy,  in  which  it  is 
not  too  much  to  say  that  ux  may  read  a  warning  against  trusting 
implicitly  10  the  most  plausible  "  discovciies,"  where  the  glory  of  the 
**  (irande  Nation  "  is  perpetually  dragged  In,  and  no  other  country  is 
suffered  tn  remain  in  possL-ssiun  of  a  single  original  idea.  How  iix 
this  is  from  being  the  truth  in  maritime  discovery,  ft  has  been  Mr. 
Major's  duty  to  set  forth.  The  facts  arc  before  the  world  i  those 
who  would  fain  sec  justice  done,  where  of  right  it  belongs,  cannot

Dias,  Magalhacns,  Gama,  and  other  workers  who  carried  out  to  their 
legitimate  conclusion  the  noble  conceptions  of  Prince  Henry  of 
Portugal.  For  the  sum  of  the  whole  argument  cannot  be  better  put 
than  in  the  words  of  Mr.  Major's  closing  tribute  to  Don  Enrique, 
with  which  we  also  will  take  leave  ot  that  true  knight,  who  was 
through  life  so  loyal  to  his  religion,  his  country,  and  his  grcnt  pur- 
pose, and  whose  very  motto,  "  Talent  de  bien  faire,"  seems  to  have 
sunk  into  the  hearts  of  his  countr)-mcn,  and  animated  them  to  carry

they  ordinarily  produce  nn  other  men,  it  is  impossible  to  say  whit 
delays  would  have  occurred  before  these  mighty  events  would  haw

CURIOSITIES    OF    MINUTE    HANDICRAFT. 

[HERE  dwells  not  far  from  Lambeth  Palace  at  the  prescm 
time  an  Ingenious  mechanic,  Smith  by  name,  who  has 
devoted  a  targe  portion  of  a  valuable  life  to  the  produc- 
tion of  machines  and  models  of  almost  microscopic 
dimensions.  Tiny  watches  are  plentiful  enough.  Arnold,  the 
famous  chronometer  maker,  made  one  so  small  ihat  George  UL 
had  it  SL-c  like  a  jewel  in  a  ring ;  and  skilful  followers  of  the  same 
trade  have  made  scores  as  small  as  Arnold's.  But  these,  one  and  all, 
arc  Brobdlgnagian  works  when  compared  with  some  of  the  manu- 
factures of  the  above-mentioned  worthy,  who  has  gone  so  low  down 
in  the  scale  of  diminutivcncss,  that  he  has  actually  made  a  model  oi* 
the  great  engines  of  the  J/^arrhr  steamship  so  small  that  it  stant 
upon  a  threepenny  piece.  We  lately  had  the  pleasure  of  paying  a 
visit  to  his  attlur;  and  wc  have  thought  it  woith  while  to  put  on 
record  a  few  notes  of  what  we  saw,  not  merely  on  account  of  the

but  peculiarly  interesting  and  valuable  achievements  of  his  skill. 
Beginning  with  the  larger  of  his  productions,  the  first  object  to  which 
he  directs  our  attention  is  a  steam-pumping  engine  for  working  2.  tabic 
fountain.  This  piece  of  apparatus  is  entirely  covered  by  a  glass  case, 
standing  upon  a  base  which  inea^surcs  twelve  inches  by  sJx.  There 
is  a  bright-shining  boiler  with  a  furnace  beneath,  composed  of  a 
double  range  of  minute  spirit-lamps.  The  steacn,  which  is  quickly 
generated,  passes  through  a  little  steani-pipc  into  the  cylinder  of  the 
engine,  which  is  \  of  an  inch  in  diameter^  and  furnished  with  a  piston 
whose  length  of  stroke  is  an  inch  and  a  quarter.  The  piston  gives 
motion  to  a  proper  crank  shale,  which,  acting  through  a  pair  of  speed- 
diminishing  wheels,  works  three  little  pumps  beneath,  at  such  a  rate 
that  three  strokes  of  the  engine  correspond  to  one  stroke  of  each 
pump.  These  pumps  have  cylinders  \  of  an  inch  in  diameter;  they 
are  of  the  construction  known  as  "  trunk  pumps,"  to  describe  which 
would  lead  us  too  far  into  engineering  technicalities.  They  both 
draw  the  water  from  a  distant  reservoir  and  throw  tc  Into  the 
fountain  pipe:  each  takes  up  the  stream  at  the  moment  when  the 
others  are  at  the  ineJfective  point  of  their  stroke,  and  thus  the  inter- 
nuttent  action  is  got  rid  of,  and  a  continuous  Auw  of  water  Is 
delivered  tu  the  fountain.  But  the  bailer,  small  as  it  is,  requires 
supplying  with  watery  for  this  purpose  a  seU-acting  ^^  feed  pump"  is 
provided^  the  bore  of  the  barrel  of  this  is  3-i6ths  of  an  inch 
in  diameter;  the  valve  of  it  is  i-i6th,  and  it  delivers  water  into 
the  boiler  through  a  tube  no  thicker  than  a  piece  of  line  string. 
All  the  adjuncts  that  pertain  to  a  great  pumping  engine  arc  to  be 
found  in  this  diminutive  model  %  there  is  even  the  gauge  glass  on  the 
front  of  the  boiler,  as  slender  as  a  good-sized  needle,  and  fitted  with 
taps  at  each  end,  into  the  nozzles  of  which  a  pin  could  hardly  be 
inserted.  There  is  nothing  shiiked  or  scamped  \  screws,  bolts,  nuts, 
;md  all  minutia;  arc  there  \  and  all  is  fuiished  so  mcchaincally  that  the 
most  critical  engineer  could  find  no  fault  with  the  workmanship. 
The  whole  thing  works  to  perfection,  without  rattling  noise,  without 
nixvf  escape  of  steam  from  the  engine  or  water  from  the  pumps. 
The  precision  of  an  engine  determines  the  effective  work  it  wIU 
perform ;  the  character  of  this  one  may  thus  be  inferred  when  we 
EUte  that  it  will  throw  a  small  jet  of  water  in  a  distant  part  of  the 
room  to  a  height  of  twelve  feet. 

Next  we  are  introduced  to  a  pair  (marine  engines,  as  they  have 
double  cylinders,  arc  always  spoken  of  in  pairs,)  of  what  are  tecb-

nicallj  tcrmcil  "diagonal  mink  engines i"  these  stand  upon  a  base 
plate  which  measures  5  inches  by  3.     The  steam  cylindcre  here  are 
a  Utile  larger  than  the  last,  being  in  fact  i^  inch  in  diameter^  but| 
there  are  some  parts  that  dwindle  down  lu  almost  microscopical  pro-[ 
portions.     They   arc   intended   for  driving,   by   means  of  a  screw 
propeller,  a  model  boat  6  feet  long,  and  they  will  do  this  at  a  speed  ! 
of  three  or  four  knots  an  hour.     So  perfect  is  the  mechanism  of' 
them  that  they  can  be  set  in  motion  by  merely  blowing  into  the 
8team>pipe ;  they  are  supplied  with  reversing  gear,  upon  the  link- I 
motion   principle,  and   with    the   counterparts  of  well  nigh  all  the  > 
belongings  of  the  engines  oi  a  great  ship.     It  is  the  pride  of  every  i| 
engineer  to  produce  what  he  ciiW^  tvell-proportiontd  machines;  that" 
is,  machines  in  which  every  individual  portion  or  member  is  made  ; 
exactly  com.mensurate  in  strength  to  the  work  it  hai  to  perfbrm. 
Nature  does  this  as  nature  only  can,  and  in  the  mechanical  archi- 
tecture of  a  man  or  of  an  animal  wcsee  the  perfection  of  the  principle. 
The  skilled  machinist  tries  to  emulate  nature  as  far  as  possible,  and 
when  he  succeeds  he  produces  a  machine  which  is  not  meirlf  a 
thing  of  strength  and    power,  but  a  thing  of  beauty  to   look  on. 
This  balancing  of  parts  may  be  practical  enough  in  the  case  of  a 
large  machine ;  but  it  is  a  very  difficult  thing  to  secure  upon  a  smaO, 
not  to  say  upon  a  Lilliputian  scale.     In  consequence,  the  nujon'ty 
of  working  models  of  small  dimensions  are  clumsy  affairs,  whose 
parts  arc  made  more  according  to  the  convenience  of  the  workmen 
than  with  reference  to  the  work  they  have  to  do  and  the  strength 
that  is  expected  In  them.     But,  to  the  credit  of  our  micro-mechanic 
be  it  said,  that  he  scorns  this  rule  of  thumb  style  of  business.     He 
takes  a  working  drawing,  with  each  part  of  the  machine  laid  down 
to  scale  upon  It,  and  works  exactly  by  this  as  far  as  it  is  in  human 
power  to  do,  never  putting  in  a  thick  rod  on  a  large  screw  because 
it  is  too  much  trouble  to  make  either  sufficiently  small  to  accord  with 
the  proper  proportion  ;  if  any  part,  however  minute,  can  be  made  ai 
all,  he  makes  it.    To  give  an  ideaof  hisminutenet^!;,  he  assures  us  that 
he  once  drilled  through  a  sovereign  a  hole  so  small  that  a  human 
hair  would  not  pass  through  it  I     Some  of  his  screws  arc  not  more 
than  the  eightieth  part  of  an  inch  thick,  and  these  are  furnished  with 
bexagon-headed  heads  and   nuts  perfectly  shaped.     The  symmetry 
and   completeness   thus   secured    makes   his   works    look   like  real 
machines  viewed  through  a  diminishing  glass,  rather  than  like 
nary  models.

New  engmcering  schemes  and  devices  crop  up  nowadays  as 
thickly  as  blackberries  ;  some  arc  good  and  practical;  many,  as  may 
be  expected,  arc  futile.  Amongst  the  former  class  may  be  included 
a  novel  direct-acting  engine,  called,  after  its  inventor,  "Cameron's  " 
engine,  and  In  which  certain  arrangements  oi  valves  are  made  auto- 
matically to  supply  steam  above  and  below  the  piston  in  the  cylijidcr, 
in  lieu  of  the  ordinary  plan  of  a  slide-valve  worked  by  an  cxcentrlc. 
We  are  shown  a  model  of  this  construction  which  has  just  been 
completed  ;  it  is  of  the  exact  size  of  a  drawing  which  lately  appeared 
in  an  engineering  journal :  five  like  it  would  just  stand  upon  a  page 
of  this  magay.ine.  There  is  the  engine  and  all  its  functional  parts, 
and  a  pump  with  all  it!>  valves  and  gear ;  air  vessel,  lubricators,  taps 
— whose  bore  js  only  i-32nd  of  an  inch— and  everything  complete. 
Nothing  could  surpass  the  case  and  truth  with  which  this  little  ma- 
chine moves  and  works  :  it  will  raise  and  deliver  seven  and  a-halt 
gallons  of  water  an  hour.  The  model  was  made  for  the  inventor  ol 
the  engine  \  it  can  be  carried  in  the  pocket,  and  pulled  to  pieces  »o 
as  to  show,  better  than  any  drawing  can,  its  internal  construction  and 
manner  of  working.  Practical  men  are  somewhat  inattentive  to 
schemes  that  come  before  them  only  on  paper;  they  prefer  seeing 
something  a  little  more  tangible — the  machine  itself,  or^  at  least,  a 
working  model  of  it.  Mr.  Smith's  powers  enable  an  inventor  to 
exhibit  to  his  patrons  the  real  working  machine  on  a  small  scale  \  he 
is,  in  consequence,  largely  employed  in  making  models  for  this  purpose. 
At  the  time  of  our  visit,  a  number  of  diminutive  garden  pumps, 
small  enough  lo  be  carried  in  the  waistcoat-pocket,  arc  scattered  over 
the  work-benches,  in  various  stages  of  completioji.  These,  wc  team, 
are  for  the  use  of  agents  and  commercial  travellers  trading  with  such 
articles.  Here  wc  have  an  answer  to  the  question,  Cm  hons  ?  as 
applied  to  these  minute  structures. 

But  the  above-described  curiosities  arc  huge  works  compared  with 
those  next  set  before  us.  There  will  be  few  who  have  not  some 
reroembrancc  of  the  famous  Great  Britain  steamship,  built  by  the 
elder  Brunei.  This  magnificent  vessel  w.is  320  feet  long  and  50  feet 
broad,  with  a  burthen  of  3400  tons,  and  engines  of  nominally 
1000  horse  power,  but  effectively  only  600.'  Well,  we  are  intro- 
duced to  a  model  of  her  made  to  a  scale  of  i-40th  of  an  inch  to  the

foot ;  so  that  the  length  of  the  model  is  about  eight  inches, 
brcadch  about  an  inch  and  a  quarter.    It  is  full-rigged,  with  six  nus 
and  their  accompanying  spars,  and  all  the  hatchways  and  dcck-fitcii 
to  boot.     But  this  is  not  all.      Peering  closely  into  the  apcnure— t 
so  large  as  a  postage  stamp^which  answers  to  the  engine-room 
hatchway,  wc  sec  what  looks  like  a  little  heap  of  pieces  of  wire  inj 
scraps  of  metal,  or  the  small  parts  of  a  watch  thrown  into  a  pill-box. 
The  deck  of  the  tiny  vessel  is  lifted  off,  and  a  magnilicr  is  handed  to 
us :  this  resolves  the  little  heap  of  metal  scraps  into  an  accurate 
model   of  the  original   engines  with  which  the    Great   Britain  was 
lilted  !     So  small  is  this  model,  that  it  stands  upon  less  space  than 
the  area  of  a  shilling.     It  has  four  steam  cylinders,  each  3-i6ths  of 
an  inch    in    diameter,   and  mounted  diagonally  :    the  length  of  the 
piston-stroke  is  5-32nds  of  aii  inch,  and  the  thickness  of  the  piston- 
rods  i-^oth  of  an  inch  ;  the  diameters  of  the  crank  shaft  and  of  the 
screw  shaft  each  about  i-20th  of  an  inch  ;  and  the  necessary'  gear  is 
provided  for  reversing  the  engines.     By  the  side  of  this  working  part 
stands  the  boiler,  ready  for  use,  but  not  usable  because  a  fire  cannot 
be  found  sm.-ill  enough  to  burn  beneath  it.     Out  of  the  stern  of  the 
vessel  protrudes  a  four-bladcd  icrcw  propeller,  not  nearly  so  large  as 
a  threepenny-piece.     The  Idea  of  such   a   model  actually  workir^ 
seems  preposterous,  and  wc  hesitate  about  asking  whether  it  docs  or 
not.     We  arc  not  long  left  in  duuhl ;  while  wc  have  been  making 
our  almost  microscopic  examination  of  the  little  wonder,  an  annular 
trough  of  water  has  been  produced,  and  in  the  centre  of  this  has  been 
placed  a  cylinder  charged   with    compressed  air,  an  clastic   vapour 
analogous  to  steam.     A  slender  tube,  mounted  upon  a  swivel  joint, 
passes  from  this  cylinder  to  the  side  of  the  ship,  which  has  been  rc- 
d.ckcd  and  launched  into  the  watery  circuit.     A  tap  is  turned,  and 
the  compressed  air  tushes  through  the  tube  ;  in  an  instant  the  engine 
haichway  looks  like  a  hive  of  industrious  insects;  the  little  thing 
beneath  starts  into  life,  the  screw  spins  mund,  and  off  goes  the  tiny 
ship  to  circumnavigate  its  little  sea.     Having  made  the  circuit,  it  is 
stopped  for  an  instant ;  a  touch  is  given  to  the  reversing  gear  of  the 
engine,  the  screw  starts  round  in  an  opposite  direction,  and  the  ship 
goes  astern  I  There  is  no  illusion,  no  trickery  in  this  exhibition :  the 
diminutive  engines  as  really  and  truly  work  and  drive  the  boat  as  do 
those  of  any  steamer  on  the  seas. 

The  total  weight  of  the  above  boat,  with  the  deck  and  riggll^g,. 
engines,  boiler,  and  all  entire,  is  less  than  a  troy  ounce  !     Theactiai

bijiilcr,  is  just  that  of  a  sovereign.  How  man/  times  its  weight  In 
gold  the  little  marvel  is  worth,  wc  should  not  like  to  say. 

Wc  must  pass  by  a  practicable  model  of  a  pumping  engine,  which 
is  enshrined  in  a  small  pitl-box,  to  allow  ourselves  spucc  for  giving  a 
few  details  concerning  the  microscopic  edition  of  the  li'arrior'i 
engines,  alluded  to  at  the  commencement  of  this  paper.  This,  the 
tiniest  working  model  in  the  world,  is  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  John 
Pcnn,  the  eminent  m,akcr  of  the  great  engines  of  which  it  is  the 
infinitdy  reduced  counterpart.  We  have  said  that  it  will  stand 
on  a  thrcrpcnny-pii-'cc  :  it  really  covers  less  space,  fur  its  basc-platc 
measures  only  3-8ths  of  an  inch  by  about  3-ioths.  The  engines  arc 
of  the  trunk  form  introduced  by  Peiin  \  the  cylinders  measure  i-8th 
of  an  inch  diameter,  and  the  trunks  l-20th.  The  length  of  stroke 
is  3-4Ctlis  of  an  inch.  They  arc  fitted  with  reversing  gear,  .niid  ai'e 
generally  similar  in  design  to  the  great  machines  with  which  ships  of 
the  {f^arrior  class  are  equipped,  from  the  extreme  smallness  of  this 
model,  a  few  minutia: — such,  for  instance,  as  the  air  pumps — have 
necessarily  been  omitted  :  there  is  a  limit  beyond  which  human  skill 
and  minuteness  cannot  pass.  Still,  so  small  arc  some  of  the  parts 
that  they  require  a  magnifying  glass  to  see  their  form  :  the  screws 
which  hold  the  members  together  arc  only  1  -Both  of  an  inch  in 
diameter,  and  these  ate  all  duly  furnished  with  hexagonal  nuts,  which 
can  be  loosened  and  tightened  by  a  lilliputian  spanner.  The  whole 
weight  of  the  model  is  less  than  ih.it  of  a  thrccpcnny-picce :  it 
works  admirably,  and  we  are  informed  that  when  working  its  crank 
shaft  performs  from  twenty  to  thirty  thousand  revolutions  in  a  minute. 
It  was  made  at  a  time  when  Mr.  Smith,  who  suffers  from  a  trying 
disease,  was  unable  to  move  from  a  sitting  posture  1  and  the  time 
spent  upon  It  is  reckoned  at  about  three  months  of  ordinary  labour. 
Once,  after  its  completion,  it  narrowly  escaped  perdition  :  it  had 
been  taken  to  pieces  for  some  alteration,  and  the  parts  were  placed  u\ 
the  lid  of  a  pill-box  on  the  work-bench  before  a  window.  The  day 
being  warm  the  window  was  opened  :  a  puft'  of  wind  came  and 
overthrew  the  receptacle,  scattering  the  component  parts  of  the 
engine  to  right  and  left  on  the  floor.  It  was  a  hopeless  task  to  look 
for  them  in  the  dust  and  dehr'ti  of  such  a  searching  ground.  For- 
tunately the  pans  were  principally  of  iron  and  steel :  so  a  magnet 
was  used  for  a  broom.  Piece  by  piece  was  picked  up,  ajid  the 
threatened  loss  of  the  work  of  many  pa'nful  hours  w..a  avencd.

The  Gentlmiaiis  Ma^asine, 


For  such  works  as  the  abovcj  what  must  the  tools  be  ?  Wc  must 
leave  the  reader  to  imagine  this ;  only  remarking  that  as  they  arc 
infinitely  smaller  than  any  supplied  by  ordinary  tool-makers,  the 
mechanic  is  obliged  to  construct  them  himself.  We  ore  shown  some 
drills  iikI  Btcs  of  his  manufacture  :  our  wonder  is  how  any  but  a 
faiiy's  or  an  infant's  hand  can  wield  them.  The  digits  of  our  micro- 
mechanic  are  flat  and  large,  as  those  of  a  workman  usually  arc. 
have  heard  a  dancer  described  as  a  being  with  brains  in  his  toes;* 
Mr.  Smith,  albeit  he  has  plenty  of  brains  in  his  head,  must  harc»  1^

GEMS   AND    PRECIOUS  STONES/ 

(>1 -LECTORS  of  gcsxvs  must  necessarily  be  few. 
numerous,  gems  are  costly  ;  and  every  effort  made 
diffuse  information  respecting  them  inevitably  enhances 
their  value.  In  fonncr  times,  indeed,  no  .itlempt,  propertjr 
speaking,  was  made  to  diffuse  information  rc^nliog  them. 
The  works  wliith  were  published  upon  the  subject  were  almost  as 
costly  as  the  gems  tlicnisclvcs.  Of  laic  years,  however,  amongst  the 
efforts  which  have  been  made  so  generously  on  the  part  of  [Ki&sessors 
of  collections  of  works  of  art  of  inestimable  \'alue  to  communicate  to 
all  classes  the  knowledge  and  taste  for  art,  the  exhibition  of  collectioos 
of  gems  has  lieen  most  noticeable.  All  visitors  to  the  ].oan  Exhibition 
at  South  K.ensington,  in  1S62,  will  remember  the  precious  display  made 
by  her  Majcstyj  the  Duke  of  Marlborough,  the  Duke  of  Devonshire,  and 
others  ;  and  there  are  not  a  few  rJioicc  examples  to  be  seen  at  South 
Kensington  at  the  present  moment.  By  the  public  exhibttioo  of  the 
gems  of  the  Blacas  collection,  recently  acquired  by  the  British  Museum, 
anotlicr  most  important  step  in  this  direction  has  been  made. 

Of  all  llie  labourers  in  Ibis  field  of  late  years,  none  can  compare  to 
knowledge  and  assiduity  with  the  aulhur  of  the  works  before  us.  'nirce 
important  works  upon  this  subject  liavc  already  been  published  by  him,  , 
not  to  speak  of  numerous  articles  in  joumob,  i^c  The  fim  on  our  liflri

which,  as  he  says,  "met  with  a  most  flalterlng  reception  from  the  pporld 
of  amateurs."  But  it  is  so  largely  rewritten,  and  contains  so  much  addi- 
tional informalion,  the  result  of  extended  study  in  this  most  iraiiAU  ftdd, 
and  is  especially  composed  for  [topular  use,  that  it  deserves  to  be

treated  as  an  original  work.  The  other  two  are,  in  fact,  a  new  edition 
of  another  of  llioac  three  treati-sts,  in  which  gfms  are  considered  jirinci- 
pally  in  their  mincralogical  characters.  The  List  volume,  on  the  Gnostics 
and  their  remains,  partly  reappears  in  the  "  Engraveil  Gems,"  whilst 
profoundcr  inquirers  arc  refcrTcd  (o  the  original  book. 

Mr.  King  fias  done  vrcll  in  presenting  us  with  this  "  popular"  account 
of  "  Engraved  Gems  ;"  for  though  collectors,  as  wc  have  said,  must  be 
few,  the  subject  is  one  which  cannot  fail  to  receive  wide  atlcnlion. 
Some  will  be  drawn  to  it  by  the  materials  themselves  ;  a  more  numerous 
class  will  study  it  as  an  almost  neglected  branch  in  the  histor)-  of  art ; 
and  others  cannot  fail  to  be  attracted  by  the  singular  relation  which 
these  remarkable  productions  bear  to  the  "history  of  civilisation," 

Wc  shall  do  most  justice  to  our  author,  ami  to  our  readers  at  the  same 
time,  by  culling  from  his  pages  a  short  series  of  passages,  each  one  com- 
plete in  itself,  but  together  presenting  a  summary  of  the  history  of  the 
gl}'ptic  art.  We  commence  with  a  passage  relating  to  tlie  materials 
employed  :  — 

"  As  regard  the  maiiria/s  appropriated  to  itself  by  the  glyptic  art 
amongst  the  Assyrians,  it  is  apparent,  from  the  numerous  specimens  of 
iheir  jewelry  still  preserved,  that  neittier  this  nation  nor  the  Egyptians 
were  as  yet  ac(]uaintetl  with  the  true  '  precious  stones,'  the  exclusive

for  beauty,  w;is  assigned  to  the  la|iis-Uizu!i  and  the  roniraon  amethyst ;

beds  of  the  torrents  issuing  therefrom.  But  of  the  Syrian  merchant  the 
jcwcl-casket  was  far  more  richty  funiisbcd,  and  that  too  al  a  period 
anterior  to  Nebuchadnei/ar's  invasion  of  his  country.  Tlie  prophet 
EiCkiel  calls  up  before  our  minds  how  the  merchants  of  Saba  {Soutl* 
Arabia)  and  of  Raema  brought  to  the  marts  of  the  '  renowned  city  that 
was  strong  in  the  sea,  all  manner  of  spites,  of  frccious  stonn^  and  of 
gold.'  These  caravans  from  South  Arabia  had  doubtless  brought  with 
them  the  choicest  exports  of  their  Indian  neighbours  ;  and  that  these 
included  every  species  of  the  true  precious  stones,  we  are  assured  on 
the  testimony  of  the  evidently  well  informed  Dionysius  I'ericgetcs, 
writing  some  four  ccnttiries  after  the  times  of  the  prophet.  All  of  them, 
even  including  the  diamond,  are  named  by  him  as  gleaned  by  the 
Ariani  of  Paropamisus  from  the  beds  of  their  mountain  sitearas.  .... 
Before  quitting  Uie  subject  of  material,  it  may  be  appropriately  added 
here,  that  in  the  age  of  Alexander  the  Greeks  already  possessed^ — as  the 
descriptive  list  compiled  Iiy  Thcophrastus  puts  licyond  question — all 
tlie  Ijue  precious  stones,  except  the  tUamond,  including  the  real  Indian 
ruby.  Even  without  his  uulhority,  the  inspection  of  the  Etruscan  and 
Greek  jewelry  brought  to  light  of  late  years  would  tell  us  as  much  ;  for 
these  relics  exhibit  unmistakeablc.  though  minute,  spedmcns  of  (he 
native  ruby,  sapphire,  and  emerald  "  (pp.  9,  10). 

The  following  relates  to  the  employment  of  hieroglyphics  on  gems, 
and  the  imitation  of  Ihem  by  the  Phcenicians  : — 

"  The  Kgyptians  did  not  generally  adopt  the  improved  but  nwre 
laborious  process  by  this  time  established  in  the  ateliers  of  Nineveh  or 
Babylon,  but  continued  the  practice  of  carving  or  chiselling  out  their 
rude  hieroglyphics  upon  the  softer  materials,  until  the  limes  of  the

I  limestone  anJ  slcadiisls,  of  various  colours,  and  in  the  manner  alica^ 
described.  The  circunosunce  Uut  even  in  the  age  of  Thcophniittis

practitioners  of  the  art. 

"  This  new  mclhod  of  rendering  available  for  signets  even  the  '  hini 
stones,'  although  neglected  by  the  Iflgyptians,  was  speedily  taken  up  by 
the  ingenious  I'hosnicians,  the  allies  or  tributaries  aT  the  Assyrian  and 
the  Persian  kings.  In  attestation  of  this,  many  seals  arc  fouad, 
t:gyptian,  indeed,  in  fonn,  being  regular  starabei,  but  purely  Phccnician 
in  style  and  subjects,  lliough  of  a  ver^'  early  tlatc,  and  bearing  also  in- 
scriptions in  the  Semitic  clmractcr,  of  which  that  people  were  the  first 
inveutors.  There  arc  even  iorae  cylinders  known  that,  from  similar 
reasons,  must  be  assigned  to  the  Pha-iiieiaii  school.  Their  traders  maj^ 
have  diffused  the  knowledge  of  thiis,  as  well  as  of  other  decorative 
among  the  Euroi»ean  and  insular  Greeks.  Honoer  alludes  to  the  Tjn

"TI1C  Asiatic  Greeks,  however,  who  seetn  to  ha\*e  flourished  as  inde- 
pendent communities  previous  to  the  rclgn  of  Croesus  (noted  by  Hero- 
dotus as  the  lii^t  subjugator  of  the  lonians),  learnt  this  art,  simultaneously 
with  the  Phcenicians,  from  their  Assyrian  neighbours,  to  whom  they  were 
indebted,  as  pointed  out  above,  for  all  the  other  arts  of  design.  Like 
the  vase-paintings,  the  first  intagli  produced  amongst  the  inhabitants  of 
the  seaboard  of  Asi.^  Minor  bear  the  uiiniistakcable  impreu  of  a 
-Nincvitish  or  IJabylonian  origin  in  their  stilfly-drawii,  carefully-executed 
figures  of  animah,  lions  or  bulls,  for  the  most  part,  supplying  the  de\'ice 
for  the  signet  of  the  ncwly-planled  Mo\\An  or  Ionian  colonist  And 
sucli  a  restriction  was  to  be  looked  for  in  this  class,  for  il  *iU  be 
observed  that  the  designs  upon  the  scarabei  of  the  Phucniciaiu  also 
deviate  but  little  firom  the  strict  rules  of  die  .\ssyrian  code  of  art ;  a 
point  wliith  of  late  years  has  been  remarkably  illustrated  by  Uw 
numerous  engnivcdgcms  brought  to  light  in  the  centctcrics  of  their  most 
ancient  European  cylony,  Tharros  in  Sardinia.  But  the  Phcenidaas 
were  an  iitiitativc,  not  an  invcniive,  race  ;  thus  they  fabricated  jeweDciy

whereas,  the  colonics  she  had  sent  forth  were  on  all  sides  adi-ancing 
through  commerce  or  agricullure,  to  a  d^ree  of  opulence  now  hardly 
credible.  What  city  of  Greece  Proper,  Athens  excepted,  coulcl  vie  in 
population  with  Syracuse,  Vclia,  Syharis^  or  Taientum?  And  what

mo^t  remote  of  all,  Cyrene,  ,^lian  particularly  notices  the  wonderfa! 
multitude  and  skill  of  the  gcm-cngravcrs,  and  to  express  the  ostentation 
of  the  inhabit.ants  in  this  arlirlc  nf  luxury,  adds  tl>at  the  very  poorest  of 
them  possessed  rings  worth  ten  min,!;  (30/.)  Cj*ru»,  again,  is  named  hy 
Pliny  as  the  locality  from  whence  the  fame  of  an  engraved  ema-alii  had 
reached  the  ears  of  the  conceited  purse-proud  musician,  Ismenias,  at 
Athens. 

"Many  of  the  finest  gems  that  grace  oiir  cabinets,  manifest  by  the 
identity  of  their  styles,  that  they  proceed  from  the  same  hands  thai  cut 
the  dies  for  the  beautiful  coinages  of  the  cities  jusl  mentioned.  The 
graceful '  Etruscan  border'  incloses  the  type  upon  several  mintages  of 
Magna  Grecia,  as  it  does  the  designs  upon  the  contemporaneous  signets 
of  the  coinlcss  Tyrrhenes  of  Upper  Italy,  .\fter  this  period,  the  esta- 
blishment of  Greek  kingdoms  in  .\sia,  and  the  enjoyment  of  boundless 
wealth  in  the  long-accumulated  hoards  of  the  Persian  kings,  conduced 
greatly  lo  the  encouragement  of  this  art,  pre-eminently  the  handmaid  of 
txistcful  opulence.  In  the  generation  following  Alexander,  the  advance 
of  luxury  displaying  itself  amongst  the  rest  in  the  decoration  of  the 
fingers  with  rings,  brought  the  glyptic  everywhere  to  the  highest  per- 
fection attainable  by  it  in  its  relation  to  the  other  branches  of  art. 
History,  however,  has  preserved  no  name  of  the  celebrities  of  thi^ 
period  besides  that  of  Pyrgoteles,  engraver  of  the  Macedoniaji  con- 
queror's signet"  (pp.  41,  42). 

The  following  paragraph  needs  no  introduction. 

"  Proceeding  now  to  the  epoch  of  the  full  development  of  the  glyptic 
art  under  .Alexander  and  his  immediate  successors  :  this  period  presents 
us  for  the  first  time  with  contemporary  portraits  of  princes,  whose  heads 
begin  to  replace  the  national  deities  upon  the  stone  of  the  signet,  as 
they  were  doing  at  the  same  date  upon  the  obverse  of  the  coin. 

'*  From  several  allusions  of  classic  writers it  appears  that  the 

official  seal  of  every  person  of  importance  was,  as  a  rule,  the  likeness  of 
himself.  This  fact,  to  give  an  ex-imple,  seems  impUed  in  Cicero's  warning 
to  his  brother  Quintus,  concerning  the  cautious  use  of  his  official  sea! 
during  his  government  of  the  pro\*ince  assigned  hini.  '  Look  upon  your 
signet,  not  as  a  mere  instrument,  but  as  your  own  self;  not  as  the  agent 
of  another  person's  will,  but  as  the  attestation  of  your  own.' 

"With  this  period,  also,  a  new  branch  of  ihc  art — cameo- engraving — 
is  first  inaugurated.  The  term  signifies  work  in  relief  upon  stones  of 
two  or  more  differently-coloured  layers,  aflbrding  a  back-ground  and  a 
contrast  The  word  which  first  appears  in  the  13th  century  as  cama- 
Autum,  is  usually  derived  from  the  Arabic  chtmeui,  'a  charm,'  from  the 
light  in  which  such  relics  were  universally  considered  in  those  ages  by 
both  Orientals  and  Kutojieans.  There  may,  however,  be  more  truth  in 
Von  Hammer's  conjecture,  who  makes  it  the  same  with  (aniatif,  'the 
camel's  hump,' applied  metaphorically  to  anything  prominent,  and  there-

the  gems  Uiac  have  come  down  to  us  migitt  be  ahno^t  r^arded  uils 
typical  monuments. 

"  With  ihe  empire  opens  the  grand  era  of  portraits  upon  gems,  the 
countless  offspring  of  adulation,  love,  affection,  and  friendship.  The 
purel^r  Greek  period  had  produced  nothing  but  iJ/ai  heads,  with  the 
exception  of  those  tare  cases  where  his  own  image  was  required  for 
the  personal  seal  of  the  sovereign  or  his  representative.  But  with  the 
Romans  the  love  for  perpetuating  the  memory  of  their  ancestors  bjr 
means  of  collections  oif  family  portraits,  had  from  the  earliest  times 
shown  itseh"a  ruling  passion  ;  their  atria  were  lined  miih  heads  of  their 
prcdeccssopt,  modelled  in  wax  after  life,  for  many  generations  biick, 
ensconced  each  one  in  its  own  little  shrine  [armarium) — monumenu  in 
^-irtue  of  their  composition,  that  set  decay  at  de6ancc.  In  Ihe  later 
republican  times,  after  gem-engraving  had  come  into  fashion,  these  wax 
casts  furnished  authentic  originals  for  the  family  portraits,  embellishiog 
signets  of  the  kind,  to  be  more  paiticularly  describctl  in  their  due  [dace. 
But  as  soon  as  the  despotic  power  of  the  Caesars  was  established,  it 
became  a  mark  of  loyally  to  adorn  cither  one's  house  or  one's  hand 
with  the  visible  presence  of  the  sovereign.  Capitolinus  notices  that  the 
indi%-iilual  was  looked  upon  as  an  impious  wTctch,  who,  liaving  tbc 
means,  did  not  set  up  at  home  a  statue  of  M.  Aurctius  ;  and,  a  centui)' 
later,  the  senate  obliged  by  an  edict  every  householder  to  keep  a  picture 
of  the  restorer  of  tlie  empire,  Aurelinn.  'rhat  officials  wore  such  portraits 
in  their  rings  as  an  indispensable  maik  of  distinction  may  be  deduced 
from  the  regulation  of  Claudius  (preserv'ed  by  PUny),  confining  the  attrit 
at  court  to  such  as  had  receiN'ed  from  him  a  gold  ring  liaving  the  imperial 
bust  carve<)  upon  it.  There  nas,  however,  another  and  a  deeper  mothre 
for  the  wide  prevalence  of  tJie  fcishion.     Certain  passages  from  writeis 

of  the  time give  cvi<lence  of  the  general  existence  of  a  belief  that 

the  genius  of  the  emi>eror  (accounted  of  higher  power  than  Fortune 
herself)  u-as  pro|>ttialed  to  extend  his  jtatronagc  over  the  individual 
who,  by  assuming  this  badge  of  subservience,  put  himself  uoder  his  pro- 
tection "  (p]}.  7'.  73)- 

**  Names,  indeed,  arc  often  to  be  disco\*ered  accompanying  portraits 
upon  gems ;  but  it  so  happens  that  they  are  invariably  the  names  of 
nobodies,  for  they  are  only  found  annexed  to  the  heads  of  the  bride 
and  bridegroom  engiavc<l  upon  the  stone  that  decorated  the  wedding- 
ring  (under  the  Lower  Enipirc),  anil  replaced  the  more  ancient  clasped 
hands  or  juUs,  which  likewise,  as  a  rule,  commcmorateil  the  names  of 
the  pair.

Gems  and  Precious  Stones. 


w 


The  substance  of  what  lus  been  <1isci)vcrcd  regariJing  the  Gnostic 
gems  is  condensed  into  the  following  paragraphs: — 

"  Gnosticism  was  the  pretension  to  the  tnic  knowledge  of  divine  things, 
as  enveloped  in  the  outward  forms  of  Paganism  as  well  as  of  Christianity. 
The  Ophites,  or  scqicnt-worshippent,  the  most  ancient  of  the  school, 
and  who  exclusively  arrogated  to  themselves  the  title  of  Gnostics,  were 
accustomed,  says  Hippolytus,  assiduously  to  attend  Ac  celebration  of 
all  the  heathen  mysteries,  and  to  pretend  that  in  their  transcendental 
knowledge  they  possessed  the  key  to  all  the  deep  truths  symbolically 
expressed  in  the  riles.  For  the  same  reason  they  boldly  maintained 
that  they  were  the  only  real  Christians.  To  express  in  a  visible  form 
their  own  doctrines,  they  availed  themselves  of  the  emblems  and  icono- 
log>-  of  two  religions  principally.  The  first  of  these  was  the  Egyptian, 
then  (the  and  century)  very  fashionable  at  Rome ;  besides  which, 
Alexandria,  wxs  the  founlaiii-head  of  Gnosticism,  and  its  greatest  lights, 

Basilidcs  'and  Valentinus,  were  inlubitants  of  that  city ?rom 

the  Egyptian  worship  tlie  Gnostics  borrowed  many  types  to  engrave 
upon  the  gems,  which  were  to  serve  them  both  for  talismans  for  the 
good  of  their  souls  and  bo<lies,  and  for  means  of  mutual  recognition 
between  the  UluminatL  In  sjiccial  veneration  with  them  were  the 
figure  of  the  jackal-headed  Anubis,  the  guide  of  souls  to  the  other  world  ; 
the  solar  serpent  with  a  lion's  head  radiated,  originally  an  amulet  for  the 
protection  of  the  chest,  but  now  interpreted  in  a  more  spiritual  sense  ; 
the  infant  Horus  (another  personification  of  the  sun)  seated  upon  the 
lotus,  the  emblem  of  fecundity ;  the  cyrwc^plmlus  baboon,  the  peculiar 
attribute  of  the  moon,  ;ind  therefore  generally  represented  as  adoring 
the  triangle,  the  received  B3Tnl)ol  of  that  luminary  ;  and  above  all,  that 
peculiar  creation  of  the  K;iMlidan  sect,  the  Abraxas-god  lao,  a  f>aniheui 
made  up  out  of  the  sj-mbgls  of  the  four  elements — the  serpent,  eagle, 
the  human  trunk,  and  the  scourge,  or  perhaps  combining  in  himself  so 
numy  attributes  of  the  solar  divinity  alone.  His  title,  Abraxas — '  the 
blessed  name ' — had  the  grand  virtue  of  containing  in  the  sum  of  its 
letters,  taken  according  to  Greek  numeration,  the  solar  period  of  365. 
All  these  types  the  Gnostics  interpreted  as  shadowing  forth  the  Christ-^ 
'  the  Sun  of  Righteousness'  (pp.  97,  98). 

We  can  find  space  but  for  one  mure  extracL 

"The  I  Slh  [century],  emphatically  the  age  of  the  HiMhvtii,  brought  with 
its  very  opening  a  sudtlen  and  most  utie.\pected  renval  in  both  branches  oi 
our  subject.  This  recovery  is  more  especially  noticeable  in  that  of  the 
intaglio-engraving,  which  now,  from  certain  causes,  received  as  much  at- 
tention from  practitioners  as  that  of  cameo-cutting  had  met  with  from  the 
most  eminent  of  the  reviral.  But  there  is  one  great  distinction  to  l>e  re- 
marked between  the  style  of  the  school  now  under  our  consideration, 
and  thai  so  markedly  characterising  all  the  productions  in  the  same  de- 
partment of  the  cin< pie-cento.  The  latter  (as  Visconti  has  well  pointed 
out)  was  no  servile  co|iyist  of  the  antitiue,  but  borrowing  thence  its 
subjects,  treated  them  in  its  peculiar  style,  and  that  with  a  spirit  and  a 
vivacity  which  brought  forth  really  original  works.  But  the  artists 
of  the  last  century,  totally  disclaiming  all  attempts  at  originality,  con- 
tented themselves,  a.1  a  rule,  with  making  repealed  copies  of  the  most 
noted  antique  gems,  and  placed  the  highest  aim  of  their  ambition  in  the

successful,  impoang  upon  credulous  amateurs  n-iih  their  own  prodnc- 

tions  as  genuine  and  recently  discovered  works  of  antiqutly. This 

century  may  justly  be  denominated  the  'age  of  forgery," — fraud  gf 
every  kind  and  degree  now  flourishing  with  wondrous  laxuriaoce. 
Besides  the  making  of  the  most  exact  lac  similes  of  famous  antinoes,  a 
thing  which  at  the  least  required  and  developed  great  technical  sbll, 
other  devices  infinitely  more  dishonourable  were  brought  into  plajr. 
The  fabrication  of  doublets  (where  a  glass-jiaste,  moulded  upon  an 
antique  work,  then  backed  %vith  a  slice  of  sard  carefully  attached  by  a 
transparent  cement,  and  lastly,  set  so  as  to  conceal  the  union,  so  ihat 
the  conibinntion  has  all  the  appearance  of  a  true  stone,  whilst  the  wortt 
upon  it  in  point  of  treatment  and  execution  satisfies  the  minutest  scru- 
tiny) was  now  borrowed  from  the  falsifiers  of  precious  stones,  and  carried 
to  such  perferiion  as  frequently  to  deceive  the  most  practised  eye ;  the 
retouching  of  antique  works  of  the  ruder  class,  the  stircst  and  the  naost 
hardly  detected  of  ~\\  modes  of  deception  ;  and  finally,  the  interpob- 
tion  of  imaginary  artists'  names  upon  genuine  antiques,  a  trick  eogen- 
dcTcd  by  the  universal,  though  utterly  baseless  l>elicf,  that  every  ancient 
engraver  regularly  signed  his  best  performances,  and  by  tlie  reluctance 
springing  from  tliis  belief,  of  wealthy  but  igncffant  i/i/Otanti  to  purchase 
even  the  finebl  monuments  of  his  skill,  unless  recommended  by  sudi 
an  endorsement.  Tlie  temptation,  therefore,  to  the  intcrpolater  vas

four  times  Uie  price  at  which  it  previously  had  be«n  offered  ia  vsin." 
(pp.  176-178). 

In  the  remainder  of  the  work  ilie  sections  devoted  to  "  artists*  signa- 
tures," and  the  "  catalogue  of  ancient  artists,"  arc  es]>ccially  dcseriing  of 
the  attention  of  collectors  and  students.    The  illustrations  of  both  wood- 
cuts and  engravings  arc   as  carefully  and  accurately  executed  Mjm 
should  expect  them  to  be  under  the  direction  of  sudi  a  scholar  as  HH 
King.  ^^ 

In  conclusion,  wc  may  say  that  Mr.  King  regards  the  famous  so- 
called  portrait  of  Christ  car\'cd  upon  an  emerald,  as  it  is  alleged,  by 
command  of  Pontius  PiLitc  for  the  Emperor  Tiberius,  as,  in  (act,  no  more 
than  a  copy  of  the  head  of  our  Lord  in  Raphael's  cartoon  of  the 
**  Miraculous  Draught  of  Fishes,"  just  as  he,  in  like  manner,  considers  a 
gem  engraved  in  the  "  Museum  Florentinum''  to  be  taken  from  Michad 
Angelo's  drawing  at  Florence,  a  copy  of  which,  in  the  Royal  CoUectioo 
at  Windsor,  has  been  engraved  and  published  as  "  The  Evil."  Mr.  King

Wc  have  given  priority  to  Mr.  King's  work  on  "  Engraved  Gems," 
and  have  conceded  to  it  the  largest  portion  of  our  space,  not  only 
because  of  its  priority  of  publication,  but  also  for  the  more  ^-alid  reason 
— that  Mr.  K  ing  professedly  regards  his  entire  subject  from  an  artistic  and 
aichaological  point  of  view  ;  and  therefore,  although  the  other  porrion  of 
his  work  is  the  most  extensive,  it  is  of  a  somewhat  narrower  interesi  Col- 
lectors, mineralogists,  and  they  who  deal  in  these  precious  comraoditiwi 
will  necessarily  be  far  more  interested  in  these  two  volumes  than  the

will  fine!  abundant  and  valuable  materials,  such  as  will  give  accuracy  and 
rest  to  their  particular  inquiries  here. 

Mr.  King  has  the  singular  good  fortune  of  being  able  to  say  that  both 
his  earlier  books  were  received  with  auch  marked  ajiprotration,  anfl  so 
ready  a  sale,  that  it  was  requisite  for  him  to  bring  out  improxxd  and  ex- 
tended editions.  But  it  is  ver)-  noticeable  that,  whilst  the  "  Engraved 
Gems  "  is,  so  to  speaJc,  a  more  popular  version  of  its  predecessor,  this 
is  a  more  learned  and  scientific  one.  He  has  done  well  to  divide 
his  materials  into  the  two  natural  categories  of  "  Precious  Stones 
and  Precious  Metals,"  and  ''Ccms  and  Decorative  Stones;"  for  the 
interest  attached  to  the  two  classes,  though  ilic  same  in  kind,  widely 
differs  in  extent  The  distinetton  between  the  two  our  author  distinctly 
points  out. 

"I  am  under  no  apprehension  of  incurring  the  chaise  of 'book- 
raalting ; '  every  true  scholar,  every  mineralogist,  will  perceive  by  casting 
a  glauce  into  the  numerous  fields  I  h;\ve  in  the  ueatment  of  my  subject 
but  slightly  opened  out,  that  the  whole  of  ray  space  might  have  been 
profitably  devoted  to  the  consideratioa  of  a  single  one  of  its  articles  ;  for 
example,  the  '  Argcntuiu,'  or  the  '  Adanus.'  It  has  also  appeared  tu  mc 
a.  more  natural  arrangement  of  my  matter,  to  class  together  with  the 
precious  metals  those  gems,  including  the  pearl,  that  more  specially 
a.rrogate  to  tiiemsclves  the  same  title  of  honour,  and  with  the  monu- 
ments of  antiquity  which  combine  them  all,  to  let  them  occupy  an  entire 
volume.  The  other  mineral  produclious  whose  highest  value  lies  in 
their  subservience  lo  the  inspirations  of  art,  but  whose  estimation  as 
jewels  is  entirely  dependent  upon  the  cnpricc  of  fashion,  are  now  sepa- 
rated and  passed  in  review  imder  the  generic  appellation  of  *  Gems.' 
This  distinction,  it  is  true,  is  not  perfectly  descriptive  of  their  character, 
but  comes  the  nearest  to  it  of  any  the  poverty  of  our  language  can 
supply.  The  French,  of  all  others  the  neatest  and  the  most  exact  for 
the  definite  expression  of  every  idea,  possesses  in  this  case,  also,  the 
required  distinction  of  '  pierres  prtfcieuses' and  '  pierres  fines;'  but  in 
English,  'fine  stones,' — ^though  some  mineralogists  have  attempted  to 
naturalise  it  in  tliis  most  desiderated  sense,^ — would  convey  a  totally 
dilTercnl  idea  to  the  majority  of  readers.  And  this  division  suggests  to 
me  the  prctitory  renurk — true  to  the  letter,  novel  as  it  will  sound  to 
raany,  that  the  student  of  antique  glyptics  brings  lo  the  discussion  of  the 
latter  portion  of  our  subject  an  immense  superiority  over  the  actual 
trading  jeweller  of  the  present  age  in  the  extent  and  multifariousness  of 
liis  experience.  The  latter,  tied  down  by  the  actua!  close  restrictions  of 
the  trade,  has  only  (o  deal  with  the  four  or  five  species  monopolising  at 
present  tlie  title  of 'precious,' and  lo  make  himself  acquaintetl  with  their 
cliaractcri sties  alone :  the  dactyhologist,  on  the  other  h-ind,  has  per- 
petually to  examine,  and  to  discriminate  between,  the  varied  jjroductions 
of  ancient  India — productions  held  of  old  in  almost  equal  estimation 
ivith  the  first  class,  as,  in  truth,  they  well  deserved  from  the  recom- 
mendation of  their  beauty,  and  their  facile  subservience  to  the  most 
elegant  of  arts.  He  has,  constantly,  occasion  to  admire  that  Proteus  of 
the  gem  family — the  Indian  garnet — in  all  its  clungeful  shapes  of 
almandinc,  cinnamon-stone,  guarnaccino,  and  p)Tope ;  the  traivsparent 
calccdony  in  its  emerald,  purple^  sanguine,  and  sapphirine  disguises;

appear  from  a  circumstance  licreafter  to  be  noticed,  that  the  marble  was 
the  iirst  of  the  two  to  be  known  under  that  name  to  the  Romans,  it  is 
properly  the  first  to  be  here  considered.  It  was  the  carbonate  of  lime, 
now  called  oriental  alabaster,  and  received  its  original  appellation  from 
the  fancied  reserabbince  of  its  clearly  defined  white  and  yellow  veins  to 
the  shades  in  the  human  fingernails  i&w^.  The  Greeks,  as  was  their 
wont,  discovered  this  familiar  word  in  the  Semitic  oneg,  *a  delight,'  or 
'the  jewel'  above  all  others;  seeing  the  paramount  value  that  race 
have  ever  attached  to  the  gem,  of  which  more  shall  be  said  anon. 
(7H-V,  iti  the  sense  of 'jewel,'  is  exactly  aiulogous  to  our  derivation  of 
the  latter  word  ixom.  joyan  zxiA  gioUUo'"  (p.  213). 

And  writing  of  the  SardJus,  he  says  : 

"The  C3mcli.an  is  found  abundantly  in  many  parts  of  Europe  wher- 
ever the  shingle  on  the  coast  is  composed  of  flint  pebbles,  or  in  the 
beds  of  mountain  torrents  of  similar  formation,  and  scattered  logclher 
with  agates  over  the  Egyptian  desert  it  is  of  the  same  nature  m  the 
latter  stone,  only  differing  in  the  arrangement  of  its  colours,  and  seems 
to  Iw  what  Pliny  distinguishes  from  the  rest  of  the  species  by  the  name 
of  sard-achatcs>  just  as  his  icuc-achatcs  is  the  calcedony  or  white 
camelian. 

"  ]u  tills  dull,  red,  e;irthy  and  softer  species  are  tlic  most  ancient  in- 
tagli  usually  cut,  the  Egyptian  and  Ktruscan  scarabci,  and  the  greater 
part  of  tiic  other  ring-stones  engraved  in  Etruria.  The  beds  of  the 
Tuscan  rivers  furnished  a  plentiful  supply  of  this  material .;  even  at  the 
present  day  the  shingle  of  the  brook  Mugnonc,  near  Florence,  yields 
camelians  In  great  abundance.  Bui  the  beautiful  transparent  species, 
the  true  sard,  came  from  India  alone.  ,  .  .  '  No  other  stone,'  observes 
Pliny  (xxx\-ii.  31),  'was  so  great  a  favourite  with  the  Greeks  as  this ;  at 
least  the  plays  of  Menander  and  of  Philemon  revel  in  allusions  to  it' 
On  this  stone  nearly  all  the  performances  of  the  most  celebrated  antique 
artists  arc  to  be  found,  for  as  a  general  rule  fine  work  was  never  thrown 
away  upon  an  inferior  or  too  obdurate  material ;  and  there  was  good 
cause  for  this  preference,  such  are  its  toughness,  facility  in  working, 
beauty  of  colour,  and  the  high  polish  of  which  it  is  susceptible;  which 
last,  Pliny  remarks,  it  retains  longer  than  any  otlier  gem.  The  truth  of 
this  assertion  lias  been  confirmed  by  tlie  eighteen  centuries  that  have 
elapsed  since  he  wrote,  for  antique  sards  are  found  always  retaining 
tlieir  original  polish,  unh:s5  where  vcrj*  roughly  used ;  whilst  harder 
gems — garnets,  jacinths,  and  niroti — have  their  surfaces  greatly  scratched 
and  roughened  by  wear,  So  there  is  this  that  (he  existence  of  a  per- 
fect polish  upon  any  one  of  the  latter  class  affords  in  itself  a  tolerably 
sure  proof  that  the  engraving  is  either  modem  or  has  been  retouched 
in  modem  times"  <p.  »8o). 

The  fotlowit^  passage  is  very  amusing  : 

"The  onyx,  strange  to  say,  considering  its  high  repute  in  ancient 
times,  bote  a  most  unfavourable  character  in  the  Middle  Ages,  Mai^ 
bodus  asserting  that  its  wearer  was  exposed  to  the  assaults  of  demons 
and  of  ugly  visions  by  night,  besides  being  pestcml  witli  (Quarrels  and 
law-suits  fcy  day.  The  sole  remedy  was  to  wear  a  sard  at  the  same 
time,  which  would  completely  neutralise  the  mischievous  influence  of

public  in  a  manner  worlliyoflhemr  Tlius,  lhe"HiBtoireG(Jne'nilc,"  about 
which  wc  are  now  discounit^;,  consists  of  a  series  of  monographs,  each 
of  which  will  be  complete  in  it:>cLf,  iiiid  will  thoroughly  exhaust  tlie 
subject  treateO.  Wc  shall  now  endeavour  to  give  an  idea  of  the  first 
volume,  containing  part  of  M.  Adulphc  Jicny's  Topographu  huioriqtu 
du  I'ieux  Paris. 

Beginning  at  the  remotest  period,  the  author  has  taken  for  his  extreme 
limit  the  year  i6ro.  With  the  reign  of  Louis  XIII.  archawlogy  may 
be  considered  as  ended,  so  far  as  the  history  of  Paris  is  concerned,  and 
occasional  excursions  aloue  will  be  attempted  amongst  the  records  of 
Later  days.  Within  (his  well-defined  circle  our  savant  moves  steadily, 
taking  care  not  to  allow  himself  to  be  led  astray  by  idle  tlieorlcs,  fjuoting 
chapter  and  verse  for  every  assertion  he  make.'i,  transcribing  documcnu, 
'■  mulliplying,"  as  he  says,  *'  dubiutivc  formula; ; "  alxjvc  all,  admitting  no 
anecdotes,  no  gossip.  1'herc  is  so  much  to  bi:  told,  so  much  to  be  sifted, 
that  no  room  can  be  spared  for  the  table-talk  of  Lutetian  history,  for 
iMtctiaiuiy  if  wc  may  coin  such  an  expression.  'I'liis  gives,  perhaps,  to 
the  volume  a  cerUin  appearance  of  drj*ncss  ;  but,  for  our  i>arl,  wc  prefer 
in  a  subject  of  tlie  kind  even  seeming  aridily  to  doubtful  tales  and  silly 
jokes. 

The  topography  of  Paris  marks  natiu-ally  four  great  diviKions  in  M. 
Bcrly's  work.  There  is  the  city,  tlie  small  island  on  the  river  Seine, 
whidi  constituted  the  original  iotus  of  the  Parisii.  The  university  would 
properly  come  next,  that  is  to  say,  aU  the  south  bank.  There  the  great 
scholastic  doctors  held  their  disputations  ;  llie  abbeys  of  St.  Victor  and 
of  St.  Gennain  dcs  I'rt's,  with  their  dependencies,  covered  the  ground  ; 
a  long  succession  of  colleges  recruited  from  almost  every  country  in 
Europe  (heir  population  of  students ;  and  the  noisy  pastimes  of  the 
Prt^aux-Clercs  were  almost  as  celebrated  as  the  lectures  of  the  Place 
Maubert  or  the  Rue  du  Fouarre.  North  of  the  Seine  wc  find  the 
town  {la  viiU)  properly  so  called,  the  resort  of  fashion,  thickly  studded 
with  palaces,  h^s,  and  other  gay  mansions.  Finally,  come  the 
suburbs,  gradu;dly  extending  themselves,  pushing  out  house  after  house, 
and  forming  as  the  outposts  of  the  metrcuwlis.  M.  Berty  has  begun  his 
(rork,  not  by  the  city,  but  by  the  tow^ ;  and  his  reason  for  doing  so  is 
that  excavations  of  every  kind  have  couijjletely  brought  to  light  the  topo- 
graphy of  that  part  of  Paris,  whilst  the  other  districts  are  still  compara- 
tively unexplored.  He  starts,  therefore,  with  the  region  of  the  Louvre 
and  of  the  Tuilcries,  and  taking  us  to  tlie  Kue  dcs  Poulies  he  leads 
us  gradually  in  his  second  chapter  (the  first  being  a  kind  of  general 
introduaion)  to  tlic  Place  du  Carrousel.  Kver)'  house  receives  its  due 
notice  as  we  Journey  along.  Here  is  the  Huicl  du  Boucliage,  where 
Gabrielle  d'Eslr^es  resided  I'or  some  time  ;  a  little  further  on  coracs  the 
H6lel  de  Bourbon,  purchased  by  the  family  of  tliat  name  in  1303,  rebuilt 
in  1390,  and  pulled  down  in  1537,  after  the  decree  of  confiscation  Iiad 
been  imbllshed  against  the  notorious  Constable.  The  Hotel  de  r.ourlion 
was  one  of  the  finest  in  Paris,  and  the  old  historian  Sauval  says  of  its 
gallery  :  *'  De  fait,  alors  il  n'y  en  avoit  iioim  en  France  qui  I'L^-alat  ni  en 
grandeur,  ni  en  assieltc." 

A  great  many  errors  which  have  long  passed  current,  and  some  of 
which  arc  still  believed,  come  under  the  notice  of  M.  Berty,  and  are

representing,  as  wc  suppose,  a  fcinalc  relative  of  the  donor.  In  tlic 
background  on  the  riglit  is  ^iount  Calvary  ;  on  the  left  is  a  landscape, 
in  which  wc  have  no  difficulty  in  distinguishing  the  Hotel  Ilourbon,  the 
Louvre,  Montniartre  in  the  distance,  and,  near,  the  monastery  of  SainI 
Germain.  No  one  knows  exactly  who  is  the  author  of  the  picture,  btit 
it  may  be  ascribed  to  some  French  artist  who  underwent  the  influence 
of  the  Flemish  school." 

The  second  painting  wc  wLsh  to  notice  is  a  rcretlos,  Hkewisc  In  wood, 
formerly  belonging  to  the  principal  room  of  the  P.^^is  Parliament,  ancl 
now  exhibited  in  one  of  the  halU  of  tlic  Palais  dc  Justice.  "  It  repre- 
sents the  crucifixion  of  our  Lord.  On  the  left  arc  Saint  John  the  Kvan- 
£clist,  Saint  Denis,  and  Charlemagne ;  on  the  ri^ht  the  Virgin,  two  other 
women,  Saint  John  the  liaptlst,  and  Saint  Louis.  Kchind  the  figure  of 
our  Lord  is  the  city  of  Jerusalem  :  on  the  one  side  we  find  .-» <'erlain 
monument,  which  we  shall  have  to  discuss  by  and  by  ;  on  the  other  we 
see  the  Louvre,  wltJ)  the  Hotel  de  Jtourbon  and  part  of  the  Hotel  de 
Nesle.  The  painting  is  generally  attributed  to  Jolm  Van  Eyck  ;  but 
Count  de  I^bordc  considers  it  to  be  the  work  of  I-Iugo  \'an  der  Goes, 
whilst  Dr.  VVaagcn  inclines  rather  towards  Mcmling,  and  M.  Wautens 
towards  Roger  \'an  der  \Vcyden," 

From  an  accurate  study  of  this  reredos,  and  a  comparison  of  it  with 
("arious  other  monuments  of  the  same  nature,  ^L  Berty  has  been  able  to 
determine  wiih  the  utmost  certainty  tliat  it  belongs  to  the  middle  of  the 
15th  century,  and  that  the  topographical  details  it  represents  are 
minutely  con'ecL  Two  steel  engravings,  made  from  drawings  trated  on 
the  originals,  place  the  reader  in  a  position  to  form  a  very  correct  idea, 
bodi  of  the  wooden  picture  of  Saint  Germain  des  Prda,  and  of  tlie 
reredos  to  which  wc  ha^'c  just  been  alluding.  In  addition  to  these 
illustrations,  M.  Hcrty  has  added  twenty  other  steel  engravings  .ind  ten 
woodcuts.  The  panoramic  views  of  the  quais  of  the  Ixuvrc  and  of  the 
Tuilcries  deserve  particularly  to  be  noticed. 

In  conclusion,  this  volume  is  .iccompanied  by  two  sheets  belonging  to 
.1  large  plan  of  Paris,  which,  when  completed,  will  form  a  kind  of  pic- 
torial index  to  all  the  details  embodied  in  the  work. 

We  have  now  given  a  tolerably  correct  notice  of  one  of  tlie  most 
valuable  instalments  of  the  "  Histoire  Genenle,"  published  under  the 
auspices  of  Caron  Haussmann,  the  cnLcrprising  Prifd  tk  ia  Sdnt.  The 
only  regret  we  have  to  express  here  is,  that  M.  Berty  shouUl  not  have 
been  spared  to  accomplish  a  work  he  began  with  so  much  success.  The 
hand  of  death  has  struck  him  down  in  the  midst  of  hit  labours,  and  it 
will  be  the  duty  ofotlicrs  to  resume  the  task  where  he  left  it. 

On  some  further  occasion  we  shall  endeavour  to  present  our  readers 
with  a  amtpte-ritttUi  of  the  subsequent  volumes  belonging  to  this  series. 
In  the  meanwhile,  let  us  not  forget  to  bestow  their  due  amount  of  praise 
upon  the  members  of  the  municipal  commission,  who  have  thus  givcm 
a  new  impetus  to  the  study  of  local  history,  arch-xology,  and  chronology. 
They  set  an  example  which  other  cities  might  appropriately  follow ;  and 
At  a  time  when  the  vestiges  of  the  past  arc  rapidly  dis-ippcaring  from 
amongst  us,  it  is  more  than  ever  ncccssar)-  that  wc  should  not  allow  our- 
selves, in  the  pride  of  our  boasted  civilisation,  to  foiget  altogether  what 
w'c  were  ill  days  of  yore.

On  the  present  occasion,  however,  it  is  noi  to  the  medixval  liisiorian 
thai  we  would  prinripally  (lircrt  the  notice  of  our  readers;  the  subject 
of  this  Te\'iew  is  a  work  of  more  ambitious  pretensions,  and  which  has 
lately  been  rewartlcti  by  one  of  the  prizes  which  the  French  Institute  has 
at  its  disposal.  M.  Fc^ix  Faurc,  author  of  the  two  cxcellenl  volumes 
now  under  consideration,  h.i«i  divided  his  narrative  into  ten  books,  the 
eighth  .ind  ninth  of  which  are  devoted  to  a  sliort  but  very  complete 
account  of  the  legislative  enactments  made  by  Saint  Louis,  and  lo  the 
progress  of  literature  ami  science  during  liis  reign. 

It  is  impossible,  as  M.  Faure  remarks,  to  imayine  a  hap])ier  concourse 
of  circumstances  Uian  that  which  attended  the  birth  of  Louis  IX. 

*'  Every  kind  of  greatness  surrounded  his  cradle ;  if  his  origin  was 
illustrious,  the  present  glor)*  of  his  house  stoot!  likeT.»nsc  unixirallelcd. 
His  father,  who  transmitted  to  him  the  blood  of  Charlemagne,  mingled 
with  that  of  the  Capeti.ins,  seemed  for  a  short  time  destined  to  wear  on 
his  brow  the  threefold  cro^sn  of  England,  France,  and  Castille.  Not 
oiUy  was  Saint  Louis  the  grandson  of  Philip  Augustus,  and  the  {lesccndant 
of  the  Capelians,  he  likewise  belonged  to  the  race  of  Charlemagne — no 
slight  advantage  llien.  The  idea  that  the  throne  was  the  lawful  inheritance 
of  the  Carlovmgian  nice  exclusively,  had  surviveil  even  the  triumph  of 
Hugues  Capet,  am!  the  establishment  of  his  dynasty.  Tliat  idea  sub- 
sisted still,  if  not  in  the  fonn  of  a  settled  opinion,  at  least  as  a  recol- 
lection, in  the  niemoiy  of  people  living  so  late  as  the  t3lh  cciiturj-. 
Poeirj',  besides,  had  takt;n  possession  of  the  gigrmtic  figure  of  Charle- 
magne, and  inerease<l  still  Cirther  its  pro|>ortions.  The  might)*  cmjieror 
had  become  Ihe  Icgcnd-iry  hero  of  the  West. 

"Charlemagne  and  his  twelve  peers,  transformed  by  the  Carlovingi.in 
romances — the  most  popular  expressions  of  the  heroic  poems  of  the  tliy, 
stood  as  the  type,  tlie  ideal  representation  of  royalty  and  of  chivalry. 
F"or  »9j  indeed,  Ihcy  seem  superhuman  and  fabulous,  not  so  for  the  men 
of  ihosc  ages — the  immense  majority  of  whom  accepted  the  metrical 
romaticea  as  the  expression  of  historic  tnitli.  By  his  marriage  with 
Isabella  of  Hainault,  Philip  .\ugustus  had  given  lo  his  posterity  the  double 
lustre,  the  double  strength  of  representing  at  the  same  time  Ihe  two 
royal  races.  For  Isabella  descended  from  Hermtngardc,  slaughter  of 
the  unfortunate  Charles,  Duke  of  Lorraine,  tlic  la.st  of  the  Cariovingians, 
who  disputed  the  throne  with  Hugues  Capet,  and  died  a  prisoner  in  a 
dungeon  of  the  Castle  of  Orleans.  The  nuiiriage  of  Philip  Augustus 
with  Isabelb  of  Hainault,  was  considered  by  contemporaries  as  a  return 
to  the  principle  of  legitimate  succession." 

We  nave  made  lliis  long  extrart  from  M.  Faure's  work,  because  the 
fact  it  illustrates  has  too  often  l>ccon)e  lost  sight  of  by  modem  historians. 
Let  us  now  briefly  notice  the  difficulties  which  stood  in  the  way  of 
Blanche  of  Castille  when  she  .Tssumcd  the  regency.  Ko  opportunity 
seemed  more  propitious  for  the  great  crown  vass-ils  to  recover  their 
independence.  The  young  monarch  was  only  eleven  years  old,  the 
Queen  Dowager  h.^d  no  support  in  the  kingdom,  and  her  foreign  origin 
Iiad  prc%'entcd  her  from  obuining  in  France  that  amount  of  sympathy 
to  which  her  eminent  qu-ilities  fully  entitled  her.  Besides,  where  was 
the  government?  Louis  VI IJ.,  whilst  providing  for  the  due  succession 
of  bis  eldest  son,  had,  strange  to  say,  completely  neglected  to  state

who  sltould  be  rt'getil  daring  the  minority,  and  how  the  affain  ofth 
kingdom  should  be  carried  on.  No  precedent  could  be  quoted,  an<J:hi 
the  queen  assumed  the  reins  of  the  empire,  correctly  speaking,  wfthoi 
any  legal  light  to  do  so,  in  a  time  and  under  circumstances  irhen 
most  unquestionable,  the  most  legally  defined  auUiority,  was 
pensable.  The  calm  examination  of  this  critical  y»osition  is  D' 
jf  we  woidd  fully  appreciate  the  admirable  talents  of  Blanche  of  C 
and  her  consummate  skill  y.%  a  ]x>Utician.  All  tliisprcliminaiy  part  Of 
subject  is  very  well  cxplainctl  by  M.  Faurc,  \vho  has  most  judi ' 
availed  himself  of  the  information  given  in  the  rhymed  chrooide  < 
Philip  Mouskis,  the  ScrifU'res  Hhh^hr  Fratttvriim  of  Pucbesoe,  U 
other  sources. 

The  crusades  occupy,  in.  the  reign  of  Saint  Louis,  one  of  the  praop 
places.    It  is  oxrious  to  notice  the  \-ariety  of  opinions  whkh  reiyn* 
amongst  the  French  on  that  important  point.     No  doubt  most  ct' ill 
barons  and  the  common   people  were  actuated  by  strong  rei^ioi 
feeling,  took  up  amis  with  the  greatest  readiness,  and  made  jo)fi  ^ 
their  prciwrations  for  a  campaign,  which,  in  their  opinion,  was  tool 
for  their  p.ist  misdeeds,  and  so  procure  for  them  the  blwsrngs  of 
lasting  s.T!vatiorL     But  the  more  prudent  of  the  king's  politi*^ 
tried  their  best  to  dissuade  him.     Blanche  of  Castillc,  Gulic)' 
ncnsis,  bishop  of  Paris,  and  many  others,  cndca%"0urcd  to  sh-.. 
subjects  had  the  first  and  strongest  claims  on  his  vigilance;  and  l)ui  it 
was  of  the  highest  consequence  not  to  leave  the  kmgdom  exposed  uj 
the  araTiilion  of  foreign  potcnlaics,  or  the  designs  of  ever-restless  nobid 
l^iiis  was  determined  to  go;  and  in  a  short  time  the  motley  host  stawJ 
for  the  Holy  T^and.  M.  Faurc  docs  not  fail  lo  remark  as  a  sign  of  ticfJj 
in  feudal  institutions  the  fact  that  many  barons  took  a  part  ia  tA, 
expedition,  not  as  free  men,  but  as  soldiers  in  the  ixiy  of  the  king-    01 
course  they  could  most  reasonably  plead  povertj-  as  .on  apolcfgy  for  M 
doing  ;  but  it  is  nevertheless  true  that  they  thus  abdicated  in  poir.i  d 
feet  their  independence,  and  that  they  yielded  the  very  principle  wh^" 
vras  the  kej-stone  of  the  feudal  system. 

On  the  history  of  the  cnisade's  a  number  of  authorities  still  exist 
the  writings  of  lotli  European  and  Oriental  chroniclers^  M.  Km: 
quotes  constantly  in  his  notes  Makrisi,  (;emaI-F.ddin,  and  Abunialuasc 
as  well  as  (Juillaimie  tie  NangLs,  Matthew  Paris,  and  the  aminymoo 
monk  of  Saint  Denis.  His  textbook,  howe\X'r,  is  the  chatty  M>!uniefi 
the  brave  SenJchal  de  Cham[)agnc,  whose  picturesque  pages  are  no  Irt 
remarknblc  for  the  general  .iccuracy  of  the  dc5rri])tions,  than  for  Ih 
vividness  with  which  the)*  arc  painted  and  the  shrewd  obser^-aiions  ti« 
contain.  The  sad  results  of  the  crusade  are  sufficiently  known,  anJ 
was  not  without  a  secret  feeling  of  shame  that  the  Egj-pduu  si 
themselves  tieprived,  by  the  avance  and  greed  fflT  their  emirs,  of  th 
tremendous  ad\*antage  they  would  have  enjoyed  if  they  lud  retaao

On  the  other  hand,  the  chronicler  Baudoin  d'Avesnes  represents  Simon 
de  Montfort  as  really  wishing  only  to  push  on  his  ouni  ambitious 
designs,  endeavouring  all  tlie  time  to  conceal  them  under  a  veil  of 
anxiety  for  the  prosperity  of  the  commonwealth  {/ahant  scmbfant  que 
i'eslfottr  le  profit  du  royatime). 

During  an  epoch  of  violence  and  misrule,  when  Too  often  might  was 
right,  I^uis  IX.,  or  as  he  is  more  familiaTly  called,  Saint  Louis,  furnishes 
us  n-ith  the  bright  instance  of  a  king  whose  thoughts  and  actions  were 
unifonnly  and  exclusively  directed  towards  the  good  of  his  subjects. 
"  His  reign,"  says  M.  Faure,  "  based  upon  tlie  respect  of  justice,  left 
the  deepest  traces  both  in  France  and  in  die  whole  Cluisiian,  world.  Whilst 
Saint  Louis  prepared  and  rendered  inevitable  all  the  social  and  political 
Iransfonnations  which  brought  about  modern  civilisation  as  a  result,  his 
virtaes  gave  in  the  eyes  of  men  a  kind  of  sacred  character  to  royalt)', 
which  was  to  be  tlie  instrument  of  that  long  revolution.  So  momentous 
a  cliange,  like  all  change;!,  liad  its  jicriods  of  violenie  and  of  UDtoward- 
ncss,  of  rcpcniancc  and  of  reaction.  It  could  not  have  been  otherwise, 
for  even  princes  such  as  Saint  Louis  can  only  in  the  course  of  an  ordi- 
nary life  inaugurate  the  reforms  which  others  must  carry  out.  If  it  were 
different,  we  should  never  feel  but  the  benefits  of  revolution ;  or,  rather, 
revolutions  would  exist  no  more.  In  their  stead  we  should  have  the 
regular  and  peaceful  course  of  a  progress  realised  in  the  constant 
removal  of  national  and  social  deficiencies,  the  correction  of  evil,  and 
the  strengthening  of  that  which  is  goo<l." 

Time  will  not  allow  us  to  do  more  than  glance  at  the  two  books  in 
which  M.  Faure,  as  wc  have  already  said,  describes  the  legislative  en- 
actments of  Saint  Louis,  and  the  iniellectu.il  stale  of  France  during  his 
reign.  Wc  must,  however,  take  the  opportunity  of  correcting  here  a 
mistake  which  many  historians  have  commiiied  respecting  the  code  of 
laws  generally  known  by  the  title  of  EtabKssemcnIs  de  Saint  Louis. 
The  majority  of  writers  who  allude  to  it,  reason  as  if  it  was  a  statute- 
book,  bindii^g  not  only  the  king's  immediate  vassals,  but  the  whole  of 
the  realm.  The  full  title  of  the  coile  favonrs  that  supposition,  and  the 
preface  with  which  it  opens  likewise  bears  that  character.    A  short  cxa-

mination,  nevertheless,  of  the  book  itself  will  show  that  in  pwBt  o 
the  Eiablitstmtnts  were,  not  a  code  promulgated  by  Saint  Louis, ' 
series  of  deriiiions  notc<l  <lown  from  Itme  to  linK  by  some  law 
and  which  afterwards  were  put  into  a  kind  of  ahnpe,  and  publtsti 
being  the  Uws  confirmed  in  the  court  of  parliament. 

The  history  of  science  and  literature  during  liie  131I1  century  it 
means  devoid  of  interest.      Paris   retains    still  its  hi^h  position 
centre  of  mental  culture;  it  is  at  the  University  of  Paris  that  AJc 
Halesius,  Stephen  Langlon,  Roger  Bacon,  Thomas  Aquinas, 
Magnus,  and  so  many  other  einioent  iliinkers  pursue  their  die 
studies,   and   prc|iarc  themselves  to  defend  the  cause  of  Clirist 
from  the  metaphysical  point  of  %iew.     It  is  true  that  the  wor 
Aristotle  has  become  ahnost  universal,  and  tliat  hts  authority  is  I 
nigh  considered  as  e<iual  to  that  of  the  Holy  Scriptures ;  but,  atj 
same  time,  eloquent  protests  are  made  by  Roger  Ricon  and  01 
against  the  excesses  of  scholasticism.     In  the  meanwhile  Hagua 
SaimCher,  assisted  by  frvc  hundred   religious  of  the  order  of  S 
Dominic,    accomplishes  his  gigantic  concordance  of  the   Bible, 
Stephen  Ijinglon  applies  himself  likewise  to  the  revision  of  the  sm 
text.     M.  Kaurc  goes  on  to  review  the  progress  made  in  the  \iA 
branches  of  scicntitic  knowledge ;  he  describes  in  the  most  intetes 
manner  the  organisation  and  privileges  of  the  University  of  Paris, 
after  a  short  but  careful  summary  of  the  state  of  vernacular  literature 
conrUides  with  a  sketch  of  the  fine  arts,  dwelling  [tarticulaity  on 
beautiful  Saiiite-Chapenc  of  Paris,  that  monument  of  the  piety  aod 
lightened  taste  of  Louis  IX.

A  VERV  interesting  inscription  on  a  large  slab  (9  ft  by  a  ft.  11  ins.) 
has  wry  recendy  been  discovered  on  the  land  ol  Mr.  H.  Cadell,  Of 
Grai>gc,  in  the  parish  or  Cairitlen,  Linlithgowshire.     It  is  as  follows  :— 

IMP  .  CAES  .  TITO  AELIO 
HADRIANTONINO 

AVC.  PIO.  P.P.  LEG,  II 

AVC.  PERUPlllIUCL.il 

PEC.  ; 

the  meaning  being  llut,  at  the  spot  where  this  memorial  was  act  tqi  the 
Second  Legion,  named  Augusta,  rompk-ted  work  of  465 3  paces;  dedi- 
cating this  record  to  Antoninus  Pius,  the  reigning  emperor.  It  Js  in  an 
ornamental  panel,  the  central  comjiartnient.  The  two  outer  divisions 
are  filled  with  sculpturcil  figures  under  canopies.  That  to  the  left 
exhibits  a  horseman,  with  spear  and  shield,  riding  over  a  group  of 
barbarians,  two  of  whom  have  long  rectangular  shields,  while  the  victor 
carries  one  of  oval  shape.  The  coniijartment  on  the  right  is  filled  with 
six  or  seven  figures  sacrificing  before  an  altar,  with  three  animals  in  the 
foreground — a  ram,  an  ox,  and  what  is  probably  intended  for  a  pig,  but 
it  more  resembles  a  dog.  ISvhind  this  a:&svntbly  is  a  banner,  upon 
which  is  inscribed :

AVC. 

thus  completing  the  story  told,  in  showing  that  the  Second  legion  had 
celebrated  the  termination  of  this  important  portion  of  the  .\ntonine 
wall  by  sacrifices.  'J'his  monument  is  one  of  the  most  important  yet 
discovered  along  the  line  of  this  great  barrier;  and  it  ts  not  without 
considerable  artistic  merit. 

This  slab  was  found  upon  an  elevated  spot  called  "Windmill-hill," 
above  Uridgeness  Harbour;  and  thus  it  is  evidence  in  tlie  inquiry  re- 
specting the  termination  of  the  wall,  whicli  is  placed  by  some  at  Carriden, 
by  others  at  Abercom,  some  miles  further  down  the  Firth  ;  but  at  the 
same  time,  it  does  not  settle  the  disputed  tiuestion.  Gordon  ("  Itin. 
Scptcnt.")  says  that  all  traces  of  the  wall  failed  him  at  Carriden  ;  but  it 
is  well  known  how  thoroughly  the  works  of  m.in's  hand  get  cl^ccd  by 
time  in  various  wa)-s ;  and  there  is  no  more  effectual  effacer  of  earthen 
stnicturcs  than  agriculture.  Had  the  wall  terminated  here  it  would 
probably  have  been  referred  to  in  the  inscription.  .-M  .il!  events,  the 
discovery  will  lead  to  a  re'view  of  the  ground,  and  of  the  arguments /rij 
and  co/r.

which  have  held  cnamols.  Some  have  considered  the  remains  as  late

Mj)i>ear,  cnrnir  in  cither  view.  The  .slcull,  which  is  well  preserved,  in- 
dicates that  the  warrior  was  in  the  prime  of  life;  and  it  presents  all  the

Dr.  McCaul  suj^csts  that  these  lines  give  the  name  of  the  owner, 
Caius  Utius  PescenninuB,  or  Pcsccnnianus,  who  was  probably  related 
to  a  family  at  .1\scrnia  in  Italy,  one  of  whom  was  called  Qnintus  Utius 
Pesccnnianus,  .and  another  Cains  Utius.  He  also  refers  to  the  Chester 
sepulchral  monument  engraved  in  the  "  Collectanea  Anticjua,"  pi.  viil 
vol.  vi.,  considering  that  i:  records  one  of  the  same  family. 

Dr.  McCaul  is  one  of  our  most  able  foreign  colleagueSj  and  he  has 
secured  means  to  obtain  early  information  in  English  archaeology,  which 
he  comments  on  in  the  University  College,  of  which  he  is  the  president ; 
and  among  the  latest  Unglish  intelligence  which  has  come  under  his 
scrutiny  is  that  in  our  "  NoteSj"  in  the  March  number  of  The  GENitE- 
man's  Macazime.  I  may  take  this  opportunity  of  infonning  him  that  it 
was  the  reading  of  Dis  Mambus  Hardaiioms  1  questioned.  The  doctor 
suggests  it  may  be  Partia/ionis,  the  Greek  U  being  used.  The  genitive 
case  certainly  is  not  usual  in  this  position  in  our  inscriptions,  but  I  did 
not  foi^et  that  it  does  occur.

PAysita/  iVwwcf.— Major  Tcnnant,  of  the  Indian  Survey,  reports  lo 

the  Astronomical  Society  upon  some  observations  of  the  zodiacal  light 
made  during  liie  first  two  months  of  the  present  year.  Upon  no  occa- 
sion was  there  any  appearance  of  annularity ;  the  shape  gf  the  nebu- 
losity being  always  that  of  a  long  ellipse  or  parabola. — Questions 
have  sometimes  arisen  upon  the  colour  of  sun-spots;  but  the  point  is  a 
difficult  one  to  settle,  on  account  of  the  brilliancy  of  die  solar  disc, 
which  kills  colour  and  makes  the  spots  look  black ;  while  the  fact  of 
obsen'ations  being  made  through  coloured  glass  renders  any  specific 
tint  they  might  present  undiscoverable.  But  Mr.  Broughton  lately  told 
the  Manchester  Philosophical  Society  that  from  observations  made 
without  shaded  glasses,  and  by  casting  the  sun's  image  upon  a  screen, 
he  had  come  to  the  conclusion  that  the  spots  have  a  red  colour.  The 
writer  has  at  times  noted  an  apparent  purj)le  tint  in  the  spots,  but  has 
generally  attributed  it  to  the  effect  of  contrast. — Dr.  Weisse,  of  ViennSj

Sctaitific  Notes  of  the  Month.

Electricity. — A  continental  telegraph  engineer,  M.  Cauderay,  has 
maiie  known  a  curious  fact  touching  the  iniluencc  of  static  electricity 
upon  smoke.  He  finds  that  when  .a  jet  of  smoke  is  dlrectc<]  against 
the  comluctor  of  an  electrical  machine  the  solid  and  li(iuid  roqniscules 
arc  dra«-n  towards  the  conductor  and  precipitated  upon  it  like  a  dust 
film,  'i'obacro  smoke  blown  through  a  tube  against  the  machine  shows 
the  effect  very  well. — Anoihcr  curious  fnct  is  announced  by  M.  Gerard. 
If  a  metallic  ring, — made  of  wire,  the  diameter  of  which  varies  regu- 
larly, so  that  at  one  side  of  the  ring  it  is  very  thin,  and  at  the  other  side 
relatively  very  thick — be  suspended  over  «n  electro-magnet,  il  will  begin 
to  revolve.  Tlie  author  offers  no  explanation  of  this  phenomenon,  Ijut 
he  says  that  he  sees  in  it  the  germs  of  a  new  system  of  telegraphy. — Pro- 
fessor Gutiirie,  of  the  Royal  College,  Mauritius,  has  invented  a  new 
form  of  v'oltastat  and  voltameter.  The  electric  current  decomposes 
water  in  a  sort  of  barometer  cistern,  and  the  generated  gases,  by  press- 
ing upon  and  altering  the  level  of  the  surface  of  the  liquid,  vary  tlie 
distance  between  a  pair  of  platinum  electrodes  through  which  the 
current  passes ;  so  that  the  instrument  acts  analogously  to  ilie  governor 
of  a  steam-engine.  The  pressure  upon  the  water  likewise  drives  mer- 
cury up  a  tube,  and  the  height  of  the  column  gives  an  indication  of  the 
constancy  of  the  current. — A  Spanish  obser\'er,  Scnor  T..indercr,  points 
out  the  important  &ct  that  if  the  zinc  plates  of  .t  battery  lie  coated  with 
wax  or  varnish  upon  the  si{lcs  not  presented  to  the  ropper  plates,  the 
expenditure  of  the  former  metal  will  be  lessened  by  about  onchalf.  He 
says  that  only  the  zinc  surface  lacing  the  copper  is  effective  in  produc- 
ing a  current,  and  that  the  back  of  the  plate  is  merely  eaten  away  by  the 
acid  without  benefit  to  the  battery. 

Chemistry. — Mr.  Chandler  Roberts  has  brought  forward  some  inter- 
esting observations  on  the  occurrence  of  organic  appearances  in  colloid 
silica  obtained  by  dialysis.  The  structures  in  question  indicate  a  vege- 
table growth,  analogous  to  the  markings  seen  111  moss  agates  and  Mocha 
stones,  and  the  author  concludes  that  they  are  due  to  the  growth  of 
fiingi  or  mildew  in  the  partially  solidihed  jelly;  the  spores  of  organic 
life  being  probably  derived  from  the  almosiphere.  .\propos  of  such 
spores,  we  may  note  that  Mr.  Dancer  and  Dr.  Angus  Smith  have  heen 
microscopically  examining  the  air  of  Manchester,  and  have  detected 
them  in  slarthng  abundance,  a.s  m.'iny  as  37^  millions  being  estimated  as 
the  number  existing  in  about  2500  litres  of  atmosphere. — The  chemists 
of  Gtasgo\v  have  combined  to  form  a  socict)*,  with  Dr.  An<lcrson  for 
President.  The  first  formal  meeting  was  held  on  the  6lh  of  April. — 
Mr.  Chance  lately  delivered  an  interesting  lecture  to  the  Chemical 
Society  on  the  manufacture  of  glass,  historical  and  practical.  He  entered 
at  length  into  the  merits  of  the  various  descriptions  of  sand  and  alka- 
line ingredients  used  in  glass  making,  and  gave  analyses  of  tlie  glass  of 
the  present  day,  compared  with  specimens  of  that  made  in  the  rath 
and  1 6th  centuries.  The  actions  of  heat  in  causing  devitrification,  and 
of  light  in  discolouring  glass,  were  entered  into,  and  questions  of  per- 
manence were  discussed.  The  manufacture  of  soluble  glass  was  also 
described. — At  another  sitting  of  this  body,  Professor  Guthrie  brought 
forward  his  "Graphic  Formulse,"  which  he  stated  to  be  founded  00  a

comes  impregnated  with  the  vapour,  and  will  remain  for  several  mool 

uncharged  :  hut  it  h-is  a  peculiar  flavour  when  cooked,  and  it  sea 

doubtful  whether  the  process  is  applicable  to  fowl  j^Tcservation.  Repa

alUidcd   iQ  in  thcKC  pages   some    months  ago,  and  which  coDssts

was  pronounced  by  n  New  York  butcher  to  have  tiecn  killed  aboatt

used  in  Germany  as  a  preventative  of  the  catUe  plague.  It  is  sometia

Phoiitgraphy. — M.  Victor  Fouqu*!  publishes  an  historical  work  on

Miscdlaneous. — An  iiigctiious  inctliod  of  compressing  molten  steel  for 
guns  and  other  purposes,  si>  as  to  save  hammtrrirvg,  has  l]ei:n  invented 
by  M.  Cazalat.  At  the  upjicr  part  of  the  mould  into  which  the  metal  is 
tu  be  poured  is  a  diamber  containing  a  highly  inflammable  povrdcr: 
^vllen  the  mould  has  been  filled  it  i.s  tightly  closed  up,  and  a  portion  of 
this  powder  is  allowed  to  fall  upon  the  surface  of  the  metal ;  it  in- 
stantly ignites,  and  the  ga-ses  generated  exert  a  great  pressure  throughout 
the  molten  mass,  expelling  vapours  from  it  and  driving  the  molecules 
into  dose  union. — Dr.  Schlegcl  says  that  the  light  of  a  spirit-lamp 
burning  common  salt  in  its  flame  has  long  been  used  in  Chin.i  as  a 
means  of  distinguishing  persons  affected  witli  leprosy.  The  virus  can 
be  detected  in  the  blood  of  a  man  who  lias  been  infected  with  the 
dreadful  disease  only  a  day  or  two.  By  ordinarj'  daylight  his  skin  would 
not  look  different  from  that  of  a  healthy  individual ;  but  the  mono- 
chromatic light,  whilKt  it  make«  the  licallhy  tiun's  face  appear  deadly 
pale,  turns  me  leper's  as  ret!  as  fire. — The  Royal  Society  arc  memo- 
rialising Government  to  erect  a  statue  to  Faraday,  in  Wcstmin-stcr  Abbey, 
at  the  pulilic  expense. — l'rofc.ssor  Leone  Levi  h.is  in  preparation  for  the 
forthcoming  Ilritish  Association  meeting,  a  paper  "  Un  the  Progress  of 
Science  in  the  United  Kingdom  within  the  past  thirty  years,  as  evidenced 
by  the  number,  strength,  and  activity  of  the  learned  societies  tlierein

Toachine,  wliich  is  tlic  latest  offshoot  of  .-Unerican  constructive  ingenuity  I 
Small  pumps  draw  tl:e  milk  through  inUia-ruliber  suckers,  which  move 
to  imitate  the  action  of  a  calf  ia  sucking,  or  of  a  hand  in  milking. 
Speed,  cleouline&s,  and  comfort  to  tlic  animal  are  the  merits  chiiiued

by  ibe  bte  Mr.  Blanco  White,  who,  to 
Miy  the  ieaat.  departed  widely  from  the

of  the  rcNidenl  aothoriltoe  of  the  Univer- 
sity to  tbe  iirofeesonblp  of  Moral  Philo- 
sophy. The  lecture*  which  he  delivered 
la  this  capadty  had  Ihe  inerli  of  being 
clear  and  simple,  nnd  many  an  Oxford 
man  ban  found  tbent  la  tbuir  collective 
form  very  utelul  help*  towards  a  Srst- 
cloM  in  dnmical  hnnoure. 

In  ISSG,  on  the  de«lb  of  Dr.  Burton,

help  forward  ail  the  aspiring  libGnli  of 
tbd  two  Universities,  recorainonded  Dr. 
Hampden  to  tlie  crown  for  the  appoint-

forward  all  their  MtrengUi,  and,  aided  by 
s<:>me  of  the  Kvangeltcali,  tried  to  affix  an

At  Oxford,  Hampden  wu  never  gene-

Imiaeiise  reader,  and  a  profound  nnd 
original  thinker,  bai  bad  tittle  abont  blot
