Edward L. Pierce, Memoir and letters of Charles Sumner: volume 1, Chapter 12: Paris.—Society and the courts.—March to May, 1838.—Age, 27. (search)
I met M. West, an avocat, and his collaborateur in his Review. I spent a long evening, during which I learned much of the studies and duties of avocats, and of the practice of courts. Indeed, the object of our meeting to-day was to converse on these subjects. March 29. Saw the beautiful exhibition of Sevres porcelain. In the evening went to the Italian Opera. The Opera was I Puritani; the music was certainly delicious, but I am not competent to admire it according to its merits. March 30. This evening attended a meeting of the Societe de Geographie, at which M. Guizot did not preside as expected. The meeting was in one of the halls of the Hotel de Ville. Some old gentlemen sat round a desk, and read reports and papers, while spectators or humbler members of the society sat on benches. The meeting was dull enough, and I left about ten o'clock, while a gentleman was in the midst of reading a fragment of his travels in Bolivia. To Judge Story, Cambridge. Paris, March 3
