Foelix, the editor of the Revue Étrangere, was afterwards to render Sumner substantial kindness during the latter's visit to Paris. Louis Wolowski 1810-1876. Wolowski was chosen a member of the Chamber of Deputies in 1848-49, and 1871, and afterwards a senator for life. In 1839, he became a law professor in the Conservatory of the Arts and Trades; and in 1855 was admitted to the Academy of Moral and n them was almost wholly intellectual, as Mrs. Howe had a man's brain; but intellectual sympathy, you know, is very sure ground for friendship. Several of Mrs. Howe's letters are printed in the Memoir of her sister, Mrs. A. J. Lyman, Cambridge, 1876. My impression at that time was that he was very good tempered, and that he was fond of youngsters,—at all events as listeners. William Story was his favorite, as he well might be; for he was very jolly and amusing, and at the same time res

itation because of his inability as yet to speak French. Notwithstanding it was Sunday, I went with some friends to the Italian Opera. The opera for the night was Don Giovanni, one of the most famous, if not the most so, of the productions of Mozart. The performers were the famous Italians, who now stand the highest in the musical world,—Signori Rubini Giovanni Battista Rubini, 1795-1854; reputed the first Italian tenor of his time. (Don Ottavio); Tamburini Antonio Tamburini, 1800-1876. After singing in Italian theatres, he appeared first in Paris in 1832. He retired from the stage in 1854. (Don Giovanni); Lablache Luigi Lablache, 1794-1858; the celebrated basso. He succeeded both in the serious and the comic opera. He came to Paris in 1830, and performed there and in London. He is said to have given music lessons to Queen Victoria. (Leporello), the latter with the most powerful bass voice I ever heard; Madame Grisi Giulia Grisi, 1808-1869. Her first appearance

Mr. Bancroft, but particularly Mr. Brownson; Orestes A. Brownson, 1803-1876. He was by turns the partisan of various theologies; finally entering, in 1844, the Catholic communion. He was the editor and almost the sole writer of the Boston Quarterly Review, established in 1838. He entered on metaphysical and philosophicao 1844. In 1840 he received the portfolio of Public Works. He was one of the four members of the National Assembly, who, in the vote of July 10, 1872, opposed the treaty of evacuation with Germany. He is noted as a botanist. He died in 1875 or 1876, while a member of the Chamber of Deputies. He made a severe attack on the ministry, which produced a sensible effect. He was very witty and caustic, and was constantly interrupted by exclamations of tres bien, or by murmurs of dissent, or more f

When the historian and myself received Mr. Sumner at St. Germain en Laye, in 1858, he was undergoing the severe treatment adopted by Dr. Brown-Sequard for the cure of his spinal injuries. Subjugated as he was by the pain and irritation of the injured organs, Mr. Sumner's conversation still preserved its charm and even animation, when topics interesting to his mind came up between us. Mrs. Parkes wrote, in 1876:— It was said, after Mr. Sumner's northern journey, that he made the acquaintance of all the principal Whig families going north, and of the Tories on his return. He was wondrously popular, almost like a meteor passing through the country. Young, agreeable, full of information and animation, he enchanted every one; and he bore the ovation well and modestly. I recollect him as he then was perfectly. I used to think he had the good fortune to dispel personally any lingering prejudices w

rnon. Landor at once broke upon me, with something like fierceness: Why will you, Mr. Sumner, who speak with such force and correctness, employ a word which, in the present connection, is not English? Washington's body was never burnt; there are no ashes,—say, rather, remains. I tell this story, compliment and all, just as it occurred, that you may better understand this eccentric man. I think we were all jaded and stupid, for the conversation rather flagged. Forster John Forster, 1812-76; contributor to reviews, and author of the biographies of Oliver Goldsmith, Charles Dickens, Walter Savage Landor, and Dean Swift (the last incomplete). was there, whom you well know as the great writer in the Examiner and the author of the Lives. He is a very able fellow, and is yet young. Landor takes to him very much. His conversation is something like his writing. I had a good deal of talk with him. You must know, also, that our host, Mr. Kenyon, is a bosom friend of Southey and Wordsw
