yed the great work of an author then living,—the Promessi Sposi of Manzoni. Hillard wrote to him, Nov. 29: You have made an admirable use with greater glow and energy. Some of his speeches are splendid. Manzoni's tragedies are better than Niccolini (who is a languid writer); b Its homage to truth and virtue I admire. The Pope should remit Manzoni Alessandro Manzoni. 1784-1873. His rank is first among modern Alessandro Manzoni. 1784-1873. His rank is first among modern Italian writers.

the German is the palm of originality, if the Heloise of Rousseau does not bear it away. Lessing's Nathan der Weise is considered a masterpiece; but to compare it with my Alfieri! What I have read of Schiller I like very much. I have his works as my compagnon de voyageto America; and hope, before I touch New York, to read him entire. This morning I breakfasted with Rogers,—old Rogers, as he is called. It was delightful to listen to his wisdom-dropping voice; but I started when he said Manzoni's Promessi Sposi is worth ten of Scott's novels. Say thirty! said I. Well, thirty, said the wise old man; I only said ten for fear of shocking you. And this is the judgment of one of the ancient friends of Sir Walter Scott. Ah! I remember well the pleasure I had from that book. I read a copy belonging to you, on the road from Rome to Florence, and I cried sincerely over many of the scenes. At Heidelberg I passed a sad day, after I read of the loss of the Lexington. I have read Longfe

In the latter part of the forenoon we had fine views of their villa about five or six miles from Milan, where they live half the year. The family now consists of the elder Mad. Manzoni, who is the daughter of the well-known Marquis Beccaria, and an interesting old lady; Manzoni himself, who has been a wiManzoni himself, who has been a widower these two years; and his five children, with an ecclesiastic, who is almost always found in respectable Italian families, as a tutor and religious director. To this party was added to-day, to meet us, Baron Trechi, . . . . who some time since fifteen-months' confinement in an Austrian prison. The whole was pleasant, but the person who most interested me was Manzoni himself, who must, I suppose, be now admitted to be the most successful author Italy has produced since the days of Alfi

He seems extremely well pleased that the Monaca through eighteen editions, and declares that he is no imitator of Manzoni or anybody else; for that in 1808 he had made collections for an he Marquis and Marchioness Litta in their palace, but to learn that Manzoni—who has recently been married again— is still in town; that all th this part of Lombardy . . . . . . . . Two evenings we spent at Manzoni's, whose house is the only one in Milan, I am told, where society was impossible not to feel that the people were kind and good. Manzoni talked well, and upon subjects where he might have been excused frther to do or to suffer wrong. But such evenings as we spent at Manzoni's are spent by few in Milan. The great ambition of the Milanese l

r the History of Painting in the Middle Ages from manuscripts entirely, is, that he can in no other way get them quite authentic, while in the manuscripts he can get them with accurate dates. January 8.—We went this evening a little while to Thierry's, by appointment with the Circourts, whom we met there. Thierry himself we found in the same chair and in the same position in which he is always seen, but with the same spirit that raises him above his bodily infirmities. He talked about Manzoni, and repeated long passages of the Adelchi; he talked about the present state of painting in France; and about the Canadians, in whom he takes a great interest, and to whom, for the sake of their French names and origin, his heart warms, till he wishes them success. This was during the Canadian insurrection, called the Papineau Rebellion. On all these various points he talked well, with interest, and even with enthusiasm, forgetting, apparently,—when he spoke of painting, for instance, o
