te. April 1.—A delightful breakfast at Kenyon's. Southey and his son were there; Chorley, the biographer of and much given to music; and two or three others. Southey, who is in town for two or three days, is grown oldive is better authority on such a point than Allen, Southey, too, this morning, was equally decided, though he self has a good deal of acuteness. In talking of Southey and Wordsworth, he said—what is according to my ownrth has a keen enjoyment of life, and he added that Southey is become extremely weary of life. Not long since,body was predicting what they should see, if he and Southey lived ten years longer. Without directly interrupting him, Southey clasped his hands and cast his eyes upward, ejaculating parenthetically, Which God in his infi this melancholy state, I understand, ever since Mrs. Southey first gave signs of insanity, about five years areature I knew, just sixteen years old, in 1819, at Southey's.

Journal. in honor of the castle and the family. . . . . On the 8th of May, arriving at Keswick:— Southey received us as usual, in his nice and somewhat peculiar library, but seemed more sad, and abstr, a very intelligent man, who seemed to have travelled everywhere . . . . I talked chiefly with Southey himself, who seemed to like to be apart from those around him, and to talk in a very low, gentlof voice. He showed me a curious letter from Brougham, soon after he became Chancellor, asking Southey's advice about encouraging literature by rewards to men of letters; and his answer, saying thaton's, where we met Davies Gilbert,—the former President of the Royal Society,—Guillemard, young Southey, and Mr. Andrew Crosse, of Somersetshire, who has made so much noise of late with his crystall<

. I am the more anxious to write to you now, because I wish to offer you a book published last year by one of my most intimate friends; the History of Ferdinand and Isabella, by Mr. William H. Prescott, of this city, a work which has obtained great success in England as well as in this country, and which is beginning to be known in France and Germany. Our friend Count Circourt published an elaborate review of it lately in the Bibliotheque Universelle, giving it great praise; and Hallam, Southey, and others of the best judges in England have placed it equally high. I wish to offer it to you, therefore, as a specimen of the progress of letters in this country at the present time, and I think it will give you pleasure to look over it. To Baron Lindenau I send, by the same conveyance, a Commentary on the Mecanique Celeste of La Place, By Dr. Bowditch. which marks the limit of our advancement in the exact sciences. But everything with us makes progress. I am struck with it on a

, which I am sure will all be welcome. Please to let me know when you have taken up the remainder of the money in Mr. Irving's hands, and I will send more. From Southey's sale I obtained about thirty volumes, I understand; but, though I believe I have received from it all the Spanish books of any real value that I ordered, I did order, because Rich was afraid he should bid too high, though he spent only half the sum I sent him, with directions to return none of it, except in the shape of Southey's books. . . . . I will send you, as soon as I can have it made out after my return home, a list of my Spanish books; and shall always be glad to have you makend one of the books I then asked you to procure for me was the Carcel de Amor, de Diego de San Pedro. I do not now need it, for it is among the books I bought at Southey's sale. To Don P. De Gayangos.

dmund Head. Boston, June 14, 1852. my dear Sir Edmund,—I begin with business, for I observe that you are very accurate in such matters, and I mean to be, though I fail sometimes . . . . Thank you for the reference to the passage copied by Southey, from Zabaleta, about las ambas silas. Sir E. Head to Mr. Ticknor, June 5, 1852: Have you got the first volume of Southey's Commonplace book ? If so, you will see, at page 62, a passage illustrating the use of the phrase las dos sillas. It apSouthey's Commonplace book ? If so, you will see, at page 62, a passage illustrating the use of the phrase las dos sillas. It appears there to mean the seat of war and the seat of peace; of the manage and the road. It seems, there, to be used in its primitive and literal sense, though I do not quite make out what are the two particular sills referred to. As a proverbial expression, sometimes ambas sillas, referring to the silla a la quieta and the albarda, and sometimes de todas sillas, referring to all modes of mounting and riding, I suppose it means what we mean when we say a man is up to anything, just as the conver

sily accessible to all. An unobtrusive form of occupation which—having already been habitual with Mr. Ticknor on account of his own private purchases—now became incessant, was the reading of trade catalogues of books, for sale at auctions and by booksellers or publishers, piles of which catalogues always lay on his table. On the day when books were first given out Mr. Ticknor passed many hours in watching the process, and recorded the fact that the first taken out was the first volume of Southey's Commonplace Book. In developing his predominant wish and idea, one of the first points he put forward—and he did it in the first report, July, 1852—was that of connecting the Library with the public schools, by granting the privileges of it to those boys and girls who had won the Franklin medal prizes. On his suggestion, the Trustees in their Rules made this to bear a still wider construction, and to admit in addition an equal number of the pupils selected for good conduct by the tea

peak of the biographies which make our knowledge of the history of English literature, for the half-century or more that opened with Dr. Johnson, more complete than for any other period, possibly in any literature. Take Boswell, he said, then Southey's Cowper, the lives of Mackintosh, This memoir had a particular charm for Mr. Ticknor in the last months of his life, and he often said, as he laid it down, that it seemed to him as fresh and interesting as in the first of his several readincupied until the last, having just reached the concluding volume when his strength failed, and even then desiring to have it read to him, thus linking his last hours with those of the friend and the object of admiration of his early days. Scott, Southey, and so on, and the memoirs are so rich. With Mr. Charles Francis Adams, who visited him that evening, he had a most spirited and agreeable conversation, in the course of which he expatiated, with more force and terseness of expression than u
