portion of my countrymen any vulgar propagandism. He spoke of Washington with great respect, and inquired about Sparks's Life and Writings, and this new labor of Guizot. He requested me, on my return to America, to make the acquaintance of the Austrian Minister. After this reception from the Prince, I should probably have foundhe world, of life; and to these I shall fondly recur as my springs of happiness. Are you aware how the French journals are discussing and eulogizing Washington? Guizot, by his translation of Sparks, Published 1839-1840. and particularly his Introduction, has given him great vogue at present. See a leader in the Journal des Dranslation, which, by the way, was made by Tieck's daughter, seems to have fallen still-born. Nobody says a word about it. He seems a little mortified to see how Guizot has distanced him before the public. Good-by. Leben Sie wohl. Ever affectionately yours, C. S. P. S. I have seen three duels, with swords: first being t

feat. Still all this cannot destroy the stored recollections I have of Europe, of the world, of life; and to these I shall fondly recur as my springs of happiness. Are you aware how the French journals are discussing and eulogizing Washington? Guizot, by his translation of Sparks, Published 1839-1840. and particularly his Introduction, has given him great vogue at present. See a leader in the Journal des Debats about 15th November, and three articles by Saint-Marc Girardin in the same papre procurable in Boston; but all these articles are interesting to Americans: they are well written, and come from distinguished pens. It was the first article about which I conversed with Prince Metternich. Von Raumer's German translation, which, by the way, was made by Tieck's daughter, seems to have fallen still-born. Nobody says a word about it. He seems a little mortified to see how Guizot has distanced him before the public. Good-by. Leben Sie wohl. Ever affectionately yours, C. S.

which sails to-morrow from this port for Liverpool. What can I write that will not be utterly dull to you of London? If you still persevere in your intention of giving an article on American eloquence, Mr. Hayward's article appeared in the Quarterly Review, Dec., 1840, Vol. LXVII., entitled, American Orators and Statesmen. With Mr. Everett, who is there mentioned. Mr. Hayward afterwards became well acquainted. let me ask you to read a paper in the last North American Review (July) on Guizot's Washington. You will find there some six or eight pages, which present a neat and concise view of partiesin the United States from the adoption of the Federal Constitution down to a comparatively recent period. The author is Mr. Edward Everett, recently Governor of Massachusetts, and now in Europe, where he purposes passing two or more years. He will be in England before he returns here; if so, I hope he may see you. He is, perhaps, the most accomplished man of my country. Our politi

ot have been enforced. A mass of excited men would have torn the slave from his master. The Latimer case; Wilson's Rise and Fall of the Slave Power, Vol. L pp. 477-480. This incident has called forth and given body to the feeling already existing on the subject of Slavery in Massachusetts. General Cass has arrived from Paris, and is fast becoming a powerful candidate for the Presidency. I was sorry to hear from him that the Quintuple Treaty was beyond all resurrection, and that even Guizot gave it over now. On many accounts, I should like Cass for President over any other candidate. He is a person of good morals, of heart, and appreciating the amenities of life. It is difficult to know, with any minuteness, his opinions on political questions. He professes to be a Democrat, bred at the feet of Jefferson; and he dislikes England,—or, rather, what he imagines to be English policy. Still, I have great faith that if in office he would, in spite of his Jeffersonian breeding and

now him as a remarkable statesman,—more than a match for Pottinger, Cushing, and Lagrenee. Cushing has made a grammar of the Manchu language, which he proposes to publish,—whether in English or Latin he had not determined. You know he studied diligently the old Tartar dialect, that he might salute the Emperor in his court language. Fletcher Webster is preparing a book on China. What is thought of Cousin and his philosophy? Is the first volume of his edition of Plato published? How is Guizot's name pronounced? Is the Gui as in Guido in Italian, or as in guillotine in French?

Eothen is a vivid, picturesque book, by a man of genius. What are you doing? When do you set your face Westward?
