Believe me, my dear sir, Very truly yours, Henry Hallam. A few months later Mr. Ticknor writes as follows:— To Don P. De Gayangos. Boston, October 14, 1850. My dear Don Pascual,—I wrote you last on the 19th of August, since which I have not heard from you directly; but I know that the copies of my History which I sent to Mr. Barringer and to Don Adolfo de Castro, through your kindness, have safely reached their destination. Don Adolfo writes to me very agreeably about my book, but says he shall answer what I have said about the Buscapie. Young Prescott has returned lately, and brought me the fine copies of Ayllon's Cid, 1579, and of the Toledana Discreta, 1604, which you intrusted to his care.

is more real information than can be found in any of the Spanish histories which I have had occasion to read. The letter appears in the Life of Theodore Parker, to whom it was addressed. The first edition of the work appeared from the press of the Messrs. Harper, New York, in the latter part of the year 1849, while Mr. John Murray, at the same time, published a small edition in London. A Spanish translation was already begun, from advanced sheets, by Don P. de Gayangos and Don Enrique de Vedia, but the last volume of this did not appear until several years later. Meantime, reviews and notices appeared on both sides of the Atlantic, some of which contained inconsiderable objections to matters of style, or to special opinions, omissions, and statements; but all the articles which carried weight with them agreed in praise and respect. The more important notices of Mr. Ticknor's work, at its first appearance, were the following: London Quarterly (by Richard Ford); North Amer

Schack's Geschichte was particularly welcome; it is an important book, and I am very anxious to receive the rest of it. Huber's Programme is excellent, as is everything of his on Spanish literature that I know about, viz. his Skizzen, his Cid's Leben, his Cronica del Cid, and his Lesebuch, all of which I have had from the dates of their publication. What else has he pr's review in the London Quarterly for October, and that of Rossieuw de St. Hilaire in the Revue des Deux Mondes at Paris.

as far as I see it, of poetry or belles-lettres . . . . You will, I hope, be pleased to learn that Lord Mahon has proposed your name as an Honorary Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. You will be united in this with Everett, Prescott, and Bancroft. Lord Mahon, as President of the Society, said at its annual meeting, April 23, 1850: It is also with great pleasure that I find another gentleman from the United States, the author of the excellent History of Spanish Literature, augmenting the list of our honorary members. Five years ago we had not one from that country. At present we have four, namely, Mr. Everett, Mr. Bancroft, Mr. Prescott, and Mr. Ticknor,—an accession of talent and high character of which any society might justly be proud. After reading the book Lord Mahon had opened a correspondence with Mr. Ticknor, whom he had not previously known. Lord Mahon did this without the least suggestion of mine, from being pleased with your book, but I was, of course, glad to
