chard Forest, author of a handbook on Spain. Both accepted the new book with some puzzled queries as to how it could emanate from America. Basil Hall and Mrs. Trollope had given forth their impressions of the United States, and their readers were not prepared for scholarly yet graceful and novel historical work. Yet such was the rating of Ferdinand and Isabella pronounced by these competent specialists in Spanish lore. One sympathetic and appreciative review came from the hand of Count de Circourt, a man described by Lamartine as a living chest of human knowledge, which gave the unknown and modest American immense satisfaction. He was actually received at once into the international circle of authoritative scholarship. Hallam, Guizot, Milman, Sismondi, Thierry, were among those to give Prescott not condescending but cordial welcome as one of their own rank. Such an authority as C. P. Gooch states in 1913 that the work published in 1837 has not been superseded to this day. Res

t the time greater than Sumner's, and their friends who saw them then thought Parker more likely to be the survivor. Sumner met again in Paris Montalembert, Villemain, the Mohls, the Circourts, and R. M. Milnes. The Grotes had passed some time in the previous summer at St. Germain en Laye. Mrs. Grote, in a letter to Senior, described a real jolly day, Aug. 3, 1858, in which she took Sumner and M. and Madame du Quaire to drive in the forest. They, as well as Mr. Grote, Henri Martin, and Circourt, dined together in the garden. Another drive followed, and Sumner returned to Paris at half-past 10 in the evening.

au reste, to a considerable degree the same company. . . . . I sat next to Count Circourt, This was the beginning of an acquaintance which ripened into intimacy and produced frequent correspondence. Count Circourt is well known in all the intellectual circles of Europe as possessing prodigious stores of information and a marvn the Life of Prescott. Mr. Ticknor highly valued his correspondence with Count Circourt, which continued with undiminished interest to the last. Madame de CircourMadame de Circourt was a most distinguished person, of rare talents and brilliant acquirements; and was called by M. de Bonstetten a second Madame de Stael, he having been a contempor though he receives him most kindly in his own house, and even presents Mad. de Circourt, who danced the other night with Prince John. So much for forms! I talked with Count Circourt to-day upon two subjects, which he understood better than any Frenchman with whom I ever conversed, —Dante, and the statistics of the United Sta

Chapter 24: Dresden. Prince John. Count Circourt. Von Raumer. Retzsch. Journal. January 20.—I passed an hour this forenoon very profitably with Prince John, in looking over the apparatus criticus he has used in his study o sort well can be; and in general, I have no doubt, most faithfully accurate. Of Mr. Ticknor's knowledge of Dante, Count Circourt wrote thus to Mr. Prescott in January, 1841: The Commentary which Mr. Ticknor has begun —his notes made in 1832 (see seems to have been very short. Of society, however, I have not much to record. . . . .

ruly, the traditions, even, of that old society which once made Paris so charming are already among the things of the past. Its last relics lie buried with Madame de Circourt and Madame de Rauzan. What I saw of it was in 1817, in the salon of the dying Madame de Stael, in that of Madame de Chateaubriand and Madame Constant; thendchamber; and finally in the winter of 1837-38, which we had the pleasure of passing in Paris, when the Duchesse de Broglie and Madame de Rauzan shared with Madame de Circourt the inheritance they had received from their mothers, and Guizot and Thiers and Mole had salons with very little of the old feminine grace and gentleness inh salons. When we were in Paris in 1857, the Duchesse de Rauzan was there with her charming daughter, the Duchesse de Blacas; but it was the summer season, Madame de Circourt was ill, and, though at the Duc de Broglie's and at Thiers' and at Mad. d'haussonville's—both in town and at Gurcy—I met most agreeable people, yet it was p
