ong them I found a few old acquaintances, especially the Duke de Villareal, recently Prime Minister in Portugal, and son of the Souza who published the magnificent Camoens. I knew him when he was Minister of Portugal at Madrid, and had much pleasant talk with him about old times. The Circourts were there, Count d'appony, Countess de Ste. Aulaire, and a good many persons whom I knew, so that I had an agreeable visit. December 18.—I went, as usual on Mondays, to Fauriel's lecture on Spanish Literature; which, as usual, was much too minute on the antiquities that precede its appearance. In fact, now, after an introductory lecture and two others, he has not completed his view of the state of things in Spain at the first dawning of tradition, seven hundred years before Christ. At this rate, he will not, by the time we leave Paris next spring, have reached the Arabs. He lectures at the Sorbonne, whose ancient halls are now as harmless as they were once formidable, and has an audience

nd his widest claim to distinction, must rest,—the History of Spanish Literature. He devoted himself to this labor, as was his wont, with noitation. I have been employed for some time on a History of Spanish Literature, and need for it copies of a few manuscripts to be found in line. He was one of the German translators of the History of Spanish Literature. They will go by the first spring vessel, and that is not farern world. . . . . I work away constantly at my History of Spanish Literature, after which you kindly inquire. It is now approaching 1700,you for your kindness in sending me a copy of your History of Spanish Literature, until I had read the whole work. This I have now done very rom the United States, the author of the excellent History of Spanish Literature, augmenting the list of our honorary members. Five years ago met with a solid and most gratifying success, the History of Spanish Literature maintained its place, and in 1863, when he had accumulated ad

— To the Rev. H. H. Milman, London. Boston, April 30, 1850. my dear Mr. Milman,—I am indebted to you for a most kind letter concerning my History of Spanish Literature. Such approbation as your kindness has given is the true and highest reward an author receives; for though the public may read,—and in this country the reay interesting and instructive letter which you sent me in the spring, and a note of May 9, in which you speak with your accustomed kindness of my History of Spanish Literature, of which I had early ventured to send you a copy. But the state of our public affairs, on which I wished to say something, seemed every week to be likely and good-will, and for the very interesting letter that came with them, if I had not been constantly hoping to receive from Germany a copy of my History of Spanish Literature, translated by Dr. Julius, and enriched by dissertations from you on. the Romanceros and Cancioneros. Five months ago half of it was printed, but since tha<

Mr. Ticknor's visit to Europe for the interests of the Library, subsequent attention and personal liberality to the higher departments of the collection. For some time after the publication of his History of Spanish Literature, Mr. Ticknor did not take up any new or absorbing occupation, but, at the end of a little more than two years, he was asked—unexpectedly to him—to take part in a work which connected itself with plans and desires that had long been among his favorite speculations, and he soon became profoundly interested, and zealously active in promoting the organization of the Boston Public Library. In the early period of his life, when he returned from Europe in 1819, after enjoying great advantages from the public libraries of the large cities an

journeyman leather-dresser; I had never had more than twenty-five dollars a month; I had never paid five dollars to be carried from one place to another; I had never owned a pair of boots; I had never paid a penny to go to the play or to see a sight, but I owned above six hundred volumes of good books, well bound. To Hon. Edward Twisleton. Boston, January 18, 1859. my dear Twisleton,—I thank you for the correction you have taken the pains to send me of an error in my History of Spanish Literature, which I immediately entered in the margin of the copy from which I intend speedily to reprint it. I only wish my other friends would be equally observant and kind. Von Raumer sent me one correction much like yours,--telling me that Ferdinand, whom —in note 10 to Chapter XI. of the First Part—I had called father of John I. of Portugal, was, in fact, his half-brother. But this is all, and I mention it because it is so, as well as from its odd similarity to the one you have suggested.<
