ut twenty-five, extremely ugly in the lower part of his face, like his mother,— very good-natured, it is said, but with a moderate capacity. The Duke de Broglie came last, with Guizot, who, having had his hints beforehand, pretended to remember a great deal more about me than my vanity could render credible. See Vol. I. p. 256. He talked at first, with much French esprit, upon a recent article of Montalembert on the Revival of the Arts, upon an Edinburgh review on Bacon attributed to Macaulay, and such matters. I thought, in all this, there was something got up for effect, a little more of the fashionable air of the salon than became his character and position. But all Frenchmen—or almost all—desire this reputation for esprit, and are not insensible to the succes de salon; and this was the first time M. Guizot had seen the de Broglie family for several months. At table he talked more like a statesman, on the French elections now approaching, and on American politics. He t<

There have been a great many notices of my History, I understand, in England and this country, which I have not seen; but I have not heard of any of them that were unfavorable. In a letter from Mr. Abbott Lawrence, then our Minister to England, to Mr. S. A. Eliot, he says: I was present a few evenings since, when the Queen asked Mr. Macaulay what new book he could recommend for her reading. He replied that he would recommend Her Majesty to send for the History of Spanish literature, by an American, Mr. Ticknor of Boston. From Ludwig Tieck Potsdam, July 28, 1850. honored friend, Translated from the German.—What a happy time it was when we met almost every day in Dresden. I still look back to that time with much pleasure. Genuine friendship, indeed, consists in this, that men understand each other better every day,<

in Kent, on a visit to the Mild mays and Stanhopes, where I was very glad to have her go for refreshment for a few days, and so missed this pleasure. . . . . Macaulay is the lion. He has been asked to meet us seven times, so that it has got to be a sort of joke. But he is very agreeable, not in perfectly good health, and not ever, and enjoys a green old age, surrounded with the respect of all, even of those most opposed to him in politics. I have met him as often as anybody, except Macaulay, and am to meet him again to-day. To-morrow is our last day for society. We breakfast with the Milmans', lunch at Evelyn Denison's, See Vol. I. p. 408, nrk to finish the arrangements for the Library, and begin my preparations for the Continent, for which I hope to be off in a week. I delivered your letter to Mr. Macaulay, and he has been extremely kind. I breakfasted with him at once, in his beautiful villa, meeting Panizzi, Senior, Van De Weyer, Lord Lansdowne, and three or f

We had a most agreeable breakfast; Macaulay doing, of course, pretty much all the talk, be Heads, Elwin (editor of the Quarterly), and Macaulay, so that, with the family, we had just ten, which seems to be the general number. Macaulay, of course, did the talking, and certainly he did it them some time, after which I made a visit to Macaulay, who lives near, and with whom I had a long a[1 more...]

ories enough are won to tide the present forms of our government over to another administration of its affairs, we shall go utterly to pieces now; chaos will come again now. But, suppose we fail of the victories, or, on the other hand, suppose we get them, and the dictatorship should be continued, in military forms, by the silent consent of a people too grateful for success and salvation, what then? Just now, men who hold the opinions referred to seem to have reached the point suggested by Macaulay, that there are times when liberty must be given up to save society. But are we called to this terribly stern sacrifice by the present state of things? . . . . To Sir Charles Lyell. Boston, March 31, 1863. my dear Lyell,—I have not yet finished your book about the antiquity of all of us, but I cannot longer delay thanking you for it.
