His article on Prescott's Ferdinand and Isabella is in that Review for J met me, and at once suggested to him that now was a fair occasion for the Quarterly Review, in an article on Prescott, to make the amende honorable to America for itgs; and carefully told me that he wrote the articles on Puckler Muskau, Quarterly Review, July, 1837, Vol. LIX. pp. 134-164,—Semilasso in Africa.

The Marquis of Wellesley wrote a Latin one, of which he has promised to give me a copy; it is not, however, lapidary, being too long. Brougham told me that his own Greek epigram was the worst of all. You will see an allusion to this story in a note in the last Quarterly Review, to which I first called Chantrey's attention. I have spoken of Courtenay as the great gastronomer; I shall not neglect to add that he is as good a scholar as epicure.

I go to Naples as fast as I can go. You will next hear from me lapped in soft Parthenope; and perhaps I may encounter even the

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.
