From his father. Orbe, February 23, 1829. . . . It was not without deep emotion that we read your letter of the 14th, and I easily understand that, anticipating its effect upon us all, you have deferred writing as long as possible. Yet you were wrong in so doing; hry sincere attachment. B. G. Cuvier. At last comes the moment, so long anticipated, when the young naturalist's first book is in the hands of his parents.

One of my pleasantest days in Switzerland was that passed at Yverdon. In the morning I drove out to see the Gasparins.

I could not resist; so up the lovely valley we drove, and passed the old chateau of the Reine Berthe, one of my favorite heroines, but, what was far more to me, passed the little town of Orbe. There it stands, with its old church tower and the trees on the terrace, just as when you played under them as a boy. It was very, very pleasant to behold. . . .
