ns as I commonly have met there, I found Tommaseo, the author of the Duca d'atene. He is quite young still, and seemed full of feeling and talent. I talked with him a good deal, and, among other things, he told me he was employed on a work on the Philosophy of History. I should not have thought his talent lay that way, for the Duca d'atene is a picturesque book, showing history through the imagination; but we shall see. Tommaseo was associated with Manin in the revolution at Venice, in 1848. March 10.—I made some visits of ceremony to take leave, and in the evening went to Mad. de Pastoret's, whom I found almost alone, and had some very agreeable talk with her. She is the only true representative I know of the old monarchy, and would be a most respectable one of any period of any nation's history. . . . . Our friends the Arconatis are come to Paris, and it gave us great pleasure to-day to have a visit from them and Count Arrivabene. Mad. Arconati is certainly one of the

D. 500 and 1600, and write upon it, he would leave us all behind; one to Fauriel, the very best scholar in Spanish literature and Spanish history alive, as I believe, and one of the ablest men, as a general scholar, I know of anywhere, whom I have also asked to notice it, or cause it to be noticed under his superintendence; and the other copy, keeping for myself, I have lent to Walsh.

dsummer, so as to get a good passage, and see you all the sooner. Love to all We are all quite well; but I am grievously pushed for time. G. T. To William H. Prescott, Boston. Paris, March 5, 1838. my dear William,—I send you a single line by this packet, to let you know that three days ago I received from Bentley the six copies of your Ferdinand and Isabella. One I sent instantly to Julius, Dr. Julius, of Hamburg, a scholar and philanthropist, had been in the United States in 1834-35. by Treuttel and Wurtz, his booksellers here, as he desired; one to Von Raumer by a similar conveyance, with a request to him to review it; one to Guizot, whose acknowledgment I received the same evening, at de Broglie's, with much admiration of a few pages he had read, and followed by a note this morning, which I will keep for you; one to Count Circourt, who will write a review of it, and of whom Thierry said to me the other night, If Circourt would but choose some obscure portion of history

in phraseology, was particularly beautiful. Her appearance denotes feeble health, and I am told that she works too hard, writing much for the periodicals to earn a subsistence . . . . January 30.—. . . . The beginning of the evening I spent at Thierry's. There was no company, and I had a great deal of pleasant talk with him about his occupations, and his projected history of the Merovingians; a prodigious work for one broken down with such calamities as he is. Recits des Temps Merovingiens, 1840; a charming work, made directly from the early chronicles. Afterwards I went to Guizot's, and found a plenty of deputies, the Greek Ambassador, in his costume, and the Baron de Barante, with his beautiful wife, now spending the winter in Paris, on leave of absence from St. Petersburg, where he is French Ambassador. See Vol. I. p. 256. He is much altered since I knew him before; but still looks well, and talks as becomes the author of the History of the Dukes of Burgundy. As I arrived lat

e was not at home, but had left word for us to come to see her at her daughter's. March 14.—More bidding good by; sad work! The saddest was with the de Broglies . . . . . We stayed, of course, only a short time, and when we came away, Mad. de Broglie followed us to the head of the stairs, and saying to me, Nous sommes amis depuis vingt ans, embraced me after the French fashion, adding, Si je ne vous revois pas dans ce monde, je vous reverrai en ciel. Mad. de Broglie died suddenly in September following, of brain fever. M. Guizot, when mentioning her death, calls her l'une des plus nobles, des plus rares, et des plus charmantes creatures que j'ai vu apparaitre en ce monde, et de qui je dirai ce que Saint Simon dit du Duc de Bourgogne, en deplorant sa perte, Plaise à la misericorde de Dieu que je la voie éternellement, ou sa boute sans doute l'a mise.

e, white-headed old Duke, of the time and with the manners and dress of the reign of Louis XVI.; Count Circourt; the Baron d'eckstein; Count Bastard, etc. The last person has been employed for twenty years—with the assistance of the successive governments that have prevailed in France —in collecting from manuscript miniatures the materials for a history of painting, from the fall of the art in the fourth century to its entire restoration under Raffaelle. The first numbers will come out in May next; there will be forty-two in all, and the average cost of each copy of each number will be eleven hundred francs. He prints, and illuminates, and paints sixty copies for the government and nine for himself; and though the government allows him two millions of francs, yet, like a true Carlist as he is, he complains that it should come through the budget, and be distributed through seven years, instead of being given all at once, and without condition. He interested me very much for an ho

d, and the whole number is to be forty-two; and each contains five or six plates . . . . . I must needs say, I never thought art could go so far. The imitation was absolute, and when an old Missal was put beside its copy, it seemed hardly possible to distinguish. This great undertaking remained incomplete. Twenty numbers were published, at the price of 1,800 francs each; but in the later ones the work was negligent, and, government aid being withdrawn, the enterprise dropped. . . . . March 9.—. . . . We made a hard forenoon's work of it this morning, in the Annual Exhibition of living artists; in the new collection of pictures the King has just caused to be brought from Spain; and in the collection of original drawings by the old masters. . . . . In the evening I went to Mad. Mojon's, where, besides such persons as I commonly have met there, I found Tommaseo, the author of the Duca d'atene.

or psalmsinging, Jacky, or Johnny. Doodle-sack means bag-pipe. Johnny would refer to John Bull; and if doodlen be made in the present tense, Yankee-doodle would be Johnny that sings Psalms. Hart-kee, my little dear heart, and hundreds of other diminutives, both in endearment and in ridicule, are illustrations of the formation of the word. It amused me not a little, and seems probable enough as an etymology; better, certainly, than to bring it, with Noah Webster, from the Persian. January 5.—We went last evening to Miss Clarke's, where there was rather more of a party than usual, collected by formal invitation. Fauriel was there, of course, and Mohl; but there was, also, a number of ladies, among whom were Mad. Tastu, the well-known authoress; the Princess Belgiojoso,—the well-known lady of fashion, and one of the most striking and distinguees persons in Parisian society; the Countess de Roy, who also figures in the saloons, etc. I met, too, several men of note, whom I was
