And so as he, Pierre, before going off with Francois, approached Bertheroy to wish him good day, he pointedly remarked: "Guillaume will be very sorry that he was unable to hear you unfold those admirable ideas." The old /savant/ smiled. "Pooh!" said he; "just give him a summary of what I said. He will understand. He knows more about the matter than I do."

This summary, however, gives no adequate idea of the brightness of Professor Child's conversation. He was an animated talker, full of wit and originality. When the classes at Harvard were smaller than at present, he would arrange them in University Hall for declamation, so as to cover as much space as possible.

"Don't throw it down as if it were a hot chestnut," said her Oriana. "That's what they all do at first, but they come to it at last." Anne made no answer, but a pang smote her as she thought of her uncle's warnings.

The Antiquities comprised a summary of the whole of Jewish history, as well that which was set out in the books of the Bible as that which had taken place in the post-Biblical period down to his own day.
