Cher Monsieur Reeve, J'etais bien sur de vous faire plaisir en vous envoyant les discours prononces sur la tombe de M. Mignet. Celui de M. Martha est le plus remarquable; M. Jules Simon a tres bien parle aussi; mais on peut trouver cependant que M. Martha l'emporte. Je suis tres sensible a votre amicale invitation, et je serai heureux de visiter cet ete votre ermitage de Foxholes.

A whole millennium of idylls sleeps in my heart; I am a pseudo-skeptic, a pseudo-scoffer. "Borne dans sa nature, infini dans ses voeux, L'homme est un dieu tombe qui se souvient des cieux."
Read, if thou-canst, whom envious Death hath plast Within this monument; Shakespeare with whome Quick nature dide: whose name doth deck ys tombe, Far more than cost, sith all yt he hath writt, Leaves living art but page to serve his witt."

By a curious coincidence, M. de Chateaubriand and M. de Villele, two inveterate adversaries, were one in the column on the right, the other in that on the left, and the herald-at-arms of the order called both at once to the foot of the throne. Listen to the author of the Memoires d'Outre Tombe: "I found myself kneeling at the feet of the King at the moment that M. de Villdle was taking the oath.
George Vavasor was to get present moneys, but, if it could be so arranged from John Grey's stores rather than from those belonging to Alice. Mr Tombe could probably arrange that with Mr Vavasor's lawyer, who would no doubt be able to make difficulty as to raising ready money. Mr Tombe would be able to raise ready money without difficulty.
In this council the "chief matron" of the family, a noble dame whose position and right were well defined, had the deciding voice. Des que l'arbre est tombe, il fault, disent ils, le relever.

Curiously uninteresting, considering 'the man and the hour. He writes of his youth with a grey goose quill; the paper is all wrinkled. And then he is not frank; he must have more to tell than he tells. I looked for a more intense and sincere book outre tombe certainly. I am busy about my new edition, that is all at present, but some things are written. Good of Mr.
Satire, scandal, and gossip, now hand-in-hand the three new graces: all on the same elevated rank three, formerly considered as so different, and the last left to our inferior sex, but now, surely, to be a male gossip is no reproach."
