"Still, men of great intelligence, such as Plutarch, Swedenborg, Bernardin de St. Pierre, and others have, if I mistake not, pronounced in the affirmative.
She looked at him with a mocking smile, wondering what superior men read. Not only had he not read Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's romance, nor any others, but he had never been in love.

Leisure must be had for light reading, and even more for love, for they require a liberty of mind and an independence of life that he had not.
"I don't know; unless it be its extreme quiet, or some early association." "And who is your nearest neighbour?" "Mr. Aubrey, the curate. It is so unlucky, he is gone from home for a short time. You can't think how kind and pleasant he is, the most amiable old man in the world; just such a man as Bernardin St. Pierre would have loved to describe."
The verdict of the most illustrious French literary man of the age which has just closed, upon this most remarkable writer of the age now passing, is every way interesting, and we translate it for the International from the columns of La Presse, as follows: Madame Sand possesses talents of the first order.
