Thus, as we have already said, among the early Romans the family was practically a religious institution with ancestor worship as its constitutive principle. It is supposed by de Coulanges that in the earliest times the dead ancestors were buried beneath the hearth.
M. de Lauzun marries on Sunday, at the Louvre, whom now? I give you three guesses, six, a hundred. Madame de Coulanges says, 'It is not hard to guess; it is Madame de la Vallière. Not at all, Madame! 'Mlle. de Retz? Not a bit; you are a mere provincial. 'How absurd! you say; 'it is Mlle. Colbert. Not that, either. 'Then, of course, it is Mlle. de Créqui. Not right yet. Must I tell you, then?
In the same work, Part II, chapters i and ii, the author treats of religious or sub-religious ideas as affecting conduct. Compare Westermarck, op. cit., chapter xl. See, also, The Ancient City, by Fustel de Coulanges. In the last chapter referred to, animals, drunkards, idiots, the insane, etc., come on the stage. The chapter is full of curious information.
Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, who became Madame de Sévigné, was born at Paris on February 6, 1626. Her father and mother died during her childhood and Marie was left to the care of her uncle, priest of Coulanges; she received an admirable education and became a great lover of history and of classical literature.
"Why do you say that?" asked the Count de Coulanges. "Because I see Him plainly." "I can see Him too," said Clerambault. "Him? Whom do you mean?" asked Doctor Verrier. But before the answer could come, they all knew the word that would be said: "He who bears the light, the God who will conquer...." "Are you waiting for a God?" said the old professor. "Do you believe in miracles?"
Mad. de Coulanges repeated, "Ay, the Princess Louisa of France;" and then, well satisfied, returned to finish her toilette. "You have an excellent memory, Mlle. de Coulanges," said Mrs. Somers, looking with an air of pique at Emilie. "I really am rejoiced to see you so much yourself again I thought you were seriously hurt." "I told you that I was not," said Emilie, forcing a smile.
"And with generous persons!" cried Emilie; "and a more generous person than Mrs. Somers, I am sure, cannot exist." "And then," continued Mad. de Coulanges, "like all these rich English, she can afford to be generous. I am persuaded that this Mrs. Somers is as rich as a Russian princess; yes, as rich as the Russian princess with the superb diadem of diamonds. You remember her at Paris?"
God was like old Doctor de Coulanges, who used to visit the house, and talk in a voice like a low roll of thunder.... At a later day, when Chita had been told that God was "everywhere at the same time " without and within, beneath and above all things, this idea became somewhat changed.
Somers shook her head, and replied, "All this is just a proof to me of what I asserted, Lady Littleton and what I must irrevocably assert that Mlle. de Coulanges has no soul. You are a new acquaintance, and I am an old friend. She exerts herself to please you; she does not care what I think or what I feel about the matter. Now this is just what I call having no soul." "My dear Mrs.
Somers spoke; and the Comtesse de Coulanges accepted of the invitation, resolving, however, not to prolong her stay, if affairs in her own country should not take a favourable turn.
