In 1860 the sky was not so grey or so low; and the Poèmes Antiques of Leconte de Lisle, the Études d'histoire religieuse of Renan, and the Essais de Critique of Taine, are possibly not unworthy to be placed in parallel or comparison with the first writings of Flaubert.

The "Mary Somerville" sailed, but was never heard of again; it was supposed she had foundered during a typhoon in the China sea.
