On the 12th, the Duc d'Angouleme arrived: two proclamations calling the citizens to arms signalised his presence.
M. de Cosnac, Archbishop of Aix, was at a very advanced age when he learnt that Saint Francois de Sales had been canonized. "What!" cried he, "M. de Geneve, my old friend? I am delighted at his good fortune; he was a gallant man, an amiable man, and an honest man, too, although he would sometimes cheat at piquet, at which we have often played together."

Professor Pictet read a paper on these glacières before the Société Helvétique des Sciences Naturelles at Berne, in 1822, which is to be found in the Bibl. Universelle de Genève. M.

In half an hour we were at home, in the mansion of Monsieur Fazy. Geneve, Monday, June 27. The day dawned clear over this palace of enchantment.
He stood before a table on which old newspapers were scattered, one of which he had taken up and, with his eye-glass on his nose, was holding out at arm's-length. It was that honourable but extremely diminutive sheet, the Journal de Geneve, a newspaper of about the size of a pocket-handkerchief.
I am quite ready to admit his extreme folly in some things, but that is nothing to the present purpose. GENEVA, 6th April, 1834. I am desired by Professor Prevost to inform you that you were elected an honorary member of the Société de Physique et d'Histoire Naturelle de Genève on the 3rd April, and that a diploma will be forwarded to you by the earliest opportunity.
"What hotel you going to stop at?" "Hôtel de l'Écu de Génève." "Don't you do it! No Americans there! You stop at one of those big hotels over the bridge they're packed full of Americans."
