I have already mentioned to you that General A y had put into my hand L'Histoire du Canal du Midi, written by himself. From a perusal of this interesting work, it appears that one of his ancestors was the first who conceived the idea of that canal, which was not only planned by him, but entirely completed under his immediate direction.
In the introduction to his History of France, Michelet says: "J'ai passe a cote du monde, et j'ai pris l'histoire pour la vie." That, as I can see now, was my true ideal; through all my battlings and miseries I have always lived more in the past than in the present.
Comte, Cours de philosophie positive, vi. 321 sqq.; Buchez, Introduction a la science de l'histoire, i. 99 sqq. More recently M. Jules Delvaille has attempted to trace its history fully, down to the end of the eighteenth century. His Histoire de l'idee de progres is planned on a large scale; he is erudite and has read extensively. But his treatment is lacking in the power of discrimination.
Those in the Louvre are fourteen feet high; the tallest pair in the British Museum are about the same. Art in Ancient Egypt, vol. ii. pt. ii. p. 92, fig. 70. On the subject of these winged bulls see Fr. LENORMANT, Les Origines de l'Histoire, vol. i. chap. 3. The bas-relief here reproduced comes from the palace of Assurbanipal at Kouyundjik.
In the same way he proposed in the Essay to trace "l'histoire de l'esprit humain," not the details of facts, and to show by what steps man advanced "from the barbarous rusticity" of the times of Charlemagne and his successors "to the politeness of our own."
Four years later Caussin de Perceval in his Essai sur l'histoire des Arabes, written quite independently of Weil, expresses the same idea in these words: "It would be an injustice to Mohammed to consider him as no more than a clever impostor, an ambitious man of genius; he was in the first place a man convinced of his vocation to deliver his nation from error and to regenerate it."
Lisez l'histoire De la rue de Quincampoix. But the person who had gained most by this affair is Dantin, who is horridly avaricious.
'Je n'ai pas besoin de rappeler a l'Academie quel role appartient a "l'editeur" dans les grandes revues anglaises, quelle part il prend au choix des sujets, a la redaction des articles, quelle autorite il exerce, ni de m'etendre sur l'histoire du plus ancien, je crois, des recueils periodiques, assurement un des plus importants.
Michell's son; which I did about the Old Swan, but did not think fit to go thither or see them. Thence by water to Redriffe, reading a new French book my Lord Bruncker did give me to-day, "L'Histoire Amoureuse des Gaules," These circulated in manuscript, and were printed at Liege in 1665. being a pretty libel against the amours of the Court of France.
At Pskov the cathedral was the bank for the fines, and from this fund money was taken for the wails. Sohm, Frankische Rechtsund Gerichtsverfassung, p. 23; also Nitzsch, Geschechte des deutschen Volkes, i. 78. See the excellent remarks on this subject in Augustin Thierry's Lettres sur l'histoire de France. 7th Letter.
