"L'Esclave de Camoens" appeared in Paris in 1843; "Stradella," rewritten as an opera, in Hamburg ; "L'Âme en peine," in Paris ; "Martha," in Vienna . The works of his later period, which never equalled his earlier ones in popularity, were "Die Grossfürstin" ; "Indra" ; "Rubezahl" ; "Hilda" ; "Der Müller von Meran" ; "La Veuve Grapin" ; "L'Ombre" ; "Naïda" ; "Il Flor d'Harlem" ; and "Enchanteresse" .

At the death of Louis XIV., Voltaire, an élève of the Jesuits, was appropriately coming into notice.

We have invited him frequently, and when we are at Petit Val he comes often out to see us, and luxuriates in the repose and comfort of our life here.

She rooted up some charity as an excuse for giving a theatrical performance, and obtained the theater of the Conservatoire and the promise of the Empress's presence. She chose two plays, one of Musset and the other, "l'Esclave," of Moliere and asked me to take part in this last one. "Oh," I said, "I cannot appear in a French play; I would not dare to."
