'And the dopacco? said Darco lazily eh? 'The true believer smokes it in Paradise, said Paul; and Darco translated the saying to the host, who bowed and smiled.

'It was no mere gomparison of names to me. I know your sdyle.
In the Revue he had, among other novels, brought out the beginning of "L'Histoire des Treize," and the parsimonious shareholders now had the mortification of seeing the great man carry his wares to L'Europe Litteraire; while the Revue de Paris, in consequence of his desertion, declined in popularity.
It has been called "a work no one would wish to have written, yet which is read by all with exquisite pleasure." Nothing could be truer. [Footnote C: Chateaubriand et son Groupe Littéraire sous l'Empire. Cours professé
The father died of rage when Miromesnil, Keeper of the Seals, suppressed his journal. The other, irritated by the injustices of which his father had been the victim, had at first ardently embraced the revolutionary doctrines. Instead of the "Annee Litteraire," strangled to death in 1775, he created the "Orateur du Peuple," in 1789.
Paris, 1788, 8vo.. The character of Dolomieu sufficiently points out the nature and value of this work. A Supplement was published the same year, under the title of Mémoire sur les Isles Ponces.

Violently denounced by M. Capo de Feuillide, of the Europe littéraire, it was warmly defended by M. Gustave Planche, in the Revue des Deux Mondes.

We shall hear more of the benefit of clergy; for after this the reader will not be surprised to meet with thieves in the shape of tonsured clerks, or even priests and monks. Monstrelet: PANTHEON LITTERAIRE, p. 26. To a knot of such learned pilferers our poet certainly belonged; and by turning over a few more of M. Longnon's negatives, we shall get a clear idea of their character and doings.
Parliamentary assemblies, sufficiently excited and hypnotised, offer the same characteristics. They become an unstable flock, obedient to every impulsion. The following description of the Assembly of 1848 is due to M. Spuller, a parliamentarian whose faith in democracy is above suspicion. I reproduce it from the Revue litteraire, and it is thoroughly typical.
A sinister dog, in all likelihood, but with a look in his eye, and the loose flexile mouth that goes with wit and an overweening sensual temperament. Certainly the sorriest figure on the rolls of fame. Paris: H. Menu. "Bourgeois de Paris," ed. Panthéon, pp. 688, 689. "Bourgeois," pp. 627, 636, and 725. "Chronique Scandaleuse," ed. Panthéon, p. 237. Monstrelet: "Panthéon Littéraire," p. 26.
He became professor at the College de France and the Ecole Normale and was appointed Senator in 1865. A course of lectures given at Lausanne in 1837 resulted in his great "Histoire de Port-Royal" and another given at Liege in his "Chateaubriand et son groupe litteraire."
