Sainte-Beuve, "Nouveaux Lundis," August 8th, 1864. "Histoire de Marie Antoinette," par E. and J. de Goncourt, p. 11. How popular masked halls were in London at this time may be learned from Walpole's "Letters," and especially from a passage in which he gives an account of one given by "sixteen or eighteen young Lords" just two months before this ball at Vienna.
Besides much else in his many and many-sided volumes, there is to be read in them a full, spirited history of French literature. Our attempt to make M. Sainte-Beuve better known on this side the Atlantic we cannot more fitly conclude than with a sketch of him a literary sketch by himself. This we find in the fifth volume of the "Nouveaux Lundis," in a paper on Molière, published in July, 1863.
Reading, sifting, studying, analyzing his subject before composing one of his famous Lundis, a literary portrait which he aimed at making complete and final. One of these articles cost him as much labor as other authors give to the composition of a volume.
