The prince is not necessarily cosmopolitan; the historian and antiquarian are. Hadrian was an early Quinet, an earlier Champollion; always the thinker, sometimes the cook.
'Can you give me no clue that I may save her from the wolf that may be already on her track? Cousin, if you would do this, I would bless you for ever. 'Alas! I would if I could! It is true, cousin, I have no heart to deceive you any longer. But it is to Madame de Quinet that you must apply, and if my brother has though me worth pursuit, you may be in time!
Madame de Quinet, however, concluded that Eutacie had been known, or else that her jewels had betrayed her, and that the man must have been employed by her enemies.
Louis Blanc and Edgar Quinet arrived there, after years of absence, in the most unostentatious fashion, though they soon succumbed to the prevailing mania of inditing manifestoes and exhortations for the benefit of their fellow-countrymen. Victor Hugo's return was more theatrical. But now the Empire had fallen, and so Hugo returned in triumph to Paris.
"Salut, Milord de Quinet." "Bon soir, Chamilly," replied he, soberly. "Aha, thou melancholy friend, the liver again, eh?". We were strolling along the half illuminated Grosvenor street under the elms.
"We had once, in America a colony of the name," replied the statesman, reflecting. "France has it still. It is a colony of hearts!" Quinet awakened interest; was inquired into and drawn out, and we were invited to a dozen of the most interesting salons of the capital. O but those Parisians are clever!

Good old Father St. Esprit oldest and humblest of the Order in the College who was his friend, and whom everybody, and especially Quinet, venerated, took a private word with him before he departed from that institution.
"Do with all diligence what you have to do; reconcile yourself with the law of the universe; think of your duty; prepare yourself for departure:" such is the cry of conscience and of reason. May 3, 1860. Edgar Quinet has attempted everything: he has aimed at nothing but the greatest things; he is rich in ideas, a master of splendid imagery, serious, enthusiastic, courageous, a noble writer.
Madame de Quinet smiled, but she was a woman of resources. 'See, my friend, she said, 'the pursuivant of the consuls here has the rolls of the herald's visitations throughout the kingdom.
Michelet, Quinet, Nodier, Victor Hugo, so much influenced by German literature, owe their knowledge of it mainly to her. Too much credit may be given her when it is stated that all Mignons, Marguerites, Mephistopheles, etc., proceeded indirectly from her work, as well as nearly all descriptions of travels. Lamartine undoubtedly used her De l'Allemagne and her Des Passions freely.
