Against this alternative what means are proposed? M. de Sismondi, like all men of patriarchal ideas, would like the division of labor, with machinery and manufactures, to be abandoned, and each family to return to the system of primitive indivision, that is, to EACH ONE BY HIMSELF, EACH ONE FOR HIMSELF, in the most literal meaning of the words. That would be to retrograde; it is impossible.
Such was the calm, philosophical gayety with which this long-suffering, heroic man and Christian contemplated his approaching death; and, in the words of Sismondi, it may be safely asserted that this unaffected fortitude was characteristic of the soldier who fought so valiantly at Lepanto, and who so firmly supported his five years' captivity in Algiers. Cervantes died at Madrid in 1616.
Long ago, under Louis the Fourteenth, it became a favorite; but it has not escaped the judgment of history. The bombardment of Luxembourg in 1683 drew from Sismondi, always humane and refined, words applicable to recent events. No lapse of time can avert the inexorable law. Macbeth saw it in his terrible imaginings, when he said,
Contemporary historians put the army of Otho at one hundred thousand, and that of Philip Augustus at from fifty to sixty thousand men; but amongst modern historians one of the most eminent, M. Sismondi, reduces them both to some fifteen or twenty thousand. One would say that the reduction is as excessive as the original estimate.
It lived there, it was part of a whole, and it contributed to give unity to the impression produced by the whole. Cf. J. T. Ennett's "Second Essay," p. 36. Sismondi, iv. 172; xvi. 356. The great canal, Naviglio Grande, which brings the water from the Tessino, was begun in 1179, i.e. after the conquest of independence, and it was ended in the thirteenth century.
"Yesterday evening the illusion of Coppet was complete. I had been with Madame de Staël to call on Madame Rilliet, who is so charming at her own fireside. On my return I played chess with Sismondi. Madame de Staël, Mlle. Randall, and Mlle. Jenner sat on the sofa chatting with Bonstetten and young Barante. We were as we had always been as we were in the days that I shall never cease regretting."
No, no, no, a thousand times no: when M. Blanc cannot solve a difficulty, he eliminates it. Regarding population, he says: As only poverty is prolific, and as the social workshop will cause poverty to disappear, there is no reason for giving it any thought. In vain does M. de Sismondi, supported by universal experience, cry out to him: We have no confidence in those who exercise delegated powers.

The theory of the new school was, that a work should be judged by itself alone or by the author's ideal. MISCELLANEOUS. Among earlier writers of the nineteenth century are Sismondi, whose "Literature of Southern Europe" remains without a rival, the work of Ginguene on "Italian Literature," and of Renouard on "Provencal Poetry."
It is not necessary to follow in detail the conflict of the Lombard burghs with Frederick, so enthusiastically described by their historian, Sismondi, It is enough for our present purpose to remember that in the course of that contention both leagues made common cause against the Emperor, drew the Pope Alexander III. into their quarrel, and at last in 1183, after the victory of Legnano had convinced Frederick of his weakness, extorted by the Peace of Constance privileges whereby their autonomy was amply guaranteed and recognized.
