Traité de l'Hérédité, ii. 489; Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication, i. 469. If injuries are inherited, why has the repeated rupture of the hymen produced no inherited effect? Compare the three cases of crooked fingers given in Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication, ii. 55, 240. Ibid., i. 460.
In the future, without doubt, we shall learn to know more precisely a process which has been so supremely important in the life of man and of his ancestors. See, e.g., Art. "Erection," by Retterer, in Richet's Dictionnaire de Physiologie, vol. v. Guibaut, Traité Clinique des Maladies des Femmes, p. 242.
Reicha, Berlioz's first teacher, had the original idea of playing drum taps in chords of three or four beats. In order to try out this effect, he composed a choral piece, L'Harmonie des Sphères, which was published in connection with his Traité d'Harmonie. But Reicha's genius did not suffice for this task. He was a good musician, but no more than that.
Of these, his ‘Traité du Triangle Arithmétique,’ his ‘Tractatus de Numericis Ordinibus,’ and his ‘Problemata de Cycloide,’ are the chief.
The critics entirely neglected Berlioz's opinion, for, after opposing Meyerbeer for a long time, he admitted him among the gods and in his Traité d'Instrumentation awarded him the crown of immortality. Parenthetically, if there is a surprising page in the history of music it is the persistent affectation of classing Berlioz and Wagner together.
L'auteur veut qu'on ne fasse aucun traité d'alliance ni avec ce roi ni même avec l'empereur Grec; et, pour mieux motiver sont assertion, il rapporte quelques détails sur le personnel de ces princes, et principalement sur le premier, qu'il dit être un usurpateur.
The Traité de Legislation wound up with what was to me a most impressive picture of human life as it would be made by such opinions and such laws as were recommended in the treatise.
The ballades of olden times used to conclude with an envoi addressed to some powerful person and invariably beginning with King, Queen, Prince or Princess. But the poet was occasionally at a loss, for, as Theodore de Banville observes in his Petit traité de Poésie Française, "everybody has not a prince handy to whom to dedicate his ballade."
With these cessions were included all adjacent islands, and all islands held by the English king at that time, so that the Channel islands were by implication recognised as English. On the importance of this, see the paper of MM. Petit-Dutaillis and P. Collier, La Diplomatie française et le Traité de Brétigny in Le Moyen Age, 2e serie, tome i. , pp. 1-35.
