Lettres de Silvio Pellico, recueillies et mises en ordre, par M. GUILLAUME STEFANI. Traduites et précédées d'une Introduction, par M. ANTOINE DE LATOUR. Paris: 1857. pp. liii, 493. 8 vo. Silvio Pellico is one of the most touching ghosts that glide through the chambers of the memory. This volume will increase his pure fame. It will be read with painful interest.
Monsieur Favart turned round and saw the Pole making himself as small as possible behind the goodly proportions of Madame Beavor. "What name does that gentleman go by?" "So vo lofski, the heroic Pole," cried Madame Beavor, with sundry misgivings at the unexpected cowardice of so great a patriot. "Hein! take care of yourselves, ladies. I have nothing against that person this time.
The second is a kind of 'pidgin English, spoken amongst themselves, like Bolognese or Venetians when they have some reason for not talking Italian. One of the Gospels was printed in it; I need hardly say with what effect. The first verse runs, 'Lo vo famili va Jesus Christus, pikien.

This magnificent gift, which will be followed by several others, is composed of 71 vols. folio, and 168 vols. 8 vo.
"Giovanottin, che te ne vai di fuora, Stattene allegro, e così vo' far io. Se ti trovassi qualche dama nuova, L'ha da saper che tua dama son io." So sang she, innocently enough, whose sweethearting went no farther than her artless lips. There was not a spice of mischief in the girl.
When his pain was acute he could not refrain from groaning, and at such times, Lady Burton, kneeling by his bedside, use to say "Offer it up, offer it up" meaning that prayer alone would bring relief. To Mr. Payne, 14th March 1888, Burton writes, "I have been moving since yours of March 5th reached me, and unable to answer you.... Delighted to hear that in spite of cramp, Vo.
