Originally intended for a novelette, the opening chapters appear in the Revue under the modest heading, Consuelo, conte, the beginning was so successful that the author was urged to extend her plan beyond its first proposed limits.
The engagement had a double effect it at once put Asprey Chown into touch with everything that could be useful to him for the purposes of special booming, and it put Ozzie into touch with half the theatrical stars of London in an age when a first-rate heroine of revue was worth at least two duchesses and a Dame in the scale of social values.

* Revue Archéologique, xxix., p. 127. M. Edouard Naville found at Thebes many remains of the Punt sculptures. The Puntites appear with their aquiline features, their pointed beards, and their long hair; negroes also of black and brown varieties are represented adjoining the Puntites proper. There are wickerwork huts, and a figure of a large white dog with its ears hanging down.
What could a First Lord tell me about those Russian intrigues in Albania, or is it likely that a Home Secretary is aware of what is preparing in Montenegro? They get hold of some crotchet in the Revue des Deux Mondes, and assuming it all to be true, they ask defiantly, "How are you going to deal with that?

What is to be done in such a case? What is the duty of the Public Ministry? To read the whole romance? That is impossible.
For all these reasons, it seemed to me that The Dangerous Age was worthy to be presented to the public in a French translation. The Revue de Paris also thought it worthy to be published in its pages.
In addition to the daily papers, some people read the monthly periodicals big, thick volumes, containing several serious articles on historical and social subjects, sections of one or two novels, satirical sketches, and a long review of home and foreign politics on the model of those in the Revue des Deux Mondes.
Chopin's portrait by Ary Scheffer, his piano, and his Paris furniture perished, and his papers were believed to be among the lost.

Karlovicz was entrusted with this honour, and La Revue Musicale of Paris chosen as the medium.
