all We are all quite well; but I am grievously pushed for time. G. T. To William H. Prescott, Boston. Paris, March 5, 1838. my dear William,—I send you a single line by this packet, to let you know that three days ago I received from Bentley the six copies of your Ferdinand and Isabella. One I sent instantly to Julius, Dr. Julius, of Hamburg, a scholar and philanthropist, had been in the United States in 1834-35. by Treuttel and Wurtz, his booksellers here, as he desired; one to Von Raumer by a similar conveyance, with a request to him to review it; one to Guizot, whose acknowledgment I received the same evening, at de Broglie's, with much admiration of a few pages he had read, and followed by a note this morning, which I will keep for you; one to Count Circourt, who will write a review of it, and of whom Thierry said to me the other night, If Circourt would but choose some obscure portion of history, between A. D. 500 and 1600, and write upon it, he would leave us all behi

ulties seem as active, and his pursuit of knowledge as eager as ever; while, at the same time, his benevolence seems to grow with his years. and the entertainment of a great Court dinner at Potsdam, on occasion of the arrival of the Grand Duke of Baden for his marriage with a princess of Prussia. This was Mr. Ticknor's only opportunity for conversation with the then reigning sovereign, Frederic William IV., whose varied accomplishments and versatile talent made a strong impression on him. Von Raumer and Count Raczynski, among old acquaintances, and the younger Schadow, among new ones, added to the pleasures of Berlin. On finally leaving Dresden, September 25, Mr. and Mrs. Ticknor had further proof of the constancy of those who had formerly been kind to them, in the warm and earnest welcome given to the whole party at Tetschen, where they stopped a few hours to see Count Thun and his daughters. See Vol. I. p. 505 et seq. Old memories were recalled,—some sadly and tenderly, for t

f boots; I had never paid a penny to go to the play or to see a sight, but I owned above six hundred volumes of good books, well bound. To Hon. Edward Twisleton. Boston, January 18, 1859. my dear Twisleton,—I thank you for the correction you have taken the pains to send me of an error in my History of Spanish Literature, which I immediately entered in the margin of the copy from which I intend speedily to reprint it. I only wish my other friends would be equally observant and kind. Von Raumer sent me one correction much like yours,--telling me that Ferdinand, whom —in note 10 to Chapter XI. of the First Part—I had called father of John I. of Portugal, was, in fact, his half-brother. But this is all, and I mention it because it is so, as well as from its odd similarity to the one you have suggested. Even in the notes to the German and Spanish translations few mistakes have been pointed out. Now all this would be very consoling,—even very gratifying,—if it were not for one

ap XXIV} which had agitated the civilized world for centuries. In France, Fleury, like Walpole, desiring to adhere to 1740 Aug. 11. the policy of peace, was, like Walpole, overruled by the selfishness of his rivals. He looked anxiously upon Von Raumer's Friedrich II. u. seine zeit. 26 the commotions in Europe, and saw no way of escape. It appeared to him as if the end of the world was at hand; and it was so with regard to the world of feudalism and Catholic legitimacy. He expressed his aversion to all wars; and when the king of Spain— Raumer 28. whom natural melancholy, irritated by ill health and losses, prompted to abdicate the throne—obtained of Louis XV., under his own hand, a promise of fifty ships of the line, the prime minister explained his purposes:—I do not propose to begin a war with England, or to seize or to annoy one British ship, or to take one foot of land possessed by England in any part of the world. Yet I must prevent England from accomplishing its great pu<

ness to the interests of their country, as indifference to every thing but the possession of place, they instructed Sir Hanbury Williams, the new envoy at St. Petersburg, a diplomatist boastful of his powers of observation, and yet credulous and easily deceived, to introduce Russia as supervisor chap.

Von Raumer's Beytrage, II. 286. by the British ministry to the British ambassador of that day, seize the opportunity to convince the Russians, that they will remain only an Asiatic power, if they allow the king of Prussia to carry through his plans of aggrandizement; and full authority was given to effect an alliance with Russia to overawe Prussia, and control the politics of Germany. Yet at that time Frederic manifested no purpose of making conquests. In this manner a treaty was concluded by whi

Peter the Third, who cherished an unbounded admiration and sincere friendship for Frederic, the British minister at St. Petersburg was provided with a credit of one hundred thousand pounds to be used as bribes, Bute to Keith, 6. Feb. 1762, in Raumer, II. 492. There is a copy of the letter among the Mitchell Papers in the British Museum. and was instructed by Bute to moderate the excessive friendship of the emperor for Frederic; the strength of that friendship was a source of anxiety.

At the same time an attempt was made to induce parliament to abandon the Prussian alliance; and early in February, Bedford, though a member of the chap.

In the debate Bute did but assume an appearance of opposition, and the question was only evaded and postponed. It was evidently the royal wish to compel Frederic to the hard necessity o
