;Can you forgive a poor sick soul for not coming to you before�察�when you 

were all alone�察─�and begging me to come the next day at seven�察�to dine。 

There was   Lady Charlotte   and Lady  Stuart de   Rothesay�察�who   was   many 

years   ambassadress   at   Paris�察  �and   very   agreeable。         Then   there   was   Dr。 

Holland      and   Mr。    Stanley�察   �the  under´    Secretary     of   State�察 �etc。   In    the 

evening came quite an additional party�察�and I passed it most pleasantly。 。 。 。 

Your father writes that on Friday he dined at Thiers' with Mignet�察�Cousin�察�

Pontois�察  �and   Lord   Normanby。          He   says   such   a   dinner   is   ;unique   in   a 

man's life。; ;Mignet is delightful�察�frank�察�open�察�gay�察�full of intelligence�察�and 

of that grace which makes society charming。; 。 。 。 Your father to´ day gives 

me   some   account   of   Thiers。       He   is   now   fifty�此 �he   rises   at   five   o'clock 

every   morning�察  �toils   till   twelve�察  �breakfasts�察  �makes   researches�察  �and   then 

goes   to   the   Chambers。       In   the   evening   he   always   receives   his   friends 

except Wednesdays and Thursdays�察�when he attends his wife to the opera 

and to the Academie。

     LETTER�此                     �To Mr。 and Mrs。 I。P。D。 

        LONDON�察�January 28th�察�1848 



    My   dear   Uncle   and Aunt�此      �   。   。   Last   Monday   I   received   ��this�А  �note 

from George Sumner�察�which I thought might interest you�此               �My dear Mrs。 

Bancroft�此    �I hasten to congratulate you upon an event most honorable to 

Mr。    Bancroft    and  to  our   country。   The    highest   honor    which    can  be 

bestowed in France upon a foreigner has just been conferred on him。                He 

was chosen this afternoon a Corresponding Member of the Institute。                Five 

names were presented for the vacant chair of History。            Every vote but one 

was in favor of Mr。 Bancroft ��that one for Mr。 Grote of London�察�author of 

the 'History of Greece'��。      A gratifying fact in regard to this election is that 

it comes without the knowledge of Mr。 Bancroft�察�and without any of those 

preliminary   visits   on   his   part�察  �and   those   appeals   to   academicians   whose 

votes are desired�察�that are so common with candidates for vacancies at the 

Institute。    The   honor   acquires   double   value   for   being   unsought�察  �and   I 

have   heard   with   no   small   satisfaction   several   Members   of   the Academy 

contrast the modest reserve of Mr。 Bancroft with the restless manoeuvres 

to   which   they  have   been   accustomed。    Prescott�察  �you   know�察  �is   already   a 

member�察�and I think America may be satisfied with two out of seven of a 

class of History which is selected from the world。;

                       February 24�察�1848 



    My dear Brother�此       � 。 。 Great excitement exists in London to´day at the 

reception   of   the   news   from   France。  Guizot   is   overthrown�察  �and   Count 

Mole is made Prime Minister。          The National Guards have sided with the 

people�察�and would not fire upon them�察�and that secret of the weakness of 

the army being revealed�察�I do not see why the Liberal party cannot obtain 

all they want in the end。       Louis Philippe has sacrificed the happiness of 

France     for  the  advancement      of   his  own    family�察  �but  nations   in  the 

nineteenth ��century�А�have learned that they were not made to be the slaves 

of   a   dynasty。  Mr。   Bancroft   dines   with   the   French   Minister   to´day�察  �not 

with   a   party�察  �but   quite   EN   FAMILLE�察  �and   he   will   learn   there   what   the 

hopes and fears of the Government are。 

       February 25th 

       The   news   this   morning   is   only   from   Amiens�察  �which   has   risen   in 

support of France。       The railways are torn up all round Paris�察�to prevent 

the passage of troops�察�and the roads and barriers are all in possession of 

the people。     All France will follow the lead of Paris�察�and what will be the 

result Heaven only knows。

                       February 26�察�1848 



    My   dear   Uncle�此     �   。   。   On   Thursday   Mr。   Bancroft   dined   with   Count 

Jarnac�察�the Minister in the Duc de Broglie's absence�察�and he little dreamed 

of   the   blow   awaiting   him。   The   fortifications   and   the   army   seemed   to 

make the King quite secure。          On Friday Mr。 Bancroft went to dine with 

Kenyon�察�and I drove there with him for a little air。 On my return Cates�察�the 

butler�察�saluted me with the wondrous news of the deposition and flight of 

the   royal   family�察  �which   Mr。   Brodhead   had   rushed   up   from   his   club   to 

impart   to   us。  I   was   engaged   to   a   little   party   at   Mr。   Hallam's�察  �where   I 

found everybody in great excitement。 

       Sunday Noon 

       To´day   we   were   to   have   dined   with   Baron   de   Rothschild�察  �but   this 

morning I got a note from the beautiful baroness�察�saying that her sister´in´ 

law and her mother with three children�察�had just arrived from Paris at her 

house   in   the   greatest   distress�察  �without   a   change   of   clothes�察  �and   in   deep 

anxiety about the Baron�察�who had stayed behind。 

     Our colleagues all look bewildered and perplexed beyond measure。 。 。 。 

The English aristocracy have no love for Louis Philippe�察�but much less for 

a republic�察�so near at hand�察�and everybody seemed perplexed and uneasy。 

       Tuesday 

       On Sunday the Duc de Nemours arrived at the French Embassy�察�and 

Monday the poor Duchess de Montpensier�察�the innocent cause of all the 

trouble。    No one knows where the Duchess de Nemours   and her   young 

children    are�察 �and   the  King    and  Queen     are  entirely  missing。    At    one 

moment it is reported that he is drowned�察�and then�察�again�察�at Brussels。 

       Wednesday 

       To´day the French Embassy have received despatches announcing the 

new     government�察    �and   Count    Jarnac   has  immediately      resigned。    This 

made     it  impossible    for   the  Duc    de   Nemours      and   the  Duchess     de 

Montpensier to remain at the Embassy�察�and they fell by inheritance to Mr。

Van de Weyer�察�whose Queen is Louis Philippe's daughter。              The Queen has 

taken Louis Philippe's daughter�察�Princess Clementine�察�who married Prince 

Auguste de Saxe´Coburg to the Palace�察�but for State Policy's sake she can 

do nothing about the others。        Mr。 Van de Weyer offered Mr。 Bates's place 

of East Sheen�察�which was most gratefully accepted。 

       Friday 

       This  morning     came   Thackeray�察    �who   is  the  soul  of  PUNCH�察     �and

       Saturday 

       The King has arrived。       What a crossing of the Channel�察�pea´jacket�察�

woollen     comforter�察   �and   all�  �The    flight  is  a  perfect  comedy�察   �and   if 

PUNCH had tried to invent anything more ludicrous�察�it would have failed。 

Panic�察�despotism�察�and cowardice。 

     These things are much more exciting here than across the water。               We 

are so near the scene of action and everybody has a more personal interest 

here in all these matters。      The whole week has been like a long play�察�and 

now�察�on Saturday night�察�I want nothing but repose。 What a dream it must 

be to the chief actors�      �The Queen�察�who is always good and noble�察�was 

averse to such ignominious flight�察�she preferred staying and taking what 

came�察  �and   if   Madam  Adelaide   had   lived�察  �they   would   never   have   made 

such a ��word undecipherable�А�figure。          Her pride and courage would have 

inspired    them。     With     her  seemed     to   fly  Louis   Philippe's    star�察 �as 

Napoleon's with Josephine。 。 。 。 Mr。 Emerson has just come to London and 

we give him a dinner on Tuesday�察�the 14th。             Several persons wish much

     Dear W。�此     � 。 。 Yesterday we dined at Lord Lansdowne's。             Among the 

guests     were   M。    and   Madam      Van    de  Weyer�察    �and   Mrs。    Austin�察  �the 

translatress�察  �who   has   been   driven   over   here   from   Paris�察  �where   she   has 

resided for several years。       She is a vehement friend of Guizot's�察�though a 

bitter   accuser   of   Louis   Philippe�察  �but   how   can   they   be   separated�拭�She 

interests herself strongly now in all his arrangements�察�and is assisting his 

daughters     to  form   their   humble    establishment。     He    and   his  daughters 

together  have   about   eight   hundred   pounds   a  year�察  �and   that   in   London   is 

poverty。     They have taken a small house in Brompton Square�察�a little out 

of town�察�and one of those suburban�察�unfashionable regions where the most 

accommodations can be had at the least price。               What a change for those 

who   have   witnessed   their   almost   regal   receptions   in   Paris�   �The   young 

ladies bear very sweetly all their reverses。 。 。 。 Guizot
