ADVERTISEMENT.
Lady Anne Granard is a domestic story of the present day, and is therefore decidedly different to those captivating romances already given to the world by L. E. L.; but all who have enjoyed personal acquaintance with that highly-gifted lady, will immediately perceive that the story is written in her own peculiar conversational style. It combines a playful and keenly satirical vein, with a good-humoured willingness to escape from her own perception of the ridiculous and the blameable, in order to rest on those recollections of the benevolence she loved, the virtue she venerated, or the poetic sense of all that was excellent and beautiful, with which her spirit was so essentially imbued, and to which her thoughts were constantly habituated. It is necessary, however, to acquaint the reader that the plan and first portion of the work only are the production of the late Mrs. Maclean (L. E. L.). They ​are the last literary labours of that deeply-lamented lady. The friend who has seen the work through the press, and ventured to conclude the story, so prematurely bereft of its true parent, can only entreat indulgence for her humble efforts, which she believes to be in strict accordance with the intentions of the author.

# Leigh Hunt’s London Journal/Volume 2/26 September 1835/Table Talk

"Fine Simile" is an extract from John Sterling's 1833 novel Arthur Coningsby. The "Professor Rafiensque" in "Picking of Meat" appears to be French polymath Constantine Samuel Rafinesque (1783–1840).
TABLE TALK.
FINE SIMILE.
The husband smiled in delight upon his wife; and when she had retired and left the friends together, it seemed to Arthur that the star of evening was quenched, and Wilmot could not refrain from talking of her for an hour. Shifting fancies and wild emotions had all been assimilated by his love and wedlock, into a steady and integral portion of his nature; as the vague sand-bank, weltering at the will of gales and waters, and on which nothing of more stable reality can rest, than some bright storm-vision, may be fixed into a cape of solid earth, supported by rocks of coral, and covered with gardens and forests, peopled with the creatures of paradise.—Arthur Coningsby.
PICKLING OF MEAT.
Professor Rafiensque denounces the use of saltpetre in brine, intended for the preservation of flesh to be kept for food. That part of the saltpetre which is absorbed by the meat, he says, is nitric acid, or aquafortis—a deadly poison. Animal flesh, previous to the addition of pickle, consists of gelatinous and fibrous substances, the former only possessing a nutricious virtue. This gelatin is destroyed by the chymical action of salt and saltpetre; and, as the professor remarks, the meat becomes as different a substance from what it should be, as leather is from the raw hide before it is subjected to the process of tanning. He ascribed to the pernicious effects of the chymical change, all the diseases which are common to mariners and others, who subsist principally on salted meat, such as scurvy, sore gums, decayed teeth, ulcers, &c., and advises a total abandonment of the use of saltpetre in the making of pickle for beef, pork, &c.; the best substitute for which, he says, is sugar, a small quantity rendering the meat sweeter, more wholesome, and equally as durable. This statement ought to be made known to all, and recommended to farmers, butchers, packers of sea provisions, and all the people who, owing to their residence from towns and villages, or from other causes, are in the habit of curing their own meat.
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.

* The sun comes up our eastern skies.
* Less bright henceforth shall sunshine be
* To some fond hearts and saddened eyes.
* There are who for thy last, long sleep
* Shall sleep as sweetly nevermore —
* Shall weep because thou canst not weep,
* And grieve that all thy griefs are o'er.
* Sad thrift of love! the loving breast
* On which the aching head was thrown,
* Gave up the weary head to rest.
* But kept the aching for its own.

# Les Misérables/Volume 5/Book Second/Chapter 5

To-day the sewer is clean, cold, straight, correct. It almost realizes the ideal of what is understood in England by the word "respectable." It is proper and grayish; laid out by rule and line; one might almost say as though it came out of a bandbox. It resembles a tradesman who has become a councillor of state. One can almost see distinctly there. The mire there comports itself with decency. At first, one might readily mistake it for one of those subterranean corridors, which were so common in former days, and so useful in flights of monarchs and princes, in those good old times, "when the people loved their kings." The present sewer is a beautiful sewer; the pure style reigns there; the classical rectilinear alexandrine which, driven out of poetry, appears to have taken refuge in architecture, seems mingled with all the stones of that long, dark and whitish vault; each outlet is an arcade; the Rue de Rivoli serves as pattern even in the sewer. However, if the geometrical line is in place anywhere, it is certainly in the drainage trench of a great city. There, everything should be subordinated to the shortest road. The sewer has, nowadays, assumed a certain official aspect. The very police reports, of which it sometimes forms the subject, no longer are wanting in respect towards it. The words which characterize it in administrative language are sonorous and dignified. What used to be called a gut is now called a gallery; what used to be called a hole is now called a surveying orifice. Villon would no longer meet with his ancient temporary provisional lodging. This net-work of cellars has its immemorial population of prowlers, rodents, swarming in greater numbers than ever; from time to time, an aged and veteran rat risks his head at the window of the sewer and surveys the Parisians; but even these vermin grow tame, so satisfied are they with their subterranean palace. The cesspool no longer retains anything of its primitive ferocity. The rain, which in former days soiled the sewer, now washes it. Nevertheless, do not trust yourself too much to it. Miasmas still inhabit it. It is more hypocritical than irreproachable. The prefecture of police and the commission of health have done their best. But, in spite of all the processes of disinfection, it exhales, a vague, suspicious odor like Tartuffe after confession.
Let us confess, that, taking it all in all, this sweeping is a homage which the sewer pays to civilization, and as, from this point of view, Tartuffe's conscience is a progress over the Augean stables, it is certain that the sewers of Paris have been improved.
It is more than progress; it is transmutation. Between the ancient and the present sewer there is a revolution. What has effected this revolution?
The man whom all the world forgets, and whom we have mentioned, Bruneseau.

* TANTALUS.
* I at the banquet of the gods have sate
* Above the clouds that shroud these earthly plains,
* Their nectar quaffed, and their ambrosia ate,
* And felt the Olympian ichor in my veins.
* Apollo, like a glory in a gloom,
* Jove's thund’rous brow, and Juno's face serene,
* Chaste Dian's grace, the auroral blush and bloom
* That Venus owns, these mortal eyes have seen.
* Mad with desire I strove the charm to seize
* That should again renew to sense and soul
* On earth below those heavenly ecstasies, —
* And I their nectar and ambrosia stole.
* But who against the gods shall e'er prevail?
* The bliss of heaven on earth we may not own;
* Stale tastes the nectar here, the ambrosia stale,
* The ethereal flavor lost, the aroma flown.
* And so the gods condemn me here to stand
* Thirsting within the stream that from me flees,
* Hungering 'mid fruits ambrosial that my hand
* Forever vainly reaches out to seize.
* My sense the music of Apollo haunts,
* But dim and distant and beyond my reach;
* I hear afar the gods' grand utterance,
* But cannot shape it into mortal speech.
* In silence still I feel as in a dream
* Their dim, mysterious whisperings everywhere, —
* On the lone hills, in forest, reed, and stream,
* In night's low breathings, in the sea's despair.
* So taunting ever with half-confidence
* That wins the listening ear, but will not speak,
* Pleasing and puzzling all the soul and sense,
* The gods forever mock us mortals weak.
* O poets, in whatever realm or clime,
* Pity me — Tantalus — for you must feel
* How nature lures us on with dreams sublime,
* And hints the secret she will ne'er reveal!
