MADAME DE SEVIGNE.--It is singular, that
of a person so universally talked of and admired as Ma-
dame de Sevigne, so little should be actually known,
and that less should be known in England than any-
where else, though she is nowhere else more admired or
talked of. The reason probably is, that we have no au-
thentic record of her life ; though it is one which was
intimately connected with many of the most extraordi-
nary persons, and the most singular state of society and
manners which civilized Europe ever knew. The forth-
coming work, entwitlielld

writers , When it is recollected that Madame de Sevigne
was the intimate associate, during her whole life, of
nearly all the most celebrated persons of the Court of
Louis XIV., we may expect such a fund of anecdote
and entertainment as the annals of scarcely any other
period could supply.
