COMPLETION OF THR PARLIAMENTARY
HISTORY.

allowing the full heart nothing to wish for, and leaving
no sting behind.
On the mountain's brown
The cold resod ntooo shines deeply down,
Blue rail the waters, blue the sky
Ppm& the an ocean tent on high.
Bespangled with those Wes of light.
So wildly, spiritually bright,
Whoever gated gym them shining,
And aimed to earth without repining,
Nor wished for wings to tee sway
And mix with their eternal ray ?
The waves on either shore lay there
Calm, clear, and azure as the air •
And seam their fries the pebble 'book
eat murmured meetly as the brook."

After an interesting walk of three days from Geneva
my friend and myself entered the valley of Chummy.
This small disttict, which presents en onion of the m .•.
singular phtrnomenit, and the meat stroking contrasts.
has already exhausted the time tad talents of a con pt-
less host of travellers. Some, led on by an anxioas spiri •
of investigation and of deep research, have drawn the
most profound and learned pictures; others, throwing
off the trammels of science, and giving full scope to ima-
gination, have painted its miens beauties with all the
warmth of entbosiasm; end yet all have fallen far below
their subject. Thus it is that nature, in lo 'sting on
her worts the avgnst character of bet, ems, leas
circumscribed within narrow limits the eseriptive fa-
culties of man. At every step she strikes, astonishes
and coalitin's his eyirnal yet allows of no other ho-
mage than that of a i and inexpressible admiration.
The valley of Cbabionny, is eland Eve leagues in
length, by a mean breadth of two miles. It is
ciued corn-fields, watered thniuglo.
out by withyl thilleellfbals on every side, except the sontio,
env:rone.l Inf'v noonntains. The Flamers, to which,
with the ::ont Wane, it chiefly owes tts celebrity, show
themselves in succession. The first that we dworerned
was that of racoons!, the least consid=e of a":
a little frrther descends that of the Doi , and ter-
minates its course amid the corn-fields; in the diernee
is seen the sinuons glacier des Bois encroaching toren
the fertile vale. These majestir glaciers, the gloomy
forests of Ow that border them, the mighty rocks of
granite br which they are crowned, the many monntnon
peaks, which the ire ran scarcey follow through the
clouds, and above which Mont Blanc rears his royal bead,
form one of the most awe-inspiring and su!,:itue scenes
which the human n:ind can conceive.

Whilst walking slowly onwarils, absorbed in the va-
ribss marginal' to which this scene gave birth, it sod-
dimly steads me that I had trot an boar at Verney, in
baay contomplatios of the surrounding charms of oa-
ten, wither* once thinking of its former proprietor.
whow4 I asked myself, arises this callous
lowa+ one so highly celebrated ?—lt is that the
memory of that immortal man, though associated wilt
every thing great and glorions in the mental world, is
still unable so 'write one soft or tender feeling. Cu-
riosity formed the sole motive of my visit to Verney, and
for its gratification only was I induced to remain there
so 'Jag. Rot. had VOltaire united to the strong qua-
lities of the head the moral feelings of the heart ; hail
he tempered the pride of the philosopher with the humi-
lity of the Christian; a secret charm would have hung
around the spot, and detained me there a willing cap-
tive; scarcely ronld I have torn myself away; and the
regret of my departure would have been softened only
he the anticipation when I should again visit and again
admire this Interesting place. Suns is the triumph of

We m.de a short detour from the road for the purpose
of visiting the glacier des Boissont, wI .1i lay three
planers of a league on our right. After ascending Ivr
some times steep and rugged path, the glacier presented
itself directly in front. Through the dark pines over
which it iinpended, we discerned its intim:seeable pyra-
mids, of a dazzling whiteness, and at length havirg
reached the spot where it reposes upon an almost lesil
surfsee, we scaled the rampart of' loose stones and
earl) (idled, in the language of the counter. My-
raiue,") which it had pushed onwards. and foond our.
selves upon its icy bed. I Jo not think it potsible to
convey on paper a correct idea of the form sod nature
of a glacier; it must be seen to he thoroughly cue-
ceived. Most writers on this subject confer in co!..
paring it to the ocean, or a lake sti.'denly freetoi
agitated by a tremendous storm; but this erfilitir n
seems ohjectionahle, since the consequent association of
ideas must necessarily and naturally lead to a stir7ti4:-
tine of a glacier's being horizontal, than which nothicg
would be more unfounded.
Let us imagine a lofty, steep, and snow-covered f 110.117
tain, front whose sninwit fall several wide- and deep rear.
rents. which, rolling down its sides, drag along wish
them huge blocks of stone and heaps of wreck. Let
these streams, by the force of the winds and their own
steep descent, be agitated to the utmost delve, of vin.
lence, dashing aloft their waves to time height e!•ZU or

masses of granite. During all this azonfuelon, let us
fancy an Almighty hand sutideelv to have changed the
whole tumultuous scene into solid ice, still, howtvcr,
retaining its troubled form, and the nature and aspect
of a glacier may then be conceived. Certainly one of
th- best descriptions of this phernotnenon is to met with
in osidan. when she minty winds have seized
the waves of the mountain lake, have seized them in a
stormy night, and covered them over v ith ice, whim
to the hunter's early eye the billows still seem to roll.
He toms his ear to the sound of each onetiusl ridge,
bat each is silent, gleaming. strewed with )engl.• and
tufts of grass, which ?bloke and whistle to the wind or r
their grey seats of fruit." Were we not aware of ti.e
close intercourse that existed between Scotland and
Norway during the real of Ossirn, which would etro.d
the bait, an opportunity of witneseng what he has
here described, this yassaire might afford a strong pre-
sumption. that Marphevoo as. not merely the trearietor
of Ossian's Pot ass.

Coppet, wkieb lies within a Wane of Ferney, derives
its chief intakest from the asmciated recollections of the
late possessar, e de Steel ; and deep indeed
should be the ireasitnthat a mind like her 's inspires.
In whatever polot of view considered, she cannot he
denied a place in the first rank of celebrated women.
From the mentent that the first faint beams of her star
glittered above the horizon. to the period of their final
extinction, her lift presented nanny and stril.ing vicis-
situdes, and its cursory consideration off arts too many
sources of reflection to be wholly neglected.
Madame de Steel embarked at an early period in her
literary career, sad that too; %' a time when the in-
heeler of her the rank of her husband. the gifts
of fortune, sad the tons of the world, held nett to
her the easy attaindient of every pleasure. The " Let-
tres nor Rottman" were her first essay. A female of
twenty undertook. the delicate task of weighing the
merits of Jetta Jalopies, and, it, many instances, the pane-
gyrist and the objets praised were on a level. Some years
afterwards she produced her " Defense dr la Keine," at
the very moment when the unhappy Marie Antoinette
WV ender the axe of her 11).11.'1c-reva It was, however,
the " Relic-zips one la Pak interirnre," that gave the
first strong i#jeation of the political forceieht and @li-
ltwhich hare slate rendered her so I ighly celebrated.
ti lW WO^ 1111adamr *Mud became obwelltella
to the men who then steered the political vessel of
France ; in consequence of which she was ex:led, and,
during that exile, wrote the several works that have
given her so distinguished a rank in the literary worit.
In UK she published her " sur 'influence des
Passions;" a work whirl, is incomplete, of whirls the
plan is defective, because it is too vast, but which is an
inexhaustihie mine of nervous .and just ideas. In 161-1!,
issued from the press " ' and shortly after-
wards. " Corinne," whish every one has read, and in
reading, has admired as an elegant sketch of the most
interestint country in Enrcipc.. In IMI appeared her
" De ['Alternator," in which she pourtrayed a people
moral becalse they are enlightened. and enlightened
because they enjoy a liberty rarely infringed upon. She
there extols an independent and unrestricted circulation
of literature, and eimres her conviction that genius,
without such freedom, cannot exist. This was sup-
pressed by the French Goverrintent.
Notwithstanding that she thus assiduously cultivated
the rich fields of literature during an exile (font ber na-
tive country, and fruu• the clearly cherished *cents of
her youth,.her heart was not insensible to the privation ;
she straggled nobly against her fate, but yet felt all its
bitterness. Her time was divided between travelling
through various parts of Europe, where her brilliant
reputation always 'insured a cordial welcome, and fre-
quent visits to her father, for whom her lore approached
almost to adoration. What sight could be more interest-
ing than that of M. Neckar and his daughter? The one
bore withiiim into retirement the moo dignified recol-
lections, and the most peaceful consciousness of having
discharged his public (buy; the other heaminr with
genius, talent, and energy, lavished upon him all her
affections, referred all to him PS to her directing oracle,
existed only to please him, and added :o the charms of
an unfailing conversation, the utmost fervour of filial
piety.
Of such a father was such a daughter bereaved during
one of her excursions. She returned with all possible
speed, but too late; and, buried under a load of ilk-
tton, as sincere as it was heavy, she forgot every thing
in her loss. The last three tears of her life bladame
de Steel was, however, enabled to spend in that
France which she so dearly loved. Every thing con-
curred to reeompeoso her for her pest inieortunes. The
justice of the hing restored to her the aarred deposit
which M. Neckar had entrusted tie the faith of the na-
tion. A son, who Inherited and cherished all his mo-
ther's sentiments; a 'brighter, who was happily united
to a man of rank and influence; friends, who bad proved
during her adverse circumstances their right to share
in her prosperity—were all gathered around her. Still
young, she half every reason to anticipate a long con-
tinuance of these blessing., when death, after five
months of suffering, tore her from those wbuse happiness
she conetituteel, and whose affections she commanded.
Madame de Steel, to a prbfound understanding united
the liveliest sensibility, and the most ardent feelings.—
She thought strongly, and always expressed what she
thongbt ; she thought not always jtistiv ; and occasion-
ally, therefore, her expressions gave ott,nee. Her pas-
sions too frequently hurried away ber better judgment ;
and, with a heart always open to the warm dictates of
benevolence; with sentiments abounding in good-will
and affection towards those from whom she had experi-
enced even the most trilling attentions.; with feelings
that would hate done honour to human nature, bad they
hero but ender the controod of prudence ; rich in every
quality that could conciliate esteem, in every mental en-
dowment that could excite admiration, she havoietwith-
standing, left behind her many enemies, as well as
many friends. Nay the grave cover her failing+, se
they who loved her will cherish her Ilene': and miry
those who decried her living, respect her now no more!
