Madame George and.-Nothing could ex-
coed the extreme excentricity of this womans
character. On her debut in the world of letters,
she adopted the name she now bears, and which
is composed of the first syllable of that of her
first adorer, Jules Sandeau. Not satisfied with
assuming this masculine denomination, she
adopted at the same time the dress of man,
and was often seen abroad in the garb of dam
dy, smoking cigar. Latterly she appeared in
more feminine costume. Her life is passed in
the greatest retirement, and her society is excu-
slvely composed Of literary or scientific men. At
the outset of her career she published all her
works in the :" Revue des Deux Mondes !" but a
pecuniary squabble with the editor Of that review
made her seek other means Of publication. Du-
ring some time she wrote in a paper edited
by PAbbe de Lammenais. Her articles were
couched in the very highest strain of republican
feeling, but, like all her writings, were full Of
mind and energy. a{gl ssFl. H; ssfk .f4 !.

lay before the reader what the mind Of George
Sand was before the false vanity of forming

pen and her imagintion by the turpitudes she has
poured out upon the world. She now edits,
