himself, he has idea Of going the length of sucf
absurdity as that. AS social man, Dupin is d.

LAMARrISE has forced himself into eminence
as an orator; we say forced himself for there was
great reluctance to lister To poet talking politics
Lamartine, however, had been dlplomatist, be-
sore he became a poet, and his notions of foreign
policy are far less crude than those of his colleagues
in general. Lamartiae has the honor Of having
yoresecn and foIetold the treaty of July and the
oreecs with England, full eighteen months before
,hey took place. In memorable speech he point
ed ont the quarrel intc which beth counties were
blindy alngias themselves, and vainly begged oi
his coun,rymen 10 stop. the speech was then
laughed a, as the most absurd Of prophecies. Hs
had afterwards the greater honor OF standing al
alone in his opposition TO the tor'ihcauon Of
Pats.
MAuGulN is as good an orator any man car
be who common sense, and eno,her common
quality generally cited with it. Tocquevllle hns
utterly failed both speaker and politicar.-
SAuzgr is whipped cream. NILLEMAIs is re-
.narkable and indeed the last surviving specimen,
OF the mode Of thinking and speaking OF the last
century. His French is classic, his style episram-
snatic, his tone iranical, and his arguments Vol
,airianism. CoUslS is an awkward schoolboy, who
has purloined some eloquence and mysticism from
German philosophers. But we have already com.
TO the sccond-ra,e men and may close the series
Vi sketches into which we have digressed."
