THE DISTINGUISHED NATIONS.
Ranixe "as a Man and Brother"

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Everybody knows Rankc, the historian. but
there are few who know anything of the author
of The History of the Popes as "a man and =
brother" for there is hardly writer. even On
historic subjects, who has KEEP: his own indi-
viduality 80 entirely ont OF his works as the Ger
man author ard philosopher. 1t is therefore
the more interesting TO find that in volume
which has recently been published DIT Ieipzir
the editor A. Dove. gives q charming picture
of Leopold Won Ranhe he appeared to his
friends. The volume is a collection of letters
passages from diaries and "reminiscences which
Ranke himself entitled Eur eigenen Lebensges-
chichta." and put together material for the
Inevitable future biographer.
1t Is interesting to note that the historian was
ono OF the few human teings who do not in old
age look back, or pretend to DO Sc upon their
past lives with dissatisfaction. Twas called to
do this; am born IL order to do il, he writes
in his youthful days TO his brother concerning
his historic researches. and when, over half n
century later Oh. he wrote TO his wife (wno. Inv
the way, was an English woman, born in Dub
linz from Paris, where he was diving into n
sea OF manuscripts" he acknowledged writing
III French, according TO his custom OF CORE
spending with her III the language OF the couu-
try where he happened to be: 'J'etudie tou-
jours avee lie plus grand plaisir imGs Unable aux
archives; mon assiduite repond a mon pl;isr
ii va quelquc iueur de jeunesse OF plu.or &c
juvcnilite dams ces etudes.
An interesting passage in the volume is that
in which Ranke refers to his meeting in London
with Lord Macauley, who Was the first to
spread the fame OF the great German historian
in England. Il found 1Iacauley," says Ranke
in letter to his wife. 'neat Kensang ton Gar
dens, in "a beautiful country house His book
has made him rich. 1t gave lie much pleasure
to listen to his good English. He talks as lie
writes-with the same interest, the same energy
and the same political opinions, l told him

his manner of explaining the present by the
past, although l do not agree with him on all
points But he did not seem quito pleased
when he heard that intended taking up En-
glish history" At Lord Granyiilcs historic
dinner in honor Of Ranke rs visit the latter met
Macauley again. Il met him once more" he
writes. HE was the greatest talkcr. l also
met Mr. GrOte with whom made friends.'

you time for preparation. and so the court

The prisoner replied that he was ready to die
at any time the court might appoint The
judge then said: "1ir Green. you must know
that 1t is a very serious thing to be hanged; it
