CARLYLE AND PdNTZZT.
HOW THE ITALIAN WORRIED THE scoTcHMAN.

From The London Daily News.
A good instance Of the uncertainty Of fame is
afforded by the case of Panizzi. once chief
librarian OF the British Museum. OF whom Mr.
Giuseppe Fanchietti proposes TO write new
biography. Probably Panizzi, though he was a
person Of much importance in his day, who
6ined at the Holland House and wound up by
getting q British handle to his Italian name, is
now best remembered by his feud with Carlyle
This originated in Carlyle's early days in Lon
don, when he was working at the history Of the
French Revolution. Speaking of the French
collection of books and pamphlets which formed
the basis of the "Histoire Parlementaire,' in
an article contributed TO The Westminster Re-
view" In 1887, he added: 1T IS generally known
that g similar collection. perhaps still larger
and more curious. lies buried in the British

weeks ascertain so much as the table OF contents

This combined sneer and censure filled Panizzi
with wrath. He was then keeper Of the printed
books, and IL enraged him to be called re

the titles Of fat pedant" and italian language
