TEN MENDACITY or HISTORY.


From the North American Review
That fayorite romance of our child
hood. the story Of the rescue Of Rich
ard Couer de Lion, a hero dear to
every reader of Scott's Talisman,
rests on an intirm basis No chron-
icler Of the time of Richard. or until
four centuries later, speaks of the in
eident. The earliest mention is in a
manuscript Of the late fourteenth cen
tury. From this source the tale was
first given currency in print by Fau-
chet's dusty folio until 1705, when a
clever French authoress, Mile. Lher-
liter de Viliandon, published La tour
tenebreuse, romance novel, in which
she embellishes Fauchets source with
inventions Of her own.
1t was in this novel that Sedaine
found the theme of his opera Richard
Couer de Lion, first presented on
April q, 1884. The opera of Sedaine
and the music of Gretry made the tale
popular. Goldsmith is the first his
torian-if he may be so styled-who
mentions the incident as fact,
though Whareton had independently
come upon the account in Fauehet
and given it currency From these
pages the story of Blondel passed
into greater historical works like
Mills History Of the Crusades, Mich
aud's Historic des Croisades, the
Raumers Geschichte der Hosentau-
fen.
Modern history, in like manner. has
been purged by the fire of historical
criticism. The universal belief of the
Protestant world Of the sixteenth
century that the Massacre Of st.
Bartholomew was premeditated is
without foundation The Grand Design
Of Henry " was a figment of the dot
ard brain Of the Duke of Sully: the
genuineness of the memoirs OF Richie
lieu and Pere Joseph is seriously
doubted, and the memoirs Of Talley-
rand are a fabrication Tilly was not
responsible for the firing of Magde-
burg and the awful destruction that
ensued, Louis XIV never used the
famous words, I'll ny plus de Pyr-
ences." The Spanish ambassador Cas-
tel des Rios said something like it and
La Beaumele, later attributed to the
king. Even Voltaire. although Mad
anne Deifand cast upon him the re-
proach Of inventing history was not
deceived by the tale.

The last words were addressed to
Miss Smith exclusively, but she con.

body Of the letter, which unfortunately
escaped subsequent perusal, because
there was pile OF correspondence
that day and Mr.. Rogers picked up
two letters together and only signed
the top one.
The letter duly reached Miss Mary
Burton in London. Miss Burton had
selected a particularly fine assortment
OF goods that spring, but when she re-
ceived Mr.. Rogers communication she
did not 60 to Huddersfeld. On the
