[11] It was reprinted with a Latin translation by J. C. Orelli, at
Leipzig in 1816. Strabo also mentions the Colossus as one of the seven
wonders of the world.
[12] This Greek word signifies, according to Cicero, a secret book, set
apart to contain the doings and tricks of contemporaries which it is
not desirable to reveal to the public.

[15] In a report of the meeting of the Academy of Sciences in Paris,
May 1857, M. le Baron Dupin, the spokesman of the Academy, informed
the public “that Omar, Mahomet’s general, having conquered the valley
of the Nile, his lieutenant Amrou suggested to him the formation of a
canal direct from Suez to Pelusium; but,” continues Monsieur Dupin,
“was it likely that the man (Amrou) who was guilty of burning the
Alexandrian library, should possess sufficient capacity to carry out so
grand an idea.”
Now there are here almost as many errors as words. First, the Emir Omar
never did conquer the valley of the Nile. Secondly, he could not have
rejected the idea of the construction of a canal from Suez to Pelusium,
for the very good reason that the canal already existed; and lastly,
he did not burn the Ptolomean library of Alexandria, as it had been
destroyed two centuries and a half previously.
[16] This literal translation from the passage in Arabic is due to
Silvestre de Sacy. G. Heyne, in his _Opuscula Academica_, explains
concisely all the vicissitudes the Alexandrian Library underwent.

[23] This decree of the council is delivered in terms sufficiently
damaging to the reputation of the convent of which Eloisa was prioress:
“_In communi audientiâ conclamatum est super enormitate et infamiâ
cujusdam monasterii sanctimonialium quod dicitur Argentolium in quo
paucæ moniales multiplici infamiâ ad ignominiam sui ordinis degentes,
multo tempore spurcâ et infami conversatione omnem ejusdem loci
affinitatem fœdaverant_.” (_Gallia Christiana_, Vol. VII. p. 52.)
[24] _Dulcius mihi semper exstitit amicæ vocabulum aut si non
indigneris, concubinæ vel scorti. Charius mihi et dignius videretur tua
dici meretrix quam Augusti imperatrix._
[25] The rest is better left in Latin: “_Concupiscentia te mihi potius
quam amicitia sociavit, libidinis ardor potius quam amor. Ubi igitur
quod desiderabas cessavit, quicquid propter hoc exhibebas pariter
evanuit._”
[26] _Frustra utrumque geritur quod amore Dei non agitur. In omni autem
Deus scit, vitæ meæ statu, te magis adhuc offendere quam Deum vereor.
Tibi placere amplius quam ipsi appeto. Tua me ad religionis habitum
jussio, non divina traxit dilectio. Vide quam infelicem et omnibus
miserabiliorem ducam vitam, si tanta hic frustra substineo: nihil
habitura remunerations in futuro!!_

her alleged crimes were inscribed.
[33] Namely: _Mémoire tiré des archives de Chateaubriand par feu le

[34] Mignet, Amédée Pichot, and W. Stirling.
M. Gachard has rather given the rein, we believe, to his imagination,
and adopts the legend of the funeral obsequies. We shall see how
triumphantly M. Mignet rebuts it.
[35] It was the Venetian, Frederic Badouaro, who conceived the comical
idea of representing Giovanni Torriano as a simple clockmaker.
Cardanus, in book XVII. of his work _De Artibus_, mentions a wonderful
piece of mechanism constructed by Torriano.
[36] Henry Coiffier de Ruzé d’Effiat, Marquis de Cinq-Mars, beheaded at
Lyons in 1642 by order of Richelieu. He was secretly married to Marion
Delorme.
[37] The author of this letter adds in a note: “The Marquis of
Worcester, who is considered by the English to be the inventor of the
steam-engine, appropriated to himself the discovery of Salomon de Caus
and inserted it in a book entitled _Century of Inventions_, published
in 1663.”
[38] Some very interesting details on Salomon de Caus and on the
honourable appointments he held until his death may be found in a work
of M. L. Dussieux: _Les Artistes Français à l’Étranger_, Paris 1856.
[39] Only a very few of the innumerable Histories and Biographies of
Charles V. will be mentioned here.
