[16]The year 1834 has been generally accepted as the year of Borodin’s
birth. M. D. Calvocoressi (in the _London Musical Times_, June,
1934) reported that Serge Dianin had examined the church registers
in Leningrad, and other documents which proved the date to have been
October 31 (November 12), 1833, not 1834. “Borodin himself knew this
quite well until October 31, 1873, when he wrote to his wife: ‘Today
is my fortieth birthday.’ But on that very day an old servant of his
mother, Catherine Beltzman by name, assured him that he was
thirty-nine years old, not forty. Borodin was delighted, and never
troubled to verify the information.”—EDITOR.

“_Grammarian, painter, augur, rhetorician,
Rope-dancer, conjuror, fiddler, and physician,
All trades his own, your hungry Greekling counts;
And bid him mount the sky—the sky he mounts!_”
Gifford’s Translation.
Compare Dr. Johnson’s lines:
_All sciences the hungry Monsieur knows,
And bid him go to hell—to hell he goes!_
