_Anecdote of Dutens_ (Vol. vii., pp. 26. 390.).--

"Lord Lansdowne at breakfast mentioned of Dutens, who wrote _Memoires

d'un Voyageur qui se repose_, and was a great antiquarian, that, on his

describing once his good luck in having found (what he fancied to be) a

tooth of Scipio's in Italy, some one asked him what he had done with

it, upon which he answered briskly: 'What have I done with it? Le

voici,' pointing to his mouth; where he had made it supplemental to a

lost one of his own."--Moore's _Journal_, vol. iv. p. 271.
