scholastic Influences which surrounded Mme de

whlui bore forth such excellent literary fruits
The brilliant socUtr which filled the talont of the

where the poets and authors of the Augustan Age
met for brilliant dlcourea and sparkling Inter
chauge of views, 1 he can which made Mine,
de Bevlgne a lettcrsso successful having been traced
to their source, the Utters themselves were taken
up, the beauties of style which distinguish Ohm
pointed out, and the graphic powers of dillneation
possessed by the wr ter fmprdesed upon the minds
of the audience. Brief allusion was then made to
Jime. Larayette s rrlcnrt and co-worker, La Roche
foucailld. whose maxims oItalre ttvk-d as Thn
proverbs of clever people" The lecturer conclu
ded his most Interesting and instructive address by
showing how greatly the French nation had prorf-
