ïn an article on the "French Academy" the Saiwâay J&p^of thfioihof April, 1870, states: —

41 OnginaHy coinmïssioned to produce the ClasncTi«nék1)ictiouRty t <it 'ha^anrived, we belàwe, at the sûcth letter of die Alphabet in thettamnwof *wo Centuries and a ôuarter, and at a fifth édition ef a.Bictionary of comanon use, composed uader its auspices ; while in the course of a single life devoted to science and consumed in the se v e r es t aaily and nignuy studios, M. Ltttré, who is ngt a member of the Academy, is «teadily and sureiy agcamptislmig by fais own unassisted exertkms a rtanairtff and JMiraseological Dictionaty of the French langimgc, unmaîlcd iaconapreliea&iveness and completeness."'-"

Hov cornes itthat M. Littre*. whose réputation for learmng «ndaeàmee-is ILuropean, and whose siagle-minded self-dévotion bas Bswoeen surpassed in a : Bénédictine monastsry, remains one of the*most conspicuous among the rejectecLof the Academy? Siinply because 'M. Littnfs pélitical and ptûlo- .sophical.ieptaions are distasteful to the «lexical aad politisai coterie

eedojninant in the Palais Mazarin. To tbethe aathorof the amplest^md tst french dictionaryts no atonement in the eyes of a ntajorifcy of thèse -guardiâns and censors of the national literature for the ofience of betagan Marpeanderot Posktvism aad a Republioan. The absence of > M. Ltaréftam

the Aoadeny is even more remarkabJe than that of many historians, essay- 4*ts, and 'humourists whose Works are the common possession of the whole •civifised woHd,*ince it is to M. Littréalone that France wiU oweïfae falfilmeat {if happUy his lilie is spared a tew years longe*) of, that. great antional

enterprise with which the Academy was charged more than two centuries

ago.
