Still following the book-lists, I perceive that Mr. Swinburne has dedicated a rousing lyric and some vigorous sonnets to the memory of Gondremark; that name appears twice at least in Victor Hugo's trumpet-blasts of patriot enumeration; and I came latterly, when I supposed my task already ended, on a trace of the fallen politician and his Countess. It is in the 'Diary of J. Hogg Cotterill, Esq.' (that very interesting work). Mr. Cotterill, being at Naples, is introduced (May 27th) to 'a Baron and Baroness Gondremark - he a man who once made a noise - she still beautiful - both witty. She complimented me much upon my French - should never have known me to be English - had known my uncle, Sir John, in Germany - recognised in me, as a family trait, some of his GRAND AIR and studious courtesy - asked me to call.' And again (May 30th), 'visited the Baronne de Gondremark - much gratified - a most REFINED, INTELLIGENT woman, quite of the old school, now, HELAS! extinct - had read my REMARKS ON SICILY - it reminds her of my uncle, but with more of grace - I feared she thought there was less energy - assured no - a softer style of presentation, more of the LITERARY GRACE, but the same firm grasp of circumstance and force of thought - in short, just Buttonhole's opinion. Much encouraged. I have a real esteem for this patrician lady.' The acquaintance lasted some time; and when Mr. Cotterill left in the suite of Lord Protocol, and, as he is careful to inform us, in Admiral Yardarm's flag-ship, one of his chief causes of regret is to leave 'that most SPIRITUELLE and sympathetic lady, who already regards me as a younger brother.'
