 me the use of his riding horse, only regretting that he could not

 and see me again, and remember me to Humboldt. Bon voyage ! ' 

 On May 11, twenty- three days after my visit, Bonpland died. 

 The words used by Humboldt upon the death of Blumenbach ' The 

 death of Herr Blumenbach, who, like many other men of science, 

 has had the misfortune to survive a literary reputation somewhat 

 too readily acquired ' are still more applicable to Bonpland, who 

 had certainly long outlived his celebrity.
