JET. 37.] WITH CARNOT. 133 



" You should go alone, en garpon, and might, by 

 having the proper things and persons pointed out, see 

 as much in a week as another would in a month. It 

 is really important, as a public matter, that you should 

 go and see and hear. That it is agreeable, I venture 

 to assure you. I never spent any time by half so de- 

 lightfully ; my fortnight there passed away like a day. 

 It required no small fortitude to come over here to 

 law; and as for politics, Paris has made me quite 

 indifferent to them, for I found (what I never could 

 before) that I could enjoy life thoroughly without 

 ever thinking of parties. 



" You would at once be at home. The Ponsonbys 

 and many others are there, and those who know one 

 another make little coteries, and live together. Yours 

 sincerely, H. BROUGHAM/' 



Accordingly, I took an early opportunity of send- 

 ing to Lord Grey the conversation as I have here 

 given it.
