52 GRAPE CULTURE AND WINE-RIAKING. 



But, before leaving Dijon, I must here acknowledge my heartfelt 

 thanks to Professor M. C. Ladrej for the kind attention we re- 

 ceived at his hands, and for the valuable information, books, re- 

 ports, etc., which he presented to me. To his accomplished lady 

 and family our gratitude likewise is due. We had the pleasure 

 of partaking of a magnificent entertainment with them. 



After bidding farewell to our new acquaintances, we started at 

 midnight by the train for Paris. As it was night we could see 

 nothing, so that we had to spend the time as best we could.
