LEAVES PARIS FOR ENGLAND. 155 



I have been waiting, and had no inclination. Meanwhile a 

 note came from Baron de la Bouillerie, announcing the king's 

 subscription for sik copies ; and I have appointed an agent in 

 Paris, and am now ready to leave. I have bid adieu to Baron 

 Cuvier and Geoffrey St. Bjlaire, and have taken a seat ia the 

 rotunda for Calais and London direct. I have paid twenty francs 

 in advance, and long for to-morrow, to be on my way to England. 

 I shall have been absent two months, have expended forty 

 pounds, and obtained thirteen subscribers."
