I shall be in the best society, that of the Duc de Broglie, Guizot, and so on.

I think of writing an article on the Politics of France since the Restoration, with characters of the principal public men, and a parallel between the present state of France and that of England.

I think that this might be made an article of extraordinary interest.

I do not say that I could make it so.

It must, you will perceive, be a long paper, however concise I may try to be; but as the subject is important, and I am not generally diffuse, you must not stint me.
