Facere, quod nostri maiores nequaquam pari bello Cimbrorum Teutonumque fecerunt; qui in oppida compulsi ac simili inopia subacti eorum corporibus, qui aetate inutiles ad bellum vide- bantur, vitam toleraverunt neque se hostibus tradiderunt. Cuius rei si exemplum non haberemus, tamen libertatis causa institui et posteris prodi pulcherrimum iudicarem. Nam quid illi simile bello fuit? Depopulata Gallia Cimbri magnaque illata calamitate finibus quidem nostris aliquando excesserunt atque alias terras petierunt ; iura, leges, agros, libertatem nobis reliquerunt; Romani vero quid petunt aliud, aut quid volunt, nisi invidia adducti, quos fama nobiles potentesque bello cognoverunt, horum in agris civitatibusque considere atque his aeternam iniungere servitutem?

Neque enim ulla alia condicione bella gesserunt. Quod si ea, quae in longinquis nationibus geruntur, ignoratis, respicite finitimam Galliam, quae in provin- ciam redacta, iure et legibus commutatis, securibus subiecta perpetua premitur servitute".

I have been here for a week and up to the present time everything is going well. I found last Tuesday a family boarding-house near the Latin Quarter and alongside the Luxembourg Garden. My room is on the third floor and looks out on the Garden. From my window I can see everything that goes on in the street, and I hear the omnibuses passing every moment. In the letter which I received yesterday, you say that you wrote me on the 1 8th of July. That letter I never received, and I wonder what has happened to it.

If the letter should arrive later, I should let you know, and should demand of the Post Office an explanation of its delay. You ask me if I need anything. Don't worry about me. You know that I need but very little to be happy, and that I complain but rarely.

Moliere, the greatest of all modern comic authors, was born in in one of the old quarters of Paris. His father was in the King's service and wished his son to choose the same business. His grandfather, they say, used to take the little fellow to the theatre, where performances were given which awakened the interest and the hidden talents of the child. Modern critics have supposed that these little expeditions to the theatre, under his grand- father's watch, had much to do with the development of that art which later was to render famous the son of the upholsterer.
