Excerpt from Journals and Correspondence of Lady Eastlake, Vol. 2 of 2 Paris, Sept. R6.-to-day we drove to the Hotel de Ville, one of the most exquisite buildings I have seen, in form, decoration, and colour; a monument of real art - every window and door way a picture, and the very knockers of Medusa heads worthy of Leonardo da Vinci. Louis Philippe completed the place in exquisite style. Then we passed by the new barracks of the Im perial Guard, built by Louis Napoleon 'de pierre et de fer - no other materials. Here the tele graph wires, which fly high in the air from the Tuileries and every other imperial building, are sufficiently significant of perpetual vigilance but under the ground other works were going on, more significant still. Louis Napoleon is having subterranean passages made from the principal barracks to the Tuileries, so that the soldiers may pass instantly to him, and also, as our coach man said, pour que la famille impériale puisse se sauver quand on attaque le chateau des Tuileries.' It is thus that the beloved and chosen of the people is providing for his safety against them - and small blame to him.

Excerpt from Journals and Correspondence of Lady Eastlake, Vol. 1 of 2 The principle I have endeavoured to adhere to, with such wealth of material at my command, has been to keep myself in the background - to say as little, and to allow her to say as much, as possible. Perhaps Southey's dictum - that a man's character could more surely be judged by the letters which his friends addressed to him, than by those he himself penned - was intended to apply to male writers only. In any case, I am confident that a true idea of Lady Eastlake's character and abilities can be formed by a perusal of what she has herself written.
