Excerpt from Reminiscences of an Intercourse With Mr. Niebuhr, the Historian, During a Residence With Him in Rome, in the Years 1822 and 1823 I might have grouped the difl'erent aphorisms un der some general heads; but even this arrangement seemed to me to indicate a promise of giving some thing complete; or, at any rate, it appeared to me to deprive the various sentiments Ofthat desultory cha racter which they ought to retain in order to remain perfectly natural as they were gathered, so I give them.
