The Remusats.

The correspondence of Mme. de Rémusat has reached its fourth volume. Some families destroy all their letters; it is very fortunate that the Rémusats are not of the number. The letters of Mme. de Rémusat and his mother make a sort of perpetual dialogue; and in this dialogue one must give the first place to the mother: her letters are decidedly the best. He is a little too paradoxical, he runs too much after wit; she is perfectly natural, and she has the precious faculty of saying good, sensible things with a degree of charm, with elegance, a simplicity, which gives them their full value.
