Hughes South of France only two hundred and fifty copies printed. "——I informed my friend that I had just received from England a journal of a tour made in the South of France by a young Oxonian friend of mine, a poet, a draughtsman, and a scholar—in which he gives such an animated and interesting description of the ChÂteau Grignan, the dwelling of Madame de SevignÉ's beloved daughter, and frequently the place of her own residence, that no one who ever read the book would be within forty miles of the same without going a pilgrimage to the spot. The Marquis smiled, seemed very much pleased, and asked the title at length of the work in question; and writing down to my dictation, 'An Itinerary of Provence and the Rhone made during the year 1819, by John Hughes, A.M. of Oriel College, Oxford,'—observed, that he could now purchase no books for the ChÂteau, but would recommend that the Itineraire should be commissioned for the Library to which he was abonnÉ in the neighbouring town,"—Sir Walter Scott's Quentin Durward. Thomas White, Printer, Johnson's Court. |
