  Election of M. Ampere. This is an improvement upon the last. A slow improvement. But Academies, like old people, go slowly. During the session and after the election Lamartine sent to me by an usher the following lines: C’est un État peu prospere D’aller d’Empis en Ampere. I replied to him by the same usher: Toutefois ce serait pis D’aller d’Ampere en Empis. |
