[685] St. Cyprian (_circa_ 200-258), Bishop of Carthage, persecuted under Decius, and exiled and martyred under Valerian. He was the author of the famous treatise on the Lapsed from which the above quotation is taken. St. Cyprian is honoured on the 16th of September.--T. [686] Eustache Le Sueur (1617-1655), known as the French Raphael, the first painter of the French school under Louis XIV. Persecuted by his envious rivals, he retired to the Chartreuse on the death of his wife, and painted for the monastery his greatest work, the Life of St. Bruno, in twenty-two pictures.--T. [687] St. Bruno (_circa_ 1040-1101), Founder of the Carthusian Order, and honoured on the 6th of October.--T. [688] The certificate of death has since been discovered. Madame de Caud died in the Marais, at No. 6, Rue d'Orléans, on the 18 Brumaire, Year XIII (9 November 1804).--B. [689] On the 13th of November 1804, Chateaubriand, who was then staying at Villeneuve-sur-Yonne with his friend Joubert, wrote to Chênedollé: "Madame de Caud is no more. She died in Paris on the 9th. We have lost the most beautiful soul, the most exalted genius, that ever existed. You see that I am born for every sorrow. In how few days has Lucile gone to join Pauline [Madame de Beaumont]! Come, my dear friend, and weep with me this winter, in January. You will find a man who is inconsolable, but who is your friend for life.--Joubert sends you a million loves."--B. [690] Chateaubriand's family at that date comprised Madame la Comtesse de Marigny; Madame la Comtesse de Chateaubourg, and their children; the daughter of the Comtesse Julie de Farcy; and the sons of the Comte de Chateaubriand.--B. [691] The juxtaposition of the names of Julien and Clarke, is somewhat forced. Edward Clarke was not Cook's valet, but his companion and his rival in fame. He three times circumnavigated the world. Both left Plymouth together, on the 12th of July 1776, Captain Cook commanding the _Discovery_ and Captain Clarke the _Resolution._ After the death of Cook, killed by the natives of Owhyhee, on the 14th of February 1779, Clarke succeeded him in the command of the expedition, and himself died as he was arriving in Kamchatka. The _Discovery_ and the _Resolution_ returned to England on the 4th of October 1780.--B. [692] I omit a portion of the extracts from the servant's Itinerary. These will be indicated in their places.--T. [693] At Trieste.--T. [694] _De Sparte et d'Athènes._--_Author's Note._ [695] I omit Julien's description of the streets of Constantinople.--T. [696] I omit a quotation from Julien's narrative.--T. [697] I omit Julien's observations here.--T. [698] I omit a quotation from Julien's Itinerary.--T. [699] Hannibal (247-183 B.C.), the famous Carthaginian general.--T. [700] Dido Queen of Tyre founded Carthage _circa_ 860 B.C.--T.
