In this combination consisted her pre-eminent charm : she was not a genius, not a heroine, but a woman whom men could more than love ; whom they could make their friend, confidante, and counsellor, the sharer, not of their joys and sorrows only, but of their ideas and aims. Such was Madame de Sable, whose name is, perhaps, new to some of our readers, so far does it lie from the surface of literature and history. We have seen, too, that she was only one amongst a crowd one in a firmament of femi...nine stars which, when once the biographical telescope is turned upon them, appear scarcely less remarkable and interesting. Now if the reader recollects what was the position and average in- tellectual character of women in the high society of England during the reigns of James the First and the two Charleses, the period through which Madame de Sable's career extends, we think he will admit our position as to the early superi- ority of womanly development in France, and this fact, with its causes, has not merely an historical interest : it has an important bearing on the culture of women in the present day.
