Lenoir, was M. Du Sommerard. All those, through- out intelligent Europe, who take an interest in ancient poetry, in the manners, the habits, the furniture, the costumes of former days, know the name of M. Du Sommerard. He was one of the first honorably to reinstate the thorough and minute study of the history of France. Of the nameless shreds, the worm-eaten remnants, the dust of ages collected at so great a price, M. Du Sommerard composed at once a poem and a history ; a poem full of ingenious... fictions, a history in positive proofs. M. Du Sommerard was avowedly the man of his fa- vorite passion. Although now by a recent law, the French Chamber of Deputies have adopted this noble museum, of which they have made a national glory, M. Du Sommerard had never felt the ambition of forming a museum, but simply an admirable collection of all kinds of forms, of relics, of tatters, which he alpne could understand. Before becoming a museum, his house was at first an immense accumulation of things, the future value of which, he well knew.
