He returned to Paris on the breaking out of the war in 1812, and for two years the public knew nothing of him. He forsook the salons^ and was seldom seen in the chambers of his scientific associates. Even his old friend Bonpland, to whom Kapoleon had granted a pension, and whom Josephine, whose heart he had won by a col- lection of flower-seeds from the West Indies, had made intendant of Malmaison, saw but little of him. He was busy with his travels, finishing from memory and imagi- nation his ...wonderful picture of the tropics. How he must have enjoyed reading his journals, written on the spur of the moment years before ; this page on the deck of the Pizarro, with the sea around him, that on the crater of Teneriffe, with the heavens above him, and that in Caracas, dear dangerous Caracas, which an earthquake had just tumbled in ruins ! It was as good as a second journey to the tropics. It was eight 3^ears since his return to Europe, and during all that time he had brooded over his task.
