To the whole impression the last hand was
put in the Attic of Lansdowne House, in
which residence & in that part of it, I had taken up my abode
for the facility of communication with
my friend & subsequent translator & Editor
Stephen Etienne &c Dumont whose chamber was contiguous
to the one then occupied by me.
Anxiously attentive to the work throughout its
progress was my Noble Host. At length the
glad tidings reached him that the impression
in its several parts had reached his garret:
up he came, put together a hundred copies &
down he went with them on his shoulders.
Barthélémy, the French Minister, was then
sttg sitting in one of the rooms on the
ground floor. Into the room went Lord
Lansdowne & threw down deposited his burden at
the feet of the Diplomatist. "Take charge
of these books" said he, "& send them to the
Duc de la Rochefoucault". That Duke
was a friend & occasional correspondent of
Lord Lansdowne's. Birth, fortune, & rank,
talents, virtue, all taken together, he was
in those days generally regarded & spoken of
as the first man in all France.
