After the peace of Amiens in 1S02, her husband end the went to Paris; and 31. D'Arblay having given in his adhesion to the existing government, they remained in France. In 1812 however Madame D'Arblay found means to pass over to her own country ; and she had thus the satisfaction of again seeing her father, who survived till 1814, when ho died at the age of eighty-raven. Meanwl.ile she had in the same year published her fourth and last novel, ' The Wanderer, or Female Difficulties,' in five volume's, for which the bookseller is said to have given her 15001.; but it met with little success. and is considered the poorest of her p rformances. On the restoration of the Bourbons her husband was raised to the rank of general. and in 1814 Madame D'Arblay joioed him in Paris. On the return of Napo leon in 1815 General D'Arblay set out for his regiment, and urged his wife to leave Paris at once. She did so, and tells the tale of her escape to Brussels in her 'Diary' with all the sentimentality of one of her own heroines. They met again at Brussels just previous to the battle of Waterloo, but on the return of the Bourbons, M. D'Arblay, who had been injured by the kick of a horse, determined to take up his residence in England. They settled in Bath, where in 1818 the general died. In 1632 she once more came before the world through the press with three octavo volumes of 'Memoirs' of her r father, Dr. Burney. This work was unlike anything she had previously written, as much in manner as in subject ; instead of the flueut, familiar style of her novels, she surprised her former readers and the public in general by a pompous, indirect, long-winded, dmwliog diction, apparently intended as an improvement upon Johnson or Gibbon, but having rather the effect of a ludicrous though unintentional caricature. The book however contains many interesting anecdotes. In 1837 Madame D'Arblsy lost her son, the only issue of her marriage, the Rev. Alexander Charles Louis D'Arblay ; he was a fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge, end perpetual curate of Camden Town Chapel, and ho had published several "single sermons. Her own death followed at Bath on the 6th of January 1840. From 1835 to the period of her death, her health bad been failing, and she suffered from a disorder iu the eyes, which rendered reading and writing painfuL The entries in her 'Diary ' became few, and there is no entry beyond 1839. In 1842 five volumes of her 'Diary and Letters,' edited by her niece, were published, and the work was completed in two more iu 1846, and it has since been reprinted. This 'Diary,' though much of it is frivolous
enough, is on the whole an extremely curious record. It commences in 1778 with her account of the publication of 'Evelina,' and of her feeliugs ou the reception of the flattery which poured in on her from every aide. Her description of the domestic life of George IlL and his family, of the miseries and fatigues attendant on her own position in it, of the absurd formalities observed, as inconvenient to the exacters as to the sufferers, forms a highly interesting portion of it; and many of the conversations recorded do not surpass in intelligence or polish some of those introduced Into her novels. On the whole, the picture it presents of several departments of English life and society in the latter part of the last century is the most ample and the moat distinct that has anywhere been given.

Educated for the profession of medicine, ho received the degree of Doctor in 1841, taking for his thesis on examination the anatomy and physiology of Galen. His labours appear to have been thus early directed to the course he has since sedulously followed, a development of the medical and surgical practice and theories of the ancients. In 1843 he was appointed librarian of the Acadtmie de MI:keine, and in 1845 was charged with a mission to Germany and Belgium to procure the materials for a grand collection of Greek and Latin medical works, and for a history of the literature of medical science. In 1847.48 he visited England with the same object. In the latter year he delivered a course of lectures on the history of this literature of medical 'science. In the following year he was appointed librarian of the 3lazarine library. Since that time M. Denenberg has paid repeated visits to England, Germany, and Italy, in connection with the many important works he has published, either alone ur in connection with others. The following are a few of them: 'Exposition des Conuaissancea de Millen cur l'Anatomio et la I'hyaiologie du systbine nerveux; 1841 ; (Euvres choiaios d'Ilippocrate,' 1843, second edit. 1855; Trait6 our lo Pouts, attribui h Rufus d'Ephbce; 1846; 'Fragments du Com mentaire do Gallen cur le Tim6e de Platen,' 1847; (Euvree de °ribose,' 2 vole. 1851.54, by himself and Dr. Bussemaker, with several others on cognate subjects, and some translations from the German.
