d on the 18th of August, and his body was
interred in the churchyard of Pere la Chaise. His old friend and
colleague, M. GAIL, pronounced a funeral discourse over his grave--in
which, as may be well supposed, his feelings were most acutely
excited. I subjoin a facsimile of Millin's autograph: from the richly
furnished collection of Mr. Upcott, of the London Institution.

[161] [Mons. Langles survived the above account between five and six years;
dying January 28, 1824. His Library was sold by auction in March,
1825. It was copious and highly creditable to his memory. From the
source whence the preceding autograph was derived, I subjoin the
following autograph.

[162] Monsieur Millin had been before hand in his description of this day's
festival, but his description was in prose. It appeared in the
_Annales Encyclopediques_, for the ensuing month, July, 1818, and was
preceded by a slight historical sketch of the Club, taken chiefly from
the Bibliographical Decameron. His account of the festival may amuse
some of my readers, who have not been accustomed to peruse _English
toasts_ cloathed in French language. It is briefly thus:

"Pendant que les membres du Roxburghe Club celebroient le 17 juin 1818
la memoire des premiers imprimeurs de Boccace, a Venise et en
Angleterre, sous la presidence de sa grace lord Spencer; M. Dibdin,
vice-president, s'unissoit a ce banquet bibliographique par une
repetition qu'il en faisoit a Paris. Il avoit appele a ce banquet M.
DENON, a qui la France doit encore une grande partie des manuscrits et
des editions rares dont elle s'est enrichie, et plusieurs
conservateurs de la bibliotheque royale, MM. VANPRAET, LANGLE'S, GAIL,
et MILLIN. On pense bien que l'histoire litteraire, la bibliographie,
devinrent un inepuisable sujet pour la conversation. L'entretien
offrit un melange de gaite et de gravite qui convient aux banquets des
muses; et selon l'adage antique, les convives etoient plus que trois
et moins que neuf. M. Gail lut sur cette reunion des vers latins, dont
les toasts bruyans ne permirent pas de savourer d'abord tout le sel et
l'esprit. Ils doivent etre imprimes dans _l'Hermes Romanus_.

"M.D., amphitryon et president du festin, porta, comme il convenoit,
les premiers toasts:
