particularly, by perfect resemblance. Still young, she can but add to
a reputation which in her diffidence and modesty she has scarcely
ventured to foresee. Mme. Tripier Le Franc and Mme. de Riviere have
become my daughters. They bring back all of a mother's feelings to me,
and their tender devotion spreads a beautiful charm over my existence.
It is among these two dear creatures and the friends who have been
spared me that I hope to end peacefully a wandering and even a
laborious but honest life.

APPENDIX
LIST OF MME. VIGEE LEBRUN'S PAINTINGS
[This list is as complete and accurate as the material available for
its compilation allowed. The authoress's own catalogue of her works,
which necessarily formed the principal source of information, is
itself conspicuous for errors and omissions. To rectify all of these
beyond doubt and make an absolutely perfect list would have been
impossible.]
