- »* Ralfih Heathcote, the son of an English jather and an Alsatian mother, ■was for
some time in the English diplomatic service as first secretary to Mr. Brook Taylor, minister at the Court of Hesse, and on one occasion found himself z'cry near to making history. Napoleon became persuaded that Taylor was i>npHcated in a plot to procure his assassina- tion, ajid insisted on his dismissal from the Hessian Court. As Taylor refused to be dismissed, the incident at one time seemed likely to result to tlte Elector in the loss of his throne. Heat/uote came into contact with a nuinber of notable people, including the Miss Berrys, with whom he assures his mother he is not in lo7'e. On the whole, there is much interesting vtaterialfor lovers of old letters and journals.
