    The creation , of the University , which , as we shall see , still plays a most important part in the work of Education in France , was

    thus , as is remarked by M . E . Hendu , the result in part of the desires put forth bthe Councils-General in 1800 mentioned

    of above Turin , and ; and in part its , constitution also y , of the embodied visit of Bonap the arte princi to ples the , laid Univer down sity

    by the Councils-General , with the exception of the provisions which the latter would have introduced for the spread of education among

    the masses ; an innovation which Bonaparte was by no means anxious to introduce . A sketch of the nature of this institution ,

    of the modifications it has undergone up to the present day , and of its working at the present timewill form the subject of my

    , next Paper . But before terminating the present sketch , I must acknowledmy obligations to the admirable treatise on the

    Part II . Great misfortunewhich as rarely passes unobserved as great

    , prosperity , had attracted observation to Frau von Hecke ; and , retired as was her life , some gentle praises were heard of her in the

    country around , and at last reached the husband who had so rudely thrust her away from his home . Strangers saw what he had been

    blind to ; and when the public voice told him what a treasure he had thrown away , with selfish regret he requester ! her to return

    to his house . She expressed her good will towards him in the most friendly way , but showed a decided disinclination to comply

    with his desire ; and , in the irritation of the moment , he demanded a formal separation , which was quickly accorded , to be followed ,

    on his part , by the deepest repentance at having thus given up the last hope of renewing conjugal relations with her , although she still

    continued to be his faithful counsellor and friend .
