rank before the age of twenty-eight, when he was killed in a duel.

Page 623. The blind girl of Castel-Cuillè. Jasmin, the author of this beautiful poem, is to the South of France what Burns is to the South of Scotland, -the representative of the heart of the people, one of those happy bards who are born with their mouths full of birds (la bouco pleno d' aouzelous). He has written his own biography in a poetic form, and the simple narrative of his poverty, his struggles, and his triumphs is very touching. He still lives at Agen, on the Garonne; and long may he live there to delight his native land with native songs!

[When first printing this note, Mr. Longfellow added a long description of Jasmin and his way of life from Louisa Stuart Costello's Béarn and the Pyrenees. In more recent days Miss H. W. Preston has written sympathetically on the same subject. See The Atlantic Monthly, January, February, 1876.]

Page 628. A Christmas Carol.

[A description of Christmas in Burgundy from M. Fertiault's Coup d'Eil sur les Noels en Bourgogne, to the Paris edition of Les Noels Bourguignons de Bernard de la Mennoye (Gui Barôzai), 1842, was quoted by Mr. Longfellow when first printing this poem.]
