Til i-: lr. lninsrV Trip. Space prohibits any thing further than a brief synopsis of Dr. Fling's trip abroad. Jitter we hope to publish a fuller account. Dr. Fling reports a most delightful sea voyage to France., even remarkable in the fact that no one on board suffered from sickness. Until July loth Prof, and Mrs. Fling work ed in the ' 'Archives of Foreign Affairs." using, among other records, the correspondence of the French minister in London. Here of course they found some very valuable original material on the life of Mirabeau. July loth they left Paris and visited several places of interest including Tout's. This part of the trip was spent principally in study ing the geography of the country and obtain ing photographs. Two days were spent at the llede lie in visiting the citadel, now used as a convict prison, where Mirabeau was con fined. A visit was also made to the house of th i Governor who ruled the island in the time of Mirabeau. At the llede lie he met two historians who had discribed the life of Mira beau at It: and from one of them obtained a letter to an historian at Salutes. II "re he saw the tower wheiv Mirabeau was confined and the hous: in which he lived. He then visited Bordeaux and Pan. While at Pau Dr. Fling wrote a review of a French work on the Involution. This review will appear in the next issue of the "American Historical lieview' He next visited Careassone. perhaps one of iHie best preserved, fortified medieval cities. At Marseilles he saw the chateau dTf, author of the Mirabeau prisons. In the Provence he visited Aix. the place where Mirabeau lived for -soiiri tim? and Avas murrie-tl. "While lh?re ho met a man who had made a special study of Mirabeau for over forty years, and through him obtained the use of a great deal of valu able material and the promise of further help 1IESPEIUAN .- there sailed for America. Dr. Fling procured many valuable pictures: but the thing which delighted him most was the discovery of an unpublished manuscript of lo pages, written by Mirabeau himself. This manuscript will furnish some very valuable material on the life of Mirabeau and his relations to the gov ernment. Dr. Fling's trip abroad brought the University of Nebraska into prominence in Franca, because of the necessity of obtain ing permission from the French minister to use the material in the Archives and to obtain entrance to the prison.
