Letters of Alexander von Humboldt to Varnhagen von Ense

102 Humboldt to Varnhagen

Berlin, October 2d, 1845.

I would not like, my dear friend, that a friend of Thiers, whom he has warmly recommended to me, should leave Berlin without having had the pleasure of seeing you. Mr. Thomas, one of the editors of the “Revue des deux Mondes,” is the author of a most remarkable work on the ancient provincial constitutions of France, compiled from archives. I recommend him to your indulgence.

Yours, in great haste,
          A. v. Humboldt.
