Outing . to Italy—and toElba ; Catherine de Medici on her bridaljourney, Titian and Leonardo called tothe Court of Francis the Magnificent, Francis himself and Charles V., andthe Popes on their wild flight to Avi-gnon ; Petrarch, Cellini, Mirabeau andDanton, and the wild rabble that car-ried from Marseilles to Paris that great-est of all war-songs, the Marseillaise, leaving it like a firebrand behind themto inflame the country ; Byron andShelley, too ; Beau Brummel and his gaycrew making the grand tour ; Field-ing and Smollett, Chatham and Chester-field, and how many hundreds of others, for the mere fleeting glimpse of whom we would give our very ears to-day.But the amateur photographer, with hissnap-shot camera, was not then in ex-istence ; the kinetoscope had not beenevolved, and the only records we haveof those picturesque journeys are suchas may be culled from the dry pages ofthe historian.
