Is sorry Ticknor will not be able to visit and see the Spanish manuscripts. Will avail himself of Ticknor's services in America if necessary.

Can give no information about the two children in question.

Thanks him for his greeting and his gift. Enjoyed meeting Mr. Norton. Longs to return to Italy.

Hendrik Petrus Berlage, the Dutch architect and architectural philosopher, created a series of buildings and a body of writings from 1886 to 1909 that were among the first efforts to probe the problems and possibilities of modernism. Although his Amsterdam Stock Exchange, with its rational mastery of materials and space, has long been celebrated for its seminal influence on the architecture of the 20th century, Berlage's writings are highlighted here. Bringing together Berlage's most important texts, among them "Thoughts on Style in Architecture", "Architecture's Place in Modern Aesthetics", and "Art and Society", this volume presents a chapter in the history of European modernism. In his introduction, Iain Boyd Whyte demonstrates that the substantial contribution of Berlage's designs to modern architecture cannot be fully appreciated without an understanding of the aesthetic principles first laid out in his writings.

Hopes to call on the Ticknors with Sir Charles Lyell.

Mr. Allston knew Madame de Stael. Speaks of her manuscript.

He will take great pleasure in seeing Mr. Ticknor.
