LADY'S MAGAZINE,

For JULY, 1804.

To the EDITOR of the LADY'S MAGAZINE.

SIR, MADAME de Genlis, in her Souvenirs de Felicie (Recollections of Felicia), has related that Mr. Gibbon, the celebrated historian, being in love with madame de Crousaz, had one day thrown him self on his knees before her, to express a passion which he could never prevail on her to encourage. Madame de Crousaz told him to rise; but he was so corpulent, that he could not, without assistance. She therefore called her maid, and bade her help Mr. Gibbon up.

A friend of madame de Crousaz, who has frequently met with Mr. Gibbon at her house, has pablished, in a late French journal, a true statement of the fact, which is not a little misrepresented in the above account. I send you a translation of this anecdote, not only because every thing relative to so great a man as Mr. Gibbon deserves attention, but because it contains a disquisition on a subject which, if some of your fair, or some of your learned correspondents, whether fair or not, would take into their serious consideration, and favour the world with the result of their reflexions, through the medium of your entertaining Miscellany, it

would, I have no doubt, be er-
tremely agreeable to many of your
readers, as well as to
Your occasional Correspondent,
LUCILLA.
Isleworth, June 13

Mr. Gibbon was one day with madame de Crousa7; and, conversing on the merit of some dramatic pieces- It has always appeared to me extraordinary,' said he, to observe with what facility we accommodate ourselves to theatrical illusions, to certain things admitted on the stage and in romances, and which appear very natural, and do not surprise us, though we see nothing similar in common life.'

Will you give an instance?' said madame Crousaz.

• I shall instance,' answered Mr. Gibbon, in the action of kneeling. Every day we see on the stage a. lover kneeling to the woman he loves; and there is not a romance in which a lover does not go on his knees twenty times. Now this does not appear at all strange to you, though neither you nor any other woman ever saw a man kneel to a woman, however violently
