[Madame de Staël's Considérations sur la Révolution Française was offered to Murray in June, 1816 (Memoir, etc., 1891, i. 316), and the sum of £4000 asked for the work. During the negotiations, Madame de Staël died (July 14, 1817), and the book was eventually published by Messrs. Baldwin and Cradock.—Letters, 1900, iv. 94, note.]
