Summary
Informing her that he regards M. de Goncourt's book as a "capital subject" for her to write on (for publication in the Edinburgh Review) and discussing the length and time frame of the article; noting that he would like to review M. de Barante's Histoire du Directoire (1855), and saying that he "had intended to have an article on it, but we found it too heavy."; asking that she restrict herself to discussing the state of French society under the Directoire, as he has plans for other articles "which might clash with yours."
