Excerpt from Memoirs of the Duchesse De Dino: Afterwards Duchesse De Talleyrand Et De Sagan, 1836-1840 Paris, January 2, 1836.-m. De Talleyrand is working hard to advance the claims of M. Mole to a seat in the French Academy. He is supported alike by M. Boyer-collard and by the Ministers; hence M. De Villemain found occasion to say, yesterday evening, that all the most diverse and inverse influences were in combination to transport or to export M. Mole' to the Academy, and that he himself was strongly in favour of importation, as a seat in the Academy was no obstacle to other posts. This play on words was no less pointed than malicious.
