[150] Memoirs of my Life, p. 55, n. (Ed. 1862).  Necker (1732-1804), whom Mdlle.  Curchod ultimately married, was an eager admirer of Rousseau.  “Ah, how close the tender, humane, and virtuous soul of Julie,” he wrote to her author, “has brought me to you.  How the reading of those letters gratified me! how many good emotions did they stir or fortify!  How many sublimities in a thousand places in these six volumes; not the sublimity that perches itself in the clouds, but that which pushes everyday virtues to their highest point,” and so on.  Feb. 16, 1761.  Streckeisen, i. 333.

[151] Boswell’s name only occurs twice in Rousseau’s letters, I believe; once (Corr., iv. 394) as the writer of a letter which Hume was suspected of tampering with, and previously (iv. 70) as the bearer of a letter.  See also Streckeisen, i. 262.
