7th. Dr. Pantelioni then took up his abode at Nice, in the south of
France, and there pursued his profession.
Some years afterward, when making my last educational tour on the
Continent in 1867, I stopped a day with my son at Nice, and learned
that there was an Italian physician residing there, an exile from
Rome. I knew it must be my old physician and friend, and
immediately called upon him. We were, of course, both delighted to
see each other again; and he invited myself and son to spend the
evening at his house, which we did. He had, since I saw him at
Rome, married an English lady, who seemed in every respect worthy
of him.
When in the course of the evening I expressed my sympathy with him
in his exile, privation of his beautiful residence and fine
library, he replied with energy, bringing his hand down strongly on
the table, "I have such faith in the principles on which I have
acted, and in the providence of God, that I shall just as surely go
back to Rome, as that I am sure I am now talking to you." Some one
or two years afterwards I learned from the newspapers, that Dr.
Pantelioni had been recalled to Rome by the King of Italy, and
appointed to the head of all the Roman Hospitals.

In a letter from Dr. Ryerson dated London, 30th October, 1857, he said:
"On the 28th inst. we witnessed the consecration of Dr. Cronyn as Bishop
of Huron, and were afterwards invited to lunch with the Archbishop of
Canterbury. Several bishops were present. Afterwards we went with Dr.
Cronyn to Woolwich, and dined with him at his son-in-law's (Col.
Burrows)."
FOOTNOTES:
[147] These evening parties are conversazioni on a small scale. There
were no suppers, but cups of tea and biscuits, chiefly for ladies; the
gentlemen did not take off their gloves or sit down, but kept their hats
in their hands or under their arms. We were introduced to, and conversed
with various parties. Lady Grey seemed to be ubiquitous, and to know
everybody, and to make all feel at home. She is the widow of General
Grey, and is said to have been in early days a belle and bright star in
the highest London society.
