A table before In r was ... lo >ded with books, plmith, herbs, und dr xv ■ his iugs. She bat. on u slight elevation, and tlioso who enjoyed the mtiinacy of the Prin cess, or to whom she wished to speak in par ticular, were allowed, during such -sublime colloquy, to rest their knees on the little dais, or elevated place where her chair found its station, in u posture hdif standing, half kneel ing. Three other seats, of different heights xvero placed on tho dais, uud under the same canopy of state wh cli oversliuduwed that of the Princess Anna. The first, which strictly resembled her own chair in size and convenience, xvus once de signed for her husband, Nicepliorus Brien- nius. He was said to entertain or affect the greatest respect for hie wiles erudition, though the courtiers were, of opinion lie would have liked to absent himself from her evening par ties more frequently than xvus particularly u- greeably to the Princess Anna and her impe rial parents. This was partly explained hy the private tattle of the court, which averred that tho Princess Anna Comnena had been more beautiful when she wus less learned ; and that, though still a fino xvoamn, sho bad somewhat lost the charms of her person, us bhe became enricho < in her mind. To atone for (ho lowly fushion of the seat of Nicepliorus Brienniiis, it xv<is placed us near to his princess us it could possibly be edgod by ushffrs, so that sho might not lose one look of her handsome spouse, r.or lie the least particle of wisdom which might drop from tin’ lips of his erudite consort. Two other beats of honor, or rather thrones,—for they had footstools placed for the support ofthe cot, rests for the arms, and embroidered pillows for the coinfort of 1 he hack, not to mention the glories of tho outspreading canopy,—xvero destined for the imperial couple,who frequently attended their daughter’s studies, which she prosecuted in public jn the way we huvo intimated. On such occasions, the Empress Irene enjoyed the triumph pnciiliur to the mother of uu ac complished duughter, wlnlo Alexius, as it might huppeu, sometimes listened with coru pluconce to t he rehearsal of his own exploits in the influted language ofthe puncess, und sometimes mildly nodded overner dialogues upon tho rnvstcries of philosophy, with the Patriarch Zoi-imus, and other sages. All these four distinguished seats, for the persons of the imperial family, were occupied ut the moment which wo huvo described, ex cepting that which ought to huvo been filled by Nicepliorus Brienmus, tho husband of the fair Anna Comnena. To Ins negligence & ab sence! was perhaps owing the angry spot on the brow of his fair bride. Beside heron tho platform were two white-robed nymphs of her household ; female slaves, in a word, who reposed themselves on their knees on cush ions, when thoir assistance was int wanted as a specu s of living book-desks, to support and extend the parchment rolls, in which the princess recorded her own wisdom, Hay, Oats and Corn.
