Claude Fauriel, Constant remarks ‘My friends in Scotland are urging me [to go

- Constant admired and envied his friends Ludwig Ferdinand and Therese Huber for
their happy marriage, seeing in it, as Etienne Hofmann has said, ‘a guarantee of
peace of mind, stability, security and permanence, that is to say the ingredients of
what [Constant] calls happiness’ (Benjamin Constant, lettres à Louis-Ferdinand et à
Thérèse Huber (1798–1806)’, ed. Etienne Hofmann, Cahiers staëliens, nos 29–30
