John James Audubon’s Birds of America (1826-1838) is the finest ornithological work ever published. Its 435 hand-coloured plates depict 495 species, 25 of which Audubon discovered himself. Less than 200 sets were completed & still fewer survive today.

Ο Μήτρος Πέτροβας (1745-1838), θεωρούνταν το καλύτερο ντουφέκι της Πελοποννήσου (σκοπευτής). Σε ηλικία 76 ετών στο Βαλτέτσι του ετοίμαζαν 2-3 στρατιώτες όπλα για να μην καθυστερεί και αυτός «κατέβαζε» ασταμάτητα ιππείς εν κινήσει.

Le 26 décembre 1838, Stendhal termine "La Chartreuse de Parme".

Dans son roman (élaboré en un peu de plus de 7 semaines), l'auteur donne une vision idéalisée de l'Italie, représenté comme un pays de bonheur et de passion. Publié en mars 1839, il aura peu de succès à sa sortie.
