At least Walpole was aware of the dullness of his eureka moment: \u201cI have nothing better to tell you,\u201d he writes, before launching into the fascinating etymology of his new word.

P.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Her serene highness, the Great Duchess Bianca Capello, is arrived safe at a palace lately taken for her in Arlington Street \u2026 I have bespoken a frame for her, with the grand-ducal coronet at top, her story on a label at bottom, which Gray is to compose in Latin, as short and expressive as Tacitus \u2026 the Medici arms on one side, and the Capello\u2019s on the other \u2026 in an old book of Venetian arms, there are two coats of Capello, who from their <em>name <\/em>bear a <em>hat<\/em>; on one of them is added a <em>fleur-de-lis <\/em>on a blue ball, which I am persuaded was given to the family by the Great Duke, in consideration of this alliance; the Medicis, you know, bore such a badge at the top of their own arms. This discovery I made by a talisman, which Mr. Chute calls the <em>Sortes Walpoliance<\/em>, by which I find every thing I want, <em>a pointe nomm\u00e9e<\/em>, whenever I dip for it. This discovery, indeed, is almost of that kind which I call <em>Serendipity<\/em>, a very expressive word, which, as I have nothing better to tell you, I shall endeavor to explain to you: you will understand it better by the derivation than the definition. I once read a silly fairy tale, called \u201cThe Three Princes of Serendip\u201d: as their Highnesses travelled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of: for instance, on the them discovered that a mule blinds of the right eye had travelled the same road lately, because the grass was eaten only on the left side, where it was worse than on the right\u2014now do you understand <em>Serendipity<\/em>? One of the most remarkable instances of this <em>accidental sagacity<\/em>, (for you must observe that <em>no <\/em>discovery of a thing you <em>are <\/em>looking for comes under this description,) was of my Lord Shaftsbury, who, happening to dine at Lord Chancellor Clarendon\u2019s, found out the marriage of the Duke of York and Mrs. Hyde, by the respect with which her mother treated her at table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Horace Walpole coined the word serendipity in a letter to another Horace\u2014Mann\u2014dated January 28, 1754.
