Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from H. A. Taine: Edited With English Notes and Introductory Notice
I have purposely abstained from dilating about Mon sieur taine's style. The youthful readers of this Selection will soon find out how admirably agar it is, how every word stands in the right place, when no other word will do. If perchance any older reader stumbles upon this Selection, Iwould strongly recommend him not to be content with judging of our author by the few specimens gathered here, but to read and study him in extenso.
