Excerpt from Specimens Of French Literature From Villon To Hugo

If in a collection printed from some hundreds of books and ms. Copies some mispri_nts have escaped my vigilance, I h0pe that the negligence will not be considered unpar donable.

In a lyrical anthology published recently by the Editor of this book, the adoption of the plan of indiscriminate French, English, and Latin titles provoked some criticism. Its object is however sufficiently obvious. Had all the titles been French, it would have been difficult to distinguish the originals from those supplied by the Editor in cases where either none existed or the originals were too general for the extract or unsuitable for other reasons.
