FRANCE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
1830-1890
BY
ELIZABETH WORMELEY LATIMER
NOTE
The sources from which I have drawn the materials for
this book are various; they come largely from private papers, and from articles
contributed to magazines and newspapers by contemporary writers, French,
English, and American. I had not at first intended the work for publication,
and I omitted to make notes which would have enabled me to restore to others
the "unconsidered trifles" that I may have taken from them.
As far as possible, I have endeavored to remedy this; but
should any other writer find a gold thread of his own in my embroidery, I hope
he will look upon it as an evidence of my appreciation of his work, and not as
an act of intentional dishonesty.
