...etchings on the heaviest India paper (a separate book with this Ed. gives portraits and histories of the artists selected, nearly all being medallists) making this Ed. by all odds the most beautiful and artistic Balzac extant. Translated by one person throughout and conceded by experts not only the purest translation but the most ideally French ever produced.

Bourget's who "rots in science, dimly feels his rottoness, defends it in syllogisms, and turns its foul breath on the purest flower in sight." For all this, Mr. Hapgood has a moral and comes to the conclusion that "our discontent with the conditions of our life is an ill-natured confession of personal littleness."
