FRENCH & ENGLISH

A Comparison

PHILIP GILBERT HAMERTON

AUTHOR OF ‘THE INTELLECTUAL LIFE,’ ETC.

London
MACMILLAN AND CO.
AND NEW YORK
1889

In the years 1886 and 1887 the author contributed a series of seven articles to the Atlantic Monthly, which bore the title of the present volume, and are in great part absorbed in it. The book, however, is essentially new, as it contains much more matter than the articles, and the chapters are either hitherto unpublished or rewritten in a less desultory order.

This work is not intended to be historical. It only professes to compare the French and English of the second half of the nineteenth century.
