AN APPRECIATION OF FRENCH GENIUS
These profoundly sagacious studies and finely drawn portraits are of the greatest interest, not only in virtue of the author’s intimate knowledge of Paris and Parisian life (dating from 1869), but also because Mr Grierson is one of the few living Englishmen who thoroughly understand and appreciate the French Genius. The book will be an enduring delight to all lovers of fine literature.
Mr Richard Le Gallienne says:—“Mr Francis Grierson, cosmopolite and subtile critic of the arts, is one of those sudden new acquaintances that assume immediate importance in one’s world of thought.... Everywhere with remarkable rectitude of perception, Mr Grierson puts his finger on the real power, and it is always spiritual.”
The Spectator says:—“Mr Grierson has a right to speak, for he uses with success one of the most difficult of literary forms, the essay.”
