Excerpt from French Wit and Humor: A Collection From Various Sources Classified in Chronological Order and Under Appropriate Subject Headings
French wit is light, ephemeral; it is appreci ated but at a glimpse, in a flash; if you ponder on it you will find nothing or too much! The difference of geniuses of the races was the great obstacle; the difference of tongues was a secondary one; it precluded at once all play of words either on account of similitude of asso nance or of double meanings. Therefore the chronological order seemed the only effective one, so as to give a kind of kaleidoscopical view of French society, manners and state of mind, at the several important epochs of the French nation's life.
It has been said that English is the Latin and French the Greek of coming generations if this little book should in its feeble scope contribute to preserve the atticism, the sui generis fla vor of French thought and wit, it will accomplish its end.
