Excerpt from Etudes Françaises Et AnglaisesScherer never in his lifetime or in his own country attained the rank of a popular writer, but by those who know, both at home and abroad, he was recog nized as a leading authority in European literature, and since his death his reputation has steadily grown. For Englishmen he has a special interest. He had English blood in his veins, he spoke our language perfectly, he knew our country and its institutions, and he had profoundly studied our literature. Against the gibe of an English critic that a bibliomaniac collector of second editions could procure no single volume of Scherer may be set the high compliment that Matthew Arnold paid him in selecting two of Scherer's Etude: as the text for his discourses on Milton and on Goethe.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
