For example: the Meditations of Lamartine, of which sixty thousand copies were sold; the Ruins by Volny, etc. "Accordingly, this is the spirit in which my book is conceived, a book which the janitor's wife and the fashionable lady can both read. I have taken the New Testament and the Catechism, two books of excellent quality, and have wrought my own from them.
