Paris Sketches: Part I. From the German of Max Nordau. From the Preface: It is an old experience that the foreign panegyrists of Paris are far more French than the French themselves, and usually admire most fervently and imitate most zealously those sides of Parisian life that are by all serious and patriotic Frenchmen most deeply deplored and most energetically combatted.
