Excerpt from Old Paris, Vol. 1 of 2: Its Court and Literary Salons French writers generally as the most brilliant period in the history of their nation. It has been termed the epoch of the true great ness of F rance, the true Renaissance of lit erature and [er beaux arts. It is indeed a period of very varied and romantic interest. Woman played an impor tant part in it - contributing largely towards the reform then achieved in the French language, and in the corrupt and gross manners of the age, and introducing into the social relations of life that peculiar grace, fascinating ease, vivacity, and undefinable charm still vainly sought for in society out of France.
