Book synopsis

Excerpt from White Lies, Vol. 1 of 3: A Story "White Lies" is a reprint. In its first stage simple souls wrote to the publisher, 'This is a French translation; just look at the idioms!' It is something to be a biped: the quadruped of this species could not take a well for a puddle. As if the smallest master could not Anglicize French or any other language: vide 'Clouds and Sunshine,' which is French Anglicized. But a voice from the Public is not to be neglected: nor can I afford to let an error of this sort defeat my great labour, and rob a reader of any pleasure or profit it might otherwise give him. A French theme has been selected, French sources drawn upon, and French idioms sprinkled, on one principle of art. True art is a severe battle, not only against egotism, but against monotony.
