Excerpt from Corneille and His Times I have reprinted, in the presentvolume, ' one of the first works of my-youth, a work published for the first time in 1813, nearly forty years ago' I have made many changes in it, and I was tempted to change much more. So many years, and suchyears, develope in the mind entirely new views npon all subjects, upon literature as well as life and no one is ignorant of the discoveries which we may make by changing our horizon, without changing our ideas. Perhaps, therefore, I ought to have te-written my work. I did not wish to do so. A book must exist and last out its time as it is. This book is, if I mistake not, a faithful image of the spirit which pre 'vailed, forty years ago, in literature, among the men who cultivated it, and the public who loved it.
