Note 3 — V. THE ROMANTIC SCHOOL IN FRANCE (continued 6)
Mary Morison translation
The best appreciations of Beyle are Balzac's criticism of La Chartreuse; Taine's of Rouge et Noir; Mérimée's notice in the introduction to Beyle's Correspondance inédite, somewhat amplified in Portraits historiques; Colomb's biographical essay; Sainte-Beuve's two articles in the Causeries du Lundi, T. 9; Bussiere's article in Revue des deux Mondes of Jan. 15,1843; Zola's in Les Romanciers naturalists; and Paul Bourget's in Revue Nouvelle, August 15, 1882. Alfred de Bougy's Stendhal is mere plagiarism and self-assertion.
