Note 1 — Chapter XLII · FRANCE (continued)
Cecil N. Sidney Woolf translation
In England, the gravest writers think they give themselves a smart tone by quoting French words, which, for the most part, have never been French, except in English grammars. See the writers for the Edinburgh Review; see the Memoirs of the Comtesse de Lichtnau, mistress of the last King of Prussia but one.
