Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Prints of the Eighteenth Century In the following pages an attempt has been made to supply clear and reliable information likely to prove of use to those interested in French engravings of the eighteenth century. Up to the present no work written in English has appeared, dealing with the subject from the collector's point of view. The late Lady Dilke wrote with much erudition and artistic judgment of the French draughtsmen and engravers of the period, but her admirable work scarcely touched on the question of "states," and made no attempt to discuss the decorative value of the various prints. Amongst the chief sources drawn upon in compiling the present volume must be mentioned Les Graveurs du dix-huitieme siecle, by Baron Portalis and M. Beraldi, and Dessins, gouaches, estampes et tableaux du dix-huitieme siecle by M. Bourcard. These valuable contributions to the literature of art are monuments of careful research and unimpeachable accuracy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Illustrated Books: Of the Eighteenth Century "The Illustrated Book attained pre-eminence in France about the middle of the eighteenth century. This fact is due to the subtle and refined art of a whole series of petits maitres (wonderful interpreters of French taste), admirably seconded by a veritable phalanx of skilful engravers from the school of Cars, Lebas, Basan, Wille, and Gravelot. The last-named had visited England (where he illustrated Shakespeare) and knew how to pose his diminutive figures effectively. "Eisen, a Parisian to his finger-tips, though of Flemish origin, possessed a pencil of seductive loveliness; Cochin forsook his ambitious designs of Fetes to devote his time to the adornment of books; Moreau, the younger, was perhaps the most expert of all in knowledge and certainty of execution, and Marillier inimitable in the vignette. Boucher, Choffard, Monnet, Freudeberg, Queverdo, and many others also created masterpieces of elegance." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Memories of Eighteenth-Century America If the reader be not pleased with the following sketch of early American customs, he should blame a certain ancient sofa, and not the author! For it was the said sofa that caused these lines to be written, and it came about in this way: Among some old furniture handed down in our family is an unusually long mahogany sofa, upon which, says tradition, General Lafayette frequently sat when he came to take tea. Tradition further alleged that in the memoirs of some Frenchman (name not given) this fact was set forth at length. Curiosity to read what this unknown had to say upon the subject led through such pleasant literary country that soon the original purpose of the quest gave way to a constantly growing interest in these memoirs and records of the last quarter of the eighteenth century, from the battle of Lexington till the transfer of the Federal Government to the city of Washington.

Book excerpt: The hurdy-gurdy, or vielle, has been part of European musical life since the eleventh century. In eighteenth-century France, improvements in its sound and appearance led to its use in chamber ensembles. This new and expanded edition of The Hurdy-Gurdy in Eighteenth-Century France offers the definitive introduction to the classic stringed instrument. Robert A. Green discusses the techniques of playing the hurdy-gurdy and the interpretation of its music, based on existing methods and on his own experience as a performer. The list of extant music includes new pieces discovered within the last decade and provides new historical context for the instrument and its role in eighteenth-century French culture.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of French Literature in the Eighteenth Century Let us not consider as mere chance, gentlemen, a state of mind, which is easily explained. The seventeenth century is the logical sequence, the natural production of the sixteenth. In reference to philosophy and thought in general, the human mind always proceeds in this manner: it makes progress by antithesis and reaction, and resembles the pendulum, which unceasingly oscillates from right to left and from left to right. But the pendulum moves in a fixed space, and the value of one of its oscillations is constantly compensated by that of the other, while the action and reaction of the human mind do not entirely destroy each other, some quantity remains, and these quantities, added together, make up the sum of its progress. At the first glance, man seems to us to undo to the same extent what he has already done; but if we extend the field of our observation, we shall be convinced of the real and gradual advancement of human nature. Whether this advancement is for good or evil, is a different question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
