Synopsis

Excerpt from Horae Sabbaticae: Reprint of Articles Contributed to the Saturday Review

M. DE sainte-beuve says that J oinville is the best representative 'of the age which we like to represent to ourselves as the golden age of the good Old time. If this happy period ever existed in the past, it was in the reign of Saint Louis, during the fifteen years of peace under the shadow of the oak in the forest Of Vincennes.' Joinville certainly gives us a vivid glimpse of this past age. It is, however, only a glimpse, and before the figures of the picture can be fully appreciated, it is necessary to Sketch slightly the frame in which they must be set.
