Book synopsis

Excerpt from Prosper Mérimée's Letters to an Incognita Lamartine, Mérimée, and George Sand have added such brilliancy to the French literature of the present century, that their association in this volume is entirely natural and calls for no explanation or justification. Alphonse de Lamartine was born at Macon on the Saone, on the 21st of October, 1792, and died in February, 1869; Prosper Mérimee was born in Paris in 1803, and died in Cannes, September 23, 1870; George Sand (Madame Dudevant, whose maiden name was Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin) was born in Paris on July 1st, 1804; and happily, the date of her death cannot yet be named. The extraordinary brilliancy of the literary reputation of Lamartine, conjoined with the great influence which he at one time exerted in French politics, make him unquestionably the most prominent of the trio.
