UNDERGROUND MAN

It reflects not at all on Mr Cloudesley Breretons admirable work of translation to remark how subtly the spirit of such work as this of M. Tardes changes in such a process. There are certain things peculiar, I suppose, to every language in the world, certain distinctive possibilities in each. To French far more than to English, belong the intellectual liveliness, the cheerful, ironical note, the professorial playfulness of this present work.
