Brunetière

In order to comprehend this portrait and to see its resemblance, we, who knew our great Brunetiere, have only to think of him.

This Brunetiere implicitly admits when he says that most of Balzac's novels are, so to speak, inquiries,—collections of documents.

Brunetiere specifies the Marquis de Villemer as the one proved example of imitation.

Brunetiere accepts this testimony of a contemporary who himself frequented the salons of the great.

Brunetiere's estimate, given in a parenthesis, is not much more favourable.
