Fromentin

In 1781 he made a journey through Holland and Flanders, upon which, anticipating Fromentin, he wrote an exceedingly fine book.

Fromentin was singing,—a ribald marching song, an unprintable thing, salacious and vilifying the Boches.

There is, however, continues Fromentin, something in his works which compels respect.

Rather, says Fromentin, is it only a tour de force, a wonderful study.

It is an unpleasant confession to make, but the firm of Fromentin Freres will be made very poor by this loss of 60,000 pounds.
