Chapter VII
M. Savarin was one of the most brilliant of that galaxy of literary men which shed lustre on the reign of Louis Philippe. His was an intellect peculiarly French in its lightness and grace. Neither England nor Germany nor America has produced any resemblance to it. Ireland has, in Thomas Moore; but then in Irish genius there is so much that is French. M. Savarin was free from the ostentatious extravagance which had come into vogue with the Empire.
