These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Brother Jacques (Novels of Paul de Kock, Volume XVII): Look inside the book: This accident recalled Madame Volenville to life; she sneezed five times in rapid succession, rubbed her eyes, opened her mouth, swallowed a large quantity of snuff, made such horrible faces that they put to flight her husband and all the other persons who were near her, squirmed about and spat violently into the face of Monsieur Robineau, who at that moment withdrew his hand from under the bench and rose, swearing like the damned—who swear a great deal in this world, to say nothing of what they will do when they are roasting in hell like pork pies. ...But let us leave Terpsichore, Discord and all mythology; let us abandon metaphors and figures of speech; let us leave to the authors of octavo romances, flowers, cascades, the moon, the stars, and above all, those poetical inversions of language which tell you at the end of a sentence what the hero meant to say at the beginning; those delightful détours, whereby a father will say: “At last toward me stepped forth my daughter;” instead of saying simply: “My daughter stepped toward me;” which, in my judgment, would be much more clear, but which would resemble the ordinary way of talking in the world, in society; a vulgar jargon, which should not be employed by persons who live in underground dungeons without breaking their necks, or who constantly scale perpendicular cliffs without being tired when they reach the top.

NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS Brother Jacques: From Novels By Paul De Kock, Volume Xvii This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Reproduction of the original: Novels By Paul De Kock by Paul de Kock

Excerpt from The Works of Charles Paul De Kock, Vol. 1: Frere Jacques How delightfully it agitates the untried heart of the young girl, who sighs for the happy mo ment when she shall be the admired heroine of a like occasion, when she will carry the pretty white bridal bouquet and wear the owing veil of lace, and the wreath of orange owers, those odorous emblems of virginal purity. How melancholy, on the contrary, is the aspect of this ceremony for the young woman who has been married for only a few short years, but whose only knowledge of happiness is the memory of a too- eeting felicity, vanished never to return. She trembles for the fate of the poor little thing who is entering this state; she remembers the day of her own mar riage; She compares this day with those which have followed, and knows what confidence one should grant to the oaths of men. But let us drop these re ections, enter the Ca dran Bleu, and make acquaintance with the prin cipal personages of this assembly, whom probably we shall have occasion to meet again during the course of this history, even if this chapter has nothing to do with the action of our story, which is quite possible. It can be read with that under standing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
