Excerpt from Jean-Francois Millet and the Barbizon School Ince writing the study of jean-frangois Millet included in this book, it has been my good fortune to have verified my own convictions that the sorrows of the peasant-ipainter's life have been, by certain writers, very much exaggerated. While in conversation with a well-known collector and possessor of many beautiful pictures by Millet, I mentioned that the creator of a certain drawing, at which we were looking, could never have been as unhappy a man as Millet was generally represented to be. The answer that I received was, No, he was not always unhappy. Many a time have I talked at length with Madame Millet about her husband, and she assured me that at Barbizon Millet was far from unhappy: there he had everything that he wanted.

Excerpt from Jean-Francois Millet, Peasant and Painter The day of Sensier's funeral, it was decided among his family and friends that his manuscript, arranged and completed, should take the form of a volume. The manuscript was given to us in a not very good condition. Sensier told Millet's life up to 1864, but for the following ten years had only put together documents and notes, with here and there, and only for a few episodes, a little editorial work; and even in the advanced parts were many imperfect pages, which the writer, interrupted by illness, had left for quieter days - days which never came. We have performed our work without changing the thought of the chief editor, but allowing ourselves to correct some historical mistakes. We have used all the author's notes, and we can offer com plete, if not perfect, the manuscript which Sensier cared more for than for anything he had written, because it commemorated his dearest friend.
