A man of refined taste, who caught the tone of the French sentiment of his time, has, of course, pleased French critics, and has been translated into French. “The Man of Feeling” begins with imitation of Sterne and proceeds in due course through so many tears that it is hardly to be called a dry book. (Summary by Henry Morley, the book's editor)
