COSMOPOLIS
By PAUL BOURGET
With a Preface by JULES LEMAITRE, of the French academy,
PAUL BOURGET
Born in Amiens, September 2, 1852, Paul Bourget was a pupil at the Lycee Louis le Grand, and then followed a course at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes, intending to devote himself to Greek philology. He, however, soon gave up linguistics for poetry, literary criticism, and fiction.
