This Is A New Release Of The Original 1901 Edition.
The Hotel de Rambouillet has been called the "cradle of polished
society," but the personality of its hostess is less familiar than
that of many who followed in her train. This may be partly due to
the fact that she left no record of herself on paper. She aptly
embodied the kind advice of Le Brun. It was her special talent to
inspire others and to combine the various elements of a brilliant
and complex social life.

It has been a labor of love with many distinguished Frenchmen to
recall the memories of the women who have made their society so
illustrious, and to retouch with sympathetic insight the features
which time was beginning to dim. One naturally hesitates to enter a
field that has been gleaned so carefully, and with such brilliant
results, by men like Cousin, Sainte-Beuve, Goncourt, and others of
lesser note. But the social life of the two centuries in which
women played so important a role in France is always full of human
interest from whatever point of view one may regard it. If there is
not a great deal to be said that is new, old facts may be grouped
afresh, and old modes of life and thought measured by modern
standards.
