ENGLISH PHILOLOGY 255 



Although in the provincial universities instruction in 

 English is not often carried into the higher branches, 

 the serious student will be sure to find lectures on some 

 subsidiary topic that will help him to understand the 

 life and the literature of the past. At Bordeaux, for 

 example, he may profit by the lectures of LE BRETON, 

 author of "Le Roman au xvn e Siecle," 1898, and 

 " Balzac, Fhomme et 1'oeuvre," 1905. If he is interested 

 in folklore, he may at Rennes hear the courses of 

 DOTTIN, known for his "Manuel d'irlandais moyen," 

 1913, and of LE BRAZ, author of "La Legende de la mort 

 chez les Bretons armoricains," 1893, and "Au Pays de 

 pardons," 1894. It is worthy of note that numerous 

 French scholars of literary eminence are unconnected 

 with a university, but teach in a "lycee," as for example 

 PELLISSIER, author of "Le Mouvement litteraire au xrx e 

 Siecle," 1899; and "Le Mouvement litteraire contempo- 

 rain," 1901.
