Excerpt from The Extraordinary Voyage in French Literature From 1700 to 1720 In The Extraordinary Voyage in French Literature before 1700, I have acknowledged my indebtedness to M. Danson for his original suggestion of this field of research and for his continued interest while I was preparing that study for publication. It is a pleasure to acknowledge here the more recent inspiration and advice received from M. Lanson in the summer of 1920. His suggestions for this second book, at a time when I was reading in Paris and had access to the original documents, have been invaluable.
