Excerpt from Tales of Languedoc

The sole survivor of the story-tellers has, with much labor, furnished me with his own manuscripts, deline ating the tales in the vernacular, and supplying the connecting links.

Excerpt from Tales of Languedoc

The "Tales of Languedoc" are drawn from a fund of stories, sayings, and traditions, which came to me by birthright, along with the ancient Bible, the tall clock, and other heirlooms, carrying with them about the same sense of exclusive ownership. Whatever may have been their origin in common folk-lore, they formed an important part of the conviviality of the ancestral hearth from an early date, and for several generations have taken on the personality of the different narrators; so that, in their present form, I have come to regard them as my heritage of the unwritten literature of my native land - a heritage that has brought with it a responsibility in view of succession; for, to survive in a new world and with a new generation, oral traditions must take on a permanent form, verbal narration must be written, and the vernacular find an equivalent in the colloquial expressions of another language. To attempt so difficult a thing with only my own resources would be presumptuous. Besides the indelible impressions of a youth passed with a race of story-tellers, I have fortunately been able to command help of a more tangible nature, without which the collection would not be complete.
