Excerpt from L'Orfèvrerie Française aux Xviiie Et Xixe Siècles (1700-1900) Ne nous batons pas de medire de notre temps. Assurement, il faut deplorer que, dans le bouleversement des idees et des choses, l'art et les metiers aient ete violemment separes par un divorce dont les consequences ont ete si facheuses. Mais quand on fait la part des causes superieures, et pour ainsi dire fatales, qui ont amene la transformation des conditions du travail, on comprend que des dirce tions nouvelles s'imposaient a l'industrie qui devait forcement changer de carac tere et d'objectif pour repondre a des necessites sociales completement nou velles.
