Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

At Angoulême David Séchard is betrayed on all sides but is supported by his loving wife. He invents a new and cheaper method of paper production: thus, at a thematic level, the commercialization of paper-manufacturing processes is very closely interwoven with the commercialization of literature. Lucien's forgery of his brother-in-law's signature almost bankrupts David, who has to sell the secret of his invention to business rivals. Lucien is about to commit suicide when he is approached by a sham Jesuit priest, the Abbé Carlos Herrera: this, in another guise, is the escaped convict Vautrin whom Balzac had already presented in Le Père Goriot. Herrera takes Lucien under his protection and they drive off to Paris, there to begin a fresh assault on the capital.

Excerpt from Lost Illusions: The Two Poets, And, Eve and David Séchard was formerly a journeyman printer, of the kind which the workmen whose dutv it was to collect the letters called, in typographic Slang, a bear. The incessant coming and going and turning, very like that of a bear in his cage, with which the pressmen moved from the ink to the press, and from the press to the ink, was no doubt the origin of the nickname In return, the bears called the compositors monkeys, on account Of the agility with which those gentry were obliged to catch up the letters from the hundred and fifty little cases which contained them. At the dis astrous period of the Revolution, Séchard, then about fifty years old, was lately married. His age and his marriage saved him from the great draft which swept nearly all'the workmen of France into the army. The old pressman was left alone in the printing-othee, the master of which (otherwise termed the had just died, leaving a widow and two children. The establishment seemed threatened with immediate col lapse. The solitary bear could not be transformed into a monkey for the reason that, in his capacity as a press man, he had not known how to read or write. At this juncture a representative of the people, eager to dis tribute the noble decrees of the Convention, bestowed upon the pressman, without paying any heed to his incapacity, the license of a master-printer, and gave him the work to do.
