PREFACE

       Table des matières

      The test of this edition is reprinted without alteration from that of the "Collection Guillaume" (E. Flammarion, Paris, publisher).

      "Tartarin de Tarascon" should be read by high-school students at the end of their second or in their third year and by college students at the end of the first or in the second year.

      It is with great pleasure that I express my indebtedness for many suggestions to my friend Professor W.F. Giese of the University of Wisconsin.
