He had small inspira- tion, little breadth, but an astonishing art of drawing the greatest effect from his small store of poetic material. His qualities were of the second rank, and he succeeded, by industry in composition, in imposing them on his readers as qualities of the first order. He had only a feeble voice, but he managed it with incomparable art. Of singers of this type we say that they possess method, and the phrase is perfectly applicable to Beranger. He was thoroughly acquainted wit...h his own limitations, and used to say, "I am a tolerable minor poet. " He was, in fact, the prince of our minor poets, and this is no mean place, as is known, in literature.
