EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE, 1878], 1878. Page 119, "In the three halls devoted to French Sculpture, there were no less that [sic.] 389 works, executed by 189 scupltors. It will, therefore, plainly be impossible to do more than a glance at the principal ones for the limit of this paper are to restricted to do more. This large number of works and of sculptors plainly indicates, however, the warm interest thers is in France in this branch of art, and the large patronage that is given."
