"The difference between the tone and language of the court and that of the city was about as great as that between Paris and the provinces."] [Footnote 3314: Hence the lack of success of the Maupeou parliament.] [Footnote 3315: See the collections of songs previous to the Revolution, especially military songs such as "Malgre la bataille,"-- "Dans les gardes francaises," etc .-- At the time of the Restoration, the pastoral or gallant songs of Florian, Bouffiers and Berquin were still sung in bourgeois families, each person, young or old, man or woman, singing one at the dessert.

This undercurrent of gayety, geniality and amiability lasted throughout the Revolution and the Empire.
