  1. One who writes for the feuilleton of a French newspaper. If a great university deliberately discourages high linguistic attainments, and reserves her honours and places for smart but shallow feuilletonists, rash and pretentious theorists—in a word, for utterers of literary false coin—and vendors of literary wares which were chiefly meant to sell, what place is England likely soon to hold in the world of letters and learning? Fortnightly Rev., N. S., XLIII. 57.
