“In "Adieux à la Campagne", "Souvenirs du Peuple", "La Déesse de la Liberté", "La Convoi de David", A melancholy pathos breathes, which touches the heart the more that it is so unpretending”

Fuller, Margaret. "Notes on Balzac, George Sand, De Vigny, and Béranger." Houghton Library, Harvard University.

They share a quality of 'melancholy pathos.' Cataloged as one row since they receive a single grouped comment; all are distinct chansons within the Chansons collection.
