C'est dans la langue de Rabelais que M. Charles De Coster a écrit ses Légendes flamandes.

En ces labyrinthes philologiques il est facile d'errer. Balzac, dans ses Contes drôlatiques, commet à chaque instant des fautes graves et montre qu'il connaît assez mal la langue et l'orthographe anciennes qu'il a prétendu reproduire.
