About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1813. Excerpt: ... replied the patriarch, "I am wretchedly old--could you not con trive to see all these gentlemen together?" M.

Je vous donne ma benediction. Signe, Voltaire, capucin indignc, et qui n'a pas encore eu de bonne fortune de capucin." P. 54, 55. We have very full details of the last days of this distinguished person. He came to Paris, as is well known, after 27 years' absence, at the age of 84; and the very evening he arrived, he recited himself the whole of his Iren...
