Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Simon A secret historian; a geometrician, diseased in body and mind; a good easy man, always dreaming, and treated as a dreamer, - there you have the three artists of the seventeenth century. They have startled and perhaps a little shocked us all. La F ontaine, the happiest, was the most perfect; Pascal, Christian and philosopher, the most elevated; Saint Simon, given up entirely to his fancy, is the most powerful and the most true. 1 This is high praise, coming as it does from an accomplished critic like M. Taine, and must sound strange to many who know little of Saint Simon beyond the fact that he wrote memoirs of Louis xiv.'s reign. Most of the great writers of that age are familiar names enough to us. La Fontaine's Fables, Pascal's 'pensées, ' Fenelon's Télémaque, ' the plays of Moliere and Racine.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of St. Simon Stock When the whole nation was laid under Interdict, as happened in the year 1208, the faithful, no matter how free from all culpa bility, were sure to feel the direful effects of the ecclesiastical ban. Local Interdicts, of rather frequent occurrence, brought the selfsame inconveniences to all who came within the sphere of the ecclesiastical sen tence The scandalous and irreligious con duct of King and Noble that called forth those Spiritual penalties was ill example to the great body of the people. In addition to the deprivation of the ordinary Spiritual helps for the people there was a partisan animosity begotten in the minds of many by those recurring contests.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Duc De Saint-Simon on the Times of Louis XIV, and the Regency, Vol. 4 of 4 They were scarcely seated before M. Le Duc arrived, and, an instant after, the Due d'orleans. After a short silence I saw the chief-president say a few words in a low voice to the Due d'orle'ans, and then, in a loud tone, send the deputa tion of parliament to fetch the king's will and its codicil, which had both been deposited in the same place. Silence continued during this great but short expectation; each man looked at the rest, but without stirring. We, the peers, were on the lower seats; the doors were supposed to be shut, but the audience chamber was crowded with inquisitive persons of all qualities and stations, and the numerous suites of those who took part in the session. The deputation was not long in returning. The will and the codicil were placed in the hands of the chief-president, Reading the who presented them, without yielding his hold king's will and upon them, to the Due d'orleans, after which he passed them from hand to hand along the judges to Dreux, counsellor of parliament, saying that Dreux read well and in a loud voice which would be heard by all from his seat, which. Was above that of the presi dents and near the window of the robing-room. It can be imagined in what silence we listened, and how all eyes and ears were fastened on the reader. Amid his joy the Due du Maine betrayed a troubled soul; he felt himself at the moment of a great operation which he had to undergo. The Duc d'orleans showed nothing but tranquil attention.

Many of the divi sions that now rend and endanger the church of Christ have been healed, and rival sects are united as though in the presence of a common enemy.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From Saint-Simon People who are old enough to write memoirs have usually lost their memory. This epigrammatic remark with which a recent writer, not old enough to have lost his memory, opens his reminiscences, has considerable truth in it. Historians now recognise that memoirs do not supply the certainty of history, for if the writers have dim memories, they have also lively imaginations. Saint-simon, the prince of memoir-writers, did not, it is true, begin to transcribe his memoirs till he was well past sixty, but from the age of twenty he had collected materials and made systematic notes. His memoirs were not merely the pastime of his old age but the serious business of his whole life. The result is that he has left us a picture of the Court of Versailles at the close of the seventeenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth which is unsurpassed in interest. This interest is above all things human. The men and women who fill his canvas are vividly alive. With a few powerful and incisive strokes he first sketches their lineaments and then with merciless penetra tion proceeds to lay bare their souls. But his memoirs are also coloured by his own alert and energetic personality. They not only portray his age, but they reveal himself to judge of the fidelity of the picture, we must know something of the man.
