Voltaire in his “Age of Louis the XIV,” says, “James Saurin was born at Nismes, 1677:—he was the best preacher of the reformed church; but he dealt too much in what was called the refugee style. He was created minister to the noblesse at the Hague; was a learned man—but addicted to pleasures: he died 1730.”
