The "Characters" of Jean de La Bruyère

Note 563 — XI. OF MANKIND.

Henri Van Laun translation

Some “Keys” name here wrongly Boutillier de Rancé, the founder of the Trappists, whilst others speak of Le Camus, bishop of Grenoble (see page 47, note 4). La Bruyèreʼs allusion is far more general.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
