The "Characters" of Jean de La Bruyère

Note 626 — XII. OF OPINIONS.

Henri Van Laun translation

Our author was probably for a month either at Rouen or Caen as trésorier-général des finances, an office which he bought in 1673, and, whilst there, might have had a quarrel with some of his colleagues. This is the more likely as in the first three editions of the “Characters” the magistrates alone were named.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
