Note 98 — LETTER XLVIII.
Reading edition
The Count, who is a Lover of the Sciences, intends to make a Lycaum of his Castle, and a little Athens of his Town. He begins by forming a numerous Library, and longs to get the Learned about him. But the main Point is to make a good Choice of them; and the first Choice which the Count has made of a Man who has already engrossed his Favour, does not promise well for the future.
