Note 838 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
D. Canfield, Corneille and Racine in England, 1904. How common was the presence of Frenchmen in English families of high standing may be gathered from Orinda's statement that "one, Legrand, a Frenchman belonging to the Duchess of Ormond, has by her order set the fourth [song in Pompey to music], and a Frenchman of my Lord Orrery's the second" (Letters of Orinda to Poliarchus, London, 1705, Letter dated Jan. 31, 1663).
