Frederick W. (Frederick William) Ricord translation
Writing in verse had become a great amusement with all this young and ingenious society. Vol. xiii. of the Manuscripts of Conrart, in-fol., p. 337, contains an epistle in verse to the Duke d’Enghien, when he was at Dijon, and only twenty years of age.
