Synopsis
Excerpt from Revue des Deux Mondes, 1910, Vol. 60: Lxxxe Année
Ou ne sait s'il naquit à Paris, ou à Châtenay, près de Sceaux, à la ville ou à la campagne, le 22 mars ou 1e22 novembre 1694; mais-c'est assez que l'année soit certaine) Se famille, comme celle - de Molière', comme celle de Boileau, comme celle de Regnard, était de bonne et ancienne bourgeoisie parisienne François Arouet, son père, avait d'abord été notaire au Châ telet et, depuis, payeur des épices de la Chambre des comptes. Ou peut supposer, si l'on veut, que c'est de lui que son fils hérita l'intelligen ce et le goût des affaires. A dix ans, l'enfant fut mis au Collège de Clermont la vie qu'il'y mena, les cama rades qu'il y fit, les marques mêmes de précocité d'esprit qu'il y donna, tous ces détails sont de mince ou de nulle importance. Car, de très grands sots ont brillé de tout temps, brillent peut être encore dans les collèges; et, pour les condisciples d'arouet,' il est probable, selon l'usage, qu'ils se souvinrent' de lui quand il fut devenu Voltaire. Je ne reprocherai pas non plus aux jésuites, ses maîtres, au Père Tournemine ou au Père Porée, d'evoir incliné au mensonge et à l'intrigue la natu1'elle droiture de leur élève.
