Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 4: A Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc.; Fourth Series; July-December 1869
I may observe en passant that, in whatever reprobation one may hold J ean-j acquee as a man, it shows bad taste to characterise a writer of such acknowledged eminence as Rousseau by the term Combe's fellow-scoundrel.
The Letters to Marianne appear to be wrapped in a haze of conjecture on both sides. Anony mous ms. Annotations are not of much value as evidence, unless there is something like certainty as to their actual though unavowed authorship. W. P.'s inference clearly is, that these severe marginal notes are by Mr. Ackermann; yet, in the latter's preface to the Letters to Amelia, he throws a doubt on the authenticity of the Letters to Marianne -a pretence which he could scarcely have made had he been so intimately acquainted with every detail of their composition as the an notator professes to be.

Notes and Queries, Vol. 4 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains the arguments given by the House of Lords in 1697 against a bill intended to increase the security of the King and government. The authors contend that several clauses in the bill would have been impractical or counterproductive. They argued that it would have discouraged trade and industry, reduced the value of land, increased the number of bandits, and put Protestant landlords and creditors at risk. The Lords believed that these consequences would have made the situation worse and endangered the stability of the kingdom. They, therefore, felt compelled to reject the bill to prevent potential misery and divine retribution.

In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282815547_0
