Product Description
Excerpt from Etude Biographique sur Colbert Apres Richelieu, Colbert, Ces deux grands ministres, appuyes sur leur roi. ont fait la gloire du dix-septieme siecle, et si je crois que l'epoque de Louis XIII et de Richelieu est plus originale, plus elevee, et eut merite de donner son nom au siecle, je reconnais volontiers que l'epoque de Louis XIV et de Colbert est grande aussi, et que cette generation a encore une forte part de la virilite de sa devanciere. Quelle que soit d'ailleurs celle des deux epoques que l'on mette au-dessus de l'autre, tous ceux qui aiment la France regardent ce siecle comme privilegie.
