Synopsis
Excerpt from Oeuvres de la Rochefoucauld, Vol. 1
France rien n'y paraît qui n'ait été vérifié, soit sur les manuscrits quand il en existe, soit sur les éditions origi nales. Je n'ai pas davantage à parler de l'orthographe et de la ponctuation, si peu fixées au dix - septième siècle, que notre auteur lui - même en varie sans cesse; ici, comme dans tout le reste, je me suis conformé aux usages suivis pour l'uniformité de cette collection. Je n'insis terai pas non plus sur le travail d'an1iotation tout en m'abstenant de discuter avec l'auteur, j'ai tâché de faire un commentaire perpétuel de son oeuvre, comme on en use avec les auteurs grecs ou latins. Je m'y suis appliqué surtout à la confrontation, pour ainsi dire, de la Roche foucauld avec lui - même, par de nombreux renvois entre ses pensées, et à sa confrontation avec les moralistes an ciens ou modernes, par des rapprochements que j'ai multipliés autant queje l'ai pu.
