I thought it most amusing that the King should have commissioned M. de Bossuet to deliver this second missive, and I believe I said as much to certain persons, which perhaps gave rise to a rumour that he actually brought me love-letters from the King. But the purveyors of such gossip could surely know nothing of Bossuet's inflexible principles, and of the subtlety of his policy.
The King heard this, and publicly commended such an act of good feeling and grateful sympathy. Madame de Montausier and the Phantom. What She Exacts from the Marquise. Her Reproaches to the Duke. Bossuet's Complacency.
He became unnaturally dreamy; he read Pascal, and Bossuet's sublime "History of Species"; he read Bonald, he read Saint-Augustine; he determined also to read the works of Swedenborg, and the late Saint-Martin, which the mysterious stranger had mentioned to him.
The Universal Jubilee. Court Preachers. King David. Madame de Montespan is Obliged to go to Clagny. Bossuet's Mission. Mademoiselle de Mauleon. An Enemy's Good Faith. I do not desire to hold up to ridicule the rites of that religion in which I was born and bred. Neither would I disparage its ancient usages, nor its far more modern laws.
He had Bossuet in mind when he said "we will speak of the Jews as we would speak of Scythians or Greeks, weighing probabilities and discussing facts." In his new perspective the significance of Hebrew history is for the first time reduced to moderate limits. But it was not only in this particular, though central, point that Voltaire challenged Bossuet's view.
"Then you must go, captain. Pass through the other room, and so into the outer passage. And take this. It is Bossuet's statement of the Catholic faith. It has softened the hearts of others, and may yours. Now, adieu!" De Catinat passed out through another door, and as he did so he glanced back. The lady had her back to him, and her hand was raised to the mantel-piece.
But if I go on to express my admiration of Sir Louis Mallet this will cease to be an autobiography and become something in the nature of Bossuet's eulogies, so ardent was my cult for Cobden's friend.
His object was to reconcile philosophy with revelation; his works, though models of style, are now little read. HISTORY AND MEMOIRS. History attained no degree of excellence during this period. Bossuet's "Discourse on Universal History" was a sermon, with general history as the text.
