Under such august auspices it penetrated into the English public at large. The translator was a well-known teacher of the Italian language, John Florio. From the preface of the first book of the 'Essais' we learn that, at the request of Sir Edward Wotton, Florio had first Englished one chapter, doing it in the house of Lady Bedford, a great lover of art.
With the exception of the Essais de Théodicée of Leibnitz, it is perhaps the greatest effort the human mind has ever made to get rid of the seeming antagonism between the scheme of necessity and the holiness of God. According to the system of Edwards, as well as that of his opponents, sin would not have been committed unless it were permitted by God.
A book which has been very influential upon me fell early into my hands, and so may stand first, though I think its influence was only sensible later on, and perhaps still keeps growing, for it is a book not easily outlived: the Essais of Montaigne. The next book, in order of time, to influence me, was the New Testament, and in particular the Gospel according to St. Matthew.
We learn, from this remark, of what great importance the Essais must have been considered in literary circles, and it is not improbable that a few attempts 'of the seven or eight of great wit and worth' may have appeared in print long before Florio's translation.
La Serre: Essais Hist. et Crit. sur la Marine Française. Lapeyrouse-Bonfils: Hist. de la Marine Française. Jurien de la Gravière: Guerres Maritimes. Since the above was written, the secretary of the navy, in his report for 1889, has recommended a fleet which would make such a blockade as here suggested very hazardous.
With reference to the bourgeoisie I have cited the family of Beaumarchais. I have been obliged to procure and put on pantaloons, jacket, colored cravat and coarse linen, before attempting to go outdoors." Beaulieu, "Essais," V., 281. "Our dandies let their moustaches grow long; while they rumpled their hair, dirtied their hands and donned nasty garments.
It is said he was shocked at first that the author, in speaking of the Popes, did not give them the titles which they are wont to receive from Roman Catholic authors; but was otherwise well pleased with the book. Ep. 280. p. 104. Ep. 91. p. 782 Barbeyrac's Preface. M. Daube, Essais sur les principes du Droit, Preface, p. 6. Ep. 183. p. 798.
They were, said their author, "as grains of salt, that will rather give you an appetite than offend you with satiety." They were the first essays, so called, in the language. "The word," said Bacon, "is late, but the thing is ancient." The word he took from the French essais of Montaigne, the first two books of which had been published in 1592.
Bon-Bon, as far as I can learn, did not think the subject adapted to minute investigation; nor do I. Yet in the indulgence of a propensity so truly classical, it is not to be supposed that the restaurateur would lose sight of that intuitive discrimination which was wont to characterize, at one and the same time, his essais and his omelettes.
We should bear in mind that horns are always transmitted through the female, and that she has a latent capacity for their development, as we see in old or diseased females. Isidore Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, 'Essais de Zoolog. Generale, 1841, p. 513. Other masculine characters, besides the horns, are sometimes similarly transferred to the female; thus Mr. On the Cervulus, Dr.
