ROCHEFOUCAULD.

"As Rochefoucauld his maxims drew
From Nature-I believe them true.
They argue no corrupted mind

In him; the fault is in mankind."-SWIFT.

"Les Maximes de La Rochefoucauld sont des proverbs des gens d'esprit."-MONTESQUIEU.

"Maxims are the condensed good sense of nations.”—SIR J. MACKINTOSH.

Translators should not work alone; for good et propria verba do not always occur to one mind."-LUTHER's Table Talk, iii. .
