[The formal and familiar letters of Voltaire exhibit the graces of style which characterize the most versatile as also the most lucid of French writers. Some of the subtler nuances of expression elude the best translators, through the more rigid forms of the English language. The selected letters here given are from Smollett, Franklin, Parton, and our editorial staff. They reflect the play of the ever-alert mind and catch the happy turns of wit and pithy expression that brighten every page of the records of Voltaire's life-long intercourse with his multitude of friends, from humble dependents to personages of state who sought the honor of his acquaintance.] THE PRINCE ROYAL OF PRUSSIA TO M. DE VOLTAIRE. August 8, 1736. Sir.--Though I have not the honor of being personally acquainted with you, I have long known you in your works. They are treasures of genius, if I may be allowed the expression, pieces wrought with so much taste, that we discover new beauties in them at every reading. I think I have discovered in them the character of their ingenious author, who does an honor to our age and to human nature. The great men among the moderns will one day be obliged to you, and to you alone, for turning the balance in their favor, in case the controversy concerning the preference due to the ancients or moderns should be revived. To the quality of excellent poet, you add many different sorts of knowledge, which, though they have some affinity with poetry, were never superadded to it but by your pen. No poet before you could give cadence to metaphysical thoughts; this honor was reserved to you. It is the taste for philosophy that you display in your works which has made me send you my translation of "The Accusation and Defence of...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Voltaire, Vol. 38: A Contemporary Version; With Notes by Tobias Smollett, Revised and Modernized, New Translations by William F. Fleming, and an Introduction by Oliver H. G. Leigh, a Critique and Biography Alike the interest of his Church and France, The courtier's censor, but at court beloved, Rome's greatest foe, and yet by Rome approved. Between two rocks, which hoary ocean laves And beats with all the fury of his waves, The port of Dieppe meets the hero's eyes, And crowds of eager mariners supplies. Their hands prepare the vessels for the main, Those sovereign rulers of the azure plain. The stormy Boreas, fast-enchained in air, Leaves the smooth sea to softer Zephyr's care. Their anchor weighed, they swiftly quit the strand, And soon descry Britannia's happy land. When 10! The day's bright star is hid in clouds, And gathering whirlwinds whistle through the shrouds.

Download or read book The Papers of Thomas Jefferson Volume 38 written by Thomas Jefferson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-24 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 38 opens on 1 July 1802, when Jefferson is in Washington, and closes on 12 November, when he is again there. For the last week of July and all of August and September, he resides at Monticello. Frequent correspondence with his heads of department and two visits with Secretary of State James Madison, however, keep the president abreast of matters of state. Upon learning in August of the declaration of war by Mawlay Sulayman, the sultan of Morocco, much of the president's and the cabinet's attention is focused on that issue, as they struggle to balance American diplomatic efforts with reliance on the country's naval power in the Mediterranean. Jefferson terms the sultan's actions "palpably against reason." In September, he addresses the concerns of the mayor of New York City and the governor of South Carolina that free blacks expelled from Guadeloupe by the French will be landed onto American shores. Although he believes the matter will be dealt with by the states, he also instructs Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin to direct custom house officers to be watchful. In late August, Jefferson is alerted that he has been touched by the "breath of Slander," when James T. Callender's accusations appear in the Richmond Recorder and make public his relationship with Sally Hemings. The president offers no comment, and a month later returns to Washington, where he continues planning for an impending visit by his daughters.
