Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Des Sepultures
Je visitais, depuis quelques ours, avec un savant Italien que j'avais connu a Rome, les grands etablis semens publics que Paris s'enor 'gueillit de posseder. Nous nous trouvions un matin dans cette bi bliotheque qui porta long-tems le nom du Cardinal son fondateur, et qui a pris aujourd'hui celui de l'ecole centrale a laquelle elle appar tient: un jeune homme fixa notre attention. Entoure d'z'nifolios, il revait profondement: puis ecrivait quel ques phrases; puis feuilletait ses enormes volumes.
