[21] As M. St. Marc Girardin has put it:  “There are in all Rousseau’s discussions two things to be carefully distinguished from one another; the maxims of the discourse, and the conclusions of the controversy.  The maxims are ordinarily paradoxical; the conclusions are full of good sense.” Rev. des Deux Mondes, Aug. 1852, p. 501.

[38] Madame Latour (Nov. 7, 1730-Sept. 6, 1789) was the wife of a man in the financial world, who used her ill and dissipated as much of her fortune as he could, and from whom she separated in 1775.  After that she resumed her maiden name and was known as Madame de Franqueville.  Musset-Pathay, ii. 182, and Sainte Beuve, Causeries, ii. 63.

[40] English translations of Rousseau’s works appeared very speedily after the originals.  A second edition of the Heloisa was called for as early as May 1761.  See Corr. ii. 223.  A German translation of the Heloisa appeared at Leipzig in 1761, in six duodecimos.
