[Footnote 98:  Michelet, Louis XV., 258.  D’Aguesseau (1668-1751) has left one piece which ought to be extricated from the thirteen quartos of his works—­his memoir of his father (Oeuv., xiii.) This is one of those records of solid and elevated character, which do more to refresh and invigorate the reader than a whole library of religious or ethical exhortations can do.  It has the loftiness, the refined austerity, the touching impressiveness of Tacitus’s Agricola or Condorcet’s Turgot, together with a certain grave sweetness that was almost peculiar to the Jansenist school of the seventeenth century.]
