Book Description
Excerpt from Courtiers and Favourites of Royalty, Vol. 1 of 2: Memoirs of the Court of France With Contemporary and Modern Illustrations Collected From the French National Archives; Memoirs of Marmontel IN that eighteenth century so dissolute and so corrupt, Mar montel stands out as one of the frank faces, one of the good natures, that rest the spirit and comfort the heart. He is the son of a poor tailor of Bort, and by the nonentity of his social status seems destined to lead an obscure life. Happily he has a tender, intelligent, mentally distinguished mother. This excellent woman comprehends that her son has received from nature a felicitous bent for study she does not shrink from the greatest sacrifices to aid in its development. She is at first seconded by an old priest, the Abbe Vaissiere, who instils the first rudiments of Latin into the child then she places her son in the Jesuits' college at Mauriac to finish his studies there.
