charmed and led away by his eloquence. The Academy
opened its doors to him; kings have sought his friend-
ship; he wants nothing to complete the grandeur of his

ness. And, nevertheless, who will dare to say that

why, and I have found the reason in this simple refiee'
tion—t dent gives popularity, but it is character alone
which makes don to posterity."
