First sentence: IF Voltaire's saying be true about the happiness of a writer who should give to the world a history of Catherine the Great, it is certain that the happiness would be greater had the ingenious minds of some authors, whose works appeared soon after her death, found better scope than in collecting and polishing up every scrap of scandal which they could by search discover concerning her.
