Take with you, reader, oneor two of the then and there Chief Figures; Voltaire's fellow-players;strutting and fretting their hour on that Stage of Life. They are mostlynot quite strangers to you.
We know the sublime Perpetual President in his red wig, and sublimesupremacy of Pure Science. A gloomy set figure; affecting thesententious, the emphatic and a composed impregnability, --like the Joveof Science. With immensities of gloomy vanity, not compressible at alltimes. Friedrich always strove to... honor his Perpetual President, andduly adore the Pure Sciences in him; but inwardly could not quite manageit, though outwardly he failed in nothing. Impartial witnesses confess, the King had a great deal of trouble with his gloomings and him. "Who isthis Voltaire?" gloomily thinks the Perpetual President to himself. "Afellow with a nimble tongue, that is all. Knows nothing whatever of PureSciences, except what fraction or tincture he has begged or stolen frommyself. And here is the King of the world in raptures with him!" Voltaire from of old had faithfully done his kowtows to this King ofthe Sciences; and, with a sort of terror, had suffered with incrediblepatience a great deal from him.
