Originally published in 1945, this book contains the French text of
the 'Maximes' of Francois de la Rochefoucauld, which were first
published anonymously in 1665. La Rochefoucauld himself added to
the text many times during his life, and the version published here
contains 641 of his maxims, along with the prefaces to the editions
of 1665 and 1678 and two biographical portraits of the Duke in
French by himself and by his fellow writer the Cardinal de Retz,
Jean Francois Paul de Gondi. This book will be of value to anyone
with an interest in French literature and moral philosophy.
