A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

But we are still more interested when we behold a genius of the first order, displaying early marks of extraordinary powers, growing up with peculiar advantages to quick maturity, devoted to the most useful and solid purposes, struggling with a long and painful disease, and cut off by death while yet in his bloom. Examples of this kind loudly proclaim to us the uncertain tenure, and comparative vanity of human life; while, on the other hand, they teach us, that they who make but a short and painful passage through this world, may yet confer permanent benefits on mankind, and obtain a place in the esteem of posterity, more lasting and more honourable than monuments of stone. ;S uch are the reflections which will naturally suggest themselves on reviewing the life of BLAISE PASCAL, who was born at Clermont in the Province of A uvergne, now in%the Department of the Puy de Domme, on the nineteenth of June 1623. He was descended from one of the best families in that province.
