A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Bfi GROU. OUR readers will perhaps not be displeased if we give here a short account of the author of this excellent work, extracted from a longer notice which appeared in LA mi de la Religion l John Grou, born in the diocese of Boulogne, on. the 24th of November 1731, entered the College of the Jesuits when very young, and was admitted to their noviciate at the age of fifteen; he made his first vows at the age of seventeen, and was afterwards employed in teaching, according to the custom of the Society. In this employment his taste for literature was developed. He was particularly fond of Plato and Cicero, in whose writings he found, with a great wealth of style, finer thoughts and a purer code of morals than in the generality of the ancient authors. The first fruit of his labours in Greek philosophy was the Republic of Plato, translated into French in two duodecimo volumes. This translation 1V o Lxxxiii., p. 65 et. sey.
