Paul Louis Courier : Le Simple Discours

'He used to read Courier aloud to his sister at Calcutta of a June afternoon, - in the darkened upstairs chamber, with the punkah swinging overhead, with as much enjoyment as ever Charles James Fox read the romances of Voltaire to his wife in the garden at St. Anne's Hill, though with a less irreproachable accent.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Thomas Babington Macaulay
