Riassunto

Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 4: A Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc.; Fourth Series; July-December 1869

I may observe en passant that, in whatever reprobation one may hold J ean-j acquee as a man, it shows bad taste to characterise a writer of such acknowledged eminence as Rousseau by the term Combe's fellow-scoundrel.

The Letters to Marianne appear to be wrapped in a haze of conjecture on both sides. Anony mous ms. Annotations are not of much value as evidence, unless there is something like certainty as to their actual though unavowed authorship. W. P.'s inference clearly is, that these severe marginal notes are by Mr. Ackermann; yet, in the latter's preface to the Letters to Amelia, he throws a doubt on the authenticity of the Letters to Marianne -a pretence which he could scarcely have made had he been so intimately acquainted with every detail of their composition as the an notator professes to be.
