Historie Et Espit

Excerpt from L'Esprit dans l'Histoire: Recherches Et Curiosites sur les Mots Historiques Je veux tenter de faire aujourd'hui, pour les mots soi-disant historiques qui courent par le monde et dans la plupart des ouvrages sur l'histoire de Fraude, ce que j'ai entrepris pour les citations dans le petit livre l'Esprit des autres. Je veux encore ici, mais dans une matiere plus serieuse, tacher de rendre a chacun ce qui lui appartient, et surtout de lui enlever ce qui ne lui appartient pas; car, je le prevois d'avance, j'aurai plutot a depouiller le mensonge qu'a enrichir la verite. Heureusement celle-ci trouve surtout son compte dans chaque erreur que l'on detruit. Elle gagne tout ce que l'autre perd.
