Lives of the most eminent literary and scientific men of France, Vol. 2 (of 2)
by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Lives of the most eminent literary and scientific men of France, Vol. 2 (of 2) contains the biography of Voltaire, Rousseau, Condorcet, Mirabeau, Madame Roland, Madame de Staël.
The young man was not less earnest to be reconciled to his father. He was carried away by innate genius to cultivate literature; but his heart was good, and he revolted from the idea of living at variance with his parent. He wrote a pathetic letter to him, declaring that he was ready to emigrate to America, and to live on bread and water, if only, before he went, he were forgiven. M. Arouet was touched by this mark of submission; and, on receiving the further one of his son's consent to attend the office of a procureur, or attorney, he was reconciled to him.
