Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Instructive Entertaining Tracts, Vol. 7

Over their subjects princes bear the rule But God, more mighty, governs kings themselves.

After a few years' attendance on the young prince, La Gaucherie died, and was succeeded as tutor by Florent Chretien, a man of distinguished abilities, and as zealous a Protestant as his prede cessor. Henry's studies under this master were of a kind suitable to his years and prospects. He wrote a translation, we are told, of the Commentaries of Caesar, and read with avidity the Liz/as of Plutarch, a book which is celebrated as having kindled the enthusiasm of many heroic minds.
