Excerpt from Pascal

This translation of the most recent study of Pascal by one of his own countrymen is offered in the hope of making him more widely known among English readers. For Pascal belongs to mankind, by virtue of that common human nature which was to him so profoundly interesting. A lover of perfection and a lover of humanity, he spent himself in the passionate effort to attain the one and to point out the way of it to the other.

Biographical and explanatory notes have been added for the help of those readers to whom the surroundings of Pascal's life may be wholly unfamiliar.

At the request of the author, a few minor alterations have been made in the text.
