Excerpt from J.-J. Rousseau
Jean-jacques Rousseau appartient à la France presque autant qu'à Genève, sa ville natale. Son ancêtre Didier, qui reçut droit de bourgeoisie en 1555 dans la cité de Calvin, était Parisien. Lui même juge les Français légers et volages, mais plus vrais qu'aucun autre peuple; il applaudit îleurs victoires, et son coeur saigne de leurs défaites; il les aime, en dépit de lui, malgré leurs travers et leur air avantageux; il se console de leurs malheurs en songeant que leur littérature soutient et relève leur gloire abaissée par les armes; nourri de leurs livres, écrivant et parlant leur langue, il avait pour eux une passion aveugle, insurmontable; il a nommé la France la nation la plus célèbre de l'univers et la patrie commune du genre humain; eût - il été Rous seau, s'il ne s'était formé à Paris?
