Same year as the posthumous original, produced by Guillaume Girard in accordance with the wishes of Guez de Balzac, who wrote the address to the Marquis de Montauzier, which is present in our copy. One of the works that made the glory of Jean-Louis de Balzac, a man of letters famous for the brilliance of his style, and who contributed, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, to the improvement of the French language. It should be remembered that Balzac used to address his friends, under the title of "lettres", short essays on philosophical subjects, in the highly polished style for which he was renowned.
