  37. Re last mini-thread, reminded of the recent #hopwag episode (408) Constitutional Conventions: The Huguenots. historyofphilosophy.net/huguen

    The podcast mentions thr work Francogallia by François Hotman. It was translated into English by #RobertMolesworth. His preface was later published separately as "The Principles of a True Whig" which outlined his commitment to the "Gothic Constitution" which guaranteed liberty and ruled out absolutism.

  38. "If Sterne has had any one great master in his eye—it was Swift, his countryman—the first wit of this or any other nation;—but there is this grand difference between them—Swift excels in grave-faced irony—whilst Sterne lashes his whips with jolly laughter."

    The verdict of #IgnatiusSancho.

    Sancho corresponded with #LaurenceSterne from 1766. The publication of the letters after Sterne's death made Sancho famous.
