Front matter

A M. X…,

C’est vous qui avez fait imprimer à toutes forces un manuscrit que je destinais au calme reposant du tiroir. Si ce livre avait dû occasionner quelque bruit, je n’aurais pas manqué de vous le dédier : Le scandale forme, de nos jours, la plus chère distraction des sociétés choisies, et vous passez, à le créer, pour un homme célèbre : L’honneur aurait été complet.

Mais, grâce à l’obscurité in-18 où demeurera ce barbouillage, il ne me reste plus qu’à le déconseiller à vos rares amis.
