Paris Smiled, For An Hour Or Two, In the Year 1801, When, Amidst
Napoleon'S Mighty Projects For Remodelling the Religion And Government
Of His Empire, The Ironical Satirist, Sylvain Maréchal, Thrust In his
"Plan For A Law Prohibiting the Alphabet To Women." Daring, Keen,

Pungency, That We Can Hardly Wonder At The Honest Simplicity Of The
Author'S Friend And Biographer, Madame Gacon Dufour, Who Declared that
He Must Be Partially Insane, And Proceeded to Prove Herself So By
Replying to Him.
