Satirical Study of Language and Wars in 1756
The narrator records a study session chosen to be grave and learned, listing books from Grotius to Cicero and Paracelsus, with notes on intermixture versus coexistence, the correct usage of that, and grammar rules, while mentioning recent political reflections. The passage mocks scholarly pretension and the clutter of references during December 4, 1756.
