Excerpt from Colbert Et Son Temps, Vol. 2
Administration, finances, commerce, indus trie, marine, lettres, beaux - arts, il n'est aucune des branches des grands services publics où nous ne retrouvions aujourd'hui la main de Colbert. Son oeuvre a été, à vrai dire, une re constitution presque complète de la nation. Son vaste génie, qui semblait pouvoir tout embras ser, secondé par tant d'autres génies en tous genres, a vraiment renouvelé la face entière du pays. Ce qu'il devint sous Colbert, l'ensemble de cet ouvrage le montrera peut - être suffisam.
