Excerpt from The Debater, 1914, Vol. 1

This king could say such foolish things in such a wise and solemn manner, that a witty Frenchman was heard to remark that the king was the wisest fool in Christen dom, though a sterner, and perhaps far wiser man had called him God's silly vassal.

However that may be, this wise fool caused a great thing to be done before he died, which is what I am trying to get at, and the reason I am repeating all this history. The vassal of God, silly or otherwise, wish ing to astound the world with his learning, caused to be written, and translated a certain Book, composed of the sayings of a certain Great Man, His history, and the history of His nation.
