When François de la Rochefoucauld and his brother Alexandre visited Suffolk in 1784, the events which were to lead to the French Revolution in 1789 were already in train. François' father, the duc de Liancourt, Grand Master of theWardrobe at Louis XVI's court, was well placed to appreciate the dangers of the situation in France, and it must have been with anxious hopefulness that he sent his sons (François was then 18) to England for a year to appreciatethe ordering of these things in a country which had experienced a revolution over a century earlier. Such reflections are never far below the surface of this otherwise cheerful journal of a year abroad, which gives a vivid pictureof English provincial life; François' observations range over such diverse subjects as English customs and manners and methods of agriculture and stockbreeding, and include a lively account of a general election.Norman Scarfe, the well-known historian of Suffolk and beyond, provides a spirited translation of François' journal; it is complemented by numerous illustrations.

« Il y a dans les afflictions diverses sortes d''hypocrisie. Dans l''une, sous prétexte de pleurer la perte d''une personne qui nous est chere, nous nous pleurons nous-memes ; nous regrettons la bonne opinion qu''il avait de nous ; nous pleurons la diminution de notre bien, de notre plaisir, de notre considération. Ainsi les morts ont l''honneur des larmes qui ne coulent que pour les vivants... Il y a encore une autre espece de larmes qui n''ont que de petites sources qui coulent et se tarissent facilement : on pleure pour avoir la réputation d''etre tendre, on pleure pour etre plaint, on pleure pour etre pleuré ; enfin on pleure pour éviter la honte de ne pleurer pas. »

Qui ne connaît pas les maximes de La Rochefoucauld. Un dictionnaire nous dira qu''une maxime est une formule breve, non métaphorique, qui énonce une regle morale. Mais nous préfererons la formule de Flaubert, dans le «Dictionnaire des idées reçues»: «Jamais neuve mais toujours consolante.»
