Description

Footnote, in "Letters of Elizabeth Palmer Peabody," edited by Bruce A. Ronda, 1984, p.79. Elizabeth Peabody was using Telemaque to teach French in Boston in 1827: "Telemaque was a didactic romance written by French theologian and cleric Fenelon for the edification of one of his pupils. Secretly published in 1699, Telemaque contains a long treatise on government and on conduct befitting rulers. In his assertion that the law is higher than a ruler's will and that suspects ought to be held innocent until proven guilty, Fenelon incurred the disfavor of the court of Louis XIV and was deprived of his archbishopric."
