Ah, yes, I had forgotten what low esteem the Wikipedia is held in in these quarters. I am sorry, please excuse the laziness on my part. If it's any consolation, the article linked to was just to give one an idea of who Guizot was.


Mea culpa - I hadn't even checked the link in your earlier post, and had no idea it was to a Wikipedia article. My comment was intended to be a self-deprecating concession of the likelihood of my Shavian attribution being in error, not a shot at your Guizot reference.
