                        Nine And Twenty Sonnets Of Estienne De La Boitie

                        To Madame De Grammont, Comtesse De Guissen

        [They scarce contain anything but amorous complaints, expressed in a
         very rough style, discovering the follies and outrages of a restless
        passion, overgorged, as it were, with jealousies, fears and
        suspicions.—Coste.]

        [These....contained in the edition of 1588 nine-and-twenty sonnets
        of La Boetie, accompanied by a dedicatory epistle to Madame de
        Grammont. The former, which are referred to at the end of Chap.
        XXVIL, do not really belong to the book, and are of very slight
        interest at this time; the epistle is transferred to the
        Correspondence. The sonnets, with the letter, were presumably sent
        some time after Letters V. et seq. Montaigne seems to have had
        several copies written out to forward to friends or acquaintances.]
