"I have to-day seen the King on his way to the chase," again wrote Guy Patin four years later.

M. Patin has a fine study of the poet in which he deals with "the anti-Lucretius in Lucretius."

Guy Patin recommends to a patient to have no doctor but a horse, and no apothecary but an ass.

At p. 106, Patin calls Fernel ‘le premier mdecin de son temps, et peut-tre le plus grand qui sera jamais.’

Fernel, though enthusiastically praised by Patin, was probably hardly equal to Joubert.
