So far I have not known anyone who has not governed some state. Iam not talking about right honourable ministers, who really dogovern, some for two or three years, others for six months, othersfor six weeks; I am talking about all those other men who, over supperor in their study, set out their systems of government, reform thearmy, the Church, the law and [the world of] finance. The abb~ Bourzeis set about governing France around 1645 in thename of Cardinal Richelieu, and wrote that Political testament~ inwhich he wants to draft the nobility into the cavalry for three years,make the Audit Office and the parlements pay taxes, and deprive theking of income from the salt tax. He contends in particular that forthe sake of economy a hundred thousand men should be raised inorder to wage a campaign with fifty thousand. He maintains that'Provence alone has more good ports than Spain and Italy puttogether.' The abbd Bourzeis had done no travelling. Moreover, his workteems with anachronisms and mistakes; he makes Cardinal Richelieusign in a way that he never signed, just as he made him speak as henever spoke. For the rest, he takes a whole chapter to say that 'reasonmust be a state's rule of thumb', and to seek to prove this discovery.This work of darkness, this bastard child of the abb~ Bourzeis, wasfor a long time taken to be Cardinal Richelieu's legitimate son; andin their inaugural addresses no academician failed to heap excessivepraise upon this political masterpiece.1Richelieu's Political will (1688) has been attributed to Paul Hay. There is no evidence for Amable de Bourzeis' authorship.
