Is anyone familiar with de Maistre? I like his banter shitting on voiltaire. Apparently he goes even harder on Bacon but the book is over 300 pages and i'm too lazy to read it. Anyone got some excerpts?

Are you talking about Petersburg Dialogues? He does a good number against Locke in that too

Maybe that has some good stuff in it, I was referring to this though http://library1.org/_ads/428A5640134354E0539D0315A928EAAA
Of course actual substance is welcome, but right now i'm more interested in banter. he had some great stuff against voltaire in his essay on the generative principal of political constitutions.

He influenced based Tolstoy, pretty sure he's the reason all those longwinded passages about history exist in W&P

@TAJackson on twitter did a few threads on JdM's book on Bacon.
