It is about six conversations between two friends, the second concerns the genius of the French language, and the last mottos (political, Christian, genealogical, heroic, etc.).
These conversations are presented as models of eloquence by the distinguished French Jesuit priest, essayist and neo-classical critic Dominique Bouhours.
The book gives a good picture of salon society in seventeenth-century Paris, which served as a model for much of the world. The bourgeois literary public received him very favorably, praising the delicacy and purity of the author's style -
