D' Olivet said of him: “For the little which remains us of Mr. de Montigny, one sees that Philosophy him avoit not except the taste of Poësie and the Eloquence. Its prose is correct, elegant, numerous; its running, noble versification, full with images. A few years moreover, where alloit it not? But to die in thirty-five years, it is for a man of letters, to die in the cradle. ”
