About the Author

'A country gentleman of the days of Henry IlI, who was a wise man in a century of ignorance, a philosopher in an age of fanatics, and who painted in the guise of himself our own follies and frailties, is a man who will be loved forever.' — Voltaire

'Montaigne is really the first modern writer - the first who showed that an author might be original and charming, even classical, if be did not try too hard.' — James Russell Lowell

'That such a man has written truly increases the pleasure of living... It is by his side I would range myself if I had to acclimate myself to this world.' — Nietzsche

About the Lowenthal Edition 

'If Montaigne himself had ever thought of anything so systematic as a rounded autobiography, he would have produced much the same book as Mr. Lowenthal's.' — Carl Van Doren

'Mr. Lowenthal has picked most of the plums out of the jungle of Montaigne's writings, and he serves them up in a style calculated to please the palate of the most indolent reader.' — The Times (London)
