_Voltaire says of Shakespeare_: ”Rimer had very good reason to say that Shakespeare _n'etait[TN-173] q'un vilain singe_.” Voltaire, in 1765, said, ”Shakespeare is a savage with some imagination, whose plays can please only in London and Canada.” In 1735 he wrote to M. de Cideville, ”Shakespeare is the Corneille of London, but everywhere else he is a great fool (_grand fou d'ailleur_).”
