M. Hanotaux a publié le premier volume de son histoire du cardinal de Richelieu. Il convient, pour juger ce grand ouvrage, d'attendre qu'il soit achevé. Mais on peut en détacher dès à présent un morceau considérable qui est un livre dans un livre, car il ne remplit pas moins de 400 pages. Sous ce titre: Le royaume et la royauté en 1614, c'est un tableau complet de l'état physique, social, politique et moral de la France, depuis les origines jusqu'aux Etats-Généraux dans lesquels Richelieu devait faire ses premières armes. Il fallait un certain courage pour entreprendre un pareil travail. - Messieurs, nous disait jadis un de nos maîtres, si vous voulez réussir, spécialisez-vous. - Comme il disait vrai ! Voulez-vous obtenir le sourire indulgent des savants, l'approbation des gens du monde, et la consécration suprême, à savoir l'admiration des ignorants ? Faites choix d'un sujet, comme disait cet excellent Boileau, compulsez les petits papiers, épluchez les comptés de cuisine et d'arrière-boutique, en un mot, soyez spécial, et vous serez inattaquable. L'homme le plus médiocre en suit toujours plus long que son voisin sur la question qu'il a retournée dans tous les sens...
