Excerpt from Essay on Bibliography, and on the Attainments of a Librarian: By Parent, the Elder Not the least curious thing connected with this essay is, that it includes a separate scheme for divid ing literary history into fourteen great epochs, each of them connected with a predominating name. Its own epoch is sufficiently marked by the last three of these: 12th Epoch: Voltaire sketching on the walls of the Bastille the rough draft of the Henri ade. 13th Epoch: Voltaire crowned at Paris. 14th Epoch: Bonaparte, the friend of the arts and of learning, consolidating the French Republic, and giving peace to Europe.' In other words, Parent introduced what librarians call a time division, hifalutin and sentimental, if you will, but not so unlike the fundamental princi ples which guided the modifiers of Bacon's scheme, wherein all human knowledge is regarded as issuing from three sources, - Memory, Imagination, and Reason. He added a human note characteristic of his day and generation, when all hearts were aflame for philosophic research, and the maxims of the Encyclopedists were watchwords which lived, des pite the hostility of conservative censors and timid printers. We may see their influence, shom of all the personal note and the enthusiasm which marked their birth, in the systems of classifications in use today.
