As he reached the lawn he was set upon several men who flogged him within an inch of his life. ‘The victim of this thrashing was Francois Marie Arouet, who, for Yeason of his own, called himself “Voltaire,” a name to which he had claim. The beating he received on the lawn of Sully’s palace was the odd taste to prefer the obecure young writer to the renowned man)—and Rohan had taken this means of punishing his rival. Voltaire spent the next month learning to fence. Then he challenged to mortal combat with swords. Rohan's frien @ blank warrant, sign ty the King of France, fitied it in with Voltaire’s name and had the writi ‘thrown \into prison. There he remained for six months.
