Spiritual Letters

François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon

This book is in French.

Fénelon’s letters of spiritual direction as the Saint-Sulpice edition arranges them (the “Lettres spirituelles” section of the Correspondence): to the Elector of Cologne, to Mme de Maintenon, to nuns, to people of the world, to the Countess of Montberon and others. The text is the 1851 edition in French; Lear’s English selection is a separate book.

Contents

Source: Machine-cleaned OCR: running heads, page numbers and hyphenation removed, paragraphs rejoined, obvious character errors corrected by a vote against the corpus vocabulary; period spelling kept. Residual OCR errors remain (see PROBLEMS.md). Many letter headings and numerals are lost in the OCR, so the letters are grouped by addressee in parts of about 7,500 words; the letter numbers in the ## subheads are ours.
