Voltaire had at various tutus a nuirfbor of duels on his hands, but counted among them two which did not reach the expected climax. One of these was his affair with the Chevalier de Rohan Ohnbot. who goad ed hi in to the point of fighting ami then, instead of giving him the satis faction demanded, had him lured Intc a conch and soundly whippet} wltl switches by some hirelings concealed there. Voltaire, after trying in vain to in duce one of his noble friends to bach him In his further pursuit of his en emy. appealed to the municipal author Ittes In these phrases: "I humbly rep /esent that I havo been brutally as saulted by the enurngeous Chevalier de Rohan, aided by six cutthroats, behind whom ho was bravely posted. V.ver since that time I have sought to restore not my honor, but his, a task too difficult."
