London. . . Feb. 1 . . . We hear that the celebrated
Rousseau the Genevan Philosopher is married to a young girl
of seventeen years of age. The wife of the celebrated John
Jean Rousseau, is a young pupil of his whom he taught music
and philosophy; she is the daughter of his own taylor; and
the reason this celebrated sage gives for so unnatural an
union, is, that as the father fitted him so well for these
last twenty years past, he was in hopes his daughter would
do the same for these twenty years to come.
