Tendentious phrasing, to say the least

edit

I am quoting:

"However, she wasn't an outright democrat either, looking with dismay on the violence of the revolutionary mobs."

I beg your pardon?

"Looking with dismay" on violence of "revolutionary" mobs automatically means she was not a democrat? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.176.180.207 (talk) 20:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Dutch-French (language) writer

She known as Dutch-French language writer. French is the official language in Neuchatel, Swiss. So this sentence is not quite accurate: "[she] was a Dutch and Swiss writer of the Enlightenment who lived the latter half of her life in Colombier, Neuchâtel." --Lokamaya (talk) 11:19, 10 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
