Mascaron has the older fault of prodigal and somewhat indiscriminate erudition.

Compared with those of Bossuet, the funeral orations of Mascaron are weak, and his style is lifeless.

Jean Mascaron was born at Marseilles in 1634.

Mascaron is chiefly remembered for his Oraison on that same death of Turenne which gave occasion to so many orators.

Bossuet, Fénelon, Bourdaloue, Massillon, Fléchier, Mascaron, Claude, Saurin, to name no others, could hardly have failed to distinguish themselves in any department of literature which they had chosen.
