Destouches' plays had undeniable success in their time some were immediately adopted by the Académie française. Destouches forms a figure of early eighteenth-century theater. Here is what Voltaire writes of him in ""Le siècle de Louis XIV"": ""One does not find in his plays the strength and gaiety of Regnard still less those depictions of the human heart that naturalness that true wit that excellent comedy which makes the merit of the inimitable Molière; but he has not failed to make a reputation after them. He has some plays that have been successful although the comedy in them is somewhat forced. He has at least avoided the genre of comedy that is merely languid of that kind of bourgeois tragedy which is neither tragic nor comic a monster born of the impotence of authors and the satiety of the public after the golden days of the century of Louis XIV. His comedy Le Glorieux is his best work and will probably remain in the theater although the character of Le Glorieux is it is said flawed; but the other characters appear to be treated superbly."" The fourth volume published in 1745 contains the entrance speech to the Académie française and Fontenelle's response. Chez Prault père unknown
