Maxim's of La Rochefoucauld, novel-style

Obscure book search: a novelistic setting of the life of La Rochefoucauld, salted with his maxims.
I read this some years ago. I think I stumbled onto the book in a university library. It's probably out of print.
It was, as I recall, a short "historical" novel (in English), about the life of François de La Rochefoucauld. Periodically, the narrator would make a point by way of a pithy epigram. Naturally, each was one of La Rochefoucauld's famous "maxims."
