Answer:

The statement by the French dramatist Louise-Sebastien Mercier emphasizes the power of print media. Even in the eighteenth century, he realized the power of print media in shaping public opinion and harnessing progress. According to him, it can overthrow despotism. He himself was an avid reader and his love for reading is quite evident in most of his novels since his heroes are transformed by the act of reading.
