Rome [London?],
1753.
Anonymous. By Voltaire, who composed this piece on the basis of the controversy that arose between Maupertuis and the German mathematician Samuel Koenig (cf. Bengesco 1624).
Probably issued together with "Defense de milord Bollingbroke", as it was in a "Berlin" edition, with collected title: 'Oeuvres mêlées d'un auteur célèbre, qui s'est retiré de France' (cf. BN, CCXIV-II, no. 3869).
The imprint is fictitious; press figure 2 on pages 5 and 6 suggests English origin.
