VOLTAIRE'S
Vol. I—lt is a remarkable circumstance, while so many of
the inferior productions of Voltaire have been given to the English
reader in numerous editions, and among then, even those dramas
and poems which lose their characteristic merit in trandation,—that
a work of such high talent, such abundant wit, such delightful
variety of amusement, and so peculiarly adapted to the author's
powers, as the Philosophical INctionary, should never have adonard
the literature of the English language. Far we cannot admit thu,
A meagre and ill-selected abridgment, containing not a tenth part
of the original, forms any exception to the remark.
The first volurcc I. embellished with a'Head of the Author,
and a Vignette after Stothard, and hu prefixed an original Essay
on the Genius and writings of Voltaire. The remaining volumes
(calculated to be fire more) will follow at intervals of two months
between each.
