THE ON!,Y TRANSLATI9N..

foolscap octavo, embellished with a Heasi of Voltaire, and a
Vignette after Stothard, volumes 1, 2.3, price 245. boards. of
A PIIILOSOPIIIC'AL DICTIONARY. Translated
lA. from the French of VOLTAIRE. To be comprised in his
V olumes at most.
" Thoonh we have long had an edition of part of the works of
Voltaire, in 3$ volnnies, comprising History, Essays, Tales, his
Dramatic Works and Epistles, and also his Ilenriade—the Philo-
sophical Dictionary of that extraordinary writer has never until now
made its appearance. The present version is well calculated for all
who may not be acquainted with the French tongue. It contains
an abundance of curious and interesting matter."—New Monthly
Magazine.
It is remarkable that the only work of Voltaire which has not
heretofore found an English Translator, is the Philosophical Dic-
tionary. • • • It seems superfluous to descant upon a book whose
merits have been so long decided. There is probably no work of
equal size in any language which has been so frequently reprinted
in so short a space of tune. lta wit, its variety, the simplicity of its
style, and its extensive and curious research, present a combination
of attractions which cannot fail to procure a lasting popularity.
• • • The Translation before us is executed with accuracy and
spirit. To tranfuse die wit of Voltaire into a foreign language is,
of course, no easy task. The attempt however has been made, in
the prtsent instance, with as much success as in any preceding
translation from the writings of this author, and with much greater
than in aunt of them. The English reader will certainly feel great
obligation for a present at once so instructive and amusing as this
book has been made by the translators."—Westminster Review.
" The language in which the philosopher's sense is here con-
veyed, is so neat, free, and easy, as to reflect credit on the taste of
the translator; who, in pouring the sense of tht original out of one
language into another, has not suffered the spirit to evaporate."—
