- Owner's entry on title.
= Strong critique on the Frech regime: "Depuis que la liberté des François a reçu, pour ainsi dire, le coup de la mort, sous les dernières années du règne de Louis XV, le despotisme, ce fléau du genre humain, semble s'être affermi en frappant sur tous les ordres et en rendant la terreur générale. L'espionnage et la délation, moyens presque toujours sûrs de parvenir, ont jeté la défiance et l'aliénation dans la plupart des esprits. Le philosophe se tait, ou s'exile même, et le peuple courbé sous le poids de sa chaîne, acquiert peu à peu une froide insensibilité, qui lui ôte bientôt tout ce que la nature peut avoir donné d'énergie à l'espèce humaine". Not in Barbier. Rare.
