This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... the progress of the philosophical sect which numbered Voltaire (a secret enemy), and Diderot and d''Alembert (openly declared adversaries), amongst its leaders, desired to add to his means of repression the powerful arm of ridicule. The mordant hyperboles of Palissot of necessity drew upon him the enmity of the philosophers, who inveighed against him in the most furious manner. A desire of vengeance inspired the author of Les Philosophes with an imitation of Pope''s Dunciad. The stinging darts with which he transfixed his enemies kindled in their hearts an inextinguishable hatred. Their rancour, which they bequeathed to their heirs, pursued him to his extreme old age. Palissot has frequently told me that all the reward he ever obtained, in compensation for the bitter hours with which these quarrels had filled his life, was a smile with which Madame de Pompadour considered him amply repaid. Meeting the favourite one day, accompanied by the Duc de Choiseul, who was driving her carriage, the author of Les Philosophes was presented to her by the Minister. Madame de Pompadour deigned to stop for a moment, and, without speaking to him, thanked him with a nod of her head, and her most graceful smile, before which the good Palissot lost himself in obeisances. Palissot had thrice put himself forward for a seat in the Academy. Thrice the cabal, which was got up against him by Naigeon, testamentary executor of Diderot, and by Lalande, the Diogenes of philosophy, succeeded in defeating him. At the last election, General Bonaparte, at the request of Chenier, went to the Institute to give his vote in his favour. Intrigue turned against Palissot a step which should have been decisive in his favour. A rumour was spread that General Bonaparte had come...
