First edition - with the imprint of Amsterdam publisher Ledet, to whom Voltaire had sent the manuscript - of this important work in which Voltaire introduced Newton in France and thereby ending the Cartesian era.""Voltaires importence for the history of science lies particularly in his having composed a famous popularization of Newton, Élemens de la Philosophie de Newton (1738), which also collaborating with his companion and mistress Émilie, marquise de Chatelet, on her translation of the Principia into French, and more generally in his having referred, with the lightness of touch that made him a serious critic of human condition, his moral philosophy to what he took to be Newtonian, and hence the correct, account of physical reality.""

Second edition of Voltaire's history of France. In it he gives a chronological account of the French Empire from the year 742 till 1648. Voltaire exercised immense influence on the development of modern historiography through his innovating new ways of interpreting the past. ""Essential to the new conception of a history in the place of histories is the recognition of the role of process and development. There is a central theme to this development, as in Voltaire's [present work]: the progressive development of intellect, culture, and society. This awareness of a theme fundamentally changes the character of historical writing and introduces a developmental structure to the great narrative historical writings of the eighteenth century."" (Iggers. Progress and its discontents, 1982, p. 44). Voltaire explains his view of historiography in his article on ""History"" in Diderot's Encyclopédie: ""One demands of modern historians more details, better ascertained facts, precise dates, more attention to customs, laws, mores, commerce, finance, agriculture, population."". The present work is a fine example of this tradition.Barbier I,194.
