is an anonymoustranslation of d'Alembert's Mélanges de

littérature, dhistoire et de philosophie, This is one of those books that I feel enriched by without really knowing what I'm taking away.
I loveth century prose, and though I can't vouch for the accuracy of this translation, it was certainly readable and occasionally quite funny.
The essays on taste gave me a few more pieces for understanding aspects ofth century thought, and the careful stepping through arguments to attempt to avoid annoying either the Church or the State made me very glad to be living here amp now.
