Excerpt from Les Encyclopédistes: Leurs Travaux, Leurs Doctrines Et Leur Influence
Le premier défaut de ce recueil, c'était d etre l'oeuvre d'un seul homme qui, malgré toutes les ressources qu'il avait trouvées dans les livres, s'était vu dans l'impossibilité d'embrasser tout le système des connaissances humaines. Il avait un autre défaut, moins sensible peut - être mais non moins grave dans les écrits de ce genre il manquait généralement de sens cri tique.
