Note 234 — Chapter IV · DIDEROT AND THE FRENCH TRANSITION.
Reading edition
4 vols., Paris, 1817. The lectures had been delivered in 1811-14. I have had to rely on my reading of the British Museum copy, the only one which I have ever seen in a catalogue, though rather high-priced, having been sold before I could get it, and my advertisements for another (it is a book worth having) not being successful. Some accounts (e.g., that of Vapereau) are quite unfair to it.
