= Cf. Einaudi 4648; Sabin 68081 (other eds.): "A large part of this work is said to have been written by Diderot, and others. The sentiments and criticisms contained in it prevented its publication in France (...). The book was condemned by the French parliament and church dignitaries, and Raynal was obliged to leave France."
