    “In this volume, which is part of a popular science series with pronounced biases, [the author] describes in six chapters the work of the Encyclopedists and the group from which it emerged. Baron d'Holbach and his friends are presented in clear and engaging pages. [The author] reminds us that the Encyclopedia was first and foremost a commercial enterprise, into which anti-Christian tendencies deeply penetrated when the initially languishing project was directed by Diderot, closely allied with d'Holbach. [The author] offers a sociological explanation for this anti-Christianity: it is provoked, he says, by the alliance of the Church with a decadent and closed society where the new ambitions of the bourgeoisie find no satisfaction.” [R. Kremer, Revue Philosophique de Louvain, 1929, no. 22, p. 243]
