Notes
Published by Voltaire under the assumed name of Hume, by which he intended John Home, author of "Douglas." See British museum catalogue.
Probably a false imprint. Directed against Fréron, author of Année littéraire, who is played by "Frelon, écrivain de feuillesels, & fripon." See Bengesco, G. Voltaire, 222, which describes a similar edition with XII, 204 pages.
