Synopsis
Excerpt from Éloges de Fontenelle: Avec une Introduction Et des Notes
Il y avait lieu de s étonner que Fontenelle, non pas l'au teur de lettres galantes, de pastorales ou de tragédies, mais l'auteur des Entretiens sur la pluralité des mondes, des pré faces et Histoires et surtout des Éloges de l'académie des sciences, n'eût jusqu'à présent qu'une si petite place dans les histoires les plus complètes de notre littérature et dans les recueils les plus étendus de morceaux choisis de nos meilleurs écrivains Grâce enfin à un nouveau programme classique d'auteurs français où figurent les E loges choisis de Fontenelle, l'occasion s'est présentée, et jel'ai volontiers saisie, de réparer au moins en partie cette omission et cette injustice.
