Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lettres Turques
De Saint - Foy a ecrit beaucoup plus en philosophe qu'en soldat; c'est un des champions de la liberte de conscience, et il s'eleve avec force contre l'abus des congregations religieuses, qui retirent des citoyens et des richesses l'etat. Il etait anime de ce souffle liberal qu'on sent courir sur presque tous les ecrits du xviiie siecle, souffle qui semblait peine s'agi ter alors a la surface du sol, et qui, s'elevant et grandissant tous les jours, devint, un demi-siecle apres, la furieuse tempete de 1793.
