Letters on England by Voltaire

The English letter is a small letter written by Voltaire in 1733 (French) and provides a social UK research from a French point of view. The original English text named Lettres philosophiques was written in English by Voltaire. The first edition was a very troublesome reading, so in 1980 Leonard Tancock translated the book from the previous French version into English. Just a few years before the English letter was announced, Voltaire was imprisoned in France and then exiled to the UK.

These letters were written by Voltaire in the UK and seemed to explain British society to British friends. Through these letters, Voltaire and its proposal emphasized criticism of the ancient regime. In the fifth letter Voltaire wrote an article about the English church. "This is a sect of religion, British as a freelan goes to heaven no matter which way he goes." Special statements have significant implications for France, rigid Catholics, and societies that do not tolerate religion.

Well, you may have guessed this to be Voltaire written in the late 1720s. Voltaire visited the UK - probably the only example of a Frenchman who came to the UK and has an intellectual who was impressed with what he found. Voltaire was his Lettres philosophy, translating into religion, politics and literature - a British letter - wrote beautifully. He also wrote an article about science - he attended Newton's funeral and was surprised by the fact that humble scientists were buried like the king of Westminster Abbey. But I would like Voltaire to be an important place in the library. It will help us define the literary tradition of science. He wrote a compelling explanation and a clear explanation about the theory of Newton's optics and gravity. They still stand still today. If you want to know what Newton said, you can read Voltaire as good as finding something.

In his "Letters on British Countries" Voltaire is exploring the reasons for extreme religious tolerance in the streets of London compared to the streets in Paris. This is not due to law or history. British laws strongly support the Church of England and persecution in the past has started a journey to the New World with a dangerous journey to the pilgrims. Voltaire concluded that the main differences between England and France are relatively free and respected business activities. People only interact with each other for financial self-interest.
