This volume is the first of three in a complete critical edition of the letters of Claude-Adrien Helvetius and his wife, nee Anne Catherine de Liginville. His letters, and those of Mme Helvetius, provide insights into, and new information about, their lives and the political, social, and intellectual history of the eighteenth century.
Featuring the correspondence of Mme Helv?tius, n?e Anne Catherine de Ligniville (1722-1800), in the years following her husband's death, this is the fourth of five volumes of the letters of the French philosopher, Claude Adrien Helv?tius (1715-1771).
The letters in this volume were written between 1761 and 1774, a period in which Helvétius enjoyed the fruits of his fame, travelled to England (1764) and Prussia (1765), and produced two books, Le Bonheur and De l'homme, which were published after his death.
