Excerpt from An Historical and Critical Dictionary, Selected and Abridged From the Great Work of Peter Bayle, Vol. 1 of 4: With a Life of Bayle

It is only necessary to add, that while the alphabetical form will be preserved, it cannot from the nature of the plan be that of bayle himself, but of the subjects selected from him, which are frequently introduced quite incidentally under the heads in which they appear in the Dictionary, and consequently cannot be retained in a situation in which the connexion would not appear. To prevent all di¿iculty, however, each article will accurately refer to those in the original from which it is taken.
