“Let us read and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.”

― Voltaire

Voltaire was a versatile and prolific writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works. He wrote thousands of books and letter and frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his day.

English author William Shakespeare Kenrick published a collection of many of Voltaire’s works, printed under the title ‘Philosophical Literary and Historical Pieces’. In this book, Kenrick includes dozens of works translated into English including:

• Letter concerning Roger Bacon
• On Marcus Aurelius and a Recollect
• On Education of Daughters
• On the Toilet of Madame de Pompadour
• Between an Indian and a Japanese
• Man Born Wicked and a Child of the Devil
• Life of Moliere
• On Religion
• On the Right of War
• Three Kinds of Government
• Of the Slavery of the Mind

However, the most important inclusion in this work is Voltaire’s perspectives on Isaac Newton’s philosophy!
