MORE WORLDS THAN ONE

The Creed of the Philosopher and the Hope of the ChristianThe Plurality of Worlds, as the work was called, was read with unexampled avidity, and was speedily circulated through every part of Europe. It was translated into all the languages of the Continent, and was honoured by annotations from the pen of the celebrated astronomer La Lande, and of M. Gottsched, one of its German editors. No fewer than three English translations of it were published, and one of these, we believe the first, had run through six editions so early as the year 1737. Wherever it was read it was admired, and though one hundred and sixty-seven years have elapsed since its publication, we have not been able to learn that any attempt has been made, during that long period, either to ridicule or controvert the fascinating doctrines which it taught.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
