Princeton Legacy Library Series

Catholics and Unbelievers in 18th Century France

by R R Palmer

Published 21 May 1966

Mr. Palmer rescues from oblivion--for who knows much about Bergier, Freron, Gauchat, Berruyer, Yvon, Houteville?--the Christian critics who fought a rearguard action against the French secularists of the Enlightenment. Originally published in 1966. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
