palissot's

Updated: May 1, 2025

Rousseau had declined an opportunity of punishing Palissot's impertinences, and Diderot took no worse vengeance upon him than by making an occasional reference of contempt to him in a dialogue which he perhaps never intended to publish. Another subject is handled in Rameau's Nephew, which is interesting in connection with the mental activity of Paris in the eighteenth century.
