Voltaire discusses the article ‘Mânne’ in the Encyclopedia noting that he thinks it is good, if a bit rabbanistic, and that the philosophers and the curious should be content with it. He adds, however, that an apothecary would have said more, knowing that a fat mânne was better than a meagre one. Voltaire then writes that he is very sorry to be in Lausane when d’Alembert’s Téologal is at Geneva, noting that they say the lake can be seen again this winter, and wondering if they could bring the comedy to Lausanne. He then asks d’Alembert to pass on his regards to Madame du Deffand and [Charles-Jean-François] Hénault.
