Brief Summary:
Autograph note signed from Voltaire to Johann Heinrich Samuel Formey, dated 15 July [1752].
Detailed Summary:
Voltaire offers his thanks to Formey, noting that the last journal that he sent to him featured a piece by Albrecht von Haller which he considers being of ‘superior genius’. He concludes by saying that men do not yet know how they create children and ideas, but that Formey, who has worked so well in these two genres, should know more than anyone.
