Excerpt from The Provincial Letters of Blaise Pascal The "Historical Introduction," by the translator, Rev. Mr. M'Crie, is an able review of the times in which Pascal wrote his celebrated Provincial Letters. It contains an honest, judicious statement of the questions that arose during the controversy in which Pascal and the Port-Royalists were engaged. It exhibits adequate theological scholarship, becoming moderation, and an integrity that is proof against the zeal of party and sect. The Bibliographical Notice indicates the various sources of information in regard to Pascal and his works. We have adopted, without alteration, except in the correction of typographical errors, M'Crie's translation of the Provincial Letters. He has fully comprehended Pascal's meaning, has thoroughly understood the points discussed, and has rendered his author with remarkable fidelity into English. His notes are sufficiently copious, and give just the kind of information needed by any reader who has not made an especial study of Port-Royal and its famous controversy with the Jesuits. Mr. M'Crie's translation is not faultless, however; it does not adequately represent the inimitable style of Pascal. Inimitable! We use the word advisedly, and it conveys an ample apology for our translator. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
