Pierre Bayle : Pensees diverses vol 1

"Mary Astell returned a borrowed copy of Pierre Bayle's Pensees diverses (4th ed., 1704) to the owner, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, with the first volume profusely annotated. On the flyleaf she write a general impression, beginning [...] "I ask pardon for scribling in Y[ou]r La[dyshi]ps Book. The Author is so disingenuous & inconsistent yt no lover of Truth can read it without a just Indignation.'"
