About this book
Letters to Eugenia, with the subtitle A Preservative Against Religious Prejudices, is credited to Paul Henri Thiry Holbach. The title page says it was translated from the French, by Anthony C. Middleton, M. D. One passage says the Letters were written in 1764, and that twelve different works had been written and published before them, all without the affix of the author's name.
One passage addressed to Madam says: You cannot any longer, I persuade myself, Madam, be made the dupe of these holy jugglers, who impose on the vulgar by their marvellous tales. Another passage tells Madam that God has been fashioned by the clergy on the model of an uneasy despot, suspicious of his subjects.
