About this book

Voltaire's Toleration and other essays appear here in Joseph McCabe's English translation of 1912. McCabe's introduction recalls the writer's position and the circumstances in which the works were written. He argues that modern readers have wrongly left Voltaire as a faded name, and credits him with helping win the liberty to think rationally and speak openly on religious matters in Europe. The introduction also lists Voltaire's roles as historian, dramatist, physicist and social reformer.
