"The Lettres Provinciales as they are called are the first example of French prose as we know it today perfectly finished in form varied in style and on a subject of universal importance.Pascal was an infant prodigy whose work in mathematics and natural science attracted considerable attention before he was sixteen. But he will always be chiefly remembered as a moralist more especially as the great apologist for Jansenism the seventeenth-century French ascetic movement of reform inside the Roman Catholic Church.At the end of 1655 the movement had been much under attack from the Jesuits and Pascal was persuaded to write a rejoinder.his counter-attack took the form of a brilliant exposure of the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits.Pascal's weapon was irony and the freshness with which the gravity of the subject contrasts with the lightness of the manner is an enduring triumph. The vividness and distinction of his style recalls Milton at its best." Printing and the Mind of Man 140. <br/><br/> Ch�s Pierre de la Vall�e unknown

The "Additions to the Mystery of Jesuitisme" paged separately with a special title-page with an index and adv. leaves. Wing P644; Keynes p. 124. A distinguished French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal 1623-1662 took the side of the Jansenists in their contest with the Jesuits. This celebrated piece was first published in 1656 and ridiculed the Jesuits. Voltaire noted in his "Siecle de Louis XIV" that "these letters may be considered as a model of elquence and humour. The best comedies of Moliere have not more wit than the first part of them; and the sublimity of the latter part is equal to any thing in Bossuet." He also calls Pascal the first of the French satirists. The "Letters" were widely translated. Richard Royston unknown
