[Footnote 53: Barbazan's _Fabliaux et Contes_, iii. 409 (ed. 1808). The learned Barbazan's first edition was published in 1756, and so Diderot may well have heard some of the contents of the work then in progress.] [Footnote 54: Naigeon.] [Footnote 55: In my _Rousseau_, p. 243 (new ed.)] [Footnote 56: _Voltaire_, p. 149 (new ed., Globe 8vo).] [Footnote 57: Joubert.] [Footnote 58: Hettner, _Literaiurgeschichte des 18ten Jahrhunderts_, ii. 301.] [Footnote 59: _Oeuv._, ii. 260, etc.] [Footnote 60: _Oeuv._, ii. 258, 259. _De l'Essai sur les Femmes, par Thomas_. See Grimm's _Corr. Lit._, vii. 451, where the book is disparaged; and viii. 1, where Diderot's view of it is given. Thomas (1732-85) belonged to the philosophical party, but not to the militant section of it. He was a serious and orderly person in his life, and enjoyed the closest friendship with Madame Necker. His enthusiasm for virtue, justice, and freedom, expressed with much magniloquence, made him an idol in the respectable circle which Madame Necker gathered round her. He has been justly, though perhaps harshly, described as a "valetudinarian Grandison." (Albert's _Lit. Francaise au 18ieme Siecle_, p. 423.)] [Footnote 61: _Elemens de la Philosophie de Newton_, Pt. II. ch. vii. Berkeley himself only refers once to Cheselden's case: _Theory of Vision vindicated_, Sec. 71. Professor Fraser, in his important edition of Berkeley's works (i. 444), reproduces from the _Philosophical Transactions_ the original account of the operation, which is unfortunately much less clear and definite than Voltaire's emphasised version would make it, though its purport is distinct enough.] [Footnote 62: _Essai sur l'Origine des Connaissances humaines_, I. Sec. 6.] [Footnote 63: _Let. sur les Aveugles_, 323, 324. Condorcet attaches a higher value to Cheselden's operation. _Oeuv._, ii. 121.] [Footnote 64: Dr. M'Cosh _(Exam. of J. S. Mill's Philosophy_, p. 163) quotes what seems to be the best reported case, by a Dr. Franz, of Leipsic; and Prof. Fraser, in the appendix to Berkeley (_loc. cit._), quotes another good case by Mr. Nunnely. See also Mill's _Exam. of Hamilton_, p. 288 (3d ed.)] [Footnote 65: _Confessions_, II, vii.] [Footnote 66: Darwin, _The Expression of the Emotions in Men and Animals_, c. xiii. p. 312, and also pp. 335-337. This fact, so far as it goes, seems to make against the theory of transmitted sentiments.]
