“The Encyclopedia is one of the monuments of the eighteenth century, as true a monument as the pyramids, the temples, the forums or the cathedrals of earlier times. As with great buildings, the Encyclopedic serves as a source for future generations. In examining its many rooms, heroic vaults and brilliant finish, one is astonished at the magnificence and audacity of the whole.

But the Encyclopedia is interesting as more than a large relic of another day. Its editors declared their intention to change the general patterns of thought, and even where they cannot be seen to have achieved this directly, they were able to create an environment in which ideas could be circulated and reinforced. The Encyclopedic served as the repository for a broad range of thought on many subjects during the third quarter of the eighteenth century in France. The continual criticism of both state and religious censors, as well as frequent private critics, meant that not only the subscribers to the Encyclopedic but many others as well were aware of the activities and ideas of those who prepared it.”
