Ce tome VIII a vu le jour en Voici une liste de ses articles: La Chronique de Paris: The second volume B to Ce came out in February What that meant in practice was not clear. Prades and a few of the radical collaborators were exiled and publication was suspended. But the sympathetic censor Malesherbes and the Madame de Pompadour, the king's powerful mistress, prevented the shut down of their offices and seizure of their papers.
They insinuated that Diderot and d'Alembert ought to continue working as if nothing had happened. But the polemics were not really sustained. The fourth volume Cons to Diz came out a year later Oct without significant protests. The venerable philosophe Voltaire contributed many articles to this volume, mostly related to literature and grammar. The Seventh volume Fo to Gy appeared in November It again includes articles by Quesnay, Turgot and Morellet.
Once again Voltaire contributes many articles.. The seventh volume turned out to be the last volume for a while. Given the assassination attempt on Louis XV by an unemployed lackey, Francois Damiens back in January , this was not an idle allegation. The appearance of the seventh volume did nothing to calm those fears. But it also had its supporters. It was widely-read, scandalously-received and instantly condemned.

In the fall of , the Jansenist A. Chaumeix launched a long series of detailed attacks on both, conjoining the two. Egged on by Chaumeix and other parts of the press, the Parlement of Paris opened a session in January to examine the subversive works. But it was clear its days were numbered. Begun in , only seven volumes had appeared so far, covering topics from A to G.
The suspension seems to have come about by the intervention of sympathizers - specifically Pompadour and Malesherbes - as a means to remove the matter from the legal courts and avoid more serious consequences. Nonetheless, Malesherbes made it clear to the editors that the suspension would be enforced - that he would not tolerate its publication abroad.
A few months later, in July, the French government issued a decree ordering the publisher to Le Breton to refund subscribers for the missing volumes but apparently no one took it up. The polemics, which had reached their height in , would linger during the suspension. Having had enough, D'Alembert, resigned from the project in Reportedly, it was due not merely the external problems, but also internal ones; the ego of some heavyweight contributors - namely Voltaire - had worn d'Alembert down.
Turgot, who had only recently proposed to write many articles, also decided to quit Neymark, p. Diderot was left in charge as sole editor. These would consist almost purely of illustrations with text merely describing the pictures. This was implicitly allowed by the censor Malesherbes. The appearance of the plate volumes was facilitated by the sudden change of mood in France. The other main anti-encyclopedists - Hayer, Chaumeix and Gauchat - quietly wound up their polemical pamphlets in So the tide had turned by It was not that the encyclopedistes were suddenly graced with public favor, but rather that the anti-encylopediste hysteria had waned.
French censorship had encouraged well-wishers abroad. Petersburg, offering to allow him to continue publication of the text volumes there. Diderot briefly considered it, but eventually turned it down. Diderot briefly considered it, but eventually turned it down. Louis Ferdinand had been the principal supporter of the conservative religious party in the royal court, and an intractable enemy of the the project. Most appeared rather quickly in early although stamped with a December date. The new royal censor Sartine a friend of Diderot's turned a blind eye and let it go forward.
There are few articles of interest written by economists in the remaining volumes. As noted, Turgot, who had planned several, never finished them. Voltaire contributed a bunch to volume 8, and it is sometimes suggested that Claude Dupin wrote the article on salt mines for volume The journals of the day were largely quiet about the publication of the remaining volumes in The only real polemical attempt was Maleville's attack on the "Eclectique" article, but it wasn't followed up.

The volumes and the supplement see below passed largely without controversy in the press, until Barruel's wider-ranging attack on the philosophes in general in , drawing evidence from the Encyclopedie articles. Setting aside the objections to the content by religious conservative critics, even sympathizers like Grimm and Voltaire noted its faults.

D'Alembert characterized it as a harlequin's outfit - some sparkling gems, but the rest of it rags. Saas's letters showed up embarrassing errors. In a memorandum written in , Diderot outlined the problems. Besides the numerous factual mistakes, it failed to properly cover physics, and chemistry almost not at all, that the sections on mathematics and natural history needed to be expanded, that great swathes of articles on philosophy logic, metaphysics and ethics were poorly written or plagiarized, geography was inconsistent, the art sections needed serious revision from experts, and that the plates did not connect well with the text.
The original subscribers, who had paid a hefty price, would likely be infuriated to find their expensive set obsolete so quickly. Finding a new set of subscribers would mean scraping the poorer down-market, and less likely to cover the costs.

Moreover, the official suspension was still place, and having visited the Bastille, Le Breton was not willing to risk the ire of the authorities again. Diderot was asked by Pancoucke in to stay on as editor for the second edition, but turned it down. Diderot had already promised the empress Catherine of Russia in that the second edition would be printed in St. Petersburg, under her patronage, and was already making separate plans they turned out for naught - Diderot went to Russia in the early s full of enthusiasm, but could not get his old friends or the Russians to give him anything more than promises; Diderot returned to France in , disappointed by the whole experience, swearing off any encyclopedic projects, and moving on to other things.
Pancoucke soon encountered the problems Le Breton had feared: So Pancoucke scrapped the original plan and instead announced he would re-print the original edition, largely as it was incorporating only the corrections of Saas for any new subscribers, and to add a few supplementary volumes to be sold to the original subscribers.
This ran immediately into trouble. As Pancoucke began re-printing the first volumes in early , the French authorities cracked down on the printing house and impounded the copies. After prolonged negotiations with the republican authorities of Geneva, the re-edition of the originals finally begin to come out in , published by Gabriel Cramer in Geneva for Pancoucke.. Voltaire jumped aboard eagerly, and began writing articles to contribute to the supplement. But few others were as enthusiastic. Robinet obtained promises, but many failed to deliver.
As the delays prolonged, some of the early contributors decided to withdraw their articles and print them separately on their own. D'Alembert's protege, the Marquis de Condorcet , withdrew his articles on monopoly and monopolist to publish separately. Condorcet's other articles, mostly on pure mathematics, however, would remain.
The first two text volumes came out in , the last two plus the plate volume in The cap the project, two index volumes, edited by pastor Pierre Mouchon, were published in It would be more modern, more correct, more scientific, written or revised from other dictionaries by experts rather than amateurs or freelance hacks, and purged of the irreverence and outdated polemics of mid-century philosophes.
Pancoucke divided the volumes into subject areas, and had experts write comprehensive reviews of each subject in a single article, rather than forcing the reader to scamper around multiple fractional articles just to get the general idea. It was a sprawling work of over volumes - text volumes and the remainder plates. But it really consists of some 35 separate multi-volume dictionaries, with one universal index volume.
