Œuvres complètes de Voltaire, vol. 77A

In 1775, Voltaire attempted to secure the rehabilitation of d'Etallonde, continued his fight to free the Gex region from excessive taxation, and maintained a keen interest in trade and tax-related matters. Finally, he returned to literary pursuits by reassessing the reputation of La Fontaine's works and responding to a satire critical of the philosophers.
