"Abstracting from his (PASCAL's) great merits in Mathematies and in Physics, his reputation rests chiefly on the Provincial Letters, a work from which Voltaire dates the fixation of the French language, and of which he says, Moliere's Comedies do not excel them in wit, nor the compositions of Bossuet in sublimity."-DUGALD STEWART.
The fame and character of this work rendered it worthy of translation, and this task has now been so ably performed, that it might pass for an original English classic."—Monthly Mag. Feb. 1817.

"The Work before us, contains a great variety of curious and highly interesting particulars. The Author states facts correctly, without the slightest attempt to misrepresent. The philosophic Priestley, as well as Messrs. Milner and Haweis, have each trod the same ground, but each comes far short of Mr. Jones in ingenuousness:-varions well written episodes add greatly to the value of the Work, which is enlivened by a number of very interesting auecdotes."-Monthly Review, June, 1814.
