"An Account of the Destruction of the Jesuits in France" by Jean Le Rond d' Alembert

Jean-Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert was a French mathematician, mechanician, physicist, philosopher, and music theorist. In this book, he examines the 16th and 17th-century Catholic reform in France's politics and nobility. During this time, the Jesuits had much influence on the outcome of matters, a fact that d'Alembert knew much about.
