BERGIER, (Nicolas-Sylvestre). Le Deisme Refute Par Lui-Meme: Ou Examen, en forme de Lettres, des principes d'incredulite repandus dans les divers Ouvrages de M. Rousseau... Quartieme Edition, Revue et Corrigee.
A Paris: Chez Hublot..., 1764. Two parts bound in one volume. Fourth edition. Tall 12mo., full contemporary calf, raised bands, gilt compartments, (6), 280; (4),256, (2), 8pp. ads. The first part is lacking the half-title, library stamp on the title-page of part one (no other markings), some wear to the upper corner of the rear board but certainly very good.
Nicolas-Sylvestre Bergier [1715-1790] French Catholic theologian who was a critic of the ‘philosophes.' ‘A pious priest and an energetic student, he devoted a great part of his time to writing in defence of religion. He agreed to correct certain articles of the "Encyclopédie", but found himself obliged to write entirely original articles which then formed the "Dictionnaire de théologie" as a part of the "Encyclopédie". Among his apologetical and theological works, the most important are: "Le déisme refuté par lui-même" (Paris, 1765); "La certitude des preuves du christianisme" (Paris, 1767, also published in Migne's "Démonstrations évangéliques", XI); "Reponses aux Conseils raisonnables de Voltaire" (Paris, 1771, also in Migne, ibid.); "Apologie de la religion chrétienne" — against d'Holbach's "Christianisme devoile" (Paris, 1769); "Réfutation des principaux articles du dictionnaire philosophique"; "Examen du materialisme" (Paris, 1771); "Traité historique et dogmatique de la vraie religion" (Paris, 1780, and 8 vols. 8vo., 1820).'
