Leonhard Euler, 1707-1783, Swiss mathematician, on the invitation of the Empress Catherine I, spent a number of years in St. Petersburg,
where the first edition of this book, written at the request of the Princess of Anhalt-Dessau, appeared in 1768-1772. The
edition of 1787-89, according to Quérard, “devait être accompagnée d’un quatrième volume de notes de Condorcet, et dont on
fait peu de cas, parce qu’elle n’est point belle et que Condorcet y a supprimé plusieurs passages favorables à la religion
chrétienne.” Euler was a close friend of Daniel Bernoulli, q.v.
For the Marquis de Condorcet, see the Index.
Silvestre François Lacroix, 1763-1843, French mathematician.
