  • Summary

    This advertisement of the publication of Johann Heinrich Lambert's correspondence appeared on 4 February 1782. In a second notice, Herr Bernoulli announced that the first part of the correspondence is to be followed by the first volume of philosophical and philological treatises and the second volume of the correspondence then towards the end of March 1783. The second volume was of the philosophical treatises and the third and fourth were on the correspondence. His acuteness in discriminating what is deficient in all sciences, in thinking up masterful proposals and experiments to complete them, his project of transforming the decadent taste of the age can perhaps contribute more forcefully than anything else to breathe new life into the nearly extinguished zeal of scholars for the dissemination of useful and thorough science, and induce them to establish a confederation that works against the prevailing barbarism.
