Voltaire on Elizabeth and a Paris siege noted
The lettered critique compares Elizabeth I with Catholic and Protestant conflicts, noting her policies toward religion, mercy vs. justice, and the executions of Jesuits Creighton and Campion. It contrasts Adanson’s ostrich observations in Senegal with colonial travel anecdotes, describing the bird’s size, strength, and behavior.
