ResumoRobert Loy : A forgotten letter from Voltaire. This letter from Voltaire to François-Antoine Chevrier (early 1758) has somehow escaped inclusion in the Besterman Correspondence. It is not an inédit , and must be considered a minor addition to the vast correspondence of a great writer. Nevertheless, it gives additional insight into Voltaire as a political analyst, as a historian (particularly the period of the Seven-Years' War) and as a European celebrity coping with his public image.
