This romance, when it appeared in 1762, created a great noise and a great scandal. The Archbishop Of Paris, Christophe de Beaumont, saw in it a dangerous, mischievous work, and gave himself the trouble of writing a long encyclical letter in order to point out the book to the reprobation Of the faithful. This document Of twenty-seven chapters is a formal refutation Of the theories advanced in Emile.
