'Altogether this is an important and useful collection which underlines how unjustly neglected this fascinating figure has been until recently.' William Doyle, University of Bristol in English Historical Review, 117:473 (2002) '[...]the Abbe Gregoire and His World will become required reading for all those who seek to understand the Revolution, its protagonists, and our indebtedness to both.' Frances Malino, Wellesley College in Journal of the History of Philosophy, 40:2 (2002)
