This work is a valuable addition to understanding issues of the
press and censorship in France. Rodmell's introduction emphasizes
publication problems faced by writers in eighteenth- century
France. This edition includes Malesherbes's first and second
Memoire, to which Rodmell adds seventeen pages of notes. In his
Memoire, Malesherbes suggests changes to the book trade and
condemns censorship's arbitrary nature. Rodmell's introductory
analysis proposes that Malesherbes wanted to make censorship a tool
for liberalism.
