The writings gathered together in volume 73 of the Complete works
were substantially written in 1771, when Voltaire was seventy-six
years old. Despite periods of illness and difficulties with his
failing eyesight, Voltaire maintained a literary output of
astonishing energy and variety. His commitment to la philosophie,
his political convictions, and his emerging passion for justice,
led him to participate in crucial public debates. In the 'age of
reform' which was beginning, Voltaire eagerly took up the challenge
of influencing events with his writings.
