1893.] THE DATES OF THE ' ENCYCLOP^DIE MfiTHODIQUE.' 58lt 



Tom. IV. Insectes. Five " discourses preliminaires " (pp. i- 

 cclxxsviii and i-ccclxxiii) by Mauduyt are prefixed: 

 (Gueneau de Montbeillard, who had beeu entrusted with 

 the work, died before lie could carry out his mission). 

 Mauduyt also contributed some of the articles, which he 

 signed. Olivier took up the systematic portion of the 

 work from the beginning (pp. 1-322). 1789.

\_Note. — "M. Olivier, oblige de s'absenter pendant 

 plusieurs annees pour remplir dans le Levant una mission 

 de Grouvernement, reprend ici la redaction de ce Diction- 

 naire, qui avoit eto confiee a d'autres personnes depuis la 

 lettre L." That is to say, from vol. vii. p. 601 to vol. viii. 

 p. 45 (on which page is the note quoted). As B. E. 

 Manuel signed the last page of vol. vii. and the article 

 so signed was not completed, it is probable that he was 

 the chief person to whom the work was entrusted.]
