Notes

Review with excerpts in the Critical Review vol. 20 (1797), p. 433-445: 'A very lively picture of that general corruption of principle, and horrid dissoluteness of conduct, which pervaded all the higher classes of society under the old despotism of France. It will certainly provide a very strong argument in favour of republicanism': https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ETsFAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA3-PA428&dq=The+system+of+nature,+or,+the+laws+of+the+moral+and+physical+world.+Translated+from+the+French+of+M.+Mirabaud+1797&hl=nl&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj02_iEiuzuAhWSQ0EAHb8UCyIQ6wEwAnoECAMQAQ#v=onepage&q=The%20system%20of%20nature%2C%20or%2C%20the%20laws%20of%20the%20moral%20and%20physical%20world.%20Translated%20from%20the%20French%20of%20M.%20Mirabaud%201797&f=false.

A lenghty praise of Diderot's philosophical and literary genius appears at the beginning of the translated work.
