| Voltaire was simply a pen name, but he wrote many books about all sorts of things, including a secular history book, and Elements of the Philosophy of Newton, where he explained Newton’s theories to the general population. He originated from a bourgeoisie class, but became friends with Frederick the Great and other high class nobility. | Chapter 8 Page 320 .: 8th Edition :. |
