Excerpt from The Skeptics of the French Renaissance

Baptiste Morin, Gilles de Roberval, Jean Stilla, and Pierre Gassendi, were superior to those who followed in the steps and propagated the teaching of Galileo Galilei. We must regard as part of this larger learning in mathematics and physical science, the greater amplitude and diversity of skeptical free-thought which we have already asserted to characterize French philosophy. The bearing of this point on the subject - matter of the present volume is that which its readers ought especially to bear in mind.
