The second volume of Essai sur les moeurs et l'esprit des nations undertakes to accurately represent the world, from the reign of Louis XI to the beginning of the century of Louis XIV. With a synthetic approach, Voltaire offers a broad picture of peoples' methods, uses, and beliefs in order to apprehend the spirit of nations and explore the "mystery of the world."
