François-Vincent Toussaint (1715-1772)

"François-Vincent Toussaint (21 December 1715 - 22 June 1772) was a French writer most famous for Les Mœurs (The Manners). The book was published in 1748 and banned the same year; it was prosecuted and burned by the French court of justice.

Toussaint worked with Denis Diderot and Marc-Antoine Eidous on a French translation of Dr. Robert James' A Medicinal Dictionary (the London publication of 1743-1745, fol. 3 vols, became Dictionnaire universel de medicine, published in Paris 1746-1748, fol. 6 vols). He later contributed to the first volumes of the Encyclopédie of Jean le Rond d'Alembert and Diderot." - (en.wikipedia.org 03.01.2021)
