Some of the thought whenever you fought it the powers increased its popularity, and this was the case in the early nineteenth century, when the French authorities tightened the grip on "Voltaire" and his book "Philosophical Letters" was subject to censorship and burning. This book, which was considered in France at that time to be contrary to religion and inciting atheism, and against the social system, was written by Voltaire during his stay in exile in England, driven by his observation of the vast difference between the English and French societies on many levels. Thus, these Enlightenment messages are filled with comparisons regarding the government and parliamentary systems, ecclesiastical and priestly life, as well as scientific and academic aspects, and related to the system of caring for arts and literature in both countries. Voltaire most often praises English figures such as "Newton" and English experiences like the "Quakers," at the expense of criticizing French personalities like "Descartes" and the theologian "Blaise Pascal."
