The Story Of The Atrocious Letter To Saint-Lambert

Was Rousseau a calumniator when, in the preface to his Lettre à d'Alembert, he accused Diderot of having destroyed their friendship by "upbraidings and arrogance, by the betrayal of a secret, and by a treacherous blow?"

This eloquent Letter (Rousseau's criticism upon d'Alembert's article upon Geneva in the Encyclopœdia) appeared in October 1758. Here is the passage in the preface that announced the author's rupture with Diderot to their mutual friends.

"Taste, choice and correctness of language must not be looked for in this work. Living alone, I have shown it to no one. I once possessed a severe and judicious Aristarchus: I have him no longer: and I do not wish for his help; but I shall always regret him. And my heart suffers even more from his loss than my writings do.
