Originally published in 1945, this book constitutes the companion volume to The Apology of Pascal (1942); both volumes were formed using selections from Pascal's Pensees. The text contains his meditations and prayers, notes for his anti-Jesuit campaign, and remarks on language and style. An index and preface by the editor are also provided. This is a highly informative book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in Pascal and his late thought."
