Hello guys it’s me Voltaire writing another
blog on what’s up currently in my life. Well the year is 1727, and I am
blogging from the beautiful country of England. You may be asking why I’m here
and not in my hometown Paris.. Well I insulted the powerful young nobleman,
"Chevalier De Rohan," in 1726 and was given two options: imprisonment
or exile. I chose to be exiled from 1726 to 1729 and I will have to live in
England till that date. During my time in England so far, I have been attracted
to the philosophy of the genius, John Locke and ideas of mathematician and
scientist, Sir Isaac Newton. During my free time I have been studying England's
Constitutional Monarchy and its religious tolerance, which I believe is quiet
great. One of the things that are particularly interesting to me is the
philosophical rationalism of this time, and the study of the natural sciences.
I feel like writing a book to let the world know how good England is, but I am
still not for sure.
