Second Edition (?) of this satirical work "ridiculing the incompetence, greed, and charlatanry of a gallery of prominent French physicians" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography) It was suppressed by order of the Paris Parlement, 9 July, 1746. . La Mettries attacks on his colleagues in this and two other works and the atheistic views expounded in his Histoire naturelle de lâme forced him to flee to Holland to escape arrest and imprisonment. There he published his most notorious book, LHomme Machine (1748), the outspoken materialism and atheism of which proved too risqué even for the Dutch, and he was compelled to flee again, this time to the court of Frederick II of Prussia, where he was appointed a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, as well as reader and physician to the King.

The work, which was dedicated to Maupertuis, provoked a scandal and was officially condemned by the Paris Parlement.
