Résumé
John P appas : A little white female whippet. Unpublished letters of D'Alembert and Mlle de Lespinasse to Louis Dutens. This article presents ten unpublished letters, discovered in the archives of Coutts in London, to L. Dutens, a French Protestant in England. As chargé d'affairs in Turin he had met Lagrange who introduced him to D'Alembert ; hence the references to Italian savants and to Lagrange, now in Frederick II' s court on D'Alembert' s recommendation. Much of the correspondence in 1766-68 deals with Mlle de Lespinasse's request for a white female whippet and how it is to be delivered ; the one letter by MUe de Lespinasse thanks him for his guidebook to Europe (1775). There are also references to the Rousseau-Hume quarrel and the Jesuits in England. Despite Dutens' s anti-Voltairian Le Tocsin (1769) D'Alembert remained on good terms with him, no doubt in part because he obtained a pension for Diderot in 1774.
