Written by Jean-Pierre De Crousaz, a Swiss philosopher and theologian, the book was first published in 1742 and aimed to provide a detailed critique of Pope�������s work.

Crousaz also critiques Pope�������s use of language and poetic devices, suggesting that they are often used to obscure his arguments rather than clarify them. He suggests that Pope�������s reliance on metaphor and allegory can lead to confusion and misinterpretation of his ideas.
