...baron had lent them all to Dieckmann, and he had brought them home with him to St. Louis. All in all, to the tiny band of Diderot scholars it was the greatest discovery ever. It would mean a complete new look at the man Dieckmann holds was certainly "on a level with Voltaire, Rousseau and Montesquieu." For students of the 18th Century, Dieckmann's find was beaten only by one other: the discovery of the Boswell Malahide papers (TIME, Nov. 29), which had also turned up forgotten in an ancient castle...
