Pelletier de Senlis: Traité sur les quatre Fins Dernieres de l'Homme, dédié a S.A. Monseigneur Le Duc D'Orleans. A Paris, 1749.
Rare pietistic work intended (cf. introduction) to encourage fear, with chapters on death, judgment, hell and heaven. It is dedicated to the First Prince of the Blood, the Duke of Orleans (1703-1752), a man of great piety who lived at the Abbaye Saint-Geneviève de Paris. At his own death, one priest refused him last rites on suspicion of Jansenist views.
