Bengesco [II, pp.415-417] comments at length on the difference between this edition and that of Geneva at Robert. The text in Rey's edition goes as far as the hardback edition of the Robert edition except for the last sentence. S
ome hypotheses suggest that it was Diderot who had this Amsterdam edition published, whereas Madame de Caylus's manuscript had been passed from hand to hand for several years. However, a few rare copies have a 22-page notebook with a preface by Voltaire which is absent from our copy [cf. Bengesco].

Voyage en Espagne Par Mr. Le Marquis De Langle.

In this work, the author makes a biting satire of the government, religion and morals of the Spanish. King Charles III complained to the French government and threatened to close the entrance to his kingdom to all French people. Parliament ordered, in February 1786, that a copy of "Voyage en Espagne" would be delivered to the flames by the hand of the executioner. This auto-da-fé delighted de Langle who had written: "My work will surely be reduced to ashes: so much the better! (...) It brings good luck; the public likes burnt works.".
