Paulian's physics dictionary enjoyed considerable success and was reprinted many times with additions; its success stems from the breadth of its scope - from divining rods to scholars, comets, and the dry parts of arithmetic, through to the latest aerostatic experiments - and the didactic quality of the articles; Paulian, long a professor at Avignon, indeed possessed the talent of explaining the most complex things in an accessible manner without betraying them, notably the case for the Newtonian system which he particularly favored. This dictionary is therefore not intended for scholars but for a public with an amateur interest in science.
