This review is from: Bayle: Political Writings (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought) (Paperback)
Spinoza did not reach the New World, but Bayle's Dictionary of terms, was widely accesible; and through it, Dutch thought had a larger influence in the 17-18 centuary America that is recognized.
