A collection of Blaise Pascal's thoughts on religion and other subjects, in the article arrangement inherited from Port-Royal. It opens with the "Life of Blaise Pascal" by his sister Gilberte Périer and the "Conversation with M. de Sacy"; it then gathers the Pensées in twenty-five articles —from the critique of the atheists' indifference to the proofs of Jesus Christ and the wretchedness of man— and closes with minor works (The Geometrical Spirit, The Art of Persuasion, Discourse on the Passions of Love) and various letters. The Port-Royal additions are indicated in brackets.

Garnier Frères edition (Paris), undated on the title page, of the classic text of the Pensées with the Port-Royal additions in brackets. Printed by Charles Blot (rue Bleue, 7). Sources place it around 1867 (third quarter of the nineteenth century). Half-leather binding with corners, raised bands and gilt tooling, and marbled endpapers. From the library of Alfred Gallart i Genís.
