Events
thumb|Extract from the frontispiece of the Encyclopédie (1772). It was drawn by Charles-Nicolas Cochin and engraved by Bonaventure-Louis Prévost. The work is laden with symbolism: The figure in the center represents Truth, surrounded by bright light (the central symbol of the Enlightenment). Two other figures on the right, Reason and Philosophy, are tearing the veil from Truth.

October 10 – Samuel Johnson's edition of The Plays of William Shakespeare is published in London after ten years in the making.
Summer – Denis Diderot completes the Encyclopédie. The title pages of volumes 8 through 17, published together in 1765, show Neufchastel as the place of publication. Neuchâtel was safely across the French border in what is now part of Switzerland but which was then an independent principality, where production of the Encyclopédie would have been secure from interference by the French state. Meanwhile, the actual production of volumes 8 through 17 quietly continued, presumably in Paris, but perhaps somewhere else.Weil. To minimize publicity, the French government seems to have stipulated that the final volumes be released at the same time. The volumes were apparently finished in the summer of 1765, allowing delivery to begin by the end of the year.Boussuge.
