The System of Nature, Volume 1 is Baron d'Holbach's philosophical treatise, first published in French in 1770 under the pseudonym Mirabaud. In essay form it sets out a materialist view of nature, denying spirit and the supernatural and treating matter and motion as the basis of the world. It offers a clear window into radical Enlightenment thought.
