Miscellaneous Reflections V2: Occasioned By The Comet Which Appeared In December 1680, Chiefly Tending To Explode Popular Superstitions (1708) is a book written by Pierre Bayle. The book is a collection of essays and reflections that were written in response to the appearance of a comet in December 1680.
