disagree  Tony M: I don't think it's 'with public taste' in general — rather with YOUR specific taste — this is not a judgement issue ("what is good taste?") but rather "you may not like it" / Adding 'général' implies it is some intrinsic, absolute quality common to all.

agree  Anne-Marie Laliberté (X): Taste is always specific to someone or some people. It cannot be otherwise. It is thus implied.

appropriation au goût général [du public]


Explanation:

...pas exclusivement sous le rapport de la forme et de l'apparence, mais sous le rapport bien autrement important de l'appropriation à vos goûts, à vos besoins.

Un auteur qui voudroit heurter le goût général composeroit bientôt pour lui seul.

  -> Justement, avec "goût général", on évite le piège du jugement ("bon goût"). On pose qu'il y a un goût général, bon ou mauvais. Mais d'accord avec le fait qu'il s'agit plutôt de goûts individuels.
