From the doubts these Paradoxes imply, it seems reasonable to suppose that Bacon was of those who believe that religion should be taught in a symbolical and mystical language that the initiated and learned few may understand, and the great multitude believe; and also that its true meaning should be veiled and hidden in paradoxes and parables, "that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand."-Preface.

"The superiority of the skeptical parts of the Savoyard Vicar's profession over the fashionable method of assault, lay in the fact that while the latter only revolted and irritated all serious temperaments to whom religion is a matter of honest concern, the former actually appealed to their religious sense in support of his doubts; and the more intelligent and sincere this sense happened to be, the more surely would Rousseau's gravely urged objections dissolve the hard particles of dogmatic belief.-John Morley.

Who, after a pastoral service of thirty years in France, wholly abjured religious dogmas, and asked God's pardon for having taught the Christian religion. He left this volume as his last Will and Testament to his parishioners and to the world.

The work of the honest pastor is the most curious and the most powerful thing of the kind that the last century produced. . . Paine and Voltaire had reserves, but Jean Meslier had none. He keeps nothing back; and yet, after all, the wonder is not that there should have been one priest who left that testimony at his death, but that all priests do not.-James Parton.

This is undoubtedly one of the best and most useful books ever published. It eloquently advocates the best interests of mankind, and clearly points out the sources of human ignorance and misery. The author is supposed to meet in the ruins of Palmyra an apparition or phantom, which explains the true principles of society, and the causes of both the prosperity and the ruin of ancient states. A general assembly of the nations is at length convened, a legislative body formed, the source and origin of religion, of government, and of laws discussed, and the Law of Nature-founded on justice and equity - is finally proclaimed to an expectant world.

"VOLNEY'S Ruins will be read with as much interest to-day as it was a hundred years ago. It is a book that was born to immortality and a hundred years to come it will be as fresh as it is to-day"-Religio-Philosophical Journal.
