PHILOSOPHICAL

DICTIONARY.

FROM THE FRENCH OF

M. DE VOLTAIRE.

Without Philosophy, we should be little above the animals that dig or erect their
habitations, prepare their food in them, take care of their little ones in their dwellings,
and have, besides, the good fortune, which we have not, of being born ready-clothed.
Article ANTIQUITY, Vol. 1. p. 89.

How charming is divine Philosophy!

Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose,

But musical as is Apollo's lute,

And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets,

Where no crude surfeit reigns.

MILTON'S COMUS, Scene 2.

IN TWO VOLUMES.

VOLUME THE FIRST.

TO WHICH IS PREFIXED A CRITICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR, AND A
MEDALLION PORTRAIT OF THE AUTHOR.
