[ MISCELLANEOUS AND J.lTt^^TF~
j ROUSSEAU’S OPINION OF THE BIBLE
AND ITS AUTHOR.
I Tilts divine book, the only brie which is
| indispensable to the Ciirtsun, need only
! read with reflection to inspire love for
J rts Auttiur, nud tite m >st ardout desire to
j obe y 'l* precepts Never did virtue speak
so sweet a language; never was tho pro
i found wisdom expressed wi'h so much en*
| er Ky ai ‘fl simplicity. No oue can arise
from i:s perusal tviihoiti feoliug himself
better than he was before.
Ihe m ijosty ol the Scriptures strikes
me with astonishment, and the sanctity of
the Gospel addresses itself to my heart.
Look at the volumes of the philosophers]
with a I their pomp; how coniemptable do
they appear to comparison to this! Is it
possible that a boolc at once so simple and
sublime, can bo the work of man? Can he
who is the subject of its history be himself
•» mere man? Was his the toue of an en
thusiast or ot an ambitious sectary? What
sweetness! What purity in his manners !
t.l.te command over ins passions!
who could so live, suffer, ami die without
weakness und without ostentation! Wueti
Plato described his imiginaty good man,!
covered iviti? all the disgrace of crim ~ yet
worthy of all the rewards of virtue, he de- |
scribed exactly the character of Jesus I
Christ. The resemblance was so striking!
it could not be mistaken and all the fathers
of the church perceived it. What pre- !
possession, what blindness must it be, lo
compare the son of SophrooiCus to the
Son of Mary! A'hat an immeasurable dis
tance between them! Socrates’dying with-;
out pain, easily supported Ins character to
tho last; aud if his death, however, had i
no; cimvned it is life, it might iiave been!
doubted whether Bocr«tes, with all his wis
dom, was any thing more than a mere so
pnist. He invented, it is said, the theory
of moral science. Others, however, lud
before him put it in practice; and ho had
nothing to do but to tell what they had
done, and to reduce their examples to pre
cept. Aristides had been just, before So
crates had defined what justice was. Le
onides had died for his country, before So
crates made it a duty to love ones coun
try. Sparta had been temperate, before
Socrates had eulogised sobriety; and be
fore he celebrated the praises of virtue,
Greece had abounded with virtuous men.
But from whom of all his countrymen
could Jesus have derived that sublime anti
pure morality, of wriichheonly has given
us both the precepts und example? In tin
amidst of tho most licentious fanaticism, th
voice of the sublimqst wisdom was heard,
and simplicity of the most heroic virtu
iiiuniiuue.
The death of Socrates, peaceably philo
sophising with his triends, is the most pleas
ant that coulu be desired! That of Jesus
expiring in torments, outraged, reviled, ann
execrated, by a whole nation, is the most
horrible that could be feared Socrates, in
receiving the cup of poison, blessed tne
weeping executioner who presented it; but
Jesus, in the pmulst of excruciating tor
ture, prayed for his tuerciloss tormentors
Y'-s! if the life and death of Socrates were
those of a sage, the life and death of Jesus
were those of a God Smll that
ttie evangelical history is mere fictiou ?
It* does not bear the stamp of fiction, but
ttie contrary The history of Socrates,
which nobody doubts, is not so well attest
ed as that of Jesus Christ. Such an as
sertion, in fact, only shifts the difficulty,
without moving it. It is more inconceiva
ble that a number of pe sons should have
agteed to fabricate this book, than that one
only should have furnished the subject of
it.
The Jewish authors are incapable of the
diction, and sit angers to the morality con
tained in tite gospel, the marks of whose
'ruths are so silking, so perfectly inimi
table, that the inventor would be a more
astonishing man than the hero.

take up the gauntlet. Tho Governot iays
it down as a ptiiictple that liie Sou'hern
S'ates have a right to revolt from the Gen
