. The works of Voltaire : a contemporary version with notes. e Dominican embraced each other, and even the devout Italians were at length con-vinced that the earth turns round. An augur and a senator lamented, in the time ofCsesar, the declining state of the republic. The times, indeed, are very bad, said the sen-ator ; we have reason to tremble for the liberty ofRome. Ah! said the augur, that is not the greatestevil; the people now begin to lose the respect whichthey formerly had for our order. We seem barelyto be tolerated—we cease to be necessary. Some gen-erals have the assurance to give battle without con-sulting us. And, to complete our misfortunes, eventhose who sell us the sacred pullets begin to reason.

She loved (but with a most chaste and vir-tuous affection) an excellent musician, who playedadmirably on the bass-viol. Her husband killed hermusician before her face; and in the sequel her goodfriend and relative. Queen Elizabeth, who called her-self a virgin, caused her head to be cut off on a scaf-fold covered with black, after having confined her inprison for the space of eighteen years. That was very cruel, replied the lady, and pres-ently relapsed into her former me
