OLTAIRE’S PHILOSOPHICAL DICTIONARY. Reprinted verbatim
from the Six vol. edition, sold at 50s. The work is embellished with

Opinion op

“ Dispatch.”
•• Voltaire’s Philosophical Dictionary.—This is a translation, in two volumes, of that magnificent
work which must hand the name of Voltaire down to the latest posterity. We have compared it
with the French edition in three volumes, and find that the English version is a most iaithiuJ one,
fully preserving the spirit of the original, and in no way abridged. The work is, of course, a very
valuable one, and should have a place on the shelves of all persons who accumulate useful books.
It is printed in a clear, legible type, and in a manner to be easy of reference. The publisher has
done very wisely to compress the entire contents of this encyclopaedia into two volumes oi con
venient size, inasmuch as he places an admirable work within the reach of those persons whose
means would not permit them to procure a larger and more expensive edition. It is impossible to
contemplate this ‘ Dictionary ’ without being struck by the Grandeur and comprehensiveness of
that intellect which, alone and unassisted, could produce a work embracing so many and such varied
subjects. Ingenious theories, exposures of historical or popular fallacies, philosophical essays,
physics, metaphysics, in a word, all branches of learning, science and art, are the topics which
evoked the brilliant wit, or tested the profound wisdom of France’s greatest philosopher. Although
much of the philosophy of that school to which Voltaire belonged has been since exploded;
although many of his theories have been displaced by others which have been supported by
fi.rgnmp.Dt-8 or proved by experiments of which he never dreamt; although, in fine, much of his
reasoning on physics is now pointless, yet on the whole, and taken as a whole, the * Philosophical
Dictionary ’ is most valuable and most useful, not only as the record of a great man s opinions, but
also in those very many departments where his comments and observations do really apply to the
affairs or uiruuiusuajiues 01 viie piesviiu
auaira or circumstances of the present day. We <uu glad to find that an English publisher has

From the “ Westminster Review.”
u Many of his philosophical sayings and dogmas, which were received in his own
day with reverent admiration, or with shouts of denunciation, are universally recog
nized now as the mere commoa places of truth, or as paradoxes whose extravagance
needs no refutation. But the satirical wit which he brought to the exposure of some
actual grievance or genuine folly remains immortal—keen and fresh as ever, although
the grievance and the folly have long passed away. One popular idea of Voltaire
is that of a mere scoffer at sacred things, a ribald reviler of the best human senti
ments. Another common notion of him is that of a cold sceptic, who subjected
everything to the test of a narrow reasoning process ; a man who cared nothing
personally either for good or evil ; who was all brain and no heart. If these romances
fairly reflect the real nature of Voltaire, they exhibit the character of a warm-hearted,
sensitive, undiscriminating man, who sickened over human suffering and human
persecution, and who employed, with an almost reckless prodigality, against the
enemies he hated most, the instinctive weapon of wit which served him best.
“ What shortens the average lives of Frenchmen ; what makes men poor, and keeps
them so ; what embitters domestic life ; what renders children blessings instead of
curses ; what stifles freethought; what turns philosophy to a sham ; these were the
questions with which his sympathies tormented Voltaire. He thought that the state
of society around him gave answers to many of them, which he determined to
interpret into intelligible language. These satirical Romances are valuable because
they contain Voltaire’s explanations of the condition of France in his day. War,
religion, hypocrisy, religious intolerance, court domination and court intrigue, super
ficial or quack philosophy, idlers, soldiers, and priests—these Voltaire looked upon
as the national evils of France ; therefore his romances are simply satires directed
unchangingly and perseveringly against all these enemies.
“Voltaire was particularly angry with some of those who invented consolation for
men’s misery. He flamed up especially against those who endeavoured to satisfy
unquiet minds with the shallow quibbles which passed for optimism, and whose whole
secret consisted in calling a disagreeable thing by a fine name.
“ The purpose which animates every one of the tales, and the wit which gives force
and brightness to every one of them, are the characteristics for which they merit to
be immortal. No cold sceptic, working with unimpassioned heart and bitter tongue,
is discernible to the reader who gives them an impartial study, but a sensitive and
impulsive man, whose earnest nature lent fire to his matchless wit. That weapon of
wit which in these satires \oltaire wielded honestly for the sake of his fellow men,
was surely tLe very keenest of its kind ever employed in such a cause. Some of
these romances preserve its finest achievements. Voltaire’s wit is not like Molibre’s,
for it never exuberates ; or Pascal’s, for it never acknowledges earnestness ; or Le
Sage’s, for it is never sprightly and careless ; or Goldsmith’s, for it is never childlike ;
or Swift s, for it is never savage ; or Sydney Smith’s, for it never plays upon words •
or Douglas Jerrold’s, for
never outwardly exhibits bitterness. . . . But Vol
taire’s wit is of a kind which owes nothing of its preservation to its subject. On ths
contrary, there could be no topic so ephemeral and trifling which, encased in the
umber of that incomparable satire, would not remain pi eserved for ever.”

NOTICES OF THE PRESS;
“This is a ‘Prize Essay,’ but unlike the majority of prize essays, it shows real
power and independent strength. But as the preface hints, the offering of a prize fbr
such a work only suggested to the author the writing of this book as an utterance ‘ on
theological matters,’ after having been silent for thirteen years, since his ‘quiet with
drawal from Christianity.’ As a Christian minister, he tells us he has well studied the
beliefs of Christendom and the grounds of them ; and now be assures us- he has ‘ almost
daily pursued his researches after the real origin of the Christian religion.’ The result
of his inquiries, on both sides, are here in the massive volume before us. Ostensibly
the work is an examination of the evidences for and against the prophecies of Christ,
especially those prophecies which relate to the supposed drawing nigh of the end of th'?
world ; but in reality, it is an elaborate review of the life, character, and teachings of
Christ. With regard to the prophecies relating to the end of the world, the arguments
on both sides are really well stated, with great fidelity and equal fulness. '1 he con
clusion he arrives at is that Christ predicted the end of the world and the day oi
judgment as events then just at hand, and that, in consequence, we ought to rigarffl
Christ as ‘neither a deity nor in supernatural communication with the deity.’
“Mr. Meredith is a shrewd, clear, and incisive writer, and says the sharpest and
most outright things possible on the subject in hand. He is evidently a man of con
siderable reading and great industry ; and, if only for the sake of his frequent notes,
which ane full of information, and particularly rich in quotation and illustration, hi
book deserves attention.
“The Christian reviewer here proceeds, at great length, to defend the character of
Jesus from the charges brought agaiust him by the author, and concludes his critique
by stating that he finds that ‘’the last chapter, which is a refutation of the doctrines
‘‘taught by modern divines ” contains passages of real power, and not a few of
great beauty and eloquence,’ and that ‘ the writer is quite capable of giving us some
thing that may live.’’’--The 1Iev. John Base Hopps, in the Trut/isccker.,
�E. TRUELOVE,
256, ITIGH HOLBORN.
The Prophet of Nazareth—Notices of the Press—continued.
“It is a very serious practical question—what ought to be the result, and what
must be the result, to the clergy, if the conclusions reached by some modern enquirers
touching the unhistorical character of a great part of the New Testament should prove
irrefutable. We refer to such works as Mr. Scott’s just completed English Life of
Jesus, and to the elaborate and comprehensive work, ‘The Prophet of Narazeth,’ by
E. P. Meredith. This last work would have been more popular, and would have
attracted more observation, if it had not been so voluminous. The book is one of
vast research and compass ; of great ability, earnestness, learning, and impartiality.
It is a hard study to master all its varied contents ; and the best and ablest among
the clergy might think it no disparagement to enter the lists with this formidable
Goliah. High priced as the work is, it is cheap in proportion to the amount and
variety of the contents.”—A. F. M. of the English Leader, in an able article—
41 Results of Biblical Criticism.”—Sept. 21st, 1867.
“Never did I feel more covetous of Dr. Johnson’s gift of tearing out the heart
of a book, than on sitting down to review the elaborate work now lying before me.
To the critics described by Theodore Hook, who confine themselves to cutting a page
or two, and then smelling the paper-knife, as a substitute for reading the book, ‘ The
Prophet ’ seems to say :—
‘ Proeul 0 I procul esto profani
Conclamat vates, totoque absistite luco.9
Nor is it wonderful that it has become an established principle with critics to lose
sffiht of the book they are professedly reviewing, and to launch out into matters and
things in general. Having conscientiously read The ‘ Prophet,’ I shall endeavour to
convey to the reader some idea of the work, and my own views thereon. In the
first place, I must express my astonishment, and, to say the truth my disappoint
ment, that this book—a Prize Essay, of closely printed demy 8vo. of 650 pages, price
12s. 6d. (which was published in 1864, and has already reached its second thousand) —
has called forth no orthodox expression of opinion from Lord Shaftesbury. Possibly
his Lordship finds it difficult to improve on his allocution respecting ‘ Ecce Homo ;
for if that book be ‘the worse book ever vomitted forth from the jaws of hell,’ (see
TV. A. Oct. 13th. 1867) what words in the orthodox vocabulary are sufficiently sul
phurous to define ‘The Prophet’? Mr. Francklin’s expressions—‘horrible and
blasphemous production,’ ‘pestilent doctrines,’ &c., are tame and feeble, when com
pared with the truly diabolical imagery of Lord Shaftesbury. It is frightful to think
what fearful figures of rhetoric may be fulminated against Mr. Meredith’s book. It
has been my pleasure and my pride to review this writer hitherto in the character of
a literary tirailleur, an unerring marksman, stalking a bishop, or firing a heavy charge
of swan shot into the retreating Lincolnshire Vicar, who, after commencing the fray
took the earliest opportunity of showing his back to the enemy. Mr. Meredith now
appears in a far grander capacity, as captain of a magnificent iron-clad man-of-war,
which w'ith true .British pluck, he steers right into the midst of the theological
squadron, laying his vessel alongside of the largest ships, and challenging a heavy
fire from all quarters. And tlie theological squadron seem in no haste to return the
raking broadside which he pours in. They appear inclined to sheer off and give
him a wide berth. They seem to argue—logically enough—if the rattle of bis
musketry has put to flight a bishop and a vicar, what will become of us when he
opens fire from bis heavy guns I And so, the word is passed to the orthodox captains
—(id esl, the editors of the religious papers)—‘Do not return the fire of that strange
vessel. Belay there my hearties;’ the powder monkeys (printer’s devils) are all ready
to hand up ammunition, and curses, not loud, but deep, are muttered on ‘the
Infidel.’ But the honible theological earnage is delayed, and ink, shed for a timev
ceases to flow. The smoke from Mr. Meredith’s guns clears away, and, as the
parsons behold the black hull and muzzles of the guns protruding from the open
port-holes, most devoutly do they hope that it will all end in smoke. Truly, it may

be said, ‘ the boldest hold their breath for a time.’ The pause is ominous, but it can
not last. The conflict between priestism and what priests call infidelity must go
on, and the theological policy of a ‘masterly inaction’ will be found as futile as it is
inglorious. To drop metaphor : the orthodox papers, the Guardian, Record, John
Bull, Christian World, et id genus omne, pursue the worldly-wise policy of ignoring
this book, which is a magnificent addition to the literature of Freethought, and a
poweiful effort to substitute terra firm in lieu of the pestiferous bogs of
superstition, and theological sloughs of despond. I have the more pleasure
in stating this, as it is not my intention to plaster the volume or its author
with unqualified praise ; but all candid persons, oithodvx or heterodox, will
admit that there cannot be two opinions as to the erudition, the patient
industry, and the great moral courage manifested by Mr. Meredith. The writer of
this elaborate work manifests great scholarship and great patience ; and Buffon has
said, ‘ Le Genie, c’est la Patience.' The judicial spirit of impartiality is also strikingly
manifested in the arguments for and against the orthodox view of the character of
Jesus. ‘The prefixed advertisement will show the conditions under which the work
was written, and will explain the cause that considerable portions of it are written
on the Christian side of the argument. The portions of the work devoted exclusively
to the advocacy of Christianity are from page 9 to 5), and from 245 to 253. Should
any Chiistian reader be so conscious of the weakness of his faith as to desire to know
only what can be said in favour of his religion, he is recommended to confine himself
exclusively to the perusal of these pages, and, when he has read them, to shut the
book, lest his prejudice be irritated, or his mind roused to critical inquiry.’ On first
reading the above, I was irresistibly reminded of the polished irony of Gibbon, as
displayed particularly in the 15th and 16th chapters of his immortal work. Indeed,
there is a good deal, both in the literary style and in the position of this brave
Meredith attacking superstition from his philosophic retreat in Monmouth, which
recalls those noble lines of Byron, where, after depicting the philosopher of Ferney,
he refers to the philosopher of Lausanne.............................. But on reading the
portions referred to, it will be found that our author has fully borne out this
statement in his preface. ‘ These portions which are strictly orthodox are enforced
with every possible fidelity and strength of reasoning that the writer could command
when he was a sincere believer in the truth of the Chiistian religion,’ &c. On
reading Mr. Baillie’s advertisement, the reader will see that the Prize Essay is
not a desultory discussion of Christianity, but a most pertinent and important
inquiry as to whether certain definite prophecies attributed to Jesus have or have
not been fulfilled. ‘Did Jesus Christ piedict the Last Day of Judgment and
Destruction of the World as events inevitable during the then existent generation of
men ?’ If this question can be answered in the affirmative, then the non-fulfilment
of such a clear and distinct prophecy effectually disposes of the divinity of Jesus.
‘For although to utter true prophecies is no proof that the Drophet is a deity, or
that he has any preternatural communication with deity, r'etto utter false prophecies
is, in the very nature of things, a positive proof that the prophet is not a deity, and
is not in any manner supernaturally influenced by the Supreme Being.’”—AuTONOMOS,
in the National Reformer of July 12th, 1868.
“ Germany has produced its celebrated ‘ Leben Jesu ’ by Strauss, and France its
‘ Vie de Jesus,’ by Renan ; but England has never until now produced any
distinguished or remarkable life of Christ. This has just been accomplished
by Mr. Evan Powell Meredith, whose elaborate work has the English characteristics
of solidity, thorough exhaustiveness, and great clearness of statement. The author
was educated for the Christian ministry ; but he subsequently, to use his own
explicit and courageous words, ‘ quietly withdrew from Christianity, whose
doctrines, after considerable examination and research, he had ceased to believe,
and therefore could no longer conscientiously preach.’ After being for thirteen

years from his secedure silent on theological matters, the offer of the Baillie Prizs
induced him to enter upon the oomposition of this volume, to which he has devoted
the labours of seven years. There are numerous authorities quoted in the work.
Mr. Meredith, acting upon the genuine intuition of literature, enters upon the
examination of his subject with the resources of a scholar, the spirit of a gentleman,
■and the courage of a critic, who knows that the purpose of criticism is the discovery
and estiinate of the truth, and that the duty of a critic is to express an honest,
uncompromising, and disciiminating opinion. The result is a very remarkable and
valuable book of 652 demy 8vo. pages, solid, of more than ordinary width and
length. The Christian reader will find in this volume more information than all the
Crndens, and Kings, and Kittos, and commentators have ever supplied touching the
true characteristics of these most interesting subjects—the predictions, precepts,
actions, discourses, and social intercourse of Jesus Christ; and that stateil in
language which is considerate without weakness, and bold without offence. As
perfect for reference as for leading, the ‘Prophet of Nazaieth’ is accompanied with
a most copious and complete index.”—The Reasoner.
“Believing that the Christian religion is like a goodly vineyard overgrown with
thistlesand weeds, the author sets himself resolutely to the task of destroying the
crowded undergrowth ; and he handles his spade and his scarifier with much skill
and noticeable pluck. . . . Now, whatever may be the merits of the modern
German critics, Bishop Colenso, the Essayists and Reviewers, and the other black
sheep of the Church, there can be no mistake respecting the plainness of Mr.
Meredith’s language or the boldness of his speculations...................................Those
who wish to continue the subject may purchase the volume for themselves. They
will find Mr. Meredith always in earnest, and always gentlemanly in tone.’’—The
Newcastle Daily Chronicle.
“ After reading this volume no one should be unacquainted with the real character
of Christ, and with the nature and tendency of his teachings. We never remember
reading a book with Uss pretension, and at the same time being more exhaustive.
The Christian’s view is fairly stated, and the Freethinker’s position is so well
defended that it forms a complete library ; and all other books on the two-fold
question here discussed may be featlessly dispensed with. As we hope to refer on
more than one occasion to ‘ The Prophet of Nazareth,’ we shall now content ourselves
with quoting,” &c.—The National Reformer.
“ Mr. Meredith appears to have withdrawn quietly from Christianity some years
ago, but to have employed himself with inquiries into its origin ; and in the present
work we have the result, distributed into arguments for and against the divine nature
of its Founder, the reality and accomplishment of his prophecies concerning the
destruction of Jerusalem, the end of the world, and his own resurrection, the
excellence or defects of his teaching, and the probable sources of his precepts.
Mr. Meredith has endeavoured not'to wound unnecessarily the feelings of believers.”

Translated from the French.

A new edition of one of the most famous works of the French Encyclopaedists—Volney’B “Ruins
of Empires’’—has just been issued by Mr. E. Truelove, 256, High Holborn. London. . It is scarcely
necessary to say anything about this remarkable work, except that the present edition is neatly
printed and handsomely bound. Not many readers are perhaps aware tbat Macau'ay’s celebrated
New Zealander was really invented by M. Volney. Here is the passage in the “ Ruins ” which
bears out this assertion :—“ Who knows but that hereafter some traveller like myself will sit down
upon the banks of the Seine, the Thames, or The Zuyder Zee, where now, in the tumult of
enjoyment, the heart and the eyes are too slow to take in the multi'ude of sensations ; who knows
but he will sit down, solitary amid silent ruins, and weep a people iuurned, and their greatness
changed into an empty name?” I may add that M. Volney discusses some of those Eastern
probfems which the European Powers are still endeavouring to solve.—“ Fuck ” in the Newcastle
Chronicle.
The author was a deputy to the National Assembly of 1789> and long shared with Paine and
others a position of eminence among anti-Christian writers. Under the form of an allegory, he
develops his theory of Society, of Law, and of Religion, denounces tyrants and priests of every sort;
and in a supplement entitled, the Laws of Nature, deduces in the form of question and answer his
own principles of morality from the physical constitution of mankind and of the universe. The
hook was once thought to be a literary firebrand of the most malevolent potency, but we have
learned to tolerate such literature as complacently as we regard a bundle of Chinese crackers.
The Edition, which has been entirely reset, is very neatly printed.—The Bookseller.
Mr. Truelove has just published a new edition of that excellent work, “Volney’s Ruins of
Empires.” It is printed remarkably well, and is bound in cloth with much taste.—Secular Review.

“Among the works read in the course of this year (1822) which contributed materially to my
development, I ought to mention a book (written on the foundation of some of Bentham s msnuscripts, and published under the pseudonym of Philip Beauchamp), entitled ‘Analysis oi the
Influence of Natural Religion on the Temporal Happiness of Mankind.’
‘■This was an examination not of the truth, but of the usefulness of relgious belief in the most
eenoral sense, apart from the peculiarities of any special Revelation ; which, of all the parts of th«s
discussion con -eruiug religion, is the most important in this age, in which real belief in any rehgious
doctrine is feeble and precarious, b»t the opinion of its necessity for moral and Bocial purposes
almost universal; and when those who reject revelation very generally take refuge in an optimistic
Deism, a worship of tho order of Nature and the supposed course of Providence, at least as lull ot
contradictions and perverting to the moral sentiments as any of tbe forms of Christianity, 11 only
it ih as completely realized. Yet, very liitle, with any claim to a philosophical character, has Deen
written hy sceptics against the usefulness of this form of belief. .

“The voluira bearing the name of Philip Beauchamp had this for its special object. Having
been shown to my father in manuscript, it was put into my hands by him, and I made a marginal
umilveis of it as I had done of the ‘Elements of Political Economy.’ Next to the Traits de
Ldgis'sfion,’ it was one of the books which, by the searching character of its analysis, produced
She greatest effect upon me. On reading it lately, after an interval of many years, I flnd it to have
some of tho delects as well as the merits of the Beuthamic modes of thought, and to contain, as 1
■bow think, many weak arguments, but with a great overbalance of sound ones, and much good
material for a more completely philosophic and conclusive treatment of the subject.

Btuabt Mill’s Autobiogbapuy, page 69.
“ This essential portion of the inquiry into the temporal usefulness of religion is the subject
of the present Eseay. It is a part which has been little treated of by sceptical writers, lhe only
direct discussion of it with which I am acquainted is in a short treatise, understood to have been
•artly compiled from manuscripts of Mr. Bentham, and abounding in just and profound views;
but which, as it appears to me, presses many parts of the argument too hard. —J. o. Mill a
Essay on tub Utility or Rbligion, page 76.
“ Although not generally known, it is, we believe, a faot that the late Mr. Grote was the a“th<*r
of a treatise on Natural Religion, published under an assumed name so far back as the ye« 18^.

** Voltaire’s Philosophical Dictionary.—This is a translation, in two volumes, of that magnificent
work which must hand the name of Voltaire down to the latest posterity. We have compared it
with the French edition in three volumes, and find that the English version is a most faithfill one,
fully preserving the spirit of the original, and in no way abridged. The work is, of course, a very
valuable one, and should have a place on the shelves of all persons who accumulate useful books.
It is printed in a clear, legible type, and in a manner to be easy of reference. The publisher has
done very wisely to compress the entire contents of this encyclopaedia into two volumes of con
venient size, inasmuch as he places an admirable work within the reach of those persons whose
means would not permit them to procure a larger and more expensive edition. It is impossible to
contemplate this ‘ Dictionary ’ without being struck by the Grandeur and comprehensiveness of
that intellect which, alone and unassisted, could produce a work embracing so many and such varied
subjects. Ingenious theories, exposures of historical or popular fallacies, philosophical essays,
physics, metaphysics, in a word, all branches of learning, science and art, are the topics which
evoked the brilliant wit, or tested the profound wisdom of France’s greatest philosopher. Although
much of the philosophy of that school to which Voltaire belonged has been since exploded;
although many of his theories have been displaced by others which have been supported by
arguments or proved by experiments of which he never dreamt; although, in fine, much of his
reasoning on physics is now pointless, yet on the whole, and taken as a whole, the ‘ Philosophical
Dictionary ’ is most valuable and most useful, not only as the record of a great man’s opinions, but
also in those very many departments where his comments and observations do really apply to tbs
affairs or circumstances of the present day. We are glad to find that an English publisher has
dared to do justice to a man who is much calumniated by our English saints and hypocrites, and
we cordially recommend this edition of the ‘ Philosophical Dictionary ’ te our readers.”

“This is a ‘Prize Essay,’ but unlike the majority of prize essays, it shows real
power and independent strength. But as the preface hints, the offering of a prize for
such a work only suggested to the author the writing of this book as an utterance ‘ on
theological matters,’ after having been silent for thirteen years, since his ‘quiet with
drawal from Christianity.’ As a Christian minister, he tells us he has well studied the
beliefs of Christendom and the grounds of them ; and now he assures us he has ‘ almost
daily pursued his researches after the real origin of the Christian religion.’ The result
of his inquiries, on both sides, are here in the massive volume before us. Ostensibly
ths work is an examination of the evidences for and against the prophecies of Christ,
especially those prophecies which relate to the supposed drawing nigh of the end of the
world ; but in reality, it is an elaborate review of the life, character, and teachings of
Christ. With regard to the prophecies relating to the end of the world, the arguments
on both sides are really well stated, with great fidelity and equal fulness. The con
clusion he arrives at is that Christ predicted the end of the world and the day of
judgment as events then just at hand, and that, in consequence, we ought to regard
Christ as ‘neither a deity nor in supernatural communication with the deity.’
“Mr. Meredith is a shrewd, clear, and incisive writer, and says the sharpest and
most outright things possible on the subject in hand. He is evidently a man of con
siderable reading and great industry ; and, if only for the sake of his frequent notes,
which ane full of information, and particularly rich in quotation and illustration, hi
book deserves attention.
“The Christian reviewer here proceeds, at great length, to defend the character of
Jesus from the charges brought against him by the author, and concludes his critique
by stating that he finds that ‘ the last chapter, which is a refutation of the doctrines
“taught by modern divines’’ contains passages of real power, and not a few of
great beauty and eloquence,’ and that ‘ the writer is quite capable of giving us something that may live.’”—-The Rev. John Page Hopfs. in the Truthseefa?
�E. TRUELOVE,

The Prophet of Nazareth—Notices of the Press—continued.
"It is a very serious practical question—what ought to be the result, and what
must be the result, to the clergy, if the conclusions reached by some modern enquirers
touching the unhistorical character of a great part of the New Testament should prove
irrefutable. We refer to such works as Mr. Scott’s just completed English Life of
Jesus, and to the elaborate and comprehensive work, ‘The Prophet of Narazeth,’ by
E. P. Meredith. This last work would have been more popular, and would have
attracted more observation, if it had not been so voluminous. The book is one of
vast research and compass ; of great ability, earnestness, learning, and impartiality.
It is a hard study to master all its varied contents ; and the best and ablest among
the clergy might think it no disparagement to enter the lists with this formidable
Goliah. High priced as the work is, it is cheap in proportion to the amount and
variety of the contents.”—A. P. M. of the English Leader, in an able article—
“■Results of Biblical Criticism.”—Sept. 21st, 1867.
“Never did I feel more covetous of Dr. Johnson’s gift of tearing out the heart
of a book, than on sitting down to review the elaborate work now lying before me.
To the critics described by Theodore Hook, who confine themselves to cutting a page
or two, and then smelling the paper-knife, as a substitute for reading the book, ‘The
Prophet ’ seems to say :—
‘ Procul 0 / procul esto profani
Conclamat vales, totoque absistite luco*
Nor is it wonderful that it has become an established principle with critics to lose
sight of the book they are professedly reviewing, and to launch out into matters and
things in general. Having conscientiously read The ‘ Prophet,’ I shall endeavour to
convey to the reader some idea of the work, and my own views thereon. In the
first place, I must express my astonishment, and, to say the truth my disappoint
ment, that this book—a Prize Essay, of closely printed demy 8vo. of 650 pages, price
12s. 6d. (which was published in 1864, and has already reached its second thousand)—
has called forth no orthodox expression of opinion from Lord Shaftesbury. Possibly
his Lordship finds it difficult to improve on his allocution respecting ‘ Ecce Homo
for if that book be ‘ the worse book ever vomitted forth from the jaws of hell,’ (see
N. R. Oct. 13th. 1867) what words in the orthodox vocabulary are sufficiently sul.
phurous to define ‘The Prophet’? Mr. Francklin’s expressions—‘horrible and
blasphemous production,’ ‘pestilent doctrines,’ &c., are tame and feeble, when com
pared with the truly diabolical imagery of Lord Shaftesbury. It is frightful to think
what fearful figures of rhetoric may be fulminated against Mr. Meredith’s book. It
has been my pleasure and my pride to review this writer hitherto in the character of
a literary tirailleur, an unerring marksman, stalking a bishop, or firing a heavy charge
of swan shot into the retreating Lincolnshire Vicar, who, after commencing the fray
took the earliest opportunity of showing his back to the enemy.V Mr. Meredith now
appears in a far grander capacity, as captain of a magnificent iron-clad man-of-war,
which with true British pluck, he steers right into the midst of the theological
squadron, laying his vessel alongside of the largest ships, and challenging a heavy
fire from all quarters. And the theological squadron seem in no haste to return the
raking broadside which he pours in. They appear inclined to sheer off and give
him a wide berth. They seem to argue—logically enough—if the rattle of his
musketry has put to flight a bishop and a vicar, what will become of us when he
opens fire from hie heavy guns ! And so, the word is passed to the orthodox captains
—(id est, the editors of the religious papers)—‘Do not return the fire of that strange
vessel. Belay there my hearties;’ the powder monkeys (printer’s devils) are all ready
to hand up ammunition, and curses, not loud, but deep, are muttered on ‘ the
Infidel.’ ’ But the horrible theological earnage is delayed, and ink, shed for a time»
ceases to flow. The smoke from Mr. Meredith’s guns clears away, and, ajs the
parsons behold the black hull and muzzles of the guns protruding from the open
port-holes, most devoutly do they hope that it will all end in smoke. Truly, it may
�E. TRUELOVE, 256, HIGH IIOLBORN.
The Prophet oe Nazareth—Notices of the Press—continued.
be said, ‘ the boldest hold their breath for a time.’ The pause is ominous, but it can
not last. The conflict between priestism and what priests call infidelity must go
on, and the theological policy of a ‘masterly inaction ’ will be found as futile as it is
inglorious. To drop metaphor : the orthodox papers, the Guardian, Record, John
Bull, Christian World, et id genus omne, pursue the worldly-wise policy of ignoring
this book, which is a magnificent addition to the literature of Freethought, and a
powerful effort to substitute terra firma in lieu of the pestiferous bogs of
superstition, and theological sloughs of despond. I have the more pleasure
in stating this, as it is not my intention to plaster the volume or its author
With unqualified praise ; but all candid persons, orthodox or heterodox, will
admit that there cannot be two opinions as to the erudition, the patient
industry, and the great moral courage manifested by Mr. Meredith. The writer of
this elaborate work manifests great scholarship and great patience ; and Buffon has
said, ‘ Le Genie, c’est la Patience.’ The judicial spirit of impartiality is also strikingly
manifested in the arguments for and against the orthodox view of the character of
Jesus. ‘ The prefixed advertisement will show the conditions under which the work
was written, and will explain the cause that considerable portions of it are written
on the Christian side of the argument. The portions of the work devoted exclusively
to the advocacy ol Christianity are from page 9 to 50, and from 245 to 258. Should
any Christian reader be so conscious of the weakness of his faith as to desire to know
only what can be said in favour of his religion, he is recommended to confine himself
exclusively to the perusal of these pages, and, when he has read them, to shut the
book, lest his prejudice be irritated, or his mind roused to critical inquiry.’ On first
reading the above, I was irresistibly reminded of the polished irony of Gibbon, as
displayed particularly in the 15th and 16th chapters of his immortal work. Indeed,
there is a good deal, both in the literary style and in the position of this brave
Meredith attacking superstition from his philosophic retreat in Monmouth, which
recalls those noble lines of Byron, where, after depicting the philosopher of Ferney,
he refers to the philosopher of Lausanne.................................. But on reading the
portions referred to, it will be found that our author has fully borne out this
statement in his preface. ‘ These portions which are strictly orthodox are enforced
with every possible fidelity and strength of reasoning that the writer could command
when he was a sincere believer in the truth of the Christian religion,’ &c. On
reading Mr. Baillie’s advertisement, the reader will see that the Prize Essay is
not a desultory discussion of Christianity, but a most pertinent and important
inquiry as to whether certain definite prophecies attributed to Jesus have or have
not been fulfilled. ‘Did Jesus Christ predict the Last Day of Judgment and
Destruction of the World as events inevitable during the then existent generation of
men ?’ If this question can be answered in the affirmative, then the non-fulfilment
of such a clear and distinct prophecy effectually disposes of the divinity of Jesus.
‘ For although to utter true prophecies is no proof that the prophet is a deity, or
that he has any preternatural communication with deity, yet to utter false prophecies
is, in the very nature of things, a positive proof that the prophet is not a deity, and
is not in any manner supernaturally influenced by the Supreme Being.’”—AUTONOMOS,
in the National Reformer of July 12th, 1868.
“ Germany has produced its celebrated ‘Leben Jesu ’ by Strauss, and France its
‘ Vie de Jesus,’ by Renan ; but England has never until now produced any
distinguished or remarkable life of Christ. This has just been accomplished
by Mr. Evan Powell Meredith, whose elaborate work has the English characteristics
of solidity, thorough exhaustiveness, and great clearness of statement. The author
was educated for the Christian ministry ; but he subsequently, to use his own
explicit and courageous words, ‘ quietly withdrew from Christianity, whose
doctrines, after considerable examination and research, he had ceased to believe,
and therefore could no longer conscientiously preach.’ After being for thirteen

The Prophet of Nazareth—Notices of the Press—continued.
years from his seoedure silent on theological matters, the offer of the Baillie Prias
induced him to enter upon the composition of this volume, to which he has devoted
the labours of seven years. There are numerous authorities quoted in the work.
Mr. Meredith, acting upon the genuine intuition of literature, enters upon the
examination of his subject with the resources of a scholar, the spirit of a gentleman,
and the courage of a critic, who knows that the purpose of criticism is the discovery
and estimate of the truth, and that the duty of a critic is to express an honest,
uncompromising, and discriminating opinion. The result is a very remarkable and
valuable book of 652 demy 8vo. pages, solid, of more than ordinary width and
length. The Christian reader will find in this volume more information than all the
Crudens, and Kings, and Kittos, and commentators have ever supplied touching the
true characteristics of these most interesting subjects—the predictions, precepts,
actions, discourses, and social intercourse of Jesus Christ; and that stated in
language which is considerate without weakness, and bold without offence. As
perfect for reference as for reading, the ‘ Prophet of Nazareth’ is accompanied with
a most copious and complete index.”—The Reasoner.
“Believing that the Christian religion is like a goodly vineyard overgrown with
thistles and weeds, the author sets himself resolutely to the task of destroying the
erowded undergrowth; and he handles his spade and his scarifier with much skiil
and noticeable pluck. . . . Now, whatever may be the merits of the modern
German critics, Bishop Colenso, the Essayists and Reviewers, and the other black
sheep of the Church, there can be no mistake respecting the plainness of Mr.
Meredith’s language or the boldness of his speculations................................... Those
who wish to continue the subject may purchase the volume for themselves. They
will find Mr. Meredith always in earnest, and always gentlemanly in tone.”— The
Newcastle Daily Chronicle.
“ After reading this volume no one should be unacquainted with the real character
of Christ, and with the nature and tendency of his teachings. We never remember
reading a book with less pretension, and at the same time being more exhaustive.
The Christian’s view is fairly stated, and the Freethinker’s position is so well
defended that it forms a complete library ; and all other books on the two-fold
question here discussed may be fearlessly dispensed with. As we hope to refer on
more than one occasion to ‘ The Prophet of Nazareth,’ we shall now content ourselves
with quoting,” &c.—The National Reformer.
“ Mr. Meredith appears to have withdrawn quietly from Christianity some years
ago, but to have employed himself with inquiries into its origin ; and in the present
work we have the result, distributed into arguments for and against the divine nature
of its Founder, the reality and accomplishment of his prophecies concerning the
destruction of Jerusalem, the end of the woi d, and his own resurrection, the
excellence or defects of his teaching, and the orobable sources of his precepts.
Mr. Meredith has endeavoured not to wound uni| scessarily the feelings of believers.’'

�THE QUEEN
E. TRUELOVE,
(QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION, FEBRUARY 1,
1878,)
FOB
PUBLISHING THE HON. ROBERT DALE OWEN’S “ MORAL
PHYSIOLOGY,” AND A PAMPHLET ENTITLED
“INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, AND NATIONAL POVERTY."
{Specially Reported.)
100 pages, also an Appendix (25 pages) containing
“ Authorities ” which Mr. Truelove’s Counsel, W. A. Hunter, Professor
of Roman Law and Jurisprudence, Lond. Univ., was prevented from
using for the defence, owing to the impatience of the Judge, Chief
Justice Cockburn. Price 6d. or in cloth boards, Is. post free.
“ There is one thing undoubtedly not to be lost sight of, namely, that this is not one of
those books intended to inflame the imagination and passions. There are zn it no
indelicate or indecent (Hags, or lascivious descriptions of marriage. It is not one of
those books which you have only to look at to see that they ought to be suppressed and
burned by the common hangman. It is not a work of that kind. There is nothing in its
language, or the ideas conveyed by it, of a voluptuous character—it is simply a dry
physiological discussion, and the defendant is entitled to the benefit of that.-—JExtract
from the “Summing-up” of the Lord Chief Justice.
This Trial is published as a contribution to the literature of the
Population Question. It is believed that the fair and legitimate liberty
of the Press has been imperilled by the attempt of the “ Society
for the Suppression of Vice ” to bring such a work as the “ Moral
Physiology ” of R. D. Owen, Senator of the United States and Ambas
sador at the Court of Naples, within the scope of Lord Campbell’s
Act and the English Common Law.
The Population Question has only quite recently come before the
Courts of this country; first, in the cause celebre of Mr. Bradlaugh
and Mrs. Besant, for publishing “The Fruits of Philosophy,” and
secondly, in the case of Mr. Truelove, as reported in this volume.
The Speeches of Counsel on both sides, the Evidence, and
Summing-up of the Judge, full and complete.
K. TRUELOVE, 256, HIGH HOLBORN, W.Cl
