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. 177.

How charming is divine Philosophy!
Not harso no crabbed, is dull foo's suppose,
But musical as is Apollo's lute,

And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets,

Where no crude surfeit reigns.

MILTON'E COMUS, Scene 2.
