å un LVCRECE. Pardonnez je vous prie, o Sage venerable! leurs
defauts , car je les ai compooés & la håte dans la compagnie de
vos profonds Docteurs. Que les fleurs, les oiseaux, les poissons

for themselves, His opponents of this kind, as well as those
who on making use of their judgment disapproved of his pube

shewn by many of LINN2zus’s pupils and admirers , he himself
scarce ever deigning to notice them, and trusting for his justifi-
cation to time alone, Its decision has been most completely in
his favour. He lived to enjoy the highest honours and rewards
that his country could bestow, and to sce his system, by beco-
ming universal, contribute more to the advancement of his dar=
ling study, than the united Jabours of all mankind before him;
