RITSON'S VARIOUS WORKS, as published by

line, than the tliousand times (| noted 
" Rubelais laugliing in liis easy rhair," 
of Mr. Pojie. Tlio caricature of his filth and zanyism 
show how fully lie both knew and felt the danger in 
which he stood. I could write a treatise in praise of 
the moral elevation of Rabelais' works, which would 
make the church stare and the conventicle groan, and 
yet would be truth, and nothing but the truth. I class 
Rabelais witli the great creative minds of the world, 
Shakespeare, Dante, Cervantes, Ice."— Coleridge.
