up a refutation of the system of Kant. He 

 meant to have published it as a sequel to 

 the " Helviennes," but it does not appear 

 that this labour was so far proceeded in 

 as to be fit for publication. 



On the 20th of March, 1815, M. Barruel 

 nndertook a journey into the Vivarais, his 

 native country, but he soon returned to 

 Paris. For two years he had laboured 

 under a serious complaint, and, retiring 

 from the world, he joined the society of 

 some of his ancicH't confrerie. Among 

 these he died, October 6, 1820, having 

 taken to his bed only seven days. He had 

 just entered his 80th year. 



The following is a list of the different 

 works published by M. Barruel. — 1. " An 

 Ode on the Glorious Accession of Louis 

 Augustus (Louis XVL) to the Throne," 

 1774. 2. "Tlie Eclipses, a Poem of 

 Boscovidi, translated from the Latin," 

 1779. 3. " Les Helviennes, &c. or 

 Provincial Philosophical Letters," 1788.

 scriptive Library of the Ecclesiastical 

 Sciences, by a Society of Men of Letters.'* 

 "When M. B. became its conductor, in 

 January, 1788, he drew up a new Pros- 

 pectus to it. A number appeared every 

 month; but that for the month of August, 

 1792, was printed, but not distributed; 

 this was owing to the revolution of the 

 loth. The articles were signed with the 

 name of the author, or his initials; some 

 have been reprinted separately. Several 

 treat of (heir subjects very largely, as the 

 " Dissertation on the Difference of Ordina- 



No. XVIII. [April 1> 



tion and Jurisdiction," and the "National 

 Question on the Authority and Rights of 

 the People, in Matters of Government." 



5. "The Patriot, or the True and Ge-

 National Assembly," 1790. Tliis article 

 appeared as a separate work, though 

 originally printed in the Ecclesiastical 

 Journal. 9. " On the Civic Oath," 1790. 

 Reprinted several times in the provinces, 

 about that time. 10. " History of the 

 French Clergy dusing the Revolution,"

VOLTAtRE UNDER THE JESUITS. 



VOLTAIRE was educated by the 

 Jesuits in Paris ; and, even under 

 their little rule, the boy gave bold indi- 

 cations of what the man would be under 

 a "greater. Juvenci, the excellent edi- 

 tor of an expurgated edition, with 

 very correct notes, of the Roman au- 

 tiiors, for the use of schools, happened 

 lo be at tlic head of the Rhetoricians 

 when Voltaire studied in that class. 

 One day the professor proposed for an 

 exercise, an Oration against Julian 

 the Apostate, The hour of composi- 

 tion elapsed, the tliemes were gather- 

 e4 iu, a»'ti the learned iiitlier began to 



read aloud, and correct them, as was 

 his custom. Voltaire's happened to 

 be the first paper he took up : it was 

 a long and earnest defence of the 

 emperor ! Much to the surprise of 

 the class, Juvenci proceeded without 

 interruption to the close of the speech. 

 He then rose from his elevated seat ; 

 threw the young philosopher his fear- 

 less essay ; and, with clerical solemnity, 

 observed, " Young man, you will live 

 the enemy of religion and truth \"
