and subversive of Religion and Morality.

II (Twenty years later): The Novelty is absolute Truth
and will yield a full and satisfactory
explanation of things in general -
The propounder a man of sublime genius and perfect virtue.

The propounder a very ordinary person advertised by a clique.

in spite of his share of human frailties,
as one who has added to the permanent possessions of science.
