Volney's answer to Doctor Priestley : on his pamphlet entitled, "Observations upon the increase of infidelity, with animadversions upon the writings of several modern unbelievers, and especially The ruins of Mr. Volney, with this motto; Minds of little penetration rest naturally on the surface of things. They do not like to pierce deep into them, for fear of labour and trouble; sometimes still more for fear of truth--" : [One line of from Racine].
