'In the interpretation of a rigid morality arming you legal gentlemen to make it so! 'The Law must be vindicated. 'The law is a clumsy bludgeon. 'We think it the highest effort of human reason the practical instrument. 'You may compare it to a rustic's finger on a fiddlestring, for the murdered notes you get out of the practical instrument. 'I am bound to defend it, clumsy bludgeon or not.
It is true, some writers have vindicated him from this misconduct towards posterity, and asserted that he really did discover America.
But after having thus vindicated my authority, which has been violated in your person, I will say, in order that you may fully understand my views, that you should not without absolute necessity cause your commands to be executed within the limits of a local government, like that of Montreal, without first informing its governor, and also that the ten months of imprisonment which you have made him undergo seems to me sufficient for his fault.
What are the tips of a few fingers compared with life, liberty, wealth, and a beautiful woman? The first two sets of prints are different from the third because they are made by different finger-tips on the same man. The very core of the prints was changed.

As soon as the French version of the "Avesta" appeared, he published a German translation of it, and also of Anquetil's historical dissertations. Then, in a series of dissertations of his own, he vindicated the authenticity of the Zend books.
