"He said at another time something like this"; and she gave another, which might possibly have been paralleled in many a work of the pedigree ranging from the Dictionnaire Philosophique to Huxley's Essays. "Ah ha! How do you remember them?" "I wanted to believe what he believed, though he didn't wish me to; and I managed to coax him to tell me a few of his thoughts.
He has been introduced with distinguished honor into the society of the Bucentauro, as he is pleased to consider himself a wit, and a man of great genius, and allows himself to be styled in his correspondences, which he keeps up throughout all parts of the world, the "prince philosophique." I do not know whether you have ever had the pleasure of meeting him.
Raynal gives two of them for facts in his Histoire philosophique des Indes." "I did not know that," said Vernou. "What were the stories?" "One was a tale about an Englishman and a negress who helped him to escape; he sold the woman for a slave after getting her with child himself to enhance her value.
Besides the above work, the following of his works incurred the same fate: the Lettres Philosophiques , the Cantique des Cantiques , the Dictionnaire Philosophique , also burnt at Geneva; L'Homme aux Quarante Écus , Le Dîner du Comte de Boulainvilliers . When we add to these burnings the fact that at least fourteen works of Voltaire were condemned, many others suppressed or forbidden, their author himself twice imprisoned in the Bastille, and often persecuted or obliged to fly from France, we must admit that seldom or never had any writer so eventful a literary career.

Without seeking to blame or approve the title of this last-mentioned journal, I shall only remark that the word Decade, coupled with the word Philosophique, becomes in the eyes of many persons a double cause of reprobation; and that, at this day, more than ever, those two words are, in the opinion the most in fashion, marked by a proscription that is reflected on every thing which belongs to the science of philosophy.
And this brings in our "motif philosophique." Not to insist that the likeness is after all the variable, not the constant, element to learn which is the essential thing, resemblance among individuals or their genetic connection we have only to ask which can be the cause of the other.
She became a mother at fourteen, and gave milk from all her breasts. In his "Dictionnaire Philosophique" Voltaire gives the history of a woman with four well-formed and symmetrically arranged breasts; she also exhibited an excrescence, covered with a nap-like hair, looking like a cow-tail.
For the most part he chose some pages out of Voltaire's Dictionnaire Philosophique. He valued very highly the finished form of that clear and concise language, and that so sure judgment on questions of taste. Thus, for instance, I remember that the article on taste was one of the last I read to him.
It has already been necessary to discuss this point briefly in "The Sexual Impulse in Women," vol. iii of these Studies. "Die Abstinentia Sexualis," Zeitschrift für Sexualwissenschaft, Nov., 1908. P. Janet, "La Maladie du Scrupule," Revue Philosophique, May, 1901. S. Freud, Sexual-Probleme, March, 1908.
