Masonic Notes And Queries.
SPINOZA ANB VOLTAIRE . The recollection of a brother at Cambridge is not so accurate as usual . According to Voltaire , Spinoza " etait non seuleineiit Athce , mais il enseignait l'Atheisme . " None of the philosophical writings of Voltaire are now in my possession . There are in
them many passages concerning Spinoza , hut the foregoing words only appear in my Common Place Book . My brother may look at my two communications to the FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE , " Spinozism and Ereemasonry , " vol , xi ., p . 3 SS , and " The Spinozists , " vol . xiv ., p . 4 SS . — CHARLES PURTON
COOPER . VOLTARIANISM AND SPINOZISM . "Au Voltarianisme a succede le Spinozisme . " This line taken from a book , described by me in my communication " Spinozism , " page 289 of the present volume , furnishes the answer to a brother ' s question . —CHARLES PURTON COOPER .
SCELEIERMACHER AND SPINOZA . "Sacrifier avec moi une boucle decheveux aux manes du saint et mcconnu Spinoza , le sublime esprit du monde le penetra ; l ' mfini fut son commencement et sa fin ; l'universel son unique et cternel amour . " The famous passage of Schleiermacherof
, which the foregoing lines are the beginning , and to which reference is so often made in recent French philosophical works , a brother will , according to my memorandum , find in " Wilm Histoire de la Philosophic Allemande . "—CHARLES PURTON COOPER .
THE EMPEROR MARCUS ANTONINUS THE PHILOSOPHER . My answer to the question contained in a letter signed "A Masonic Student , " is that the Emperor 'Marcus Antoninus named in my communication ' Goethe ' s Pantheism" page 168 of the present
, volume ( there by an error of the press called "Marcus Antonius , " ) was a Pantheist . This is shown by the following passage taken from the "Dictionnaire des Sciences Philosophiques , " "Marc Antonini admet done , sans difficulte , Dieu et la Providence ; ce Dieu est honil a fait le mondeet il
, , le gouverne ; mais en meme temps il y reside , ou plutot il en fait partie . C'est la force vivifiante qui organise le chaos , suivant des lois inherentes il la nature meme des elements dont la matiere se compose . " Marcus Antoninus is commonly designated the Philosopher . His "Meditations" is a book
greatly prized by me when my age was what , I conjecture , "A Masonic Student's" age now is . — CHARLES PURTON COOPER .
WE ivould direct the attention of those gentlemen who are in the habit of preserving natural objects to the fact that Mr . Cole , perfumer and taxidermist , of Catherine-street , Strand , and 10 , Hanover-street , AA' ., has received the first-class silver prize medal for tho several cases of birds and animals exhibited by him at the recent exhibition held at the Agricultural Hall , Islington . Mr . Colo has long taken a very high position in his art . The cases of birdsand' one containing
, a pair of otters shot on the banks of the Thames , recently shown at the place referred to , were pronounced by all judges to bo the very best articles of their class ever exhibited . A visit to Mr . Cole's AA ' est-end house could not fail to interest those ivho are interested in thc natural preservation of preserved natural objects
