rhe above transcription is not only
Invaluable to all Christians, but
must prove of prime Importance to
the historian, inasmuch as il is the
only profane record of the kind we
have OF the slightest authenticity.
Relative to its discovery we may state
more definitely that it was enclosed
in abox of ebony, which itself was
likewise enclosed in vase of white
marble, the whole being found by the
gentleman above referred to and the
inscription translated by him into
the French language.
In this connectiokit may not be
ont Of place also to insert descrip-
ton OF our Savior, addressed by the
governor OF Judea to the senate OF
Rome, found i'm an ancient manu-
script sent by Publius Lintitors.
There lives at this time in Judea
man of singular character, whose
name is Jesus Christ The Barba-
rians esteem him as a prophet, but his
followers adore him as the immedi-
ate offspring OF the immortal God
He is endowed with unparalleled vir-
tue as to call back the dead from
their graves, and TO heal every kind
of disease with word CT touch; his
person is tall and elegantly shaped:
his aspect amiable, reverend his hair
falls in those beautiful shades that
no united colors could match, falling
in graceful curls below his ears, agree
ably touching on his shoulders and
parting on the crown of the head,
like the sect of the Nazarines; his
forehead is smooth and large; his
cheeks without a spot, save that OF
lovely red; his nose and mouth are
formed with exquisite symmetry;
his beard is thick and suiting 10 the
hair of head, reaching a little
above his chin and parting in the
middle like a fork; his eyes are
bright, clear and serene; he re-
Dukes with majesty, counsels, with
mildness, and invites with the most
tender and persuasive language, his
whole address, whether in word .or
deed, being elegant. grave, and
strikingly characteristic OF so elegant
a being. No man has seen him
laugh, but the whole world beheld
him weep frequently, and so persua-
sive are his tears that none refrain
from joining in sympathy with him.
He is very moderate, temperate and
wise. In short, whatever the phe-
nomenon turns out in the end, he
seems at present like man fog ex-
cellent beauty and divine perfection
everyway surprising the children of
men,"
Testing the Sense Of Touch.
