Many are the charges made in one way
and another of pirating /. e., the stealing and
utilizing by author OF the thoughts and written
opinions Of another without his consent, or with

the putting into writing and even print of the
ideas Of man when rerboiy expressed. 1t is
stated that Voltaire had wonderful faculty Of
getting Rousseau aroused on some subject In which
he, Voltaire, was especially interested and in
order to draw him clear OUT would oppose him

NJ. p. of the London Times, recently speaking at
Abingdon, In Berkshire on the result OF his tour
