Educate and inform the whole mass of the people.

Those who live by mystery & charlatanerie, fearing you would render them useless by simplifying the Christian philosophy - the most sublime and benevolent, but most perverted system that ever shone on man - endeavored to crush your well-earned & well-deserved fame.

One single object . . . [will merit] the endless gratitude of the society: that of restraining the judges from usurping legislation.
