Note 60 — Chapter XIII · THE RISE OF MODERN FREETHOUGHT
Reading edition
Owen (p. 570) comes to this conclusion after carefully collating the editions. Cp. p. 587, note. The whole of the alterations, including those proposed by President Jeannin, will be found set forth in the edition of 1607, and the reprints of that. One of the modified passages (first ed. p. 257; ed. 1609, p. 785) is the Montaignesque comment (noted by Prof. Strowski, p. 195) on the fashion in which men’s religion is determined by their place of birth. “C’est du Montaigne aggravé,” complains M. Strowski. And it is left unchanged in substance. ↑
