I (Just after publication): The novelty is absurd
and subversive of Religion and Morality.

and will yield a full and satisfactory

The propounder a very ordinary person advertised by a clique.

Explains as much as could reasonably be expected.
The propounder worthy of all honor
in spite of his share of human frailties,
as one who has added to the permanent possessions of science.
