[Footnote 66: Can the death of a good man be esteemed a
punishment by those who believe in the immortality of the
soul? They betray the instability of their faith. Yet as a
mere philosopher, I cannot agree with the Greeks (Brunck,
Poetae Gnomici, p. 231.) See in Herodotus (l. i. c. 31) the
moral and pleasing tale of the Argive youths.]
