Excerpt from The Philosophical Works of the Late Right Honorable Henry St. John, Lord Viscount Bolingbroke, Vol. 1 of 5 Abs'urd and impertinent vanity! We pro~ nounce our fellow animals to be automates, or we allow them infiinft, or we bef'tow gracioul'ly upon them, at the utmoft firetch of liberality, an irra tional foul, fomething we know not What, but fomething that can claim no kindred to the hu man mind. We fcorn to admit them into the fame clafs of intelligence with ourfelves, tho it hé obvious, among other obfervations eafy to be made, and tending to the fame purpofe, that the firfi: inlets, and the firf't elements of their know ledge, and of ours; are the fame. Eutof ourfelves we think it not too much to boaf't, that our intel ligence is a partimpation of the divine intelligence 3 that the mind of man, like that of God, contains in it the ideas of intelligible natures that it does not rife from particular to general knowledge.
