Excerpt from The Religion of Israel
As a prose writer, so far as an Englishman is able to judge, M. Loisy carries on that high tradition which through Montaigne, Pascal, Fenelon, Voltaire, Talleyrand, Merimee, Renan has come down, unbroken and unharmed, into our own time, and is being worthily continued by many learned and charming authors. It is not only impossible to estimate the living, but it is invidious to enumerate and class them; still.

Excerpt from The Religion of Israel
An attempt has been made in the following pages to transfer the thought of M. Loisy's La Religion d'Israel into English; so that its fine scholarship may be available to readers who are not on easy terms with the original. French prose is the most perfect instrument of thought and speech that the modern world has given us. Indeed, it might be argued that it is more perfect, in some of its qualities, than even Greek and Roman. Though it may not have all the force, weight, and brevity of the latter, nor the opulent variety and the subtil distinctions of the former, yet in lucidity, precision, irony, and above all in lightness of touch, it yields to neither. In these respects, it is far superior to all other existing European languages, and even to those curious variations in one of them which are being manufactured so capriciously in Australasia, South Africa and North America.
