Excerpt from Notes of the Wandering Jew, on the Jesuits and Their Opponents
The remembrance of the pleasant hours, which we spent together on the banks of the Nile, induces me to address you on this occasion. You are one of the few persons now in the world, to whom I have confided the secret of my strange existence, and I am sufficiently well acquainted with your obliging disposition, to know that you will not refuse the service I have to ask. It is, that you will cause the annexed sheets to be pub lished in your capital, so as to set your country men right with regard to one or two particulars, on which they are likely to be deceived by false and mischievous representations.
