acroyear"We must trace a line of distinction between those that area capable of verification and those that are not, and separate by an inviolable barrier the world of fantastical beings from the world of realities; that is to say, all civil effect must be taken away from theological and religious opinions." -- C.F. Volney, Ruins, 1791.
Thomas Jefferson believed that Volney was one of the main men whose presense in America led directly to Adams and the Federalists write and pass the Sedition Acts in 1798.
