and religion, and by their greater fear of being censured in this world than of being condemned in the next.
These, Sir, are the motives by which I was influenced.—I believe you to possess a firm and upright mind, and am sure that you will bestow upon me your approbation.
Accept, Sir, the sentiments with which I am
Your very humble
And most devoted servant,
MOLLARD-LEFEVRE.
. Since the first part of this Appendix was committed to press, the Translator of the above Letter has received, from a Friend in Switzerland, the following information relative to its Author:
"M. Mollard-Lefevre is a native of Lyon. His family has long been connected with the silk-manufactory of that city; and he himself carries on the same branch of business, which has enabled him to give a very respectable maintenance to his children. He brings them up in those principles of probity and honour which have always been his own characteristics, and which have acquired for him the general esteem of his fellowcitizens.
"With the name of Mollard-Lefevre, that of Alpinosa has no connection whatever: the latter is the family name of a young Piedmontese, who is also a recent convert to Protestantism, and who has lately resided at Lausanne. These conversions to the Reformed Faith, and consequent abjurations of the Roman Catholic religion, are now become events of such frequent occurrence, in France, that many hundreds of them are reckoned to have taken place within a few years, in the single province of the Lyonnois."
