Digitized by VjOOQIC Voltaire in England. 261 great philosopher's admirers, he was not inclined to become one of his disciples. How carefully he had read 'Alciphron' is proved by his letter to Andrew Pitt* Nor did his indefatigable curiosity rest here. He took a lively interest in natural science, and was acquainted with several members of the Eoyal Society, and par- ticularly with the venerable President, Sir Hans Sloane, to whom he presented a copy of the English Essays.f Of that society he was some years after elected a Fellow, as the archives of the Society 'Still testify.^ But what most engaged his attention was the con- troversy then raging between the opponents and the apologists of Christianity.
