[3] The complete title of the later translation is: _Journey to the World Underground, Being the subterraneous Travel of Niels Klim_. Translated from the Latin of Lewis Holberg, London. Published by Thomas North, 66 Paternoster Row, 1828. [4] Voltaire, in his _Siècle de Louis XIV._, Chap. II (1752), says: "Cromwell ... portant l'Evangile dans une main; l'épée dans l'autre, le masque de religion sur le visage ... couvrit des qualités d'un grand roi tous les crimes d'un ursurpateur." In his _Essai sur les Moeurs_, Chap. clxxxi. (1757), Voltaire speaks of Cromwell as a man who "parvint a se faire roi sous un autre nom par sa valeur, secondée de son hypocrisie." Hume, in his _History of England_, Chap. lx. (1754) describes Cromwell as a man who, "transported to a degree of madness with religious ecstasies, never forgot the purposes to which they might serve ... secretly paving the way by artifice and courage to his own unlimited authority." [5] The essay, from which the above is a quotation, was published for the first time in English in the _English Historical Review_, vol. xxxii., page 412-415 (1917), with an introduction by Mr. R. Laache, M.A., Christiania. TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES: Text in italics is enclosed with underscores: _italics_. Inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation have been retained from the original.
