In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

1828 Definition
GYM'NOSOPHIST, n. [Gr. naked, and a philosopher.]
A philosopher of India, so called from his going with bare feet, or with little clothing. The Gymnosophists in India lived in the woods and on mountains, subsisting on wild productions of the earth. They never drank wine nor married. Some of them traveled about, and practiced physic. They believed the immortality and transmigration of the soul. They placed the chief happiness of man in a contempt of the goods of fortune, and of the pleasures of sense.
1913 Definition
One of a sect of philosophers, said to have been found in India
by Alexander the Great, who went almost naked, denied themselves the
use of flesh, renounced bodily pleasures, and employed themselves in
the contemplation of nature.
