One more effort was made by the rabbis, who offered Spinoza a pension of about L100 a-year if he would attend the synagogue more frequently, and consent to be silent with regard to his philosophical thinkings.

There is no reference, however, to Sardinia, in the version of the treaty which has since been published, and Cavour indignantly repudiated the idea of ceding this Italian island to France, when the charge of having entertained it was flung at him a year later.
