To restore to the great family of nations an eternally insulated people, was a philosophic and philanthropic idea, worthy of the great age in which it was conceived. The grant of the entire liberty of a citizen, in the exercise of laws and religion, was perhaps the only method which could tend to the accomplishment of this great object. In furtherance of the plan, the Grand Sanhedrim was assembled; a speech was made, and the motives of the meeting were explained with no less frankness than benevolence. This medal consecrates the event. It represents, on one side, the head of the Emperor Napoleon; on the other, that sovereign restoring to Moses the tables he had given to the people, of whom he had been the legislator.
