THO every rational man must discern the value of learning — when rightly used; yet if a man abuses his learning to the injury of his fellow men — he degrades himself below the most illiterate person in the world — The greatest simplicity of ideas, united with common sense, and fidelity in business, may make useful men — The Popes, and Inquisitors, tho ornamented with the highest polish of learning, excite our odium, while a simple honest, farmer, mechanic, or sailor — may even be an agreeable companion, and useful friend.
