Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Sylva; Or the Wood: Being a Collection of Anecdotes, Dissertations, Characters, Apophthegms, Original Letters, Bons Mots, and Other Little Things Nor for this is genius, learning, taste required: paper, pens, and ink, with (as Fielding expresses it) the manual capacity of using them, most abundantly suffice. "The art of writing," says Voltaire, "is become in many countries an infamous ™ where illiterate booksellers pay so much a sheet for lyes and impertinence to mercenary scribblers, who have made of letters the meanest of professions." So that, as it should seem, the booksellers in reality are the capital authors of the times. Solomon adds, that much study, or "reading," is a weariness of the flesh. And whatever hurt it may cause to the body, it must certainly cause no less to the mind; by overloading the memory, and stifling all that reflection, which is necessary to make reading of any kind useful.
