However
,
many
of
the
most
learned
and
wise
adhere
to
the
new
scheme
of
expressing
themselves
by
things
;
which
has
only
this
inconvenience
attending
it
,
that
if
a
man
's
business
be
very
great
,
and
of
various
kinds
,
he
must
be
obliged
,
in
proportion
,
to
carry
a
greater
bundle
of
things
upon
his
back
,
unless
he
can
afford
one
or
two
strong
servants
to
attend
him
.
I
have
often
beheld
two
of
those
sages
almost
sinking
under
the
weight
of
their
packs
,
like
pedlars
among
us
,
who
,
when
they
met
in
the
street
,
would
lay
down
their
loads
,
open
their
sacks
,
and
hold
conversation
for
an
hour
together
;
then
put
up
their
implements
,
help
each
other
to
resume
their
burdens
,
and
take
their
leave
.
But
for
short
conversations
,
a
man
may
carry
implements
in
his
pockets
,
and
under
his
arms
,
enough
to
supply
him
;
and
in
his
house
,
he
can
not
be
at
a
loss
.
Therefore
the
room
where
company
meet
who
practise
this
art
,
is
full
of
all
things
,
ready
at
hand
,
requisite
to
furnish
matter
for
this
kind
of
artificial
converse
.
Another
great
advantage
proposed
by
this
invention
was
,
that
it
would
serve
as
a
universal
language
,
to
be
understood
in
all
civilised
nations
,
whose
goods
and
utensils
are
generally
of
the
same
kind
,
or
nearly
resembling
,
so
that
their
uses
might
easily
be
comprehended
.
And
thus
ambassadors
would
be
qualified
to
treat
with
foreign
princes
,
or
ministers
of
state
,
to
whose
tongues
they
were
utter
strangers
.
I
was
at
the
mathematical
school
,
where
the
master
taught
his
pupils
after
a
method
scarce
imaginable
to
us
in
Europe
The
proposition
,
and
demonstration
,
were
fairly
written
on
a
thin
wafer
,
with
ink
composed
of
a
cephalic
tincture
.
This
,
the
student
was
to
swallow
upon
a
fasting
stomach
,
and
for
three
days
following
,
eat
nothing
but
bread
and
water
.
As
the
wafer
digested
,
the
tincture
mounted
to
his
brain
,
bearing
the
proposition
along
with
it
.
But
the
success
has
not
hitherto
been
answerable
,
partly
by
some
error
in
the
quantum
or
composition
,
and
partly
by
the
perverseness
of
lads
,
to
whom
this
bolus
is
so
nauseous
,
that
they
generally
steal
aside
,
and
discharge
it
upwards
,
before
it
can
operate
;
neither
have
they
been
yet
persuaded
to
use
so
long
an
abstinence
,
as
the
prescription
requires
.
In
the
school
of
political
projectors
,
I
was
but
ill
entertained
;
the
professors
appearing
,
in
my
judgment
,
wholly
out
of
their
senses
,
which
is
a
scene
that
never
fails
to
make
me
melancholy
.
These
unhappy
people
were
proposing
schemes
for
persuading
monarchs
to
choose
favourites
upon
the
score
of
their
wisdom
,
capacity
,
and
virtue
;
of
teaching
ministers
to
consult
the
public
good
;
of
rewarding
merit
,
great
abilities
,
eminent
services
;
of
instructing
princes
to
know
their
true
interest
,
by
placing
it
on
the
same
foundation
with
that
of
their
people
;
of
choosing
for
employments
persons
qualified
to
exercise
them
,
with
many
other
wild
,
impossible
chimeras
,
that
never
entered
before
into
the
heart
of
man
to
conceive
;
and
confirmed
in
me
the
old
observation
,
"
that
there
is
nothing
so
extravagant
and
irrational
,
which
some
philosophers
have
not
maintained
for
truth
.
"
But
,
however
,
I
shall
so
far
do
justice
to
this
part
of
the
Academy
,
as
to
acknowledge
that
all
of
them
were
not
so
visionary
.
There
was
a
most
ingenious
doctor
,
who
seemed
to
be
perfectly
versed
in
the
whole
nature
and
system
of
government
.
This
illustrious
person
had
very
usefully
employed
his
studies
,
in
finding
out
effectual
remedies
for
all
diseases
and
corruptions
to
which
the
several
kinds
of
public
administration
are
subject
,
by
the
vices
or
infirmities
of
those
who
govern
,
as
well
as
by
the
licentiousness
of
those
who
are
to
obey
.
For
instance
:
whereas
all
writers
and
reasoners
have
agreed
,
that
there
is
a
strict
universal
resemblance
between
the
natural
and
the
political
body
;
can
there
be
any
thing
more
evident
,
than
that
the
health
of
both
must
be
preserved
,
and
the
diseases
cured
,
by
the
same
prescriptions
?
It
is
allowed
,
that
senates
and
great
councils
are
often
troubled
with
redundant
,
ebullient
,
and
other
peccant
humours
;
with
many
diseases
of
the
head
,
and
more
of
the
heart
;
with
strong
convulsions
,
with
grievous
contractions
of
the
nerves
and
sinews
in
both
hands
,
but
especially
the
right
;
with
spleen
,
flatus
,
vertigos
,
and
deliriums
;
with
scrofulous
tumours
,
full
of
fetid
purulent
matter
;
with
sour
frothy
ructations
:
with
canine
appetites
,
and
crudeness
of
digestion
,
besides
many
others
,
needless
to
mention
.
This
doctor
therefore
proposed
,
"
that
upon
the
meeting
of
the
senate
,
certain
physicians
should
attend
it
the
three
first
days
of
their
sitting
,
and
at
the
close
of
each
day
's
debate
feel
the
pulses
of
every
senator
;
after
which
,
having
maturely
considered
and
consulted
upon
the
nature
of
the
several
maladies
,
and
the
methods
of
cure
,
they
should
on
the
fourth
day
return
to
the
senate
house
,
attended
by
their
apothecaries
stored
with
proper
medicines
;
and
before
the
members
sat
,
administer
to
each
of
them
lenitives
,
aperitives
,
abstersives
,
corrosives
,
restringents
,
palliatives
,
laxatives
,
cephalalgics
,
icterics
,
apophlegmatics
,
acoustics
,
as
their
several
cases
required
;
and
,
according
as
these
medicines
should
operate
,
repeat
,
alter
,
or
omit
them
,
at
the
next
meeting
.
"
This
project
could
not
be
of
any
great
expense
to
the
public
;
and
might
in
my
poor
opinion
,
be
of
much
use
for
the
despatch
of
business
,
in
those
countries
where
senates
have
any
share
in
the
legislative
power
;
beget
unanimity
,
shorten
debates
,
open
a
few
mouths
which
are
now
closed
,
and
close
many
more
which
are
now
open
;
curb
the
petulancy
of
the
young
,
and
correct
the
positiveness
of
the
old
;
rouse
the
stupid
,
and
damp
the
pert
.
Again
:
because
it
is
a
general
complaint
,
that
the
favourites
of
princes
are
troubled
with
short
and
weak
memories
;
the
same
doctor
proposed
,
"
that
whoever
attended
a
first
minister
,
after
having
told
his
business
,
with
the
utmost
brevity
and
in
the
plainest
words
,
should
,
at
his
departure
,
give
the
said
minister
a
tweak
by
the
nose
,
or
a
kick
in
the
belly
,
or
tread
on
his
corns
,
or
lug
him
thrice
by
both
ears
,
or
run
a
pin
into
his
breech
;
or
pinch
his
arm
black
and
blue
,
to
prevent
forgetfulness
;
and
at
every
levee
day
,
repeat
the
same
operation
,
till
the
business
were
done
,
or
absolutely
refused
.
