NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN OR TO INSTRUCT:
Lord Monboddo, celebrated for his works on ancient
metaphysics and the origin of language,
was fifty years
old before ho began to learn Greek. Erdernannsdorf
learned the same language in his fifty-third year, of an
abbate at Rome. Gouge, the eminent naturalist of
Quedlenberg, in his fortieth year, engaged in the study
of natural history, in which he afterwards gained such
celebrity. Isocrates wrote his " Panathenaicus" in his
ninety-fourth year. At an advanced age Sophocles
composed his " Ordix," whp,eh he adduced to confute the
imputation of
his sons, who charged him before his
judges with being an insane old man.
