mountable obstruction to knowledge; be-
cause, it being the work of lifetime to
read with ease, no time remains for study
ing the sciences. Our case was. In some
measure, the same at the restoration of
learning: it required an age to be familiarized
with the Greek and Latin tongues; and too
little time remained for gathering knowl-
edge out of their books. The Chinese
stand upon more equal footing with re-
spect to arts; for these may be acquired bv
imitation, or oral instruction, without books;
The art of writing with letters represent
ing sounds is, of all inventions, the most
important and the least obvious. The wav
of writing in China makes so naturally the
second step in the progress of the arts, that
our good fortune, in stumbling upon way
so much more perfect, cannot be sufficient
ly admired, since, to it we are indebted for
our superiority in literature above the Chi
nese. Their way of writing is fatal OBJ
struction to sciehCe; for it is so rivetted, bv
lnveterate practice, that the difficulty would
not be greater to make them Change their
language than their letters. Hieroglyphics
were sort of writing miserably imperfect,
but as they made tolerable shift with these
lettersj (hoWever cumbersome to those who
know better,) they never dreamt of any i'm
provement. Hence it may be averred,
with great certainty, that, in China, the
sciences, though still in infancy, will forev-
er continuG so.
The art of writing was known in Greece
when Homer composed his Had; for he
gives, somewhere, hint of it. It was at
that time probably in its infancy, and used
only for recording laws, religious precepts,
or other short works. Cyphers, invented
in Hindostan, were brought into France,
from Arabia, about the end of the tenth cen.
tury. d.
