ropolis when principle is founded upon the fact of
auor without its real quality, and knowledge Of that
the most of all wonderful arts, physiognony in hair

rectness not to be controlled by conjecturing
imagination, while the multiplied relations of the
mere possessors, and not the professors, are con.
stantly battling with isolated considerations. Never
theless this great oversight upon their part has
rected an error which will be the entire overthrow
of quackery; which error the Egyptians, who at a
very early period distinguished for their knowledge
and skill in this truly dear-bought talentthey above
all people, appreciated perfection in all professors

Quoted by Nicholai and by Xenophon, that who ever
dare to that which they had not acquired by
practical knowledge, they should be put to imme-

literature, adopted the same method. Eneas, their
great poet, subscribed his name in accordance. The
language used by that great and good man is this
the inference from this conviction that guacksm,,
when encouraged by any people, is euil, is fact
undcniable. Too much has been done for this sect,
