Study.

There are two methods Of study; the
one is the studying an author. the other
may be called studying a subject. In
the former case the student purposes to
make himself master ofthe whole contents
Of book; he diligently persues it, and
becomes familiar with the style and Ian
guage and the sentiments of the writer
By the other method be follows up any
particular branch Of knowledge through
all the books in which it may be found;
searches in them for every passage that
is to his purposes, and collects every
where the scattered particles Of inEorma-
lion. Of these two methods of seeking
knowledge, the first is much 10 be pre-
ferred. BY diligently fixing the mind
upon one book at time, the intellectual
faculties in the three branches Of appre-
hension, attention, and memory, are ex-
ercised, disciplined and improved;-
whereas, by the other practice, when a
subject is pursued by the help of indexes
through multitude of authors, and wri-
ters are consulted only as books of ref
erence, a superficial, discursive habit of
study grows upon the mind, and the stu
dent will be so far from improving the
three faculties above mentioned, that he
is in danger of impairng them. And no
man of letters can safely trust himself
with this plan Of study, ill he shall have
first diligently wrought into his mind firm
habits of accute attention, by long prac'
tice of the other.
