The Usefulness of Learning and the Sciences, extracted from
a Discourse of Mr. Barbeyrac, publish'd some years ago.
Providence lays us under the necessity of studying the
language of the ancients, since the oracles and laws by
which men are to be guided to the end of time, were wrote
originally in Greek and Hebrew. . . [1 1/2 columns]
Astronomy, geometry, architecture, musick, fortification,
and every part of mathematicks, contribute some way or other
to the good of civil society.
All persons in publick employment, ecclesiastical, civil
and military, are oblig'd to the sciences; and the greatest
Princes . . . were men of great learning. . .
