Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Treasury of Knowledge, and Library of Reference
In comparing small learned acquisitions with none at all. It appears to me to be equally absurd to consider a little learning valueless. Or even dan gerons. As some will have it, as to talk of a little virtue, a little wealth, or health, or cheerfulness, or a little of any other blessing under heaven, being worthless or dangerous.
To abjure any degree of information, because we cannot grasp the whole circle of the sciences, or sound the depths of erudition, appears to be just about as sensible as if we were to shut up our windows because they are too narrow, or because the glass has not the magnifying power of a telescope.
