Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Philosophical Dissertations on the Egyptians and Chinese, Vol. 1 of 2
Such is nearly the order we have followed in comparing a celebrated nation of Africa, with another equally remarkable in Alia. In works of pure amufement, fome phrafes frequently decide the fate of a whole book; becaufe where neither depth of thought nor erudition are requifrte, if one pallage difpleafes, it is na tural to fuppofe all the reit defeétive. But in philofophieal difcu?ions, which are connected together almofi imperceptibly, nothing can be under?ood if the chain efcapes, or the author is not regularly followed.
