If BENEFITOF 



are prefer ved ; that they who diligently give 

 themfelves up to ftudy, may become endued 

 with learning, poliihed, and confirmed by ex- 

 perience. Thefe libraries are the repofitories 

 of wifdom, and their flores are laid open to 

 every ingenious candidate. 



Hofpitals are founded that the candidates of 

 phyfic may learn thofe things at the patients 

 bed fide, which cannot be learned from books ; 

 for here pra6lice, and experience fhew their 

 force by means of the eyes, and hands •, as he 

 paints any obje6b moil accurately, who paints 

 from the idea, which his own eyes afford him, 

 and not from that, which he gets by the tela- 

 tion of another. 



Anatomy fchools are eredted, that we may 

 behold in another's body, as it were in a glafs, 

 the nature, and conllitution of our own ; as 

 thofe conceive more clearly the fituation of 

 countries, diftrids, and cities, and the man- 

 ners, rites, and cuiloms of their inhabitants, 

 who themfelves have been there, and have ken 

 what is remarkable amongfl them with their 

 own eyes, than he who relies folely upon the 

 vague and imperfedb maps, and relations of 

 travellers.
