" Men of the greatest learning, have spent their time in contriving instruments 

 " to measure the immense distance of the stars, «nd in finding out the di^lensions 

 "and even the weight of the planets. They think it more eligible to study the 

 "art of ploughing the sea with ships, than of tilling the land with ploughs. 

 "They bestow the utmost of their skill, learnedly to pervert the natural use of 

 " all the elements, for the destruction of their own species by the bloody art of 

 "war; and some waste their whole lives in studying how to arm death with 

 "new engines of horror, and inventing an infinite variety of slaughter, but think 

 " it beneath men of learning (who only are capable of doing it), to employ their 

 " learned labours in the invention of new, or even in improving the old, means 

 " for the increasing of bread." — Tull's Husbandry.
