Chapter VI 



HOW TO THINK 



"William Forbes had a saying concerning letters; it was, 

 * Read more and write less.' Meanwhile, according to Bayle, 

 if the man who wrote so much had afterwards come to 

 Forbes and said, ' I have followed your advice ; I have read 

 a great deal,' Forbes would then have given this further 

 counsel, 'to read less for the future and meditate more."'
