 and articulately. 



Then again, as these slight hints and slurred 

 articulations, have often a grace and spirit in 

 language which is. lost when words are dis- 

 tinctly pronounced ; so many of these slight 

 and expressive touches both in art and in na- 

 ture, give most pleasure to those who are 

 thoroughly versed in the language. This may, 

 perhaps, in some degree account for the 

 plainly marked distinctions in improvement ; 

 for as in order to convey any idea to a man 

 unused to a language addressed to one sense, 

 you must mark every word; so to a man un- 

 used to it when addressed to another sense you 

 must mark every object; must cut sharp lines, 

 must whiten, redden, blacken, &c. &c.
