QUESTION PROPOSED, WHETHER A MAN BE MAGNIFIED OR MINIFIED BY
CONSIDERING HIMSELF UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE HEAVENLY BODIES, AND
ANSWERED WITH LEARNING AND DISCRETION.
I find by experience that Writing is like Building, wherein the
undertaker, to supply some defect, or serve some convenience which at
first he foresaw not, is usually forced to exceed his first model and
proposal, and many times to double the charge and expence of it.
DR. JOHN SCOTT.
