Excerpt from A Concise Description of the Endowed Grammar Schools in England and Wales, Vol. 1: Ornamented With Engravings; Bedford-Lincoln
IT has justly been observed, that Nations, as well as particular Persons, have their Infancy, in which they are not only small and weak, but also rude and ignorant. Even those Nations which have arrived at the highest degree of power and great ness, and have been most renowned for all the at tributes of Civilization, when traced up to their infant state, are found to have been equally feeble and illiterate. We need not, therefore, be sur prised to find, nor ashamed to own, that there was a time, when the Inhabitants of this Island were divided into a great many petty States or Tribes, each of them consisting of rude unlettered Savages The Historians of all those Empires which have become great and eminent, have taken much pains in discovering and describing the progress of their arms, the enlargement of their territories.
