ABSTRACT

“Aneducated man is one who has thought and read much on the subjects proper to his age and country, so that he is ready in talk and at no loss in the society of strangers. He knows the uses of words and speaks clearly and elegantly. He has the power to pass in thought over great distances of space and time, and thus he is not deceived as to his own importance, and is as ready to discuss Sardanapalus as his next door neighbour. He will also travel readily and, being already familiar in thought with the ways of other lands, adapts himself rapidly when he actually encounters them.
