The frail memories of men, their love of exaggeration, their - i -, supine carelessness ; these principles, if not corrected bv books and writing, soon pervert the account of historical events; where argument or reasoning has little or no place, nor can ever recal the truth, which has once escaped those narrations. It is thus the tables of HKKCULKS..., THKSKTS, BACCHUS are supposed to have been originally founded in true history, corrupted by tradition. LJut with regard to speculative opinions, the case is far otherwise. If these opinions be founded on arguments so clear and obvious as to carry conviction with the generality of mankind, the same arguments, which at iirst diffused the opinions, will still pre- serve them in their original purity. If the arguments be more abstruse, and more remote from vulgar apprehension, the opinions will always be confined to a few persons ; and as soon as men leave the contemplation of the arguments, the opinions will immediately be lost and be buried in oblivion.
