This philosopher, who was as fully persuaded of his own complete knowledge of nature, as Sturmius was of being able to fly by means of hollow globes, was pleased to be very facetious at my expense. At length he graciously ad- vised me to pay some regard to the opi- nions of people skilled in these abstruse matters, and not, at my return home, to expose myself by publishing such absurd and preposterous opinions as I had now advanced. The other, the pedagogue, lamented that people should bestow s...o much attention upon temporal vanitiei^y and consequently, alas ! neglect their spiritual good* ; and he remarked that many a man had been ruined by too great application to study. • I have known one instance of such bigotry, or rather hypocrisy, out of Lapland. 264 LULEAN LAPLAND, Both these wise men concurred in one thing.
