PERSIAN LETTERS 203 IvETTER CX Rica to * * * THE University of Paris is the first-born daughter of the kings of France, and very aged; for she is more than nine hundred years old ; and so she dotes now and again.
I have been told that she had at one time a great dis- pute with some doctors about the letter Q,* which they wanted to pronounce like K. The quarrel grew so warm that some of the disputants were despoiled of their sub- stance. It became necessary for parliament to put an end to it ; w...hich it did by permitting, in a solemn decree, all the subjects of the king of France to pronounce that letter according to their fancy. It was very amusing to see the two most venerable institutions in Europe occupied in deciding the fate of a letter of the alphabet !
It seems, my dear . . . that the ablest men grow stupid when they get together ; and that, where you have the greatest number of wise men, there you have the least wisdom. Great bodies always pay so much attention to minor details, and idle customs, that essentials are never considered till afterward.
