Hardback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The Claims of Classical Learning Examined and Refuted by Argument, and by the Confessions of Scholars The object in now publishing the substance of those papers under a new form, with some additions, is to avail of a differ ent path of circulation, and thus give the argument a greater chance of being fully refuted, if it merits such a fate; or being more read and reflected upon, should it deserve a better. One chance especially it may have in its present shape, which is that of being handled by our periodical writers and this perhaps would be as good a way as any of bringing the mat ter fairly into debate. The habits, talents, and turn of thought, among this class of writers, render them perfectly aufait, on such questions and if the case be manageable, they will not wait long for an invitation.
