(30.) “Bliss is the same, in subject, or in king,
          In who obtain defence, or who defend.”

LESSON XVI.—­OF MANY ERRORS.

“The Japanese, the Tonquinese, and the Coreans, speak languages differing from one an other, and from that of the inhabitants of China; while all use the same written characters, and, by means of them, correspond intelligibly with one an other in writing, though ignorant of the language spoken by their correspondents:  a plain proof, that the Chinese characters are like hieroglyphics, and essentially independent of language.”—­Jamieson cor.; also Dr. Blair.  “The curved line, in stead of remaining round, is changed to a square one, for the reason before mentioned.”—­Knight cor. “Every reader should content himself with the use of those tones only, that he is habituated to in speech; and should give to the words no other emphasis, than what he would give to the same words, in discourse.
