Anticipation in general we should encourage. A knowledge of the genealogy of Charlemagne, or of Dr. Campbell's canons, or of the relative position of the satellites of Saturn, or even of the elements of Intellectual Philosophy, is by no means indispensable; and if a man's natural taste leads him another way, the sooner he rids himself of these disagreeable encumbrances the better.
