The difficulty of describing action by Words, will'be allo wed by every one; and if we were never to give any instructions, but such as should completely answer our wishes, this difficulty would be a good reason for not at tempting to'give any description of it. But there are many degrees between conveying a precise idea of a thing and no idea at all. Besides, in this part of deliv ery, instruction may be conveyed b the eye, and this organ is a much more rapid vehicle of newledge than the ear. This vehicle is addressed on the present occasion; and plates, representing the attitudes which are described are annexed to the several descriptions, which it is not doubted, will greatly facilitate the reader's conception.
