      arts; we described them in a crude and superficial manner。 They 


      seized the hints we gave them; and though at first they could not 


      arrive at perfection; yet by making many essays they at last found 


      out and corrected all their errors; and conquered every 


      difficulty。 Before this they only wrote on parchment; on reeds; or 


      on the bark of trees; but now they have established the 


      manufacture of paper; and set up printing…presses; so that if they 


      had but a good number of Greek authors they would be quickly 


      supplied with many copies of them: at present; though they have no 


      more than those I have mentioned; yet by several impressions they 


      have multiplied them into many thousands 。





      If any man was to go among them that had some extraordinary 


      talent; or that by much travelling had observed the customs of 


      many nations (which made us to be so well received); he would 


      receive a hearty welcome; for they are very desirous to know the 


      state of the whole world。 Very few go among them on the account of 


      traffic; for what can a man carry to them but iron or gold or 


      silver; which merchants desire rather to export than import to a 


      strange country: and as for their exportation; they think it 


      better to manage that themselves than to leave it to foreigners; 


      for by this means; as they understand the state of the neighboring 


      countries better; so they keep up the art of navigation; which 


      cannot be maintained but by much practice。
