Quotation

[…] Pliny in that Chapter where he treats of the same Art, observes, that there was never any one famous in it ; but who was by birth or education a Gentleman : therefore […] in their recension of the Liberal Arts, mention that of Graving in particular amongst the most permanent ; and in the same Catalogue numbers it with Rhetorick, Geometry, Logic, Astronomie, yea Grammar it self ; because there is in these Arts say they, more of fancy, and invention, then strengh of hand ; more of the Spirit, then of the Body.
