"The Egyptians, who made use of hieroglyphics to signify several things, expressed a man who con-
fined his knowledge and discoveries altogether within himself, by the figure of a dark lantern closed on all
sides; which, though it was illuminated within, afforded no manner of light or advantage to such as stood
by it. For my own part, as I shall from time to time communicate to the public what discoveries I happen
to make, I should much rather be compared to an ordinary lamp, which consumes and wastes itself for the
benefit of every passenger."
