cultivation


- noun
- cultivo

EN Thus, at some risk of fatiguing you, I have endeavored to sharpen your attention to the extreme danger which threatens a self-instructor in the besetting temptations to an over cultivation of languages; temptations which, whether appealing to his vanity and love of ostentation-or to his craving for a multifarious mastery over books, terminate in the same evil of substituting a barren study of words, which is, besides, the most lingering of all studies, for the healthy exercises of the intellect.
GL Deste xeito, con algún risco de fatigalo, intentei aguza-la súa atención ata o perigo extremo que ameaza a un autodidacta nas perentorias tentacións dun excesivo cultivo das linguas; tentacións que, xa apelen á súa vaidade e amor pola ostentación, xa á súa sede por un dominio heteróclito dos libros; terminan no mesmo mal de substituír por un estéril estudio das palabras, que é, ademais, o máis prolongado de tódolos estudios, os sans exercicios do intelecto.
