Besides, he speaks precisely only of those _Gauls_ who were Borderers and next Neighbours to the _Massilians_, of whom he says, that not only many of their private Men, but even their Cities (by publick Decrees, and proposing great Rewards) invited several Learned Men of _Massilia_ to instruct their Youth. It remains that we shou'd clear that place in _Caesar_, where he tells us the _Gauls_, in their publick and private Reckonings, _Graecis literis usos fuisse_. But let us see whether the word _Graecis_ in that place ought not to be left out, not only as _unnecessary_ but _surreptitious_. Since it was sufficient to express _Caesar_'s Meaning to have said, that the _Gauls_ made no use of _Letters_ or _Writing_ in the Learning of the _Druids_, but in all other Matters, and in publick and private Accounts, they did make use of _Writing_: For _uti litteris, to use Letters_, is a frequent Expression for _Writing_ among Latin Authors. Besides, it had been a Contradiction to say the _Gauls_ were unskill'd in the _Greek_ Tongue, as _Caesar_ had averr'd a little before; and afterwards to say, that they wrote all their publick and private Accounts in _Greek_. As to what many suppose, that the words _literis Graecis_ in that place, are not to be taken for _Writing Greek_, but only for the _Characters_ of the _Letters_; I can less approve of this Explanation than the former; because though many ancient Writers (as we just now said) frequently used the Expression, _Uti litteris_ for _Scribere_; yet I never observ'd, that any of them ever used it to signify the _Forms_ and _Fashions_ of the _Characters_. Neither does it make at all for their Opinion, what _Caesar_ says in the First Book of his Commentaries, _viz._ That there were found in the _Helvetian_ Camp, Tablets, _literis Graecis conscriptas_; as if the same Person, who had learnt to make use of the _Greek Forms_ of _Characters_, might not as easily have learnt the _Greek Language_; or as if there might not be among the _Helvetii_, _Priests_ or _Gentlemens Sons_, who might then have learnt _Greek_, as our's now learn _Latin_; _Greek_ being at that Time a Language in Vogue and Esteem. The very Neighbourhood of the School of _Massilia_ is sufficient to confute that Opinion: And therefore _Caesar_, when he speaks of his own Letter to _Cicero_, tells us, he sent that Letter written in _Greek Characters_, lest (in case it were intercepted) his Designs shou'd be discover'd by the Enemy. _Justinius_, lib. 20. says, there was a Decree of the Senate made, that no _Carthaginian_, after that Time, shou'd study the [Footnote: _Graecis literas._] _Greek Language_ or _Writing_, lest he shou'd be able to speak or write to the Enemy without an Interpreter. _Tacitus_, in his Book _de moribus Germanorum_, tells us, that several Tombs and Monuments were yet to be seen in the Confines of _Germany_ and _Swisserland_ with _Greek_ Inscriptions on them. _Livius_, lib. 9. says, The _Roman_ Boys formerly studied the
