‘I have ten thousand florins a year without Greek, I eat heartily without Greek.’
This passage comes from Oliver Goldsmith's (1730-1774) novel The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), and seems to ask whether education ought to be directed squarely towards vocational training (as clear from Clerval's father's opinion), or whether learning the classical languages or literature (or "the Greeks") is valuable in itself.

Astell recommended that women study virtually every subject that men studied ex-cept for classical languages
Odd...
Just about one hundred years later, Mary Wollstonecraft publishes "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman." In addition to the denial of women from certain, albeit many, areas of discourse, she is also angered that there is no aim, no "simple principle" as she puts it, for women to strive for.
Odd because in this age, wouldn't "male principles" derive mainly from the classical texts?
