Two Dissertations is a book written by Gregory Sharpe and published in 1751. The book contains two separate dissertations, each focusing on a different topic. The first dissertation is titled On the Use and Abuse of Poetry and explores the role of poetry in society. Sharpe argues that poetry can be both beneficial and harmful, depending on how it is used. He examines the ways in which poetry can be used to promote virtue and morality, as well as the ways in which it can be used to promote vice and immorality.The second dissertation is titled On the Origin and Progress of the Art of Writing and delves into the history of writing. Sharpe traces the development of writing from its earliest origins to the present day, examining the various forms of writing that have been used throughout history. He also explores the impact that writing has had on society, including its role in the spread of knowledge and the development of civilization.Overall, Two Dissertations provides a fascinating insight into two important topics: the role of poetry in society and the history of writing. Sharpe's writing is clear and engaging, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in these subjects.1. Upon The Origin, Construction, Division And Relation Of Languages; 2.
