Young had learned to read before he was two, and by the age of twenty had mastered a dozen foreign languages including Arabic, P

ersian, and Turkish. An inheritance from an uncle left him free to pursue his scientific interests. At various times, Young studied the habits of spiders, the surface features of the moon, and diseases of the chest. Then, intrigued by the challenge of the Rosetta Stone, he put aside his other studies and concentrated on attempting to decipher the writing on it. Young had read of de Sacy’s and Akerblad’s work in Paris, and was determined to succeed where they had failed.

positive because Young is wealthy and has plenty of free time to pursue anything that interests him.
negative because Young lacks the experience needed to read foreign languages.
negative because Young is overconfident in his ability to succeed where others have failed.

Was the Industrial Revolution a "fair" excuse for IMPERIALISM?
natali 33 [55]

With regards to whether imperialism was a fair excuse for the Industrial Revolution, the answer is that <u>it was not. </u>
