What was the occupation of the Vates? A. The study of philosophy and the works of nature; and, indeed, every art and science that could contribute to excite the astonishment and fix the _veneration_ of the people, who regarded them as demigods, _endowed_ with more than mortal wisdom and _illuminated_ by _celestial inspiration._ (From Pinnock's Catechism of the History of England, 1836)
