'On the ignorance of the learned' title is taken from???

[@sarcasticscar]

From the essay written by William Hazlitt who was a critic and criticised the classical learning. And the " learneds "

[@sharmeenmaream1992]

What's the main theme of this essay anyway?

[@sagarsen432]

Emphasis of rote learning in the classical education.
The author condemns it and says that practical aspects should be emphasized in education.
