note: learn formerly had also the sense of teach, in
accordance with the analogy of the french and other
languages, and hence we find it with this sense in
shakespeare, spenser, and other old writers. this usage
has now passed away. to learn is to receive
instruction, and to teach is to give instruction. he
who is taught learns, not he who teaches.
