Probably a transformative sentence as described below: Explanation: If this is a complet sentence (since you didn't have a full stop at the end of "of a better), it might be an omitted sentence based on the parallet structure to the first part of the sentence: The World is certainly a great and stately Volume of natural Things; and may be not **Hieroglyphicks of a better Volume, (which is) improperly styled. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2012-12-02 06:56:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or: The World is certainly a great and stately Volume of natural Things; and may be not a better Volume of Hieroglyphicks, improperly styled. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2012-12-02 15:53:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 这个世界诚然是一本庄严伟大的自然之书，也许我们使用的象形文字未臻尽善，而风格也未能尽美。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2012-12-02 15:57:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Interpretation of the original sentence: The world is itself of sacred book of nature, although it is not a very good book written in imitation of nature by human beings, and the way it is written is not proper. |
