Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Observations on Books and Libraries in General: And on the Sacred Books and Early
Here are his silent counsellors, his friends, each with its priceless wisdom enclosed in its covers, never intruding, waiting to be consulted, ready and willing to impart their garnered wisdom of heaven and earth.

The Library is the touch of culture, the mark of genuine good breeding, the one guaranty of a real aristocracy of spirit.
