Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries, in a thousand years, have set in best order the results of their Earning and wisdom. The men themselves were hid and inaccessible, solitary, impatient of interruptions, fenced by etiquette,--but the thought which they did not uncover to their bosom friend is here written out in transparent words to us, the strangers of another age. Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Boston, Hougton Mifflin, 1884.
