Book Description
Excerpt from Miscellaneous Notes and Queries, 1892, Vol. 9: A Monthly Magazine of History, Folk-Lore, Mathematics, Mysticism, Art, Science, Etc WE have again arrived at the close of another year, and also to the close of the tenth volume of notes and queries. While taking a retrospective glance over the volumes, we are reminded of the words of William Ellery Channing in his address on self-culture an introductory to the Franklin Lectures, Boston, 1838. He says: God be thanked for books. They are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages. Books are the true levellers. They give to all, who will faithfully use them, the society, the spiritual presence, of the best and greatest of our race. No matter how poor I am, no matter though the prosper ous of my own time will not enter my obscure dwelling, if the sacred writers will enter and take up their abode under my roof, if Milton will cross my threshold to sing to me of Paradise, and Shakespeare to open to me the worlds of imagination and the workings of the hu man heart, and Franklin to enrich me with his practical wisdom, I shall not pine for mant of intellectual companionship, and I may be come a cultivated man though excluded from what is called the best society, in the place where I live.
