Part 4 — APPENDIX.

328Where a book raises your spirit, and inspires you with noble and courageous feelings, seek for no other rule to judge the event by: it is good and made by a good workman.—De la Bruyère.

You despise books: you whose whole lives are absorbed in the vanities of ambition, the pursuit of pleasure, or in indolence; but remember that all the known world, excepting only savage nations, is governed by books.—Voltaire.

Within their silent chambers treasures lie

Preserved from age to age; more precious far

Than that accumulated store of gold

And orient gems, which for a day of need

The Sultan hides deep in ancestral tombs;

These hoards of truth you can unlock at will.

Wordsworth.

I not only commend the study of this literature (the eastern), but wish our sources of supply and comparison vastly enlarged. American students may well derive from all former lands—all the older literatures and all the newer ones—bearing ourselves always courteous, always deferential, indebted beyond measure to the motherworld, to all its nations dead, as all its nations living.

Walt Whitman.

In books lies the soul of the whole Past Time—the articulate, audible voice of the Past, when the body and material substance of it has altogether vanished like a dream. No magic Rune is stranger than a book. All that mankind has done, thought, gained or been, is lying in magic preservation in the pages of books. Do not books still accomplish miracles as Runes were fabled to do? They persuade men.—Carlyle.
