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