_SELECTED FROM THE CATALOGUE OF_ HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN AND CO.

_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 learning 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.
