Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Libraries and Readers
Mr. Emerson has somewhere maintained 'that a man should be, above and before all things else, a man - not a teacher or a thinker, but a man teach ing and a man thinking. The writer disavows all claim of being an author or a lecturer, and will be abundantly satisfied if the reader of these pages shall attribute them to a librarian writing and a libra rian speaking, and in this way using two very effect ual methods of enforcing the principles of his work.
