ITERATURE is the hoarded thought and emotion of the race, the capitalized ex- perience of the past preserved in books. A book is the distillate, the precipitate of a human soul, and libraries are the savings banks of all the thought, of all the emotions, of all the science and experience of the past,- a capital from which we can draw without decreasing its wealth, and which exacts no interest from its borrowers. We talk of ma- terial thrift and material economy, but We rarely reflect that in the literature of books is preserved the spiritual thrift of the world. -Tlaomaf fafepla McCormack
