"Better economize in the purchasing of furniture or carpets than scrimp in buying good books or papers.
"Our sitting-rooms need never be empty of guests or our libraries of society if the company of good books is admitted to them."

A book in my collection written for "the ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of America."
