render in the home3 they may be ornaments1 tools1 or friends4 ,i was told a few years ago the following story which is worth retelling as an illustration of the use of books as ornaments4 ,a millionaire who had one house in the city1 one in the mountains1 and one in the ,south1 wished to build a fourth house on the seashore4 ,a house ought to have a library4 ,therefore this new house was to have a library4 ,when the house was finished he found the library shelves had been made so shallow that they would not take books of an ordinary size4 ,his architect proposed to change the bookshelves4 ,the millionaire did not wish the change made1 but told his architect to buy fine bindings of classical books and glue them into the shelves4 ,the architect on making inquiries discovered that the bindings would cost more than slightly shop-worn editions of the books themselves4 ,so the books were bought1 cut in two from top to bottom about in the middle1 one half thrown away1 and the other half replaced upon the shelves that the handsome backs presented the same appearance they would have presented if the entire book had been there4 ,then the glass doors were locked1 the key to the glass doors lost1 and sofas and chairs and tables put against them4 ,thus the millionaire has his library furnished with handsome bindings and these ,i may add are quite adequate for all the use which he wishes to make of them4 ,this is a rather extreme case of the use of books as ornaments1 but it illustrates in a bizarre way what is a not uncommon use4 ,there is this to be said for that illiterate millionaire3 well-bound books are excellent ornaments4 ,no decoration with wall paper or fresco can make a parlor as attractive as it can be made with low bookshelves filled with works of standard authors and leaving room above for statuary1 or pictures1 or the inexpensive decoration of flowers picked from one's own garden4 ,i am inclined to think that the most attractive parlor ,i have ever visited is that of a bookish friend whose walls are thus furnished with what not only delights the eye1 but silently invites the mind to an inspiring companionship4 ,more important practically than their use as ornaments is the use of books as tools4 ,every professional man needs his special tools--the lawyer his law books1 the doctor his medical books1 the minister his theological treatises and his ,biblical helps4 ,i can always tell when ,i go into a clergyman's study by looking at his books whether he is living in the ,twentieth ,century or in the ,eighteenth4 ,tools do not make the man1 but they make his work and so show what the man is4 ,every home ought to have some books that are tools and the children should be taught how to use them4 ,there should be at least an atlas1 a dictionary1 and an encyclopdia4 ,if in the evening when the family talk about the war in the ,balkans the father gets out the atlas and the children look to see where ,roumania and ,bulgaria and ,greece and ,constantinople and the ,dardanelles are on the map1 they will learn more of real geography in half an hour than they will learn in a week of school study concerning countries in which they have no interest4 ,when there is reading aloud in the family circle1 if every unfamiliar word is looked up in a dictionary1 which should always lie easily accessible upon the table1 they will get unconsciously a widening of their vocabulary and a knowledge of the use of ,english which will be an invaluable supplement to the work of their teacher of ,english in the school4 ,as to cyclopdias they are of all sizes from the little six- volumed cyclopdia in the ,everyman's ,library to the twenty-nine volumed ,encyclopdia ,britannica1 and from the general cyclopdia with more or less full information on every conceivable topic to the more distinctive family cyclopdia which covers the life of the household4 ,where there are children in the family the cyclopdia which covers the field they are most apt to be interested in--such as 8,the ,library of ,work ,play0 or 8,the ,guide ,series0 to biography1 music1 pictures1 etc4 --is the best one to begin with4 ,after they have learned to go to it for information which they want1 they will desire a more general cyclopdia because their wants have increased and broadened4 ,so much for books as ornaments and as tools4 ,certainly not less important1 if comparisons can be made ,i am inclined to say more important1 is their usefulness as friends4 ,in ,smith ,college this distinction is marked by the ,college authorities in an interesting and valuable manner4 ,in the library building there is a room for study4 ,it is furnished with a number of plain oak or walnut tables and with chairs which do not invite to repose4 ,there are librarians present to get from the stacks the special books which the student needs4 ,the room is barren of ornament4 ,each student is hard at work examining1 comparing1 collating4 ,she is to be called on to-morrow in class to tell what she has learned1 or next week to hand in a thesis the product of her study4 ,all eyes are intent upon the allotted task2 no one looks up to see you when you enter4 ,in the same building is another room which ,i will call ,the ,lounge1 though ,i think it bears a different name4 ,the books are upon shelves around the wall and all are within easy reach4 ,many of them are fine editions4 ,a wood fire is burning in the great fireplace4 ,the room is furnished with sofas and easy chairs4 ,no one is at work4 ,no one is talking4 ,no6 but they are listening--listening to authors whose voices have long since been silent in death4 ,in every home there ought to be books that are friends4 ,in every day1 at least in every week1 there ought to be some time which can be spent in cultivating their friendship4 ,this is reading1 and reading is very different from study4 ,the student has been at work all the morning with his tools4 ,he has been studying a question of ,constitutional ,law3 ,what are the powers of the ,president of the ,united ,states8 ,he has examined the ,constitution2 then ,willoughby or ,watson on the ,constitution2 then he turns to ,the ,federalist2 then perhaps to the ,constitutional debates1 or to the histories1 such as ,von ,holst's ,constitutional ,history of the ,united ,states1 or to treatises1 such as ,bryce's ,american ,commonwealth4 ,he compares the different opinions1 weighs them1 deliberates1 endeavors to reach a decision4 ,wearied with his morning pursuit of truth through a maze of conflicting theories1 he puts his tools by and goes to dinner4 ,in the evening he sits down in the same library for an hour with his friends4 ,he selects his friend according to his mood4 ,macaulay carries him back across the centuries and he lives for an hour with ,the ,puritans or with ,dr4 ,samuel ,johnson4 ,carlyle carries him unharmed for an hour through the exciting scenes of the ,french ,revolution2 or he chuckles over the caustic humor of ,thackeray's semi-caricatures of ,english snobs4 ,with ,jonathan ,swift as a guide he travels with ,gulliver into no-man's land and visits ,lilliput or ,brobdingnag2 or ,oliver ,goldsmith enables him to forget the strenuous life of ,america by taking him to 8,the ,deserted ,village40 ,he joins ,charles ,lamb's friends1 listens to the prose-poet's reveries on ,dream-,children1 then closes his eyes and falls into a reverie of his own childhood days2 or he spends an hour with ,tennyson1 charmed by his always musical but not often virile verse1 or with ,browning1 inspired by his always virile but often rugged verse1 or with ,milton or ,dante1 and forgets this world altogether1 with its problems and perplexities1 convoyed to another realm by these spiritual guides2 or he turns to the autobiography of one of the great men of the past1 telling of his achievements1 revealing his doubts and difficulties1 his self-conflicts and self-victories1 and so inspiring the reader to make his own life sublime4 ,or one of the great scientists may interpret to him the wonders of nature and thrill him with the achievements of man in solving some of the riddles of the universe and winning successive mastery over its splendid forces4 ,it is true that no dead thing is equal to a living person4 ,the one afternoon ,i spent in ,john ,g4 ,whittier's home1 the one dinner ,i took with ,professor ,tyndall in his ,london home1 the one half hour which ,herbert ,spencer gave to me at his ,club1 mean more to me than any equal time spent in reading the writings of either one of them4 ,these occasions of personal fellowship abide in the memory as long as life lasts4 ,this ,i say with emphasis that what ,i say next may not be misunderstood--that there is one respect in which the book is the best of possible friends4 ,you do not need to decide beforehand what friend you will invite to spend the evening with you4 ,when supper is over and you sit down by the evening lamp for your hour of companionship1 you give your invitation according to your inclination at the time4 ,and if you have made a mistake1 and the friend you have invited is not the one you want to talk to1 you can 8shut him up0 and not hurt his feelings4 ,remarkable is the friend who speaks only when you want to listen and can keep silence when you want silence4 ,who is there who has not been sometimes bored by a good friend who went on talking when you wanted to reflect on what he had already said8 ,who is there who has not had his patience well nigh exhausted at times by a friend whose enthusiasm for his theme appeared to be quite inexhaustible8 ,a book never bores you because you can always lay it down before it becomes a bore4 ,most families can do with a few books that are tools4 ,in these days in which there is a library in almost every village1 the family that has an atlas1 a dictionary1 and a cyclopdia can look to the public library for such other tools as are necessary4 ,and we can depend on the library or the book club for books that are mere acquaintances--the current book about current events1 the books that are read to-day and forgotten to-morrow1 leaving only a residuum in our memory1 the book that1 once read1 we never expect to read again4 ,in my own home this current literature is either borrowed and returned or1 if purchased1 as soon as it has been used is passed along to neighbors or to the village library4 ,its room is better than its company on my over-crowded book shelves4 ,but books that are friends ought to abide in the home4 ,the very form of the book grows familiar2 a different edition1 even a different copy1 does not quite serve the same friendly purpose4 ,if the reader is wise he talks to his friend as well as listens to him and adds in pencil notes1 in the margin or on the back pages of the book1 his own reflections4 ,i take up these books marked with the indications of my conversation with my friend and in these pencilled memoranda find an added value4 ,sometimes the mark emphasizes an agreement between my friend and me1 sometimes it emphasizes a disagreement1 and sometimes it indicates the progress in thought ,i have made since last we met4 ,a wisely marked book is sometimes doubled in value by the marking4 ,before ,i bring this essay to a close1 already lengthened beyond my predetermined limits1 ,i venture to add four rules which may be of value at least to the casual reader4 ,for reading1 select the book which suits your inclination4 ,in study it is wise to make your will command your mind and go on with your task however unattractive it may prove to you4 ,you may be a ,hamiltonian1 and ,jefferson's views of the ,constitution may repel you1 or even bore you4 ,no matter4 ,go on4 ,scholarship requires persistence in study of matter that repels or even bores the student4 ,you may be a devout believer and ,herbert ,spencer repellent4 ,nevertheless1 if you are studying you may need to master ,herbert ,spencer4 ,but if you are reading1 read what interests you4 ,if ,scott does not interest you and ,dickens does1 drop ,scott and read ,dickens4 ,you need not be any one's enemy2 but you need not be a friend with everybody4 ,this is as true of books as of persons4 ,for friendship some agreement in temperament is quite essential4 ,henry ,ward ,beecher's application of this principle struck me as interesting and unique4 ,he did a great deal of his reading on the train in his lecture tours4 ,his invariable companion was a black bag and the black bag always contained some books4 ,as ,i am writing from recollection of a conversation with him some sixty years ago my statement may lack in accuracy of detail1 but not1 ,i think1 in essential veracity4 ,he selected in the beginning of the year some four departments of reading1 such as ,poetry1 ,history1 ,philosophy1 ,fiction1 and in each department a specific course1 such as ,greek ,poetry1 ,macaulay's ,history1 ,spencer's ,philosophy1 ,scott's ,novels4 ,then he read according to his mood1 but generally in the selected course3 if poetry1 the ,greek poets2 if history1 ,macaulay2 if philosophy1 ,spencer2 if fiction1 ,scott4 ,this gave at once liberty to his mood and unity to his reading4 ,one may read either for acquisition or for inspiration4 ,a gentleman who has acquired a national reputation as a popular lecturer and preacher1 formed the habit1 when in college1 of always subjecting himself to a recitation in all his serious reading4 ,after finishing a chapter he would close the book and see how much of what he had read he could recall4 ,one consequence is the development of a quite marvelous memory1 the results of which are seen in frequent and felicitous references in his public speaking to literature both ancient and modern4 ,he who reads for inspiration pursues a different course4 ,if as he reads1 a thought expressed by his author starts a train of thought in his own mind1 he lays down his book and follows his thought wherever it may lead him4 ,he endeavors to remember1 not the thought which the author has recorded1 but the unrecorded thought which the author has stimulated in his own mind4 ,reading is to him not an acquisition but a ferment4 ,i imagine from my acquaintance with ,phillips ,brooks and with his writings that this was his method4 ,i have a friend who says that he prefers to select his authors for himself1 not to have them selected for him4 ,but he has money with which to buy the books he wants1 a room in which to put them1 and the broad culture which enables him to make a wise selection4 ,most of us lack one at least of these qualifications3 the money1 the space1 or the knowledge4 ,for most of us a library for the home1 selected as this ,pocket ,library has been has three great advantages3 the cost is not prohibitive2 the space can easily be made in out home for the books2 and the selection is more wisely made than any we could make for ourselves4 ,for myself ,i should be very glad to have the editors of this series come into my library1 which is fairly large but sadly needs weeding out1 give me a literary appraisal of my books1 and tell me what volumes in their respective departments they think ,i could best dispense with to make room for their betters1 and what their betters would be4 ,to these considerations in favor of such a home library as this1 may be added the fact that the books are of such a size that one can easily put a volume in his pocket when he is going on a train or in a trolley car4 ,for busy men and women often the only time for reading is the time which too many of us are apt to waste in doing nothing4 ,perhaps the highest use of good books is their use as friends4 ,such a wisely selected group of friends as this library furnishes is an invaluable addition to any home which receives it and knows how to make wise use of it4 ,i am glad to have the privilege of introducing it and hope that this introduction may add to the number of homes in which it will find a welcome4 ,,the ,,purpose ,,of ,,reading ,,by ,,john ,,macy ,why do we read books is one of those vast questions that need no answer4 ,as well ask1 ,why ought we to be good8 or1 ,why do we believe in a ,god8 ,the whole universe of wisdom answers4 ,to attempt an answer in a single article would be like turning a spyglass for a moment toward the stars4 ,we take the great simple things for granted1 like the air we breathe4 ,in a country that holds popular education to be the foundation of all its liberties and fortunes1 we do not find many people who need to be argued into the belief that the reading of books is good for us2 even people who do not read much acknowledge vaguely that they ought to read more4 ,there are1 to be sure1 men of rough worldly wisdom1 even endowed with spiritual insight1 who distrust 8book learning0 and fall back on the obvious truth that experience of life is the great teacher4 ,such persons are in a measure justified in their conviction by the number of unwise human beings who have read much but to no purpose4 ,the bookful blockhead1 ignorantly read1 ,with loads of learned lumber in his head is a living argument against mere reading4 ,but we can meet such argument by pointing out that the blockhead who cannot learn from books cannot learn much from life1 either4 ,that sometimes useful citizen whom it is fashionable to call a ,philistine1 and who calls himself a 8practical man10 often has under him a beginner fresh from the schools1 who is glib and confident in repeating bookish theories1 but is not yet skillful in applying them4 ,if the practical man is thoughtless1 he sniffs at theory and points to his clumsy assistant as proof of the uselessness of what is to be got from books4 ,if he is wise1 the practical man realizes how much better off he would be1 how much farther his hard work and experience might have carried him1 if he had had the advantage of bookish training4 ,moreover1 the hard-headed skeptic1 self-made and self-secure1 who will not traffic with the literature that touches his life work1 is seldom so confined to his own little shop that he will not1 for recreation1 take holiday tours into the literature of other men's lives and labors4 ,the man who does not like to read any books is1 ,i am confident1 seldom found1 and at the risk of slandering a patriot1 ,i will express the doubt whether he is a good citizen4 ,honest he may be1 but certainly not wise4 ,the human race for thousands of years has been writing its experiences1 telling how it has met our everlasting problems1 how it has struggled with darkness and rejoiced in light4 ,what fools we should be to try to live our lives without the guidance and inspiration of the generations that have gone before1 without the joy1 encouragement1 and sympathy that the best imaginations of our generation are distilling into words4 ,for literature is simply life selected and condensed into books4 ,in a few hours we can follow all that is recorded of the life of ,jesus--the best that ,he did in years of teaching and suffering all ours for a day of reading1 and the more deeply ours for a lifetime of reading and meditation6 ,if the expression of life in words is strong and beautiful and true it outlives empires1 like the oldest books of the ,old ,testament4 ,if it is weak or trivial or untrue1 it is forgotten like most of the 8stories0 in yesterday's newspaper1 like most of the novels of last year4 ,the expression of truth1 the transmission of knowledge and emotions between man and man from generation to generation1 these are the purposes of literature4 ,not to read books is like being shut up in a dungeon while life rushes by outside4 ,i happen to be writing in ,christmas week1 and ,i have read for the tenth time 8,a ,christmas ,carol10 by ,dickens1 that amazing allegory in which the hard1 bitter facts of life are involved in a beautiful myth1 that wizard's caldron in which humor bubbles and from which rise phantom figures of religion and poetry4 ,can any one doubt that if this story were read by every man1 woman1 and child in the world1 ,christmas would be a happier time and the feelings of the race elevated and strengthened8 ,the story has power enough to defeat armies1 to make revolutions in the faith of men1 and turn the cold markets of the world into festival scenes of charity4 ,if you know any mean person you may be sure that he has not read 8,a ,christmas ,carol10 or that he read it long ago and has forgotten it4 ,i know there are persons who pretend that the sentimentality of ,dickens destroys their interest in him4 ,i once took a course with an over-refined1 imperfectly educated professor of literature1 who advised me that in time ,i should outgrow my liking for ,dickens4 ,it was only his way of recommending to me a kind of fiction that ,i had not learned to like4 ,in time ,i did learn to like it1 but ,i did not outgrow ,dickens4 ,a person who can read 8,a ,christmas ,carol0 aloud to the end and keep his voice steady is1 ,i suspect1 not a safe person to trust with one's purse or one's honor4 ,it is not necessary to argue about the value of literature or even to define it4 ,one way of bringing ourselves to realize vividly what literature can do for us is to enter the libraries of great men and see what books have done for the acknowledged leaders of our race4 ,you will recall ,john ,stuart ,mill's experience in reading ,wordsworth4 ,mill was a man of letters as well as a scientific economist and philosopher1 and we expect to find that men of letters have been nourished on literature2 reading must necessarily have been a large part of their professional preparation4 ,the examples of men of action who have been molded and inspired by books will perhaps be more helpful to remember2 for most of us are not to be writers or to engage in purely intellectual work2 our ambitions point to a thousand different careers in the world of action4 ,lincoln was not primarily a man of letters1 although he wrote noble prose on occasion1 and the art of expression was important1 perhaps indispensable1 in his political success4 ,he read deeply in the law and in books on public questions4 ,for general literature he had little time1 either during his early struggles or after his public life began1 and his autobiographical memorandum contains the significant words3 8,education defective40 ,but these more significant words are found in a letter which he wrote to ,hackett1 the player3 8,some of ,shakespeare's plays ,i have never read1 while others ,i have gone over perhaps as frequently as any unprofessional reader4 ,among the latter are #8,lear1' #8,richard ,,iii1' #8,henry ,,viii1' #8,hamlet1' and1 especially1 #8,macbeth4'0 ,if he had not read these masterpieces1 no doubt he would have become ,president just the same and guided the country through its terrible difficulties2 but we may be fairly sure that the high philosophy by which he lifted the political differences of his day above partisan quarrels1 the command of words which gives his letters and speeches literary permanence apart from their biographical interest1 the poetic exaltation of the ,gettysburg ,address1 these higher qualities of genius1 beyond the endowment of any native wit1 came to ,lincoln in some part from the reading of books4 ,it is important to note that he followed ,franklin's advice to read much but not too many books2 the list of books mentioned in the biographical records of ,lincoln is not long4 ,but he went over those half dozen plays 8frequently40 ,we should remember1 too1 that he based his ideals upon the ,bible and his style upon the ,king ,james ,version4 ,his writings abound in ,biblical phrases4 ,we are accustomed to regard ,lincoln as a thinker4 ,his right arm in the saddest duty of his life1 ,general ,grant1 was a man of deeds2 as ,lincoln said of him1 he was a 8copious worker and fighter1 but a very meager writer and telegrapher40 ,in his 8,memoirs10 ,grant makes a modest confession about his reading3 8,there is a fine library connected with the ,academy ,west ,point from which cadets can get books to read in their quarters4 ,i devoted more time to these than to books relating to the course of studies4 ,much of the time1 ,i am sorry to say1 was devoted to novels1 but not those of a trashy sort4 ,i read all of ,bulwer's then published1 ,cooper's1 ,marryat's1 ,scott's1 ,washington ,irving's works1 ,lever's1 and many others that ,i do not now remember40 ,grant was not a shining light in his school days1 nor indeed in his life until the ,civil ,war1 and at first sight he is not a striking example of a great man influenced by books4 ,yet who can deny that the fruit of that early reading is to be found in his 8,memoirs10 in which a man of action1 unused to writing1 and called upon to narrate great events1 discovers an easy adequate style8 ,there is a dangerous kind of conjecture in which many biographers indulge when they try to relate logically the scattered events of a man's life4 ,a conjectured relation is set down as a proved or unquestioned relation4 ,i have said something about this in ,footnote3 ,see ,john ,macy's ,guide to ,reading1 ,chapter ,,viii4 writing on biography1 and ,i do not wish to violate my own teachings4 ,but we may1 without harm1 hazard the suggestion1 which is only a suggestion1 that some of the chivalry of ,scott's heroes wove itself into ,grant's instincts and inspired this businesslike1 modern general1 in the days when politeness has lost some of its flourish1 to be the great gentleman he was at ,appomattox when he quietly wrote into the terms of the surrender that the ,confederate officers should keep their side arms4 ,stevenson's account of the episode in his essay on 8,gentlemen0 is heightened1 though not above the dignity of the facts1 certainly not to a degree that is untrue to the facts1 as they are to be read in ,grant's simple narrative4 ,since ,i have agreed not to say 8ought to read10 ,i will only express the hope that the quotation from ,stevenson will lead you to the essay and to the volume that contains it4 8,on the day of the capitulation1 ,lee wore his presentation sword2 it was the first thing that ,grant observed1 and from that moment he had but one thought3 how to avoid taking it4 ,a man1 who should perhaps have had the nature of an angel1 but assuredly not the special virtues of a gentleman1 might have received the sword1 and no more words about it2 he would have done well in a plain way4 ,one who wished to be a gentleman1 and knew not how1 might have received and returned it3 he would have done infamously ill1 he would have proved himself a cad2 taking the stage for himself1 leaving to his adversary confusion of countenance and the ungraceful posture of a man condemned to offer thanks4 ,grant without a word said1 added to the terms this article3 #8,all officers to retain their side arms'2 and the problem was solved and ,lee kept his sword1 and ,grant went down to posterity1 not perhaps a fine gentleman1 but a great one40 ,napoleon1 who of all men of mighty deeds after ,julius ,caesar had the greatest intellect1 was a tireless reader1 and since he needed only four or five hours' sleep in twenty-four he found time to read in the midst of his prodigious activities4 ,nowadays those of us who are preparing to conquer the world are taught to strengthen ourselves for the task by getting plenty of sleep4 ,napoleon's devouring eyes read far into the night2 when he was in the field his secretaries forwarded a stream of books to his headquarters2 and if he was left without a new volume to begin1 some underling had to bear his imperial displeasure4 ,no wonder that his brain contained so many ideas that1 as the sharp-tongued poet1 ,heine1 said1 one of his lesser thoughts would keep all the scholars and professors in ,germany busy all their lives making commentaries on it4 ,in ,franklin's 8,autobiography0 we have an unusually clear statement of the debt of a man of affairs to literature3 8,from a child ,i was fond of reading1 and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books4 ,pleased with the #8,pilgrim's ,progress1' my first collection was of ,john ,bunyan's works in separate little volumes4444 ,my father's little library consisted chiefly of books on polemic divinity1 most of which ,i read1 and have since often regretted that1 at a time when ,i had such a thirst for knowledge1 more proper books had not fallen in my way1 since it was now resolved that ,i should not be a clergyman4 #8,plutarch's ,lives' there was in which ,i read abundantly1 and ,i still think that time spent to great advantage4 ,there was also a book of ,de ,foe's1 called an #8,essay on ,projects1' and another of ,dr4 ,mather's1 called #8,essays to do ,good1' which perhaps gave me a turn of thinking that had an influence on some of the principal future events of my life40 ,it is not surprising to find that the most versatile of versatile ,americans read ,de ,foe's 8,essay on ,projects10 which contains practical suggestions on a score of subjects1 from banking and insurance to national academics4 ,in ,cotton ,mather's 8,essays to do ,good0 is the germ perhaps of the sensible morality of ,franklin's 8,poor ,richard40 ,the story of how ,franklin gave his nights to the study of ,addison and by imitating the ,spectator papers taught himself to write1 is the best of lessons in self-cultivation in ,english4 ,the 8,autobiography0 is proof of how well he learned1 not ,addison's style1 which was suited to ,joseph ,addison and not to ,benjamin ,franklin1 but a clear1 firm manner of writing4 ,in ,franklin's case we can see not only what he owed to books1 but how one side of his fine1 responsive mind was starved because1 as he put it1 more proper books did not fall in his way4 ,the blind side of ,franklin's great intellect was his lack of religious imagination4 ,this defect may be accounted for by the forbidding nature of the religious books in his father's library4 ,repelled by the dull discourses1 the young man missed the religious exaltation and poetic mysticism which the ,new ,england divines concealed in their polemic argument4 ,franklin's liking for ,bunyan and his confession that his father's discouragement kept him from being a poet--8most probably10 he says1 8a very bad one0--show that he would have responded to the right kind of religious literature1 and not have remained all his life such a complacent rationalist4 ,if it is clear that the purpose of reading is to put ourselves in communication with the best minds of our race1 we need go no farther for a definition of 8good reading40 ,whatever human beings have said well is literature1 whether it be the ,declaration of ,independence or a love story4 ,reading consists in nothing more than in taking one of the volumes in which somebody has said something well1 opening it on one's knee1 and beginning4 ,we take it for granted1 then1 that we know why we read4 ,we may ask one further question3 ,how shall we read8 ,one answer is that we should read with as much of ourselves as a book warrants1 with the part of ourselves that a book demands4 ,mrs4 ,browning says3 ,we get no good ,by being ungenerous1 even to a book1 ,and calculating profits--so much help ,by so much reading4 ,it is rather when ,we gloriously forget ourselves1 and plunge ,soul-forward1 headlong1 into a book's profound1 ,impassioned for its beauty1 and salt of truth-- ',tis then we get the right good from a book4 ,we sometimes know exactly what we wish to get from a book1 especially if it is a volume of information on a definite subject4 ,but the great book is full of treasures that one does not deliberately seek1 and which indeed one may miss altogether on the first journey through4 ,it is almost nonsensical to say3 ,read ,macaulay for clearness1 ,carlyle for power1 ,thackeray for ease4 ,literary excellence is not separated and bottled up in any such drug-shop array4 ,if ,macaulay is a master of clearness it is because he is much else besides4 ,unless we read a man for all there is in him1 we get very little2 we meet1 not a living human being1 not a vital book1 but something dead1 dismembered1 disorganized4 ,we do not read ,thackeray for ease2 we read him for ,thackeray and enjoy his ease by the way4 ,we must read a book for all there is in it or we shall get little or nothing4 ,to be masters of books we must have learned to let books master us4 ,this is true of books that we are required to read1 such as text-books1 and of those we read voluntarily and at leisure4 ,the law of reading is to give a book its due and a little more4 ,the art of reading is to know how to apply this law4 ,for there is an art of reading1 for each of us to learn for himself1 a private way of making the acquaintance of books4 ,macaulay1 whose mind was never hurried or confused1 learned to read very rapidly1 to absorb a page at a glance4 ,a distinguished professor1 who has spent his life in the most minutely technical scholarship1 surprised us one day by commending to his classes the fine art of 8skipping40 ,many good books1 including some most meritorious 8three-decker0 novels1 have their profitless pages1 and it is useful to know by a kind of practised instinct where to pause and reread and where to run lightly and rapidly over the page4 ,it is a useful accomplishment not only in the reading of fiction1 but in the business of life1 to the man of affairs who must get the gist of a mass of written matter1 and to the student of any special subject4 ,usually1 of course1 a book that is worth reading at all is worth reading carefully4 ,thoroughness of reading is the first thing to preach and to practise1 and it is perhaps dangerous to suggest to a beginner that any book should be skimmed4 ,the suggestion will serve its purpose if it indicates that there are ways to read1 that practice in reading is like practice in anything else2 the more one does1 and the more intelligently one does it1 the farther and more easily one can go4 ,in the best reading--that is1 the most thoughtful reading of the most thoughtful books--attention is necessary4 ,it is even necessary that we should read some works1 some passages1 so often and with such close application that we commit them to memory4 ,it is said that the habit of learning pieces by heart is not so prevalent as it used to be4 ,i hope that this is not so4 ,what6 have you no poems by heart1 no great songs1 no verses from the ,bible1 no speeches from ,shakespeare8 ,then you have not begun to read1 you have not learned how to read4 ,we have said enough1 perhaps1 of the theories of reading4 ,the one lesson that seems most obvious is that we must come close to literature4 ,,how ,,to ,,get ,,the ,,best ,,out ,,of ,,books ,by ,,richard ,,le ,,gallienne ,one is sometimes asked by young people panting after the waterbrooks of knowledge3 8,how shall ,i get the best out of books80 ,here indeed1 is one of those questions which can be answered only in general terms1 with possible illustrations from one's own personal experience4 ,misgivings1 too1 as to one's fitness to answer it may well arise1 as wistfully looking round one's own bookshelves1 one asks oneself3 8,have ,i myself got the best out of this wonderful world of books80 ,it is almost like asking oneself3 8,have ,i got the best out of life80 ,as we make the survey1 it will surely happen that our eyes fall on many writers whom the stress of life1 or spiritual indolence1 has prevented us from using as all the while they have been eager to be used2 friends we might have made yet never have made1 neglected counsellors we would so often have done well to consult1 guides that could have saved us many a wrong turning in the difficult way4 ,there1 in unvisited corners of our shelves1 what neglected fountains of refreshments1 gardens in which we have never walked1 hills we have never climbed6 8,well10 we say with a sigh1 8a man cannot read everything2 it is life that has interrupted our studies1 and probably the fact is that we have accumulated more books than we really need40 ,the young reader's appetite is largely in his eyes1 and it is very natural for one who is born with a taste for books to gather them about him at first indiscriminately1 on the hearsay recommendation of fame1 before he really knows what his own individual tastes are1 or are going to be1 and in that wistful survey ,i have imagined1 our eyes will fall1 too1 with some amusement1 on not a few volumes to which we never have had any really personal relation1 and which1 whatever their distinction or their value for others1 were never meant for us4 ,the way to do with such books is to hand them over to some one who has a use for them4 ,on our shelves they are like so much good thrown away1 invitations to entertainments for which we have no taste4 ,in all vital libraries1 such a process of progressive refection is continually going on1 and to realize what we do not want in books1 or cannot use1 must1 obviously1 be a first principle in our getting the best out of them4 ,yes1 we read too many books1 and too many that1 as they do not really interest us1 bring us neither benefit nor diversion4 ,even from the point of view of reading for pleasure1 we manage our reading badly4 ,we listlessly allow ourselves to be bullied by publishers' advertisements into reading the latest fatuity in fiction1 without1 in one case out of twenty1 finding any of that pleasure we are ostensibly seeking4 ,instead1 indeed1 we are bored and enervated1 where we might have been refreshed1 either by romance or laughter4 ,such reading resembles the idle absorption of innocuous but interesting beverages1 which cheer as little as they inebriate1 and yet at the same time make frivolous demands on the digestive functions4 ,no one but a publisher could call such reading 8light40 ,actually it is weariness to the flesh and heaviness to the spirit4 ,if1 therefore1 our idea of the best in books is the recreation they can so well bring2 if we go to books as to a playground to forget our cares and to blow off the cobwebs of business1 let us make sure that we find what we seek4 ,it is there1 sure enough4 ,the playgrounds of literature are indeed wide1 and alive with bracing excitement1 nor is there any limit to the variety of the games4 ,but let us be sure1 when we set ,out to be amused1 that we really are amused1 that our humorists do really make us laugh1 and that our story-tellers have stories to tell and know how to tell them4 ,beware of imitations1 and1 when in doubt1 try ,shakespeare1 and ,dumas--even ,ouida4 ,as a rule1 avoid the 8spring lists10 or 8summer reading40 8,summer reading0 is usually very hot work4 ,hackneyed as it is1 there is no better general advice on reading than ,shakespeare's-- ,no profit is where is no pleasure taken1 ,in brief1 sir1 study what you most affect4 ,not only in regard to books whose purpose1 frankly1 is recreation1 but also in regard to the graver uses of books1 this counsel no less holds4 ,no reading does us any good that is not a pleasure to us4 ,her paths are paths of pleasantness4 ,yet1 of course1 this does not mean that all profitable reading is easy reading4 ,some of the books that give us the finest pleasure need the closest application for their enjoyment4 ,there is always a certain spiritual and mental effort necessary to be made before we tackle the great books4 ,one might compare it to the effort of getting up to see the sun rise4 ,it is no little tug to leave one's warm bed--but once we are out in the crystalline morning air1 wasn't it worth it8 ,perhaps our finest pleasure always demands some such austerity of preparation4 ,that is the secret of the truest epicureanism4 ,books like ,dante's 8,divine ,comedy10 or ,plato's dialogues1 will not give themselves to a lounging reader4 ,they demand a braced1 attentive spirit4 ,but when the first effort has been made1 how exhilarating are the altitudes in which we find ourselves2 what a glow of pure joy is the reward which we are almost sure to win by our mental mountaineering4 ,but such books are not for moments when we are unwilling or unable to make that necessary effort4 ,we cannot always be in the mood for the great books1 and often we are too tired physically1 or too low down on the depressed levels of daily life1 even to lift our eyes toward the hills4 ,to attempt the great books--or any books at all--in such moods and moments1 is a mistake4 ,we may thus contract a prejudice against some writer who1 approached in more fortunate moments1 would prove the very man we were looking for4 ,to know when to read is hardly less important than to know what to read4 ,of course1 every one must decide the matter for himself2 but one general counsel may be ventured3 ,read only what you want to read1 and only when you want to read it4 ,some readers find the early morning1 when they have all the world to themselves1 their best time for reading1 and1 if you are a good sleeper1 and do not find early rising more wearying than refreshing1 there is certainly no other time of the day when the mind is so eagerly receptive1 has so keen an edge of appetite1 and absorbs a book in so fine an intoxication4 ,for your true book-lover there is no other exhilaration so exquisite as that with which one reads an inspiring book in the solemn freshness of early morning4 ,one's nerves seem peculiarly strung for exquisite impressions in the first dewy hours of the day1 there is a virginal sensitiveness and purity about all our senses1 and the mere delight of the eye in the printed page is keener than at any other time4 8,the ,muses love the morning1 and that is a fit time for study10 said ,erasmus to his friend ,christianus of ,lubeck2 and1 certainly1 if early rising agrees with one1 there is no better time for getting the very best out of a book4 ,moreover1 morning reading has a way of casting a spell of peace over the whole day4 ,it has a sweet1 solemnizing effect on our thoughts--a sort of mental matins--and through the day's business it accompanies us as with hidden music4 ,there are others who prefer to do their reading at night1 and ,i presume that most readers of this paper are so circumstanced as to have no time to spare for reading during the day4 ,personally1 ,i think that one of the best places to read in is bed4 ,paradoxical as it may sound1 one is not so apt to fall asleep over his book in bed as in the post-prandial armchair4 ,while one's body rests itself1 one's mind1 remains alert1 and1 when the time for sleep comes at last1 it passes into unconsciousness1 tranquilized and sweetened with thought and pleasantly weary with healthy exercise4 ,one awakens1 too1 next morning1 with1 so to say1 a very pleasant taste of meditation in the mouth4 ,erasmus1 again1 has a counsel for the bedtime reader1 expressed with much felicity4 8,a little before you sleep10 he says1 8read something that is exquisite1 and worth remembering2 and contemplate upon it till you fall asleep2 and1 when you awake in the morning1 call yourself to an account for it40 ,in an old ,atlantic ,monthly1 from which1 if ,i remember aright1 he never rescued it1 ,oliver ,wendell ,holmes has a delightful paper on the delights of reading in bed1 entitled 8,pillow-,smoothing ,authors40 ,then1 though ,i suppose we shall have the oculists against us1 the cars are good places to read in--if you have the power of detachment1 and are able to switch off your ears from other people's conversation4 ,it is a good plan to have a book with you in all places and at all times4 ,most likely you will carry it many a day and never give it a single look1 but1 even so1 a book in the hand is always a companionable reminder of that happier world of fancy1 which1 alas6 most of us can only visit by playing truant from the real world4 ,as some men wear boutonnieres1 so a reader carries a book1 and sometimes1 when he is feeling the need of beauty1 or the solace of a friend1 he opens it1 and finds both4 ,probably he will count among the most fruitful moments of his reading the snatched glimpses of beauty and wisdom he has caught in the morning car4 ,the covers of his book have often proved like some secret door1 through which1 surreptitiously opened1 he has looked for a moment into his own particular fairy land4 ,never mind the oculist1 therefore1 but1 whenever you feel like it1 read in the car4 ,one or two technical considerations may be dealt with in this place4 ,how to remember what one reads is one of them4 ,some people are blest with such good memories that they never forget anything that they have once read4 ,literary history has recorded many miraculous memories4 ,still1 it is quite possible to remember too much1 and thus turn one's mind into a lumber-room of useless information4 ,a good reader forgets even more than he remembers4 ,probably we remember all that is really necessary for us1 and1 except in so far as our reading is technical and directed toward some exact science or profession1 accuracy of memory is not important4 ,as the ,sabbath was made for man1 so books were made for the reader1 and1 when a reader has assimilated from any given book his own proper nourishment and pleasure1 the rest of the book is so much oyster shell4 ,the end of true reading is the development of individuality4 ,like a certain water insect1 the reader instinctively selects from the outspread world of books the building materials for the house of his soul4 ,he chooses here and rejects there1 and remembers or forgets according to the formative desire of his nature4 ,yet it often happens that he forgets much that he needs to remember1 and thus the question of methodical aids to memory arises4 ,one's first thought1 of course1 is of the commonplace book4 ,well1 have you ever kept one1 or1 to be more accurate1 tried to keep one8 ,personally1 ,i believe in the commonplace book so long as we don't expect too much from it4 ,its two dangers are 7#a7 that one is apt to make far too many and too minute entries1 and 7#b7 that one is apt to leave all the remembering to the commonplace book1 with a consequent relaxation of one's own attention4 ,on the other hand1 the mere discipline of a commonplace book is a good thing1 and if--as ,i think is the best way--we copy out the passages at full length1 they are thus the more securely fixed in the memory4 ,a commonplace book kept with moderation is really useful1 and may be delightful4 ,but the entries should be made at full length4 ,otherwise1 the thing becomes a mere index1 an index which encourages us to forget4 ,another familiar way of assisting one's memory in reading is to mark one's own striking passages4 ,this method is chiefly worth while for the sake of one's second and subsequent readings2 though it all depends when one makes the markings--at what time of his life1 ,i mean4 ,markings made at the age of twenty years are of little use at thirty--except negatively4 ,in fact1 ,i have usually found that all ,i care to read again of a book read at twenty is just the passages ,i did not mark4 ,this consideration1 however1 does not depreciate the value of one's comparatively contemporary markings4 ,at the same time1 marking1 like indexing1 is apt1 unless guarded against1 to relax the memory4 ,one is apt to mark a passage in lieu of remembering it4 ,still1 for a second reading1 as ,i say--a second reading not too long after the first-- marking is a useful method1 particularly if one regards his first reading of a book as a prospecting of the ground rather than a taking possession4 ,one's first reading is a sort of flying visit1 during which he notes the places he would like to visit again and really come to know4 ,a brief index of one's markings at the end of a volume is a method of memory that commended itself to the booklovers of former days--to ,leigh ,hunt1 for instance4 ,yet none of these external methods1 useful as they may prove1 can compare with a habit of thorough attention4 ,we read far too hurriedly1 too much in the spirit of the 8quick lunch40 ,no doubt we do so a great deal from the misleading idea that there is so very much to read4 ,actually1 there is very little to read1--if we wish for real reading-- and there is time to read it all twice over4 ,we--,americans--bolt our books as we do our food1 and so get far too little good out of them4 ,we treat our mental digestions as brutally as we treat our stomachs4 ,meditation is the digestion of the mind1 but we allow ourselves no time for meditation4 ,we gorge our eyes with the printed page1 but all too little of what we take in with our eyes ever reaches our minds or our spirits4 ,we assimilate what we can from all this hurry of superfluous food1 and the rest goes to waste1 and1 as a natural consequence1 contributes only to the wear and tear of our mental organism4 ,books should be real things4 ,they were so once1 when a man would give a fat field in exchange for a small manuscript2 and they are no less real to-day--some of them4 ,each age contributes one or two real books to the eternal library--and always the old books remain1 magic springs of healing and refreshment4 ,if no one should write a book for a thousand years1 there are quite enough books to keep us going4 ,real books there are in plenty4 ,perhaps there are more real books than there are real readers4 ,books are the strong tincture of experience4 ,they are to be taken carefully1 drop by drop1 not carelessly gulped down by the bottleful4 ,therefore1 if you would get the best out of books1 spend a quarter of an hour in reading1 and three-quarters of an hour in thinking over what you have read4 ,,the ,,guide ,,to ,,daily ,,reading ,,prepared ,,by ,,asa ,,don ,,dickinson ,the elaborate1 systematic 8course of reading0 is a bore4 ,after thirty years spent among books and bookish people ,i have never yet met anyone who would admit that he had ploughed through such a course from beginning to end4 ,of course a few faithful souls1 with abundant leisure1 have done this1 just as there are men who have walked from ,new ,york ,city to ,san ,francisco4 ,good exercise1 doubtless6 ,but most of us have not time for feats of such questionable utility4 ,yet ,i myself and most of the booklovers whom ,i know have started at one time or another to pursue a course of reading1 and we have never regretted our attempts4 ,why8 ,because this is an excellent way to discover the comparatively small number of authors who have a message that we need to hear4 ,when such an one is discovered1 one may with a good conscience let the systematic course go by the board until one has absorbed all that is useful from the store of good things offered by the valuable new acquaintance4 ,each one has his idiosyncrasies4 ,if ,i may be permitted to allude to a personal failing1 let me confess that ,i have never read 8,paradise ,lost0 or 8,pilgrim's ,progress40 ,i have hopefully dipped into them repeatedly1 but--,i don't like them4 ,some day ,i hope to1 but until my mind is ready for these two great world-books1 ,i do not intend to waste time by driving through them with set teeth4 ,there are too many other good books that ,i do enjoy reading4 8,in brief1 ,sir1 study what you most affect40 ,the 8,guide to ,daily ,readings0 which follows makes no claim to be systematic4 ,the aim has been simply to introduce the reader to a goodly company of authors--to provide a daily flower of thought for the buttonhole1 to-day a glorious rose of poetic fancy1 to-morrow a pert little pansy of quaint humor4 ,yet nearly all the selections are doubly significant and interesting if read upon the days to which they are especially assigned4 ,for example1 on ,new ,year's ,day it is suggested that one set one's house in order by reading ,franklin's 8,rules of ,conduct10 ,longfellow's 8,psalm of ,life10 ,bryant's 8,thanatopsis10 and ,lowell's 8,to the ,future02 on ,january #aith1 ,poe's ,birthday1 one is directed to an excellent sketch of ,poe and to typical examples of his best work1 8,the ,raven0 and 8,the ,cask of ,amontillado02 and on ,october #cast1 ,hallowe'en1 one is reminded of ,burns's 8,tam ,o',shanter0 and ,irving's 8,legend of ,sleepy ,hollow40 ,the references are explicit in each case1 so that it is a matter of only a few seconds to find each one4 ,for example1 the reference to the 8,cask of ,amontillado0 is #d-,pt4 ,i #fg-gg2 which means that this tale is ten pages long and will be found in ,part ,i of volume #d1 at page #fg4 ,excepting volumes #aj-ae 7,poetry71 two volumes are bound in one in this set1 so it should be remembered that generally there are two pages numbered #fg in each book4 ,the daily selections can in most cases be read in from fifteen minutes to half an hour1 and ,dr4 ,eliot1 ,president ,emeritus of ,harvard1 has said that fifteen minutes a day devoted to good literature will give every man the essentials of a liberal education4 ,if time can be found between breakfast and the work-hours for these few minutes of reading1 one will receive more benefit than if it is done during the somnolent period which follows the day's work and dinner4 ,it is a mistake1 however1 to read before breakfast4 ,eyes and stomach are too closely related to permit of this4 ,happy is he who can read these books in company with a sympathetic companion4 ,his enjoyment of the treasure they contain will be doubled4 ,one final hint--when reading for something besides pastime1 get in the habit of referring when necessary to dictionary1 encyclopdia1 and atlas4 ,if on the subway or a railway train1 jot down a memorandum of the query on the flyleaf1 and look up the answer at the first opportunity4 ,,asa ,,don ,,dickinson4 ,there is no business1 no avocation whatever1 which will not permit
