Excerpt from The Shrine Invisible

The Family of Books! What a family it is! The wise_ man said, centuries before Christ, of making many books, there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the fies What Was the family of books then, in comparison with that of today! We wonder what Solomon would say, were he living now! Some books have lived long, and their influence has been like that of some people, useful, helpful, cheerful, inspiring, tending Godward. Some books have died in their infancy. Of others, it might be said with propriety, quoting the language, if not the exact words, of Christ, concerning Judas, It would have been good had they never been born. Many now sleep in peaceful oblivion, in the cemetery of Bookdom, and nothing remains to mark their resting-place.
