Excerpt from Postage Stamps and Their Collection, Vol. 1
Were we asked to explain why men of such high standing take up a hobby, seemingly uninteresting and valueless, we should doubtless have to reply that they find in it a very real; need of their being - soothing comfort and rest for the close of the day. In a word, that it gives the mind the complete change it must have; gives the man a new live interest, when business palls, bringing with it a new lease of life and renewal of power for the larger activity of the world.
