الصفحة 73 - CHILDREN LEARN TO READ BY BEING IN THE PRESENCE OF BOOKS. THE LOVE OF KNOWLEDGE COMES WITH READING AND GROWS UPON IT. AND THE LOVE OF KNOWLEDGE, IN A YOUNG MIND, IS ALMOST A WARRANT AGAINST THE INFERIOR EXCITEMENT OF PASSIONS AND VICES.
الصفحة 106 - ... chairs, and sleeping upon down, is as if one were bribing your body for the sake of cheating your mind. Is it not pitiable to see a man growing rich, augmenting the comforts of home, and lavishing money on ostentatious upholstery, upon the table, upon everything but what the soul needs? We know of many and many a rich man's house where it would not be safe to ask for the commonest English classics. A few garish annuals on the table, a few pictorial monstrosities, together with the stock religious...
